Anyone at Harvard need a super well-trained undergrad next semester? Cell culture, molecular bio, microscopy and data analysis. Very careful and rigorous. Good lab citizen. Ready to jump in and learn/get some data! Has light course load, so plenty of time for research! Let me know of any leads!

True - it’s just really hard to keep track of everything around this time.

I just drove three miles to find my spouse’s prescription because I thought I had left it in the shopping cart.

It was in the trunk of our car.

Nothing else of value is getting done today.

As the babies now sleep (a little) better, I have gone back to 3h walking/day.

The thing is, this is a gorgeous place to do it, but it isn’t Boston.

It gets boring.

The only thing helping me through it is the Dungeon Crawler Carl audiobooks.

Those things scratch an itch I didn’t know I had.

We just got word that 7yo’s class pet, a hamster named β€œPringles” passed.

First sentence out of her, in total agony, was: β€œbut who will take care of him now?”

I can’t. Even. With. These. Girls.

I put on some classical music for the twins.

For some reason I don’t understand they will not stop clapping to Chopin.
