This was a doozy of a week. I’m applying for an NSF grant to fund my dissertation research on dairy cows in the Northwest and the proposal is due this coming Tuesday. I did a near complete rewrite on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. I still have more work to do, but it’s getting closer to being ready. Plus, Friday was hellish (see below). The week in review:
Monday September 19th: The Brock Review published a special issue called Animals in Human Societies and I wrote one of the articles for it. This was my first journal publication and I was really excited!
Tuesday September 20th: Tuesday was a review of the Homegrown Smoker Vegan BBQ in Portland OR. This was a tasty lunch and a nice detour on the way to my grandmother’s house.
Wednesday September 21st: Good news from West Hollywood–they’ve banned the sale of fur in city limits. A small victory, but worth celebrating nonetheless!
Thursday September 22nd: Banana soft serve! Just bananas in the freezer blended up into awesome deliciousness.
Friday September 23rd: No post today. Instead, I woke up to one of our little finches had died in her sleep. We had a major plumbing problem in the shower that caused water damage throughout our house. I spent the day with the plumbers and water damage people and on the phone with the home owners insurance. This was a rough day, so my apologies for no post.
Happy Sunday! Tomorrow, a recipe for end-of-summer pasta.
