Week 10

Welcome back and happy Tuesday.  It was an interesting weather week last week and it's still pretty cold.  I'm missing the warm spring like days.  Maybe it will get it out of its system so the end of the month will be nice for spring break.  I'd be fine with that.  Otherwise more of the same around here with work, school, sports and just trying to enjoy the most of what we can.

Take a look at last week's pictures:

Day 67- Monday, 3/8/21

We're starting the week with a nice sunny day, but it's the calm before the storm.  I was also able to start my work week with this new friend.  He was chattering at me while I went between buildings and even let me snap a picture.  Later, at home, this is the 1st thing Brandon does after his virtual classes are over--plops down on the couch next to Bella so he can get some puppy love.  They are both home all day but don't get to see each other until the afternoon.

Day 68- Tuesday, 3/9/21

I'm working from home watching a Town Hall presentation given by my soon-to-be new boss as she applies for the Associate Dean of Global Programs at the vet school.  My current boss is retiring in June but my work will continue as I transition to Dr. Smith who I've also worked with before and known for many years so it's a good move for us all.

Day 69- Wednesday, 3/10/21

The skies are angry today.  There was thunder and hail and a little bit of sprinkles but no real rain just yet.  Even still, new spring flowers persist in popping up daily.

Day 70- Thursday, 3/11/21

. . . And today the rain comes hard and fast but with breaks of sun here and there before starting again.  The rain much needed so we'll take it.  It will not rain on John's parade though.  He is super happy that March Madness will happen this year and that he's able to watch his favorite basketball team play this evening.

Day 71- Friday, 3/12/21

What a full work week!  We mass produced 1100 antigen slides by hand.  That's 1100 slides with 24 wells on each slide equaling 26,400 pipet clicks to dispense the antigen plus another 26,400 clicks to get all the wells fixed.  Thank goodness I have a good colleague to tag team with, but still, I'm so glad it's Friday--time for a break.  In other news, Justin was able to get his 1st vaccine given to him by Humboldt State University since he is a student employee on campus.  I'm so happy they are taking good care of him and looking out for their students' wellbeing.

Day 72- Saturday, 3/13/21

It must be March since there a fields of mustard in bloom--so pretty.  We have our blue skies and sunshine back but it's not as warm as it looks.  This evening we watched Harriet which was not about the underground railroad but about the events in her life that lead up to that and was really good but super long which is why Rusty is staring me down.  It's way past our usual bedtime and he wants us to all to go to bed right now.

Day 73- Sunday, 3/14/21

Yay! We were all happy to discover that Pi day this year would fall on Sunday so we could enjoy pie for dessert after our Sunday family dinner.  What a great way to end the week.  Also Brandon and Tyler were messing with the dog and giving her a superhero cape.  She's such a good sport!

All done!  Thanks for stopping by and hope to see you back next week.
