Not science - still dorky

Apparently working on computers all the time has made me pine for manual labor - I actually made a stuffed toy! By hand! during my train commute! I must be crazy. 

Lesson learned: threading a needle while standing on a swaying train = blood letting

I'm sure this will be cured when I go back to my lab and start swearing at minute tubing that won't thread onto connectors and tiny glass pipettes that melt into globs when I've barely heated them at all.
