Luna is freaking me out. She was looking at the Sigg (aluminum) water bottle I bought her. She
asked where the dents came from and I explained that she had dropped
it. She then immediately said "Does that mean my bottle holds less
drink than Soleil’s because I have more dents?" I asked why she thought that and she said "Because the dents take the space the drink would"
I told her she was right. I don’t think I understood the displacement ideas of liquids until I was at least in 5th grade….
Yesterday, I put 50+ miles on my car while running around to book readings, temple school pickups and drop offs and a meeting with Soleil’s doctor.
I am still struggling with a work problem of what fraction of the Earth does our cold radiator (the part of our instrument that dumps heat out into space) sees. I am so fricken close…and then the geometry of the radiator comes in.
When leaving the doctor’s office yesterday, Jay and I were discussing our spacecraft and an upcoming meteor storm. If we get hit, it can damage us, so we were discussing this issue. The other people in the elevator got quiet and then started snickering. F off people! Someone has to be the rocket scientist.
My earlier freak out over Soleil was good. We have action and medical intervention that has helped a great deal.
I put myself on a 4 week weight loss/exercise challenge. Guess what? I did NOTHING! I suck
I did get a personal trainer set up for Monday. Goal #1, set up an exercise schedule and learn some free weights. I need a schedule that I can check off and say I did.
I have been sleeping like a rock. I fall asleep early and don’t wake up until well after the alarm. WTF?

People are jerks sometimes. Sorry you got snickered at. If I met you guys on an elevator, I’d be asking tons of questions. Of course, I’m a science geek, so I’d love to run into scientists (not likely where I’m living in midwestern suburbia, USA).
Maybe they only snickered because they didn’t realize you were actual really and truly bonafide rocket scientists and thought you were the aluminum foil headgear type?

I’m glad things are moving forward for Soleil.
