I'm still alive! But I feel very OOOOK, and the throat, it is not pleased. Thank you all for your kind words.
To Anonymous who is choosing a lab: my batch of lab-choosing advice won't start going up until next week, but if you email me, I'm happy to offer a preview.
Also, due to general overwhelm-ment and the fact that I must de-crumbify my entire house by April 2nd- oh, and the fact that as of April 1, I am one of two editors-in-chief of the journal about which I snark regularly- I'm going to MWF publishing. With possibilities of occasional photos on T/Th. Sorry, but duty calls.
Love, kisses, and one last week of bready goodness,
Jenny
