Back in the Grind

Coming back from Florida I was instantly thrown back into the world of numerical modeling. All week I scrambled to submit my diagnostics for the SAM model so they could be ready for the super simulation we are doing soon. But hopefully all is well with that. Yay for Fortran!

But the week provided some ridiculousness as usual. The surprise twist of the week is that I adopted another cat. Yes, I have two cats now and that officially puts me in lesbian status. I'm fine with that. I'm not fine with getting a third cat though because that would put me in old maid status. Not cool. Her name is Pandora and I got her from Jen and Brian. Right now she is still getting used to things, but she has warmed up to me. Her and Nico are still a little eh with each other. There have been a couple cat fights but overall they are coexisting in the same space. Should be interesting.

Saturday I helped Trevan move his massive Sea World size fish tank from Provo to SLC. My Element officially smells like an aquarium. After that I did a short hike in the foothills then met a big group of people at Bombay House. It was SO fucking good! Sunday (today) I went up Grandeur Peak with Sebastian and Sameera. As always, hiking with those two is ridiculous with lots of laughs. Even though Grandeur Peak is a foothill, it's not an easy hike (at least the route we did... the standard route from Millcreek Canyon is quite easy), as it gains 3,300 ft in just 1.5 miles. Yes, my friend, that is freaking steep! My legs are feeling it and I'm happy about that. It's a great hike to do to get in shape for the bigger and better peaks.

Pete, why haven't I been reading your blog? I've been missing all the juicy details of your life.

I had three cats for about 4 months - so I guess that makes me an old maid. I thought it just made me crazy!!!
