coder's block

A usually temporary psychological inability to begin or continue writing code / programming.

I just can't figure out how to approach this new programming project. Should I use PHP? Should I build it myself or look for some libraries I can use? I think I have coder's block.

I've been struggling with coder's block for the past few weeks, and after staring blankly all day at some really ugly code I wrote a while back that uses PHP, MySQL, and regex, it finally started clicking with me again and I was able to update it. I got it back now, baby!

between a pillow and a soft place

Describes a situation where something has two meanings to you, both of which warm your heart.

Cousin 1: You know, you've become like a sister to me!
Cousin 2: Awww, I'm touched that you feel that way, plus I feel like I've gained a sister! It puts me between a pillow and a soft place!

Guy: Being with you makes me want to be a better person.
Gal: I'm between a pillow and a soft place hearing you say that.
