Robert Fulghum once wrote that if you are up at 3:00 am, something bad is going on—that there’s no good reason to be up at that hour.

I’ve seen 4:00 am roll by three times in the last five days. I’m totally spent. (You may read between the lines and assume that I’ve seen far less than a full night’s sleep those nights.) But, at least, my OB group paper is done. Too bad it had to happen with such high personal costs.

Now I just have to face everything else due this week. But first, I think I’ll take a nap.
