My 1001 days for my 101/1001 list started yesterday. I had worked overnight the night before, so it was a mostly lazy day of catching up on TV and sleeping. I’m the only tech in the lab today, and my PI and lab manager are in Europe for a conference, so I’ve been a little [...]

First of all, Kevin and I have been married one month today! We surprised each other (we didn’t discuss our month-a-versary at all) with red roses. I picked up a dozen at Reading Terminal on the way home today to leave on Kevin’s dresser because I thought he was going to be at work tonight [...]

As I’ve mentioned in passing several times, I have quite a list of chronic illnesses. At the end of my junior year of high school, I was bitten by a brown recluse spider, one of the only two types of poisonous to humans spiders. I had a hard, purple indentation on the outside of my [...]

The ligament in my left wrist is still torn (from being mugged at the end of September, and then exacerbated by me twisting caps on tubes at work a few weeks ago); this means that I’ve got a fairly heavy brace on my wrist/hand. And that I can’t really use my left arm/hand effectively. I [...]
