Totally smashed my baby toe 😭 Pretty impressive, lots of blood. 10/10

Yup

This is turning into a fascinating example of how the scientists need to talk to the marketing people and the investment people right from Day 1. Messaging to non-scientists is important!

Tiling finished ✅ Got to wait for it to cure a couple of days but the kiddos shower should be grouted and sealed by the time the week is over. I’m totally skipping out on the grouting and sealing part though, if I can help it 😄
