It was a nice weekend just spending time together as a family. Yesterday we went up to Parque Chipinque for a few hours. Again it was great to be out of the city. Saw more amazing insects. Big beetles and stuff. Today we went to the local planetarium/science museum which turned out to be quite good. Enid always likes the hands-on exhibits at science centers. Unfortunately the IMAX film about sea life that we saw was a little too scary for her. The sea creatures were awfully big on that huge screen, and they kept eating each other. She had her eyes closed through about half of it. But I guess she still enjoyed it.

The only problem with the weekend was that neither Robin nor I have been sleeping well lately, and it is really starting to catch up with us. I guess we are still adapting to the new situation here. I know personally I’ve been very wound up and preoccupied about my work. But after several nights of crummy sleep I’m realizing that I have to relax and slow down a little. It’s true I only have a year (actually 11 months now!) to make something happen in the lab, but if I’m not sleeping at night I’m not going to be able to get anything done anyway.
