Power back!

Got power back this evening. At just an hour shy of 4 days, that was the third longest power outage we've had over the years here.

Perry, bless his heart, took the gravy base from our fridge and brought it to the boathouse so it should be fine. My turkey is trash. Most of the food in the freezer outside is ok, though we'll eat it soon, it didn't fully defrost (and some areas didn't defrost at all).

I have to read up on what to do with condiments etc. And with my cranberry sauce. It's basically jam so I'm feeling like it should be fine? But I don't know. So.

PSE's response has continued to be less than stellar. The linefolk are busting their asses, management is pathetic.

The hardest bit of training

Today was our last long training walk for the half marathon next Sunday: 12 miles. Which we did on the trail. It was long.

My heels continue to hurt, sigh. Aside from that, I feel pretty ok during the walk and just need a brief rest to feel ok again.

Dh hurt his foot today, no idea why, hopefully nothing serious, just a freaking looooooong walk.

Weather was good.

I ate waaaay too many gummi bears and Swedish fish, LOL.

Plan for the week is 3 milers on Tuesday and early Thursday (or maybe we'll find a Turkey trot!) and then the half on Sunday.

I might have gotten it

I don't have access to the program to check if I got it, and I don't remember the exact sequence of amino acids I was trying to delete, but one of my results from DNA sequencing is 18 nucleotides shorter than the others, and that corresponds to 6 amino acids.

The sequence was K-T-X-X-X-W, but I don't remember what the X-X-X were, LOL.

So I have to wait until Monday to find out if my week's worth of work actually paid off.

ETA Whee! It did in fact work. Dh and I went into Seattle to Julefest at the National Nordic Museum, and since we changed buses right in front of my work, we ended up going in on the way back and I checked the results to confirm the deletion and started the overnight culture. This should have been a matter of a few minutes but 1) we stopped at the hospy cafeteria first to get dh some food and 2) I wanted to show him my cells and when I looked at them, they were unexpectedly out of room, grr. So I had to passage them and the whole stop at work for 15 minutes ended up more like a stop at work for an hour and a bit. But having done that, hopefully I can take off early on Wednesday.
