Perhaps the fact that I worked through the weekend before my birthday is evidence that I am truly a grown-up. The past week has been probably the roughest at work, as I spent the weekend fixing errors, and discovering that this job is more difficult than I initially realized. But, I did in fact fix things, and I think I will continue to slowly get the hang of things. However, I am very glad to have the week off. I'm not sure if it will exactly be a restful vacation, as I will be meeting about 30 of Isaac's relatives the day after tomorrow. My family is relatively small, and borderline anti-social. The largest thanksgiving dinner I've ever been to in my life was only 10 people, including me. So this will be a new experience for me.
It has been a pretty good, low key birthday. We went out to dinner to a Japanese restaurant, and went to barnes & noble afterwards. I had almost forgotten how much I love books. Although, I suppose I am currently reading three books. I've been reading A Canticle for Leibowitz for a while, but have found it difficult to get into. It has more than one plot line, and after the first plot line ended, it kind of lost my interest. But, Isaac says it's very good, and I have yet to read a book he liked that I didn't, so I will get through it eventually. I also started reading "The Secret History of the War on Cancer" almost a year ago. It is well written and captivating, but infuriating and quite long. I have a signed copy, as I actually saw Devra Davis give a presentation about her book at CMU. I found it quite inspiring, and ever since the topic of environmental health has become a bit of a hobby, and may become a career someday.
