Happy Father's Day to everyone out there who is or has a father to celebrate with. Matt, Karen, Mom, and I were lucky to get to spend Father's Day with my Uncle Terry and his family this year. We went to the Twins/Astros game and had a great time. June is always going to be a bit of a "blue" month for me....It will be two years on Wednesday since Dad passed away and I think I miss him more now than last year.....so much I wish I could talk to him about.

I have been extremely stressed out in the lab the past few weeks. My boss pulled a really dumb ass move while I was on funeral leave, and I hate to say it, but no matter how much he apologizes for it, I lost a little respect for him.
I think I have finally turned a corner on one of my really frustrating projects, but I don't know if the price I paid for it was worth it. I worked so hard the last few weeks that both my forearms and hands are screaming in pain. I now have "repetitive motion tendinitis" in both arms and have to take a bucketful of ibuprofen, ice, and wear splints for at least the next two weeks. Oh....I have to avoid pipetting and playing my bass.....like that is going to happen!
Sort of a negative post....blame it on the gloomy weather outside.
