El Presidente Le Chin, round two.

What an incredibly boring week. Work was standard. I'm working out the kinks of a pediatric dosage device and turns out if you try to dose the same material a thousand time, it gets crushed so more of it gets dosed out each time. This is annoying because it means I have to do a lot of work over again, but at least the results are looking much better this time.

Monday, I took Xander to get his tooth fixed before the parentals returned. He says Tim did a much better job than his other dentist.

We also finished this gem of a remake:

Other than that, I was just dying all week. Maybe it was the weather, or the dull monotony of re-doing a bunch of work, or how ridiculously tired I was. I ensure that I get a full 8 hours of sleep per night, but this week I was just burnt. I took several naps and slept half of Saturday to recover from whatever spicy sickness had taken its hold on me.

It was not my stimulating lunch company, however. Nor my nightly crew that found a theme song even The Chin loves (although he'll never admit it). Please click on this link. Really, though.

News of the week is the reorganization of the Providence, RI stake and creation of the New London, CT stake. Because Slimy Dad was busy with Kelloggius at mysterious meetings all day Saturday, I knew that food shopping would not get done. And we would starve. But mostly, I would starve when I had nothing to pack for lunch on Monday. So I did some emergency food shopping with the expectation of reimbursement.

If you're wondering, El Presidente Chin was reelected for the new CT stake, having diplomatically chosen counselors Bell and Balcarnie (? on those names) from the units acquired from Hartford and New Haven stakes. Having heard The Chin's talk including some Princess Bride quotes last night, one counselor requested we hear Monty Python next, the other made his own Princess Bride reference, and like *that* they have been accepted.

The bad news, as previously mentioned (I believe), is that all YSA members now living in the CT stake are still supposed to go to the RI YSA ward. Ugh. However, because we live in the Groton ward boundaries, we're kind of dual citizens. And I think I've attended both places equally since my return. Which leaves me in quite the confusing conundrum, although the problem is not worth too much pondering.
