Cream of potato soup is like clam chowder with out the clam. Or the bacon. There is onion involved though, and too much salt.

Have enough data for a manuscript but PI is going to have me try for a top tier journal which I DON'T have enough data for yet and won't until a particular experiment that I've been failing on and off since my first year works. He's also worried about being scooped. I would be lying if I said I am not a little stressed out by all this.

Am going in to lab both days this weekend again, but thankfully only a short stop each day. Tomorrow morning I plan to de-stress by spending hours along a street in the rich people district, where there are some very beautifully constructed private residences, and take reference photos for my practices at building drawing. With luck I will be unobtrusive, or at least innocuous enough in appearance, to avoid any possible wrath (and possible legal ramifications) from people who don't like their houses photographed. Then I will go to lab and then home and then it will be Monday again, alas, and I have just lost a little of mice together because they got eaten by their parents. They really need to stop doing that.
