Getting more active
One of the biggest changes with my new job was my activity level. I sit almost all 8 hours, or 9 or 10 hours, of my day. Even though there is a gym at my office site, and it's free, and very nice, I rarely went. J and I decided this year as a New Year's resolution we would become more active and start using the gym. We have been pretty good, ( Read more... ) -
Such busy days
I've been reading Gretchen Rubin's blog for a few years now. I really enjoy her thought process, and she strikes me as a positive person. One thing that I've noticed for myself is that the more positively I view things the better my outlook is overall. Right now I am reading her new book on habits, called Better Than Before. For me, habits ( Read more... ) -
Peep....I finally found my way back!
Wow, so four years since my last post. I can't believe it's been so long. To say life has been busy would be an understatement. I've checked in a couple of times, but that's about it ( Read more... ) -

Another long lapse
The last time I updated was just after my aunt's death. Things got worse for a little while; my husband received a call just a few weeks later that his mother was fading quickly. He flew into San Antonio to meet his brother, and they drove together to south Georgia. They didn't make it; his mom died early in the morning on September 15. I flew ( Read more... ) -
Wedding!
Jay and I headed back to Great Falls Montana this weekend to photograph our niece Ashly's wedding. Despite being worried about Delta losing the checked bag containing the lighting rig, the only bad thing that happened was that our early flight out of LA was delayed due to mechanical problems, and we missed our connecting flight in Salt Lake City ( Read more... ) -
How do you know when to go?
I think I finally hit my limit today. Things have gotten to the point at the lab, that I feel myself getting sick everyday I have to come in to work. That is, if my boss is going to be at work. Sometimes she's not and that's a great day - I love my co-workers, and I love being a scientist. But I cannot take my boss anymore. She's disorganized ( Read more... ) -
Update on May and June
I remember when I used to post regularly; then it slipped to once a month. Is my life really this busy? I think not. Though the last couple of months have been extremely stressful, in both good and bad ways ( Read more... ) -
Writing...
Sometimes it feels like the more work I finish, the more work I uncover that needs to be finished... I am editing the hydro proteome manuscript, and it will need at least one section added, maybe two. And all the figures and tables need to be updated. Glargh.
