Weekend
The weekend was good. Hovel was cleaned and re-org is under way. I think it's just going to take us some time. It was low key and we all seemed to have fun. I didn't even steal Mrspix adorable shoes (mostly cause they are half a size too small for me). Sunday was relax and play with the little man day. So, not much acomplished but in a good ( Read more... ) -
Naturally it's 100 out
The Good:
We live in the South, where they take AC seriously. That means like most two story houses, our hovel* doesn't just have one big AC unit for the whole thing. It has two separate AC units (one for the upper floor and one for the lower floor). This means that while my upstairs would make a great sauna, it is normal downstairs.

Open letter to the furballs
Dear Felines,
3 am is not the appropriate time for loud spastic beahviour and/or fighting in the master bedroom. You sleep 18 out of 24 hours, please try and make 8 of those while we are sleeping. If this is not possible, keep it downstairs and keep it quiet!
Many thanks,
The monkeys that feed you and clean your poo boxes.

Weekend thus far..
Lab Courtesy or the complete lack thereof..
I spent two hours I didn't really have friday afternoon swirling liter sep. funnels in the hood (thus neglecting paperwork, cleanup, afternoon break, and rushing my set of NO3). All because one of my other clients sent in an MBAS at noon. It was taken Thursday morning, so it's not like they ( Read more... ) -

Two straight days of shaking 1L sep. funnels at arms length in an exhaust hood had the expected effect. Oww.... Still I've felt worse, and I will heal (as much as I ever do from this). I think I should still be o.k. to fight the tourney Sat. (yes probably a dumb idea, but I'm doing it anyway). Oh, time to head off to work -

The Human Brain.....Isn't it amazing?
For the record it still hurts to breathe. I just don't notice it if I'm not thinking about it. Yup, my brain is perfectly capable of blocking a pain signal as long as it's not changing duration or strength. Nice to know that our brains are pretty good at taking care of us.
Screaming meltdown
