So anyways... I snagged her magical
     books and brought them home with me 
     when I finally decided I wanted to
     come back....Despite her irritating
     and slightly annoying nature,
     The Witch was quite a nice vacation
     from..... I suppose from dealing
     with the Shaun problem....
                
     I did not run away, that must
     be what the gods are thinking...
     I did not run, but I merely just...
     Took a nice long vacation for fiveish
     weeks!!!
     As soon as I got back here
     though, back to my laboratory..
     I bought a large couldron!!!
     I must comission an engineer to 
     construct me a fire place big enough 
     for the couldron!!!
            

     Once I had gotten resettled into things..
     I had stripped myself of my unnecessary
     articles of clothing...
     My travel-labcoat...my scarf...my vest..
     and finally my gloves... I had found
     that my hands have changed slighty..
                
     After numerous hours of research, I
     have concluded that my hands have
     been magically stained!!!
     Of course, they were a bit reddish
     or greyish when I was cooking with
     the witch.. but I had thought I washed
     my hands well enough!!
     It seems I will have to look more
     into this....
                
     Although on a different note..
     I have found a new science partner!!!
     Not that I am replacing Shaun.... 
     But in this case, I am replacing Shaun.
     Shaun has hurt me.
