About Me
I live in Los Alamos, New Mexico with my husband, daughter and two dogs (and whichever mice are currently living under the house). I like to spend time with my daughter, knit, bike, run, and tear my house apart, but not all at once.

And in other weird science news...redheads now have an excuse to be complete wusses. I don't know if I buy this, but for me being even just part-redhead (depending on sun exposure) this might explain a couple of weird things that have happened when I had my gum grafts done and when I woke up after my thyroidectomy. I had to go back in to get something cleaned out after the grafts were done on my gums, and the tech starts numbing me, and kept numbing me, and I was still squirming around while she was doing this cool laser-cleaning thing that was very painful...finally she got frustrated and said "I can't BELIEVE you can still feel this!" Hm! And then when I woke up after getting my thyroid out I was immediately in complete pain - to the point of panicking - and the nurse started getting angry with the surgeon and the anesthesiologist for not sending me out with more pain killers in my system. I guess maybe there was something else going on here...anyway, I actually think I have a fairly high pain tolerance...sometimes...but maybe I'm using my defensive pessimist side to compensate for being a complete wuss.
