Or more appropriately, scientific writer's block. I'm revising a manuscript for what seems like the hundredth time - but the closer I get it to being "finished" the harder the writing becomes. Case in point: I now have an outline for my revamped introduction and all I need to do is type it up and cite it. But I've been sitting on the same paragraph for an hour. WTF, brain??!

Mom & Dad are coming to visit on Wednesday and I'm surprisingly unprepared. Hopefully (magically?) the house will find its way out of disarray in the next two evenings. Bonus: we did make a menu and hit up the grocery store this weekend. At least one item on the checklist is crossed off!

Instead of house cleaning, we actually had a quite relaxing (and football-tastic) weekend. Friday evening was mostly consumed by the Apex High football game (they crushed Green Hope - when we left a couple of minutes into the 4th quarter it was something like 38-0). We had a fun time watching and luckily the weather held out so that our walk to/from the game was very pleasant. We had a very chill Saturday night hanging out with Angela, Hanna, and Lisa watching football and random other TV. On Sunday we watched more football - this time the Colts and the Cowboys.
