Well I’ve been marginally productive today.
I was awake from 1am-7am thanks to drug*-induced sleep. I was simply trying to clear the congestion and the next thing I knew, I’d been sleep for almost 5 hours. This left me wide awake, and instead of doing the right thing (reading papers, working on my document), I surfed the internet and looked at people’s outfits on weardrobe.com. So sad, but hey – you win some and you lose some. I definitely lost that one.
At 8, I decided to make coffee cake muffins. It was basically a coffee cake in a muffin liner. I didn’t have the strength or energy to make anything else for lab meeting. I ended up falling asleep from more drugs*. This led to too much spending at Wal-mart so my labmates could have a variety of food. Not doing that again. Can’t please everyone. I lost and won because there was a lesson learned.
I stayed in lab until ~9pm and got a lot of stuff done for tomorrow. It’s been so long since I’ve worked at the bench that I’ve felt somewhat awkward. It was great to get my science mojo back. I definitely WON that one.
Tomorrow I have a meeting with the Dean of the Graduate School and a departmental holiday party. I’m making Spiced Pecans as an appetizer – I wanted to make pecan pie, but they had enough desserts. I may make one anyway, and bring it in to Sunny. Then, maybe I could convince her to take some pictures for me next week to document my winter wardrobe. Sounds like a good trade to me…
I’m crashing a bar crawl on Saturday in downtown Raleigh. I went last year, paid a bunch of money, and had a good time. This year I plan to go, save that money, and still have a good time. We’ll see how that works.
*Said drugs are simply Nyquil, Chloraseptic, and Maxifed. I will not be on A&E Intervention.
