Crazy life
Things have been happening crazy fast round here the last few weeks and I've hardly had time to catch my breath and think about them.

Anyway on the house front, we finally made exchange on our new house at the beginning of last week, so we now have a few more weeks and the house will officially be ours. Hooray! As for our current house we have had a couple of offers made on it and we are waiting to see what will happen next. People seem to be very keen on our house, mostly because there is almost nothing for sale under $300k. Also we have a beautiful backyard.

On top of all of that we cooked for May Crown on Saturday night. 150 hungry people sitting down for dinner but it all went fabulously well. Food went out hot and on time and the feedback was that it tasted really good. Very happy about all of that.

Then if that wasn't enough I had my very first interview for a real job yesterday. I hope it went well, I answered all the questions, including all the technical ones about screening mutant mice and determining the mutated gene etc etc and now it is a case of wait and see. I would like that job because I think it would be (1) interesting and (2) a foot in the door to do even more interesting work in that area. However, even if I don't get the job I have at least I have now had an interview and will be more prepared for the next one. Practice makes perfect.

Now I just want to sit somewhere quiet for a little while and put my head back together. Oh and do some work on the stupid thesis. It would be good to have at least three chapters finished before starting a real job, four if a miracle occurs and I can actually get myself to write something :/
