Shortie, but probably not a goodie...

I don't have much time for a blog today, but seeing as it's been over a month since my last one I figured I should at least do a short one to bring people up to speed.

There really isn't too much new with me (hense the lack of blogs), so I'm at a loss for what to write even. My counseling is still on track. I had another meeting this week. It went well, and for once I felt really good that day. Finally, for some reason, I seem to have relieved myself (at least slightly) of my emotional "wet blanket" as I like to call it. It's given me a chance to ground myself a little, and I've realized that like any other roadblock in my life I have to get around this one too. I'm sure there's a detour around here somewhere, and I think I'm getting closer to it.

Of course I have to talk about lab, and as usual I thought I was close to a publication until we decided to do a couple more experiments. The plan is to show "mechanism" data that will solidify our hypothesis for WHY the tumors occur, not just that they DO occur. OH! I almost forgot! Our lab is downsizing once again, which means we're losing a post-doc. She'll be starting in a new lab on Tuesday... And then there were three.

Fleegle is doing well... Cute and cuddly as always. He'll be spending some time with Tim and Jen in a month when I take my trips. I'm trying to also schedule in some time that I can get out to California and Montana. So far, no word yet on when that will happen. However, I can at least say that I think late September to early October could be promising for the California trip. We'll see.

Okay, that's all the time we have for today folks...
