I just discovered that my RSS feeds I have set up in Outlook have not been updating. The weird thing is, if I visit a blog and then go back to Outlook, then it updates. I use Firefox. Why would there be some weird cross-talk between it and Outlook? Anyhoo. I'll catch up on all y'alls blogs eventually.
In the meantime I still have some grant writing to do. I read about 12 scientific publications today. My brain is dead, but I want to do through the edits my PI gave me before bed so I can just write tomorrow. I thought I would finish all my revisions today, but alas.
Seriously though, I do not know how people can just work on a grant 16 hours a day. What about laundry? Meals? Dishes? Maybe if I had a dishwasher it would be easier, but I read for about 9 hours today. That's tiring.
Hope you enjoyed this meaningless post. It was faster than baking, which I felt like doing but know that it takes too much time and there is this grant hanging over my head....

I like that you used the term "crosstalk", made me chuckle a little. He he, nerd!
SS, I just can't help it. :-)
If you do start baking you know who to call.
Ron, check.
Glad to have you back visiting! As an aside: I responded to your comments on my blog with more comments.
As for the rest of your post: ugh. 9 hours of reading scientific papers only works for me when I'm really under super massive pressure.
I usually need a pretty long break after about 2 or so hours of reading science papers. Of course, this is why one of my "opportunities" (i.e. weaknesses) when it comes to research is staying up with the literature.
I would have to agree with the whole wondering how other people can write grants and be on top of the rest of their lives. I know some PIs have told me that most of the rest of their life slides and becomes super low priority; I just don't think people publicize it much.
