So Spring Break was anti-climatic. David and I had to stay in Tucson since one of his experiments failed. So he had a bunch of stuff to redo in the lab. Also, someone gave him a huge list of things to get done during the week before Spring Break (not all of it did). Groan. These cells just keep dying for some weird reason. David managed to catch something last week and then he felt miserable yesterday. It is not our month out here. David's birthday is next week - I've already given him one of his presents, which he loved. The other is in hiding until the actual day. He still doesn't know where he wants to go out for dinner though.
My little sister apparently has to take finals for her 2 non-AP classes since she's missed too much school this semester. Get this - one is a study hall (lunch and homework, no class work, not guided study) and the other is forensics which she has a high A in. Wow, really BHS? So she takes one final. Ouch (insert heavy sarcastic emphasis on that word). She's already gotten into GA Tech and has an A average but okay.
This week is the spring break for my district so I get to stay home all day. Wait, how is this different from any other day??? Hmmm. Wait, I don't have the chance of getting calls at 5AM for working the same day. So I'm working on some crafts - 3 blankets and a yoga/pilates mat holder/carrier strap. One blanket is for my friend's baby, one is for my sis, and the other is supposedly for me. Don't know about that. Might end up giving it away. Also, I found out that I'm going to be an aunt again. Little niece coming in August. So I need to think of a good project to do for her.
Otherwise, I do housework - so thrilling. I've fallen in love with the "Dresden Files". It reminds a little bit of Buffy but seriously the best character is Bob. Bob is a sarcastic, pessimistic ghost doomed to live in his own skull for all eternity since he dared to bring back his love from the dead. Love him. He has some of the best one liners in the show. Of course, after I find this show and fall in love, I learn that it was canceled after 1 season back in 2007. Sigh. I also need to find a way to get my Dr. Who fix in. Over the holidays I watched so much Dr. Who, Criminal Minds, and NCIS. Oh TV I do love you so. However, I know that I would totally veg in front of said TV if it had cable. Curse you TV.
Still, life is good. My paychecks finally started getting directly deposited into my account (that only took 3 months to figure out) so I don't have to make bank runs. David has officially declared himself a member of Dr. Cherrington's lab and has buried himself in work. I state again, if you are interested in his research I must insist that you call or email him for the details. Since I don't quite understand everything that he says about it. But he is excited so that's good.
Dude, say goodbye to Spring Break (or any breaks, really) if David is full time at the lab. I've had to sabotage experiments before just to get out for Christmas :P
ReplyDeleteBut then when you least expect it you'll have a week where you're just waiting for stuff and have nothing to do. Such is science, I guess. Post photos of craft stuff!
