Shot an OC with a couple of clonidine pills thrown in the vial while mixing my shot. Then got out the power drill and jigsaw to hack up a section of the floorboards in order to recover some rather precious and hard to obtain lab reagents, the damn bottle of a certain aldehyde had fallen on its side and rolled deep inside a sealed off section of flooring. That took me a fair while cutting open the floor and then ferreting around in various contortionist positions using a tent peg to hook the bottle and reel it in.
I think its about time to go slam another OC before heading to the lab and starting to gear up for the oximation of this specific propionaldehyde. Its been too long since I did anything at all in ye olde skunk works. The myoclonus problem I've been having, coupled with the myoclonic seizures Ive been having have made me afraid of it happening in the middle of working with something potentially dangerous, a seizure starting during say, handling a grignard reagent, or a big flask of THF/LAH solution that would ignite and go up like hiroshima in miniature. Or of course, buggering up and a fit happening while working with the fruits of my labors, which are usually valuable, rare and precious.
Haven't had any muscular twitches though of late, and I feel a LOT better than I did a couple of weeks ago, so 'tis high time I got some actual work done.
Got the bugger eventually. Lol it reminded me of those money-making machines with the motorized crane/grabber things that are ALWAYS rigged not to grip properly, and almost never to actually win the teddy bear/small toy etc.
