Not much to...oh look a butterfly

I'm just going to dive into today because I have absolutely no good way to start. :-) I got up a little after 6, threw on some clothes and went for a short bike ride. It was wonderful! NO ONE was awake. It was also much cooler this morning, too, which kind of misguided me when I got ready for work. I was off shortly before 8 and at work by 8:45ish. I had quite a bit to do today with two short reactions meaning constant observations and a good amount of analysis. In fact, I was in the middle of a titration when it was time to go for lunch. So I finished and walked over by myself. Longest walk ever. I knew there would be people I knew when I walked in but it was still a little stressful. Lame, I know, but put yourself in my shoes.

Anyway, lunch was pretty good. Limited conversation on carrots (I think because Klas was gone) and Kresten asked where I lived, just to get an idea apparently. I did not have the courage to bring up the canal tour; I don't know why but I didn't. We headed back and I kept on with the observations and analysis. Eventually had a chat with Esben and asked him if he would want to go on the tour with me. I felt more comfortable asking him because we'd talked about it before. I still don't have a phone, though, which complicates things a little since I have no idea when I'd want to go and I don't see them outside of work. So if you'd pray for courage about that I'd appreciate it.

I left work around 445 and got home sometime before 6 and took another bike ride down to the grocery store. I spent a bit of money because I bought an overabundance of meat. I really need more variety so I bought a variety. Made dinner and just chilled. I'm sure I'm forgetting lots of little stories but I can't think right now. I also need to get to bed. Tomorrow will be a big work day (lots needs to be done) and I want to bike in the morning again.

I do have some prayer requests. I found out that shortly after getting back to the States I will be getting my wisdom teeth pulled. So pray that everything up to that point would go well because I think I'm already having some discomfort from one of the teeth. Also, please keep praying for the health of my coworkers: they aren't all well yet. Pray for courage, patience and a desire to keep learning and trying new things (that desire hasn't slacked at all but it's still good to pray for it!). Oh, I'm sure there is so much more I have to tell but I really can't think of it right now, I think I'm distracted with going to sleep.

Have a great night/day!
