First week back at work

After a week of being out of work due to a rather painful bladder infection (adding to that frequent bouts of nausea and headaches as a result of a generic version of Macrobid, which is an antibiotic created specifically to treat infections such as the one I had, and unfortunately also gives the rather BLECH side effects that I had)...now I am back in the lab, and the experiment that I was assisting in (I am a research assistant after all) is now completed :)

I feel good. ^.^

And also, I have been taking the bus to work/school and back, and have found it a rather interesting experience.  The majority of the people on the bus AREN'T actually crazy, despite popular belief.  It is just the select few creepy men and women on the bus that give public transportation the bad rep it has. 

Though I won't lie...it's true that the crazier ones can be found on the late buses. >.>

Anyways, as I walked from bus to work to bus to home this day, I had constantly on my person the collection of Celtic myths I said a teensy bit about in a previous post.  I think I may have gone through four or five myths today, each at least 10 to 13 pages in length (the longest was perhaps...twenty pages?)  ....and I must admit, the Celtic mythologies are grown on me.  I see in myself a patter however.  It is not enough for me to read and study myths of each separate pantheon, but rather to study them and the histories and cultures behind each religion.  For example, this Celtic Mythology book I am currently fixated on  speaks briefly of connections between Celtic Myth and Hinduism!

And a new door into the past opened to me, that of Indo-european cultures!  It fascinates me and makes me think on how I came to see this passion within me in the first place.  So many philosophical ideas now swarming around in my head like angered fireflies, each alight with their own small, fantastic glow!  And to come together so neatly into one curious passion...is just...astounding.

And I owe it all to my hunger dragging me to Coffee Bean late this morning! *giggles*
