Log:
A package from home really made my day today! Cookies from the infamous Grandma J. Everyone was so excited! I’m pretty sure I have one of the best families. I spent my morning catching up on e-mails. We finally got to move the worm bins out of the bamboo shed this afternoon! Lots of good work going on at CCAT, as always. I went to a campus space committee meeting today. The process state universities must use to choose contractors continues to baffle me. So much so that when I got home from the meeting at 5:00 pm, I had to take a nap. I did wake up just in time for an amazing sunset over hazy Arcata. Finally awake, I went for a short jog, picked some plums, and tried my hand at making granola again. The first batch was a bit dry but I think it will work fine with the next batch which was chewy. All in all, it was a slow Monday.

Questions:
-Age. What do you think about it?
-I have poison oak on my feet, what’s the best way to treat it?
-How can I learn to better accept constructive criticism?

Feelings:
I’m excited about my nearing birthday and contemplating leaving my teens entirely. I really don’t feel old enough to almost be 20. I don’t think age is really something that you feel anyway.
