I caught up on sleep last night. I think I got a solid 8 hours for the first time in a few days. Took it a little easier this morning and got into work around 10am. I did get some work done today, but it was nice having the lab kinda quiet today. Half the lab is out of town at a conference in Boston, while I wish I could have been there, I'm kinda glad that I'm not and instead just taking it easy this week.

In the afternoon I went out to run a few errands and then went home to prep some food. I'm grilling steaks for my small group tomorrow night, so I wanted to make sure all the other food was good. I wasn't exactly sure what to use for marinade, so I went out and got some Stubb's marinade. In the past I've just grilled the steak straight up with no pre-grill prep, but I wanted to try something new this time. The marinade smells good, so hopefully it'll give the meat some good flavor, and also soften it up a little more. It's sitting in the fridge right now. I plan on bringing it out of the fridge about 90 minutes before grill time, then plopping it on the pre-heated grill.

After dinner, I went out for a run and then came home and went to Tapioca House with my sister. Now I'm back home, but I'm gonna need to get up at 4am tomorrow morning. My family is going to NY state for a few days and their flight is at 6am tomorrow. Yikes.

So yeah, today was a better day, and this week is turning out to be better altogether. Part of it is just being around people. That helps a lot.
