Update

So yeah I know I haven’t blogged in forever. I guess there just hasn’t been much that has inspired me to blog lately. Also, ever since I had that 2 month long sinus infection in January and February, I’ve been feeling like my brain is stuffed full of cotton or something. It has been a struggle just to concentrate enough to do work stuff, so I haven’t had a lot of brain cells left to think deep thoughts. In truth, I still don’t think I am fully better. I still get headaches quite a bit. Maybe the sinus infection increased my sensitivity to some allergen or something, but I haven’t gone for more than a day or two without a headache since before I had the sinus infection (going on three months now). The headaches aren’t nearly as bad as when I had the sinus infection; it is just a nagging ache in my forehead and around my eyes that won’t go away. Advil Cold and Sinus helps a lot. What a wonderful product! ;-)

Other than that there is not too much going on. I’ve had a frustrating week in the lab so far because my PCR is screwing up. But of course I didn’t find that out until the next day when I ran my gels, so I wasted two days and still have no idea what is wrong with the PCRs. The rest of my week will probably be spent troubleshooting. Also, starting next Thursday I am giving three different hour long talks in 6 days, with a day of putting up nest boxes snuggled in between, so I will be keeping quite busy for a while.

I want to go!!!

Space tourism companies reaching for the stars

At the rate I'm going, maybe I will be able to honeymoon on Mars. ;-)

I'm a big kid now

I got my new queen sized bed today! Finally I'll be sleeping on something bigger than the twin I had all through college!


And yes, that is a pillow sham and a dust ruffle you see. Aren't I grown up???
