[June 2023]

I couldn’t come up with a punny title for June, so we’re just going to jump straight into the post. Here’s how I spent the month:

Thursday, June 1: A normal day at work, spent running a chromatography column, eating a peanut butter and jam sandwich, and attending group meeting.

Friday, June 2: Pizza day at work, then made a batch of chocolate pudding at home.

Saturday, June 3: Started a 3000-piece Marvel superhero puzzle, the biggest puzzle I’ve attempted.

Sunday, June 4: Went to the mall and got the mango chicken special for lunch.

Monday, June 5: Started the week with a 10-hour shift waiting for our protein to elute from the column.

Tuesday, June 6: Slightly less long day at work, featuring a “can’t be bothered to pack lunch” lunch of yogurt and chips.

Wednesday, June 7: Finished work on one project at work just in time to start on another project; Marvel superhero puzzle assembly continued.

Thursday, June 8: Finally got a new phone even though my apps still supported my version of Android because my old phone’s 2 GB of memory were really starting to struggle.

Friday, June 9: Snuck out of work a little early after completing preparations for the upcoming week.

Saturday, June 10: Made it through A Storm of Swords, stopped by the library book sale, and watched Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (would recommend).

Sunday, June 11: Played pickleball and made my watch think I was having an hour-long heart attack.

Monday, June 12: Laundry day, started a new season of Heartland, and finished the superhero puzzle.

Tuesday, June 13: Second 10-hour shift in a row to start the week (should’ve stuck with computational work – you can’t alt-F4 a chromatography column).

Wednesday, June 14: Spent the entire day testing the endotoxin level of samples.

Thursday, June 15: Data analysis and documentation day. Also ate half a grapefruit.

Friday, June 16: More endotoxin testing, buffer preparation, and back to back Friday afternoon meetings.

Saturday, June 17: Rearranged the furniture in my room to add another bookcase.

Sunday, June 18: Bagels for lunch, pickleball in the afternoon, pesto linguini for dinner, and cookies and cream (Oreo) cupcakes for dessert.

Monday, June 19: Began inventory of the lab stockroom and chemicals to fulfill the first of the 6 S’s.

Tuesday, June 20: Continued inventorying and helped stop a chemical reaction/load a column.

Wednesday, June 21: With no more inventory to take, attended a meeting about inventory.

Thursday, June 22: Saw a northern mockingbird and its mostly grown baby on my daily walk.

Friday, June 23: Tomatoes reached the second ring of their cages.

Saturday, June 24: Went for a quick hike at the town forest and watched the Revolution take on Toronto, earning a 2-1 victory.

Sunday, June 25: Rewatched Pitch Perfect because acapella.

Monday, June 26: Met some squirrels and rabbits on my walk.

Tuesday, June 27: Summarized a year’s worth of data for one of our projects at work, as per a request from my manager.

Wednesday, June 28: Next item on the organizational agenda: freezer cleanout; plus, started season 19 of Grey’s Anatomy.

Thursday, June 29: Had a red banana with my peanut butter and jam sandwich at lunch.

Friday, June 30: Rearranged the contents of two stockrooms because why not?
