I can’t believe it’s been almost two weeks since I last wrote. I know there’s only a half dozen of you who read this at least semi-regularly, but that’s no reason for me to slack off on writing. I write for me, not for you. Well, for you a little, my lovelies.

At the time I’m writing, it’s mid-Friday morning and I’ve gotten almost no work done yet. I was up a bit too late last night procotoring a biochem exam and woke up several times during the night, so I’m a bit sleep-deprived. There were about 60 kids in my room last night and all of them were done except for one after about an hour and a half. That last one? He took the entire two hours. I’m not really complaining that much — I realize I get paid to be there — but it was a little odd. Then I had to come back to the lab and start a bunch of cultures for today, go home and close up the chickens, run to the movie store and return the movies, then come home to eat dinner. And maybe play a little WoW. :-D

Speaking of the chickens, they seem to be doing well. I’ve been diligent about closing them up at night each night so we haven’t had any problems with that damned raccoon opossum [thanks, Shermi!]. Between reinforcing the lower half and closing them upstairs at night, I think they’re pretty well secured.

Work is going reasonably well right now, which is a pleasant change from the previous few months. I’m starting to get some data back, so perhaps there’s hope for me yet. I have a couple of pup litters due in the next week and am hopeful about getting a bunch of good data out over the next month. Maybe, just maybe, enough to start writing. Maybe.

Speaking of work, I should probably get back to it. Or to it, at any rate. I’ll try to write more soon, including our adventures at the Downtown Arts Festival (we has some arts!) and some book reviews I’ve been meaning to write. Type to you soon.
