In the cells, the shrinking to microtubules is due to catastrophic events. And since microtubules are dynamic, they often cycle between growing and shrinking. Why exactly am I talking about microtubules? Well I feel like microtubules are a good analogy to the number of people at home over the winter holidays. At one point, there were 15 people at the house (four were under the age of two) and now we are back down to just 3 (soon to be two after I go back to Iowa). I loved having everyone at home (even though it got a bit noisy at times). But now everyone has returned to their homes. We had our delayed Christmas on the morning of 3oth. I was so excited to give my presents. I was able to finish a lap quilt for my mom, but I wasn't able to finish the king-size quilt for my sister Rachel. Hopeful I will get it done in the near future. I was able to surprise my brother-in-law Trey with the Johnny Cash Children's album. And Bridget was happy with the quilting fabric I picked out for her (it was two weeks of fun and trying to get a good variety of fabric). Soon I will be heading back to Iowa and back to lab work and writing.
