I'm just hoping there isn't some kind of cosmic punchline

Wanna know something hilarious? I probably have whooping cough! Yep, the one that makes you think of little kids in the 1800s. WHOOPING COUGH! It's bacterial but they can't do anything. The doctor (who was lovely and sweet) prescribed a cough suppressant that I had already bought over the counter for myself and doesn't work very well. So basically the doctor's visit was a waste (I had to pay full price since my insurance is BULLSHIT) except for confirming what I already suspected, thanks to bexone.

Awesome.

On top of that, I got not one, but TWO parking tickets today. Let's not talk about it.

On the other hand, things in the lab are for once the best part of my day. I got a beautiful snowy white product in 90% yield today (that's very good) and it made me quite happy. Finally things are going right!

The other good thing that happened today was that my 102 Dublin prints arrived. They're so PRETTY you guys. I want to roll around in them forever. I can't wait to put them up on my wall!

So uh, way to go karma for giving me freaking whiplash. Ugh.

(Seriously, WHOOPING COUGH.)

Oh, whooping cough. That went around the camp I worked at. It was actually kinda funny, since half the camp would be sick and you could tell which counselors were hooking up by who was getting it next. We called it "the whoop." Good times, weirdly.

(er, sorry to be going all nostalgic over your illness *facepalm*)
