I like infectious diseases, crafts, and food. Probably in that order. Jersey girl, NOLA expat, now a Portlander.

Got to visit the state public health lab today. It was everything I hoped it would be! I met the genetic sequencing machines that processed all the COVID samples, learned about antibiotic resistance testing, and saw the cool net machine they use for enteric pathogen testing. 🤓

It was all good fun until the Feds charged at the band and tackled and arrested the clarinet player. 😞

Received an e-mail from the feds that we “may” be able to draw down our awards during the shut down. Thanks? I’d ask my project officers for help interpreting that, but I can’t because they’ve all been sent home.

I hope they are e-bikes because those Seattle hills are serious!
My bf and I rented bikes the last time we were in Seattle, but that was to ride along the Alki Beach path in West Seattle; no hills were involved.

Oh! Look at all that perfect, non-rainy fall weather you’re going to have!
danielepea.bsky.social
I can tell that fall is here because I am back on my afternoon dirty chai bullshit. ☕️

Even worse! The biking infrastructure is so good here, I can ride safely from my neighborhood to downtown. 😱🚴🏻‍♀️

We also rode our bikes downtown today and Friday. So terrible.

Thought I should update y’all on the war zone here in Portland. On Friday night my bf and I had drinks downtown with my cousin and his wife. Yesterday, we had lunch with friends and then ran errands. Today, we had a drink at a fancy bar and are catching a comedy show. Such a hell hole. 😑

Happy birthday! (It’s still your birthday here on the West Coast.)

OMG! The shipping would just as much as the dino!

Oh man, look at those crust bubbles! 🤤

I forgot my water bottle at home today and kind of just want to cancel the entire workday now. Can I take a sick day to avoid having to drink out of a random cup I found in the break room?

Found the most amazingly ripe and juicy tomatoes at the farm stand down the street today. They were perfect on tomato sandwiches for dinner.

Boo! Hope both of you ladies feel better soon!

Bf praised my list-making skills, and I don’t know if I’ve ever felt more loved and appreciated. ☺️

Oh no! Glad to hear it’s mild!

Rain jacket for sure! And layers. It’s all about the layers in the PNW.

It’s weird to be marking this anniversary so far away from New Orleans. In some ways, it’s helpful that everyone around me is treating it like any other day. Helps keep me distracted. On the other hand, it’s hard to be around a bunch of people who don’t get it.

I used to work with one of the doctors that trained him in his specialty. She had the most withering over-the-top-of-the-glasses death stare. I hope it’s all he sees any time he closes his eyes for the rest of eternity.

Ack! That’s so unacceptable!

Oh no! That sucks. I’m sorry. Hopefully they realize their error and switch back next year. (It happened once before when I worked there!)
