I thought Mondays were supposed to be depressing

Maybe it's because I'm tired. But this has been a crazy week, and I have a dark cloud overhead.

First I have tried to setup experiments this week. Mold hasn't been an issue - it's getting enough proper material to setup an experiment. By the time I realize there's not enough material, I've already invested three hours of work into it. That's happened twice this week, so I'm not too optimistic about today's potential.

Then one of my collaborators sent me some data. But the graphs legends are not readable. So I'm having to go through each individual one and fix them. Plus, in one experiment the legend is wrong (so I can't interpert anything), and I can't relate it to my data because she didn't include the dish number (just the treatment - which would be fine except these were done in duplicate).

My mom came down with the flu this week. So my folks probably won't be coming to visit this weekend (but she still hadn't officially called it off yet).

Grey and White cat has been keeping me up with his howling at night. Before I go to bed, I've also been hearing him. Of course, three howls and he's gone. It's 2:30AM when he parks by my bedroom window and howls for half an hour.

Then to top things off, I didn't get to talk to my boyfriend yesterday. Plus, I didn't get an email that explained his absence. (Truth be told, I think that's the biggest reason why I'm in such a pissed off mood...)

Ah well, it can only get worse. Then I have the weekend to chill.
