The other problem is related to work. A number of things have conspired against me this summer and I haven't come even close to meeting my goals. I had to pick up and move my lab, office, teaching lab and various other things I'm supposed to oversee. And all of this into space that wasn't really ready for us and is compressed (meaning less space). Then, I've had a visiting student in my group this summer who has not turned out as expected.
But with all of this, there have been some good highlights.
1)
These arrived at my office on Wednesday! Lovely! And they smell divine! Thanks D!2) We had an incredible dinner out last Saturday. I got all dressed up - something I haven't done in a while. Have you ever seen me wear makeup? And the bonus was we could walk to the restaurant. We shared a bottle of Lange Pino Gris. And enjoyed a cheese plate to start. The chevre was drizzled with lavender honey. Amazing. I have to try this at home. Funny thing is that I just bought some organic dried lavender on a trip to Delaware/Pennsylvania to visit a college friend a few weekends ago. Now I really have to try it. And D's main dish was lavender encrusted tuna. Amazing.
3) I have new music. The New Pornographers are incredible. Thanks to another friend from college for the recommendation.
4) I'm moving up in the world and I have 2 followers. Sorry to disappoint you all with my lack of posts recently.

The roses look like "sterling silver"--are they? SS roses smell delightful!!
p.s. I'm going to the gym tmw morning too since I couldn't go tonight --maybe we'll be there at the same time? ;)
Now, everything makes more sense. Hope August weekends are a little more relaxed. BTW, when they promise that your new space will be ready when you need it, their definition of ready is NEVER in agreement with your definition of ready. Problem solving, here you come. Yea for roses! Momma
