And to bed. What a disaster. The SNP bring hope and terror all at once. What happens to Northern England now? We're screwed.

"Woken up" just in time to see both Clegg and Miliband go. I have barely slept. I am worried for my country's position as a united country and as a member of Europe.

The future of publicly funded science in this mess? Who even knows.

Let's hope the American public have more sense than the British in 18 months time.

C • They often do 18

I ran into work to get rid of anger. Felt bizarrely okay for having had pretty much no sleep. Passed a guy who asked me to slow down and had a brief chat, apparently his LGBT friends back in the UK think the election had the best outcome for LGBT people. Are they completely crazy?

Some exercises.

Well I'm not going to sleep tonight. This is an astounding and terrible car crash.

Mega work life balance fail. I suck. At least I am cycling!

Commute.

Eddie! With the onset of heat over the last few days almost every tomato plant has new green growth! Yey! They may survive after all!

C • Hurray for the heat! 1

To work and back. I did do something token this week!

Rob joined me for an early evening recovery run at West Rock and it was lovely! I did better at not working too hard today, but still stayed half an hour too long.

Back to Freeletics. 4 sets of 50 press ups, 20 sit ups, 50 squats. Press ups were hard, the rest just filler. Then stretchy time.

I have been working too hard. For Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday in the lab I got around 15,000 steps per day without any training. Too much time on my feet, most of it actually good and really productive, but leaving me physically exhausted. This isn't how Becky work. So the aim for next week is to cut back, work normal work hours, not run quite so many parallel experiments, and get other things done too. Going to ditch Payne Whitney membership as getting there is just another barrier to doing stuff, and use Freeletics. Will try to run to work more. It's that time of year when I don't have to carry 6 millions layers to do that, so it should be grand!

Have had a lovely weekend so far, mostly getting errands done and pottering in the garden in the sunshine. Going to Nipmuck State Forest today, to revisit the run I did with Zan (last year/the year before?), but this time walking with Rob.

My feet still hurt though from being stood up all week. But everything else feels better.
