PD:Day 99 - Post Dad Day Blues

So back to work. It has been a while since I threw up a to-do list. Here is what I'm working on at work.

1. Submit Manuscript proposal
2. FAX grant info
3. Run SNP script on LD for LIPC
4. Look for genes around LIPC for possible follow up grant
5. Write Heart Rate Manuscript
6. Chibchan Y- paper - on back burner until all else is finished
   
7. Finish LIPC BQTN
8. Run new LIPC BQTN on ranch

I get the manuscript proposal off and I should here about that by the end of the month. One down a bunch more to do. I go to work on the grant info and compile 145 pages to fax. Wow the things I will do to get something done. This takes most of the morning and afternoon. I also get some info on Heart Rate that I need to include in the manuscript. I work a little on the BQTN, I'm learning my way around the ranch, 3086 processors of genomic goodness (soley dedicated to genetics). So I get that running - so using that will take the analysis from a week to over night, which is super cool. So I get that running over night.

J is having a bit of a difficulty with the kids. I can't imaging chasing four toddlers. So I pick up some treats and even punish myself by stopping by the Redbox and pick up Bride Wars for J and Gran Torino for her. I also heard this great song and the radio and so this is dedicated to my wife for everything she does.



I get home eat, and we start watching a movie but I decide to distract them for a while so I take them upstairs to get clean - they have been playing in the dirt outside. As I'm doing this some solicitor comes by and stays forever trying to sell us a vacuum cleaner. I mean come on, I'm not buying it so why waste your time and ours. During this time we get C and X to sleep, apparently Animal Planet is the nemesis of X. C wakes up and I put her to sleep until we both crash.
