Seems to be a kinda blah day. Woke up around 2:30, toasted some waffles and called my parents and little sister. Everyone at home is doing well: Kat's having fun in HS though some classes are difficult, the band's performing better every game, Dad went down to La Grange last weekend for dove season, Mom's waging the everlasting war against clutter in a house full of pack rats.

Checked my in situs in lab - no fantastic results, really. Looks like I'll need to up the probe concentration in the next batch, but I'm getting there. Should have decent results in the next couple weeks.

On another note - where is everyone? hm... Rebecca's at a volleyball banquet... Andrea's message says v.h.m ... some friends are out to dinner, maybe a movie... others have been idle for hours and leave no trace as to their whereabouts.
-sigh- Yeah, having most of my friends out of town has caught up with me. It's really nice to have my solitude, but sometimes it does get lonely. Especially when I want company for dinner, or just to sit around and talk - there's something comforting about being in another person's company, that makes life more bearable. Though a book can be excellent company, and a movie will do decently in a pinch, it's not quite what I was hoping for tonight. -shrugs- But I guess it'll have to do. Hope the rest of you are having fun, whatever you're doing, and see you later.

Later Update: Thanks a million for going to Pres Thai with me, Andrea - being around another person really really helps sometimes. Good luck taking out the last of Hellride.
