happy couple of days
Tuesday:
1. Super fun conversation about the pronunciation of "gif" -- this conversation, which occurs near me periodically, is not normally so great, but we had the right combo of linguistics knowledge, history, pickiness, and just messing with people to make it highly entertaining.
2. My sinus-throat doom got worse! That feeling of burning pain represents vindication and rightness in my going to the doctor Monday. Also that I need to drink lots of tea with honey. (Yes okay this as positive is a stretch, but I really did feel all justified and correct for a sec there.)
3. Revised NSF deadlines came out! Friday for me. I am all excited to turn it in, but I have a bunch to do before that.
4. I cleaned off my entire dining-room table. This is huge and totally counts for Tuesday chores. Even if I just moved part of the load to a chair.
Wednesday:
1. PI is back and was really happy to see my printed thesis copy on her desk! She wants me to sign it. And write something. And draw a picture maybe. (So adorable.)
2. This proposal is going to be really good when we're done whaling on it, because I am a badass and so are my sponsors. This collaboration is great right now.
3. My experiment today, for which I had planned five hours, took only two and provided a really interesting result.
4. I had a good dinner with M-pig despite eventually getting v. antsy about not working.
5. Lovely sunshiny day, lovely foggy night.
