ten days meme (day 6)

Day Six: Five people who mean a lot (in no order whatsoever)

Offline people only! There are more than five of you guys reading this.

1. Yearmate M, who dresses like Mr. Rogers and has somehow been my favorite from the minute we met, even before I knew about the "earnestly sings really cheesy stuff on Rock Band" trait.

2. My PI, who can be very difficult to deal with but pushes me to get better and better all the time, while occasionally surprising me with silly and sweet moments.

3. Yearmate C, who is fantastically cynical and funny while modeling very good boundary-setting behavior, and who stays in contact with a scary family of origin while making better alliances for the future.

4. Grad friend M, who is smart, organized, supportive, and sweet with everyone.

5. Former undergrad H, who gave a detailed yet vernacular presentation at the undergrad research symposium and is definitely going to do great at a first big conference this summer.

Day One: Ten things you want to say to ten different people right now.
Day Two: Nine things about yourself.
Day Three: Eight ways to win your heart.
Day Four: Seven things that cross your mind a lot.
Day Five: Six things you wish you’d never done.
Day Seven: Four turn-offs.
Day Eight: Three turn-ons.
Day Nine: Two images that describe your life right now, and why.
Day Ten: One confession.

headaches are being reasonable

I actually reduced the Petadolex to 100mg about three days ago, because I was having a nasty, broken-bone-feeling headache all the time with bonus nausea. Strangely, I also got very strong hunger responses. Things aren't perfect now, but they got better immediately, and the current state feels like it might settle into being okay.
