It finally felt like spring yesterday - temps were close to the 70's and the daffodils are in bloom! Even though it hasn't been really cold this winter, it's been DREARY. Because the temps hovered just above freezing, we go this cold.yucky.rain.
I've been to various doctors a lot the past 2 weeks. Had my leg veins checked - they're okay (ugly to me); diabetes check - my sugars have gone up but not enough to go up on the meds, so more exercise is definitely in order; a med check on concerta - sometimes I can't get to sleep, so again, can't change it so I need to exercise to get it through my system. Last Tuesday I participated in a study looking at the relationship between diabetes and memory and got paid for it! The most interesting part of it was having another MRI - it's old hat to me now. However, this time I was on my back and they put a "football helmet-like thing" on my head - probably like what Cheri experienced since they were imaging my brain. I've learned to ignore all the banging and shaking, so I could just sleep through it - nice!
I took last Tuesday off since I was at appointments all day. It also was lab inspection day. The day before was hectic as we were getting the lab in ship shape. I worked like a beaver finishing up organizing and labeling all the cords, cables, and electronics stuff we had - wayyyyy too much, so I set a bunch aside for "surplus." On Wednesday we starting a new project making room for another touchscreen box in the "training" room. I don't think a thing had been moved in that room for 20 years. So we did it right, right down to getting down on the floor and scraping hairy rat crud that had built up under the boxes. Frances and Andrew (who are both tall), took down the ceiling tiles so they could get rid of excess cables and route everything that we used through the ceiling instead of across and around the room. It looks like a new place! I said something to Rob about painting the boxes a new color, and he said that was fine.
I finally got some seeds started yesterday in the 48 well container things. Cross your fingers the plants come up!
I enjoyed talking with Matt and Rebekah Friday night. I can't figure out what's up with the web cam microphone. I spent over an hour and thought I got it working, and then it refused to work. Anyhow, it was great to talk to them. If you have any ideas what could be going on, let me know! (It's a new web cam). I called the support phone number, and the menu referred me back to the exact number I dialed for technical help - dumb!
Jacob Murphy should be leaving tomorrow for his mission - North Salt Lake. They weren't there yesterday, and he never gave a talk in Sacrament meeting - don't know what's up with that. I know Kylie Jenkins is somewhere in the "preparing for a mission" mode.
Anthony Sweat is coming to our area in 2 weeks to do an all day training thing. (I get him mixed up with Andrew Sweatt, my boss). Anyhow, have any of you heard him speak or had classes, or know anything about him? The thing is meant for teachers, but anyone can come, and if you think he's good, I may come.
Emily hasn't heard anymore about the cruise job. I think someone got her hopes up too much.
Have any of you tried "quinoa"? I've read alot about how it's so much better for you than rice or pasta. I made this Southwestern type salad with tomatoes, guacamole,etc. The salad was really good and it filled me up! I'm looking for more recipes. It's like $6 for a 1/2 pound box, but if it's as good for you as they say, it will be worth it.
Have a wonderful week!
