Over the last few days I have easily harvested at least 20 grey hairs from my head, all about an inch long. This could imply that there has been some recent event that has suddenly my zapped my roots into the platinum realm, or it could simply be regrowth from my previous mass follicular harvest

Sometimes Saturdays define themselves. This was the third day that DrMrNin has had off this past month (it’s been an exceptionally busy one anyway, but nevertheless researchers are almost always overwhelmed with the volumes of work that need to get done so it’s not unusual to work 12 hours a day, six day weeks a week; I’ve done it myself). Sleeping in until noon, then watching college football in the afternoon (and I managed to squeeze in some knitting, squee!). I forsee this being repeated on many occasions, hehe.

For the second time in 15 days, I am moving again. But this time it will be into our first home together and I am *very* excited.

Moving day was originally scheduled for Monday, but just after noon today we found out that we could get access tomorrow instead. So following on the theme of the past two weeks we made a quick decision and siezed the opportunity - two hours later the U-haul truck was booked, three hours later we were collecting it, and not long after that we were filling it up with all the things I had managed to get packed in the afternoon. We thought we’d get a head start so that it’s not so painful tomorrow. Note that I used the term ‘we‘ thereby claiming some credit for the boxes in the truck but actually my job was to guard the truck whilst the boys carried all the boxes down the two flights of stairs. I can’t be expected to haul heavy boxes, I’m a lady

Tomorrow is probably going to be the busiest day of my life in America so far, especially as we’re working to a tight deadline … tomorrow night it’s the NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK CONCERT, squeeeeeeeeeeeee!!

Before I moved out here, I knew that I would have a busy few weeks in store just after I arrived, but I never imagined that they would be *this* full. It feels like we’ve taken so many *big* and *adult* steps in the last two weeks and there’s barely been time to digest what has been happening. All I know is that I’m beginning to feel tired and a bit headachy. Some lounging on the couch was definitely in order.
