All I want to do it put my head down on my desk and take a nap, but I have to make mobile phase for the 49th time this month. K isn't doing her experiment today, so I don't get to practice the prep one more time before I'm on my own. We're currently desperately trying to find a way to dissolve our drug because turns out it's not working the way I was doing it. So that's what K is going to spend her afternoon doing, instead of her experiment, which I'm incredibly greatful for since I'm supposed to be using said drug tomorrow in MY experiment and I was just going to say "F*** it" and shake it up real good before I applied it to my tissue.
I've weighed out my chemicals for tomorrows experiment, I've fed my cells, and I'm going to make mobile phase. I have absolutely no guilt when I say that I will NOT be reading any papers today because my brain is not capable and me trying to read a paper would be only slightly less effective than sticking the paper under my pillow and attempting to discern it's meaning through dream interpretation the next day.
I want to nap, and I want to go to the gym and then I want to sit and read or write or work through some mindless-beginner-learn-the-interface Maya tutorials.
What I do NOT want to do is force my brain into a shape it's desperately avoiding and attempt to be a scientist.
Gee.
What a refreshing vacation that was.
Hopefully another nights sleep in my own bed will break me out of this fog.
Or more accurately smog, since I just got back from LA.
Happier posts another day, hopefully.
