I just finished my morning run…another solid morning of miles. It was a chilly morning, which is odd since today is supposed to be over 30 degrees Celcius (around 90 Farenheit for the American friends out there). The run stared good, felt awesome as my shoes were pounding the trail. However, about 2 kilometers in a strange thing happened. I noticed a horrendous burning sensation happening on my ears and arms. I brushed it off as a physcological excuse to go back home. So I puttered on for another kilometer, but it just kept getting worse. I gave in and finally stopped to investigate the situation. Turns out I had this spreading rash/hive situation happening on my arms. Dear god that freaked me out and took me back to my unfortuante medical reaction a few years ago. It scared me so much I relented and headed fro home. Thankfully, after a total of 5 km, the rash was beginning to subside. Well, there was no excuse now, so I hit the trails for another round of miles before finally retiring to the shower.
Today I head to the local music store to get my newly acquired guitar re-strung. I am hoping the kind resident musician at the music store will allow me to watch as he puts these new stringd on for me. I am excited for the strings which will allow me to continue my progress to becoming the world’s next best guitarist. My repetroire now includes Yankee Doodle, When the Saints Go Marching In, and Ode to Joy…and its still growing.
Also my newest toy arrives in two days. That’s right folks, the new plam pre shall be mine and I shall love it. I will await the arrival of that wonderful package for the next two days. Anyways, I am off to do some western blots and take care of some LB media that I had to make today. It is currently in the autoclave which is a gigantic machine that looks like a torture tool from the midevil times. I will get the undergrad to take it out…I avoid that thing any chance I get.
