Hurt Finger

I came back yesterday morning from a weekend in the Bay Area. It was my parents' 30th anniversary, plus Aba's, boyfriend K's, and brother M's birthdays are all this week/this coming weekend. So, we had a lot of celebrating. Sister D even flew in from Singapore. Had a great time.

I knew there were supposed to be showers in Boston/Cambridge when I got back yesterday morning, but I didn't want to pack rain boots just for the walk back from the T to my apartment. Well, turns out it was snowing instead, and by the time I got back to my apt, my feet were totally soaked from the slushy snow.

Anyway... I've been having some bad luck with the less-than-nice furniture in my apartment. Yesterday, I scraped my knuckle on the non-sanded edge of my shelves and took out a chunk of skin. Today, I slammed my finger in the drawers because I pushed too hard to get one of them unstuck. As long as I just develop a bruise and the nail doesn't fall off, that's fine.

Not much new other than that. I'm working away; March is a really busy month for me. I recently accepted an invitation to speak at a proposed symposium at a Memory Disorders conference in September in Chapel Hill, so we'll see if the symposium gets approved (apparently members of the society vote on which of the proposed symposia they want).

I'm heading out to a Purim celebration in ~45 min. Steve Pinker is going to speak -- that'll be interesting :)
