Today I had one of those days that just flies by. I carpooled, which meant I had to leave work relatively early. When we left it felt like I had just gotten there. I think the main reason is that I was analyzing THE FINAL DATA FOR MY DISSERTATION! Hooray!
Remember that stupid instrument I can't manage to run on my own? Well, the brand-new technician ran my samples for me, on the exceptional (and much-appreciated) order of Advisor. It was suspenseful because this instrument fucks ups on a regular basis, and since the tech is new, she doesn't necessarily have the experience to notice issues before they become problems. Anyway, she sent the last of the data today and everything is fine. Woot!
After a good day at work, we got home early enough to go for a brisk walk. The weather was much better than it has been lately, so it was nice to get some air and some exercise. I dropped off a pile of sweaters at the new, inexpensive green dry cleaners on the way -- a timely errand to get out of the way. Now we have laundry on and EGM is making chicken korma with chicken he started marinating last night. I'm drinking wine, watching Dancing with the Stars, and blogging while he cooks. Nice.
I hope the rest of the week continues to be good.

Awesome. Congrats on the final data! I hope the rest of it goes as quickly and smoothly!
Yay for getting your samples run!! Also, this day sounds like a dream. If I had read this post in a timely manner, I would have been really jealous. Now, I'm just a little jealous. :)
It was indeed a good day. The momentum has quite lasted, but things haven't gone down-hill either.
