I was lazy today!! I sat in the laboratory absentmindedly looking at the same petri dish for nearly two hours. Albeit, microscopic spores are hard to find when they are not plentiful, but it should have been done in twenty minutes rather than one hundred and twenty.
I have always found it weird that the climax of the day often happens when i am describing the rest of my day. On days like this, when at best i could describe how i guiltily glommed (actually a word, "glom") caramelo y pasta de guyaba into myself at coffee break today, only to escape a few seconds earlier for shame that my need for more caramel overrode my want for company. Despite my lack of trust, the day flew by with neither joy or any particular pain, though a small climax occurred after a rogue bit of energy overtook me as i returned from the grass outside the office. The "grass" is really just an ant infested zone between two quince trees that are badly infected with a totally awesome fungus that grows out of the fruit in numerous, bright-orange spires that remind me of the movie alien. It is beaten down permanently because nearly every day at work i sit there to stretch and read spanish, looking, with all my effort, to appear an outsider. Anyways, i came inside feeling slightly light-headed and, which time, i did sing snatches of old tunes while i taught gussie (possibly the most cheerful person in our laboratory, save Chris Smart, the professor, who has the most interesting habit of crossing her eyes as a signal of empathizing exasperation, and who Carly wants to call "cute"... she really is adorable) how to twirl as done in a contra dance.
Finally i got home, thoroughly disappointed that i never caught my stride while stringing tomatoes with Carly, usually one of the better parts of my day. It was really the first time that my fear of having nothing to say actually left me with nothing to say and i felt so completely foolish.
