So, it's been busy on the MSc front. I'm counting down the number of ELISA kits I have left to run (1 TNF, 1 insulin, 1 total adiponectin, 1 HMW adiponectin... unless we also decide to run IL-1beta which I'm starting to wonder about and then I need to do 2 of those too). All that to say, I am approaching where I will have all my numbers and can start my stats. I'm also driving myself a little batty with my decision to redo my review of literature chapter (it's a long process). My evenings have largely consisted of writing until I'm ready to drop and then curling up in bed with a novel (hence why my 50 books list keeps growing).
I made 2 new squares for my blanket: both in what I was hoping were the right color scheme for the project spectrum fire theme. They may be a little too pink for that but it's what I have and I want to use yarn that I already have for the blanket (though there may be a yarn swap coming up and seeing as a lot of people seem keen to get their "icky acrylic stuff" off their hands, I may be able to score some more bits for the blanket. Have not done much more knitting besides taking the snow beast out to SnB this week for a bit.
Besides that, what with it being winter and all (minus 16 celcius), I've suddenly got little brown ants in my appartment (go figure). At least all my food has already been bug-proofed. I've just had to move Casey's bowl (I sprinkled baby powder around it too, based on something I"d read online - may have helped: her food has been ant-free since I did that) and borax ant traps are my new favorite thing in the whole wide world.
I managed a quick trip to Winterlude last weekend and got some photos of the ice sculptures. I wanted to try photograph them lit up at night but my batteries died before it got dark enough (plus, it was cold...). I've got photos on my little Kodak from the lab snowshoe outing last week but they will have to wait.
