Update for Friday:

So last weekend was a total bust as far as studying goes due to visitors, visiting others, and being just generally exhausted. I did find out that I have no "skillz" at DDR, which doesn't bode well for my performance at the next MyFam Reunion. Perhaps because of the continuous activity on top of a wild work week, I came down with a killer cold this week and was down flat thru Thursday evening. Today I'm at work by sheer force of will, but I'm glad I came because as soon as I walked in this morning something broke in our fish system and water was spurting everywhere. Turns out it's a part they don't make anymore and we might have an interesting time ahead trying to fix it. *sigh*

So far I'm now 8 chapters and 2 lectures behind in class, 1 experiment and 2 sample preps behind in research, and buried under literally 4 inches of paperwork with still no word on new grant money so no idea if I've got the funds to do what I need to at the moment. I'd be scared if I weren't so highly amused.
