Cycling to work on a sunny cold frisky morning with the 🌅. The start of a wonderful week.

The sun is out, perfect day for a walk, and I'm waiting at home for a delivery because I'm a nerd and want my new toy. Sound about right.🙃

Somehow, I must have made a wrong turn and ended up in a weird universe.

Today, I transferred 5000 samples to a cryofacility, checking each vial by hand and placing it in the correct position in the liquid N2 tanks. The productivity was high today 🤪 I'm exhausted.

My weekend has been therapeutic. I was able to unwind and decompress a bit from the last couple of days. The sun is starting to show itself again, and daylight is getting longer every day. Positive thoughts are coming back to me....that's a good thing.

So far, it's the worst week this year. Today, it ended with my father being ambulanced to the hospital. He's back home now, but there was a lot of drama. I guess it's time for "1" 🍺.

This weekend, you can visit me in the lab and have a look behind the scenes. The university I work for is opening its doors for it's 600 year anniversary. www.kuleuven.be/600years/sch...

Just received news from my brother that my father has Alzheimer's disease. We already suspected that was the case, but this one is hitting me a bit hard at the moment.

Made a little holder for the bike charger with the 3d printer. It's the first time I designed something in 3d from scratch myself. 😀

Nog uit het regeerakkoord: Samen met de deelstaten bekijken we hoe we PrEP toegankelijker kunnen maken voor kwetsbare groepen en rollen verder het HIV-plan uit. We bekijken daarbij bijvoorbeeld om naast de expertisecentra ook een voorschrijfrol voor het eerste voorschrift te geven aan de huisarts.

Een draadje over wat er voor de LGBTI+ gemeenschap in het regeerakkoord staat. Is wat anders dan wat in de VS op dit moment gaande is.

This freeze may lead to 136,000 babies getting HIV. Monstrous.

That's just horrendous and will cause harm to people, especially the younger generations, who still need to be able to find information when coming of age.

I am reading about what my new government has planned for the next couple of years. So far, I'm not seeing anything worrying... even though it's right-wing inspired. Finally, it seems they are doing what needs to be done. Let's give them a chance. Hope the devil isn't in the details.

Just had to ask neighborly help to get back into my house. Locked myself out this morning in freezing weather. Good thing I have home assistant and can open the gate using their computer.

Looks like my country is going to have a government. It would have only taken them 235 days. For Belgium, that's short.

Asking the Chinese AI deepseek about Taiwan. It seems not to be able to handle it 😕

I hope europe opens its borders for those in the US who need it.

Just booked a vacation to Portugal in May. 🤪

I love playing with this little electron microscope. Sometimes work is fun 😁

Ok. I have too much bad cholesterol, according to my latest blood work. I guess it's time for some salad.

STI testing at the start of the year because we are responsible (actually doing this every 3 months), and while we are at it, I'm also having a look at cholesterol levels and other stuff because I'm getting older.

Snow has started to fall here. Not looking forward to tomorrow's traffic.

vm.tiktok.com/ZGdBpCLU4/ This is insane. I would have a heart attack seeing this outside my home

Today, I used the new bike to drive to work. Getting wet in the cold winter rain....love it.

I just had a coke bottle fall on my big toe. Damn that hurts.

Upgrading ........

Can't believe I need to go to work tomorrow. 😢

I was hoping fake accounts and bots would not be an issue on bluesky. Guess I was wrong. I'll keep on 🚫 them, so maybe to all bots ... don't bother. Also, if you post NSFW without tagging it as such, you will go on block. After all this time you should know how to do it.

Just got my new bike. Charging the battery now so I can take it for a drive in the afternoon. Even in this cold freezing weather I want to test it out.

Getting my new bycicle on Saturday from the shop. Looking forward to it. 😃

To everyone here... a happy new year. May 2025 bring you plenty of blue skylines with sunshine and happy moments.

Currently trying to set up Nightscout to monitor my father's diabetes. It seems to be working as I am getting alerts. Let's hope this will help to get him more to normal levels.

Planes keep crashing these days.
