Life has, not so helpfully, pointed out that it isn't sensible to first cross that many time zones, and then spend the next week both staying up late at night, and getting up in the morning anyway. This time the resultant mistake cost me two weeks of progress, and there will be less data than I would have liked to include in the abstract I'll be submitting for another confrence later this week. Sigh. It isn't tragic (and if this is the worst life throws at me this year, I'll have no complaints), but it is annoying. Note to self: *think* when doing irreversible tasks. You know better than that.

Tonight: dance practice, followed by enough sleep to have a brain tomorrow.
Tomorrow: wake up, refreshed, after getting enough sleep. Weld more powder into tiny gold capsules for the next experiment. (I had planned to do that today, but I wound up staying up too late last night, and it turns out not to have been a good thing in terms of brain function today.)
