Yesterday I forgot to bring home my daughter’s milk from work and I also completely forgot to wash and sterilize my pump parts and didn’t realize it until I was already driving to WP this morning. Idk what happened to my brain but if anyone knows where it is I’d gladly pay a finder’s fee.
After some very frustrating delays that were out of my hands, it looks like I will have TWO first author papers submitted this week. I’d much prefer they be staggered but hey at least they’re finally submitted.
My husband has finally booked his flight to and from Denver this August which means my baby is officially joining me for the fall ACS meeting! Gotta find some cute chemistry 9mo clothes now!
I’m going to attempt to make 50 aerogels tomorrow 😬😬😬
Just had to track someone down in the hallway to help me open a reagent bottle. Yes it was embarrassing but I really needed to start this synthesis.
One of the ACS board of directors said in a panel discussion that she tries to do her “scariest thing” of the day first so it’s over with and I’ve been trying to channel that ever since. I’m still not great about doing it but my day always seems better when I do.
It was so much easier to clip my baby’s nails when she was a newborn potato instead of a 4 month old wiggly worm 😅
Finally hit with the 4 month sleep regression. Thankfully it’s spring break so I can get to work a bit later and still snag a parking spot because my normal wake up time of 5:30 was not happening today 😅
