So, everyone month or so, I try to get out to my mom's to help her with house improvement projects. I don't know if it is because I feel guilty that she's alone now, or what, but I generally make time for her. She's much more pleasant than she was when my dad was alive.

My thesis was approved and I managed to get all of the signatures needed in time for the October graduation deadline. This means that I have completed my Masters in Chemistry! I don't technically graduate until May 2010 because that is when I would walk in a ceremony. My diploma will be dated October 1, 2009 whenever I receive it.

Morning laugh

I have a physical this morning. In order to get an accurate cholesterol reading, I have to fast. I kept telling Andrew to remind me not to eat before work. He put a reminder on his calendar that has me giggling right now. "6 am - Don't feed Gretel" He he he ( Read more... )
