My Day Off

So I stayed up til 3 AM chatting with my west coast friend. The sacrifices I make for this friendship! However it's all good since I got to sleep in today and woke up at a late and lazy 10'oclock. Glorious Glorious! Loved it!

I dropped by my lab briefly at around 12:30 to grow some more cells. I found just about everyone there, hard at work on a "day off." How sad for post-doc students. There is no day off. Your very life is tied to your experiment and you exist at the beck and call of your experimental protocols. At least all I had to do was prepare for tomorrow's experiment and boy did my hands fly. I was out of there in about 20 minutes when it'd normally take me 45. Nothing motivates like the call of freedom.

Then later on I went out to lunch with my parents at this neat little Asian bistro called Pacifica Cafe. We had some Thai food. Now I'm no thai connossieur, but the food was pretty decent. The owner of the bistro is this tiny dimunitive woman who is 35 but looks 17. She could probably fit comfortably on my left shoulder. Tiny people look so young, so not fair.

Anyhoo, time to get back on track. I get distracted way too easily.
