26 October, 1998

Today was a lab day. As I have said previously I am glad for

lab days. We did so much yesterday that I have been worn out all day today. I even slept in today. I have all of my ion test run and extracted the needed blood from my fish so I really do not have anything pressing to do. I am going to call it a day early tonight. It is almost 9 pm and I am just going to relax for the rest of the night. There really is nothing much to write about. One of our team members is leaving and that has made everybody a little melancholy. I leave next week and Dr. Petzel leaves the following week so the research is coming to a close. It has been a whirlwind time here. Time passes by so quickly here. I guess we are all so busy that we lose track of time. Well I wish I had more to tell you but I do not so I will close for the night.
