I am doing another 1 h. stimulation of cells followed by 12 hours of incubation today. I have plenty to do, but I am exhausted from work late last night on revisions and getting up ass early this morning to get on the bus by 6:30am. I would like to castrate whomever decided to do road construction on Como Avenue AND Hennipen at the same time. My little condo escape is now really cut off from the lab, making my commute, which used to be easy, VERY stressful.

On the bright side, I did plant some flowers last night. This normally makes me a little sad, as it was one of the last things I did with my father before he died. I have a feeling that planting will always have that association for me.

Well, my timer says I have 6 min. until I remove my treatment....then I can get a giant espresso and hopefully get some work done.

Wish me luck!
