Birthday Reflections…

It’s after midnight. December 23rd.  And like last year, I am awake and pausing to reflect on where this year has taken me.  Last year, I was dealing with things collapsing around me regarding my ex-friend, I was grieving being single at my age and facing the reality of not having kids — maybe never [...]

I’m crazy busy but still here…

… don’t worry, I haven’t vanished, I haven’t stopped posting permanently. I just haven’t had a free second. I’ll try to find time this week or maybe next weekend to write a trip summary post — the individual posts I was describing likely wont happen very quickly. Then I’ll give you my first impressions of [...]

Flux

Have you ever felt like you know that life is changing? Things in my life are in flux. There’s nothing obviously different, but as a friend said to me (about my life) in an email today “I have been feeling like everything is massively shifting”. I have started to feel like my life is really [...]

When you don’t know what to say…

Tonight was an intense night. Things happened that needed to happen and I don’t know that I feel good about them yet. It was intense.  I need to blog, I need to write, but the words aren’t in me.  When thinking about life, future the way things need to go, I know that going through [...]

Ice Cream Disappointment

So I worked late today. As of yesterday I’ve switched to 8am – 4pm and it’s wonderful! But, today 4pm rolled around and there was no one in our department. So I stayed around.
I was after 8 hours so I figured that I was just there to deal with anything if needed, so I pretty [...]

A Saturday Morning of Beauty

Last night was a blues dance night and for the first time in probably 2 months, I genuinely had a great time.  I dragged myself there, but loved every minute of it. My dancing [...]

Sorting Out Options… and Do They Think This is Easy?

Now that I’m working, I seem to have options for other opportunities sent my way. There’s the school option, multiple interview options – often with recruiters who I’ve worked with in the past – they all seem to have the ‘perfect for me’ job. There’s the test, too.
The test I’ll take, that could set me [...]

Can I imagine???

Recently I posted asking the question: “a year ago could you have imagined where you’d be and what you’d be doing today?”. Now I’m truely faced with considering the reverse. Can I imagine what my life will be like in a year? Two? Five? Ten?
I’ve recently started a new job, after more than a year [...]

The Ebbs and Flows of a Week

Time just seems to fly by, and it’s hard to believe it’s already the end of Wednesday.  Tuesday was a busy day at work, and today I managed to get a handle on a particular technique that I haven’t yet had to work with.  So I’ve been wrapping my brain around flow cytometry, which has [...]

Moving to a proper blog…

I have just begun a blog here on wordpress, and I am looking forward to exploring all the options. I’ve had a brief photoblog elsewhere, which I will move over here — eventually, though I haven’t updated it in a long time.  I also have a blog, that I do update (or have) on another [...]
