Today didn't seem like a bad day at all. In fact it was a lot like most of my days with the addition of four hours in a freezing cold room sucking up various acids into a pipette and depositing them into my columns. But then as I was coming home I couldn't bring myself to think about my day without being on the verge of tears. It was very odd. Actually I guess I was very tense all day because doing any sort of chemistry lab work makes me tense. You have to be so careful about every little thing. Don't squirt the acid into the columns too harshly. Don't pick up the solutions quickly. Don't let the pipette tip touch anything. Don't nudge the column holder. It drives me crazy. This is why I made my partners in chem lab do all the tricky stuff while I solved the problems in the lab book. Actually the one nice things about the "clean lab"is that they use those fancy pipettes that measure liquids for you so I don't use my eyes and figure out where the line is and all that. It makes me incredibly anxious because I just know I'll get it wrong.
On the positive side of things I just ate a delicious
Ginger People ginger chew. They have the best artwork of any product (that I can think of at the moment).
Trying to eat less makes me eat more. I generally eat if it occurs to me to eat and food is handy. It is pretty funny.
