gnommiToday's been a mammoth day with the FACS Sorter With The Big Laser, setting up a bunch of experiments that will hopefully tidy up the data from the Great Paper Failure into a state more fit for publication. It's hitting me that I am running out of days in which to do experiments and I have an awful lot left to do. I also just remembered that I lose two days this week to my sponsor's Winter Meeting, where I have a poster (P71). ARGH.
To make matters worse, the CBT that my psychiatrist has been trying to inflict on me for the last ever has finally materialised in the form of weekly hour-long sessions in the middle of Southampton. Timed cunningly to coincide with my last month of lab-work before write up. Gods. Mock. Etc. I neither want it nor think I need it, but hey, I'm not the mental health specialist, just the wierdo who went AWOL for six months halfway through her PhD. (Doesn't everyone? -Ed.)
Mashed up some Jerusalem artichokes that my brother-in-law grew with some potatoes for dinner. I've only had them once previously, in the Athenaeum. It never struck me before that they are actually the roots of some kind of sunflower. Very tasty. My sister calls them 'fartichokes' however, so we could be in for stormy weather...
