No, I have not purchased a book or any sewing materials; however, I have not updated this blog for such a long time, that I think it my pertinent obligation to do so at this time.
I must say that I have made some progress. I just about finished another of my four dolphins. The problem is that the cross stitch I am working on right now is like 200 x 400 stitches, and I take forever doing stitches. At best, I think I probably have about two or three thousand out of over 80,000 stitches done.
Bookwise, however, things appear to be going much better. I finished my book on the Fall of the Roman Empire about three days ago now, and then I also finished a book on the Norman Conquest two days ago. I started Mary Luke's A Crown for Elizabeth (which so far is much more about Mary Tudor than Elizabeth), and already, I must admit that I have much more sympathy for her than I ever did. I've always been amazed at Elizabeth's tenure as queen, and Mary always is treated as a failure and condemned for her purges of upper society of Protestantism.
Work looks to be winding down severely now. I think I'm going to re-run several sets of cells, as my experiments on Monday were not that great on certain sectors. Basically, however, I am now at least 95% done with my lab-work. Of course, I now just found out that the other reason that my other cells don't grow is because our protein concentrations are supposed to be double what they are in the doubled media.
Plus, I just recently confirmed my suspicions that one of the cell lines I work with contains the virus responsible for cervical and certain types of uterine, penile, and anal cancers. Wunderbar.
Well, at least if any of these pop up, I can always claim that it was from the cells that I worked with. On the other hand though, I have to assume that because I did not move up to the P2 level, that I am at least a carrier for the virus. Convenient excuse for never getting married: I can't get married because I'll give you HPV.
The great horrible thing I have not done: I HAVEN'T EVEN STARTED GRAD SCHOOL STATEMENTS OF PURPOSE! GAH!

You are so right about us having to figure things out. Don't laugh at me, but I think it was Will Smith you said this...his solution to life is to "Run and Read."
Run - To defeat that little voice in your head that says "Oh, I'm tired. I need to stop."
Read - Because there isn't something people before us haven't figured out already.
I guess we should get jiggy with With Smith, huh? Lol.
