Compilations of Melancholy Today is gray and rainy. Last night was one of those nights that I don't get more than an hour of uninterrupted sleep. I've been feeling melancholic lately. My bike got stolen. I don't get any exercise now. Yes, I'm thin now, but I'm so out of shape I still don't look good. I'm not sure when to fit in any exercise. I've thought of running the five miles to work, but running with a backpack? I don't think so! It bounces all around and would be too sweaty. I suppose I only need to carry my small cooler with the bottles in it, but even that is too much. I've considered bringing a supply of bottles with me on a day that I ride the bus, then I could have my hands free. We'll see. They are installing electronic keyless entry on our doors at home. They will always be locked, so if you just want to hop on over to the neighbors' you have to remember your keycard. Oh yes, we also only get one keycard. That is so fucking ridiculous. I think we have the option of paying for another one. What the fuck? In an apartment complex that you can only live in if you're married, how do they justify only providing one keycard? Motherfuckers. I'm so tired of my life being made difficult by the stupidity of people. The fucking cluelessness. Bah. My husband is leaving for Colorado for a week away from the kids. His mother will be watching the kids while I go to work. We get to spend a whole week together. I hope that it helps things and that we come to a place of understanding. They cleaned and polished the floors in our office suite. It looks so much better! I'm tired. Now I need to compile the data from the fluorimetry and x-ray diffraction I did yesterday. My newest films don't look very ordered. I think it's because the humidity during aging wasn't kept above 45%. I talked to a guy in my research group who gave me some ideas for maintaining constant humidity, so I guess I'll test that then make more films. The whole process was so time consuming, all for naught. |
