Oct. 6th, 2002 09:53 pmWell, here we go - hell week.
Ok, the week may not be all that bad, but boy is it gonna be busy busy busy.
Mom, Dave and I spend all day Saturday out in my backyard, building the last two flower beds that make my piece of earth look positively fantastic. Really, folks, it's beautiful. And as soon as I figure out how to share pictures with you, I will. A girl's gotta brag sometimes.
My two blissful weeks with mom are nearly over. Sometime around 5:30 in the morning, she's going to wake me gently and I'm going to somehow get my rear in gear for the aforementioned hell week. She's going to drop me off at the lab on her way out of town and to work to work I'll go.
Then it's off to the races with a wonderful 24 hour experiment. Yep, I have to be on my toes and scientifically clear thinking all day, and then at every 6 hour point after 6am tomorrow until 6am Tuesday. I love getting data, but man o man can it be an exhausting pursuit at times.
And since I so brightly decided to attend a conference at the beginning of November, one at which I will give a talk, I also have to generate the presentation and an abstract pretty soon.
O yeah. There's the presentation Thursday evening and the other one a week from Tuesday to keep me busy, too.
Yikes. The big picture is lookin' a little . . . big right now. I guess I'll be making good use of my mom's favorite advice: Take things one at a time.
So in the spirit of that advice, first things first: bed time. I think I can handle that, no problem.
Good night
