We made 60 sugar cookies last night ... well, we almost made 60 cookies. They are currently chilling in the fridge, and still need to be baked in the oven. Besides my brief panic attack that the recipe called for powdered sugar instead of regular sugar like I had thought ... it went well. I'll make another few batches tonight while baking. I did take some pictures - but my camera battery died before I could finish. It's charging now.
Today is John's last day in his first lab rotation, and they're taking him out to some Italian place downtown for lunch. Neither one of us have been there before, so he'll have to scout it out and see if we should go there together sometime. We were talking about the lab and his experiences in the lab. Yes, it was a good lab, and he could work in that lab. But, rules or no, English is not the main language in that lab. Even in the three weeks he was there, he'd come home frustrated because he'd made a mistake because he didn't understand what someone told him. He doesn't need that additional barrier for the next 4-5 years.
He's super excited about his next lab - I think it's diabetes research - and from what he's heard, this lab will work him a lot harder than the first one. On the one hand, this is good; he's been a bit bored lately. On the other, he probably won't be able to get as much studying done during the afternoon, and will have to study more in the evenings.
I've been trying to find a good podcast to listen to while at work. For some reason, I haven't really wanted to listen to music lately. Let me just say ... Itunes is not user friendly at all when it comes to podcasts. It's impossible to peruse or find ratings easily.
Either that, or I'm completely useless when it comes to Itunes.
I'm looking forward to the weekend. Baking makes me happy. Happier than cooking, anyway. It's nice to have something really good as a result of your efforts.
