My last relaxation of the day, reading the forums. In less than an hour I will be defending my dissertation proposal. Once that's approved I'll be able to submit to the IRB and start finding my "subjects."

Subjects? All Hail Queen Alli I!
 
We had an all hands meeting at work to talk about how we’re going to handle things now that even state mask mandates are dropping. A number of our clientele are very, how shall I say this…reality-challenged. They haven’t had access to our offices since this whole thing began. Having to get up close and personal with them after a year is going to be interesting.

not a great loss from what I have heard about the,. never had one not worth the suffering I would get from eating one. wife says these bunt cake muffins are so moist and good.
 
Went to the Apple Store at Tysons which is now allowing potential walk-ins to make an appointment on the spot and then go in, escorted by staff, to make purchases, and after trading in my iPhone XS came home with a shiny new iPhone 12 Pro in Graphite ( which matches my Space Grey Macs at home and my lovely car that I bought back in October!). Got everything all set up at home (bought the unlocked version since I have another iPhone at home and eventually will need to swap out SIM cards the next time I buy a new iPhone), and then belatedly realized that rather than having the sales associate putting the SIM card from the XS into the new phone I should've gone downstairs in the mall to the AT&T store and gotten a 5G SIM card. No harm done; the new phone works fine for the time being, which is what matters, and in another day or so I'll pop over to the nearest AT&T store and take care of that little detail.
 
Nailed the defense! My chair called me within 5 minutes of finishing to tell me I had passed. Now to start the paperwork of submitting to IRB. The sooner I can get approval, the sooner I can start recruiting my subjects.

Went out for a huge celebratory meal. I gave the sausage link to my husband, but I finished everything else on that platter other than one piece of corn.

Fantastic news and warmest congrats!

Very well done; am delighted to read this, and you should be very proud of yourself.
 
New bicycle finally showed up, so I'm picking it up today from the shop. But, first have to finish up grant application for team review before we send it on—gotta get somebody to pay for another reporting trip.

Also, made horchata at home using an old recipe and it turned out pretty good, but I think I need a better strainer because it was still a touch gritty. Also, I managed to break my tortilla press with my stupid gorilla arms, so I've got a reason to bother my buddy at the restaurant supply place.

I might come home with a horchata fountain, instead.

And what exactly, pray tell, is horchata?
