Weirdly contented.

Do you ever have days where you simply feel at ease with life? Without any discernible, evident reasons?

I'm having one such day. :)
Sure, my 'I-want...' list is still quite long, but for now that doesn't matter. What makes it more strange is that I'm feeling blithe while hungry (Haven't had my lunch, been in the lab since 1030am, working almost non-stop. Ah, the story of my life...) and a little tired.

Actually woke up this morning wishing I didn't have to go to work. But when it was time to start my experiment, I started getting a little buzz. :) Tomorrow's the first day of actual dosing. I'm a little excited, and definitely nervous about the results I'd get. This feeling is the reason why I'm in this line of work. I'm crossing my fingers as hard as I can that the data will be significant. But I've been down this road before. Research is filled with disappointments. Sometimes experiments work, sometimes they don't, even if you've done everything properly. I've felt terribly disillusioned before. It helps to have an encouragingly supervisor/boss. My ex-supervisor was really good. He doesn't blame me when our experiments don't turn out as we had expected them to. We go back, look through everything to see if we could find out why and then we try again.

In this new job, I haven't done any proper studies so we shall see what my boss is like at the end of this one eh?

Signed up for a few personal training sessions yesterday. Argh, I don't want to remember how obnoxiously pricey they are. But well, I've not been pushed into it, it's not a rash decision, I've been thinking about it for some time. (I subscribe to the theory that if I think about something a lot, I probably really want it, then I'll do something about it.) Can't fathom why I'd pay so much to be tortured. Hope it's all worth it in the end.

Mmm... I want food... and more days like this...
