Sleep deprivation is directly related to mental instability. I have been sleeping when the girls sleep and am so much better for it. I was really strung out.
Today we took the bus(es) to a small, ancient farm near the university. We walked through the fields and saw the animals, and it was very low key and relaxed. However, Artemis was bitten by a wasp - she still wont let me look at it.
Now Nem and I are at home, figuring out what to do until Artemis wakes up. I miss these easy times with the girls!
So, to put a little twist in my knickers, yesterday I found out that I received my own Humboldt Fellowship. How do you like that?
Up to 18 months, 2700 Euro/month + 800 Euro/month research fees, plus spouse and child allowance, plus all our air fares and on and on and on......Its a lot of money. Plus life long association with the foundation with more support.
However, I applied for it thinking it would overlap with Ys. Problem is, requires 6 months residency, over a year (or two?).
Any how.
That's what I got.

ReplyDeleteWow! Alot to think about. How long do you have it for? Must you embark in the next year or could you go several years from now? Or better still, sign it over to me?
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the Humboldt Fellowship!! Wonder where you would like to go with it.
ReplyDeleteI was stung by a wasp not long ago and made a paste of baking soda and water and put it on the sting.
It quit hurting immediately and didn't even swell. It does really hurt to get stung so I feel sorry for Artemis
Never a dull moment ! Pick somewhere cool so I will be motivated to actually get a visa.
