Grossly ambitious plans, part 5.

I am going to be in a mood all day tomorrow, because tomorrow is the day I had originally planned to start walking.

Work is a constant source of anxiety for me at the moment, because no one knows about this trip and I'm determined that no one WILL know any earlier than June.  I found out about two weeks ago that I'm not going to know the date of our lab inspection in advance; instead we're only going to have one hour's notice.  I had hoped that the inspection would come BEFORE I gave notice, but that's almost certainly not going to happen.  So I'm just going to have to deal with whatever backlash comes until I'm out of there.

I watched The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks last night.  A better title might have been, The Never-Ending Mental Breakdown of Deborah Lacks, or The Transparent Emmy-Grab of Oprah Winfrey.  There wasn't nearly enough about Henrietta herself, which ironically enough is what prompted the book that the film was based on.  But one positive-ish thing I will say about it, is that the section about Elsie Lacks in the mental hospital was absolutely gut-wrenching and I was not at all prepared for it.
