Goodness

I've been busy the past two days, which is just what I need right now. Last night I attended a session on prion diseases. Prion disease is a disease called by protein misfolds in the brain and encompasses mad cow disease, scrapie in sheep, chronic wasting in deer and elk, and Creutzfeldt-Jakob in humans. I found the session quite interesting, but after 2 hours of discussing brain proteins and research methods, my head hurt.

Today has been good. I spent the morning writing those stories, then got taken out for lunch by my friend Karen aka Stretch. She was one of the women who was on my trip to the Philippines, and she and her partner Barry were in town for her niece's graduation. Anyway, it was nice to catch up and see a friend.

Tomorrow I have my first marathon. I'm already registered and have picked up my race chip and race package! It's all very exciting. Tomorrow I will be getting up at 6 a.m. to make sure that I am ready for the 8 a.m. start. After this, I think I will spend the rest of my day watching movies and doing laundry. I'm pretty excited for my first race though.
