you've been missing me, i know it
Where have I been, you might ask. Well, I can’t really say. Seems like I’ve been doing the same thing for forever so nothing new to report, but that’s not true. Our class finished up hemostasis (aka coagulation or bleeding/clotting 101) last week. We had our final and lab practical today. Tomorrow we start a mix of clinical chemistry and clinical issues, which include instrumentation, QC, lab administration and molecular diagnostics. I have mixed feelings about this new topic. On the one hand, I’m glad to be moving away from coag and hematology and starting something fresh and new. On the other hand it’s chemistry.
I’ve started walking to and from the train station as my new daily exercise. I could take a bus from the corner near my house to the train station, but it only takes 10 min to go down the hill in the morning and 15 to hike back up in the evening. Seems like a good workout. ALSO, I’m working on stairs. There are 114 stairs from the train station platform (under some hill) up to the entrance. I’m still puffing, but it’s getting a little easier to make the decision to take the stairs instead of the elevator.
Jeanette and I worked out some code so I could talk smack about some of the folks in the program without them finding out, but I can’t remember what the code words are. J, if you remember, send me those. :) Not that I would ever do anything so uncouth.
I have talked Pat into making the drive down this weekend. So I’ll have a weekend off from driving. If there are any Chico friends reading this blog who happen to like shooting firearms and have the weekend free, maybe March 11th we can a) hit the firing range, or b) meet up for drinks or other.
OH, OH, here’s some exciting news. Just lost power. I’m sitting in the dark watching the battery light on my computer get smaller and smaller. The wind really kicked it up. I guess I can’t read any more tonight. YAY! (oh, did I say that outloud)…
