Super Week

Three runs and one strength training work out this week.  Didn't get legs in this week, but you know what, I run so that should count for something strength training wise.  I am super excited to see daylight later into the evening for our runs.  Something about having light just makes me run a little lighter and faster.  Although it does also mean the return of humidity very, very soon.  Yuck.  This is going to be short because I have lots to do today including welcoming part of our racing family to work on Andrew's car!

I did have my yearly review with my boss this week.  I was dreading it, not because I did anything wrong or haven't worked my butt off all year, but because I hate hearing the things I need to work on.  I know my weaknesses already but hearing them from others just hits differently.   Learning how to be critiqued is part of science or any job for that matter so I guess I need to work on that (add it to my list LOL), but also, I put more pressure on myself than anyone else can.  There were no surprises other than we are going back to if this is your area, stay in your lane and do your best.  It seriously changes each year and that's fine.  I love staying in my lane!  My specialty is diet and calf milk replacer as related to how if effects our products and plating, and I enjoy that even though I can do whatever needs to be done in the lab including PCR and the in vitro system.  I'm a team player but (and I feel like I've written but way too many times) I do like to do what is comfortable to me.  Here is to hopefully another year of a job as I don't know how much longer they will have an RD department once they decide they are comfortable with their line up of products or the sell the company.  

The Soares and Wood's family came to town Superbowl Sunday to get the car put together.  They mostly got it done with maybe one more days' worth of work to do.  The boys Jaxen and Hank worked hard to get all of Tony's quarter midget stuff together to categorize and sell.  It's the end of an era and I am so sad to see it end.  It's also really weird to not hear anything from anyone about buying any of our stuff, but I have my theories on that that I shall keep to myself at this point.  This is around about the time last year we tried to get Andrew stuffed back in his cars and realized it wasn't going to happen so I am hoping people will be calling soon.  

Superbowl Sunday was spent with one of my most favorite people in the world Brandy, while the boys worked on the car.    We had the town all to ourselves since I guess everyone was at parties.  We had coffee and soup, did some shopping, and spent time at the brewery.  It was like 70 degrees outside, so we sat on the patio and had a few tasty beers.  I did watch the first half of the Superbowl, mainly for the commercials and the Bad Bunny concert as I am a Chief's fan and have no interest in either of the teams playing.  I had recently become a fan of Bad Bunny after I was curious about his music post grammy's.  I was instantly hooked upon delving into his albums, and I will say I absolutely loved the half time show and how they presented it.  Music doesn't need a language as it's music and it flows and moves and covers you up in sound and beats.  Andrew and I danced out butts off and thought that the way they moved through the scenery was amazing! Plus, Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin singing was just icing on the cake.   I would definitely go to a Bad Bunny concert in a heartbeat because the music just fills my soul and makes me want to move!  Congrats to the winner and the fact that the QB was a red head.  Go GINGERS!

Have a great week y'all!
