Shelves!
At long last I have obtained shelves for The Closet. IKEA delivered them this morning; less than four hours later I had them all assembled. Well, all but one last shelf. All of the others came with four little pegs upon which they rest wrapped in plastic and taped into a grove in the shelf. That one did not. I'm told that IKEA will probably replace the missing pegs, but I'm not looking forward to the several hours it will take to get public transit back out there, just to pick up one small handful of pegs. I may well check the local hardware store and see if they have something about the right size--if it costs less than the cost of public transit to IKEA it will be worth it to just buy them here. Heck, if they've got something close but a little bit too big, I could take it to the lab and use the lathe to make it the correct size...
I am much happier now that I've got the space available to organize my books and stuff when it arrives. Two more weeks! I can't wait. Why it takes so long to get here via truck from the UK, I don't know, but I am so looking forward to having stuff again! Kitchen toys! Garb! amrour, books! fabric! blankets and pillows and towels! games! Have I mentioned that it is only two more weeks?
My second experiment is running. I should have spent time this weekend getting the third one ready to go, but I didn't, and while they day is young, I'm tired, which is not the best time to weld tiny gold capsules, so I'll have to do it tomorrow morning. Afternoon won't work, I've got Italian class then... However, tomorrow morning I also need to polish the first experiment, as the epoxy we put it into will have cured by then, and once that happens we can take it to the microprobe and see the results.
