December Rush

gaaaahhh I think everything will work out okay but right now I feel a bit stressed out trying to finish everything in time to head home for the holidays.

It's a weird stress like "aaah I need to finish all this" and "meh it doesn't matter." Since they only give us 10 weeks in each lab it's hard to find anything meaningful. I heard last year someone described their methods and put up basically blank slides saying "I found nothing but this is how I did it!"

I'm really excited to head home and be a bum for two weeks. What's everyone else's holiday plans??

I read this on totallytogetherjournal.com and wanted to spread the word...

your challenge for today: if you find yourself feeling unhappy, change it. Turn off the news if it’s depressing. Don’t talk to that certain someone who drags you down. Stay away from cranky people at the grocery store. Spread joy.

choose happiness.

Except Mo is being put down on Friday. Damn. What do I do about that?

UPDATE

The day after I wrote my last post, Momo had diarrhea in her crate while I was at work. AWESOME.

Belated Thanks

I am thankful to be (almost) done with applications to grad school.

I am thankful for my metabolism, esp. after all the cookie dough I ate.

I am thankful that I have a job.

I am thankful that Momo has never had diarrhea, after reading all the horror stories.

I am thankful that we found out Momo had ruptured discs in her spine BEFORE paralysis set in.

I am thankful to have friends and family.

I am thankful for this cup of coffee that I am about to drink at 10PM.

Seattle + snow = fail

There's 1.5 inches of snow on the ground and the entire city shut down. Also it's going to be about 20 degrees tomorrow.

And Michigan is warmer.

Global warming???

This might be too good to pass up for the Hummus Project...

Head to Starbucks with a friend November 18-21, 2010 and you will enjoy a fantastic special: When you buy one holiday drink you will get one free. The offer is only available from 2 – 5 p.m. on the aforementioned days. The drinks included in this promotion include: Caramel Brulee Latte, Peppermint Mocha

I am eating lentils that my friend left me when he moved to California. That is what I've resorted to. I wouldn't be nearly as dramatic about this, except Friend#1 is going all out on her financial fast and making me feel guilty. Though she did spend more money in Italy than I did, but I have a effed up dog. Damn you, Hummus Project. I will just have to remember Italy and all the wonderful things I've eaten there...
