My butt’s asleep, so why not the rest of me?
It’s just after 4:30 in the morning. I’ve had this laptop on my legs for six hours now. I have to meet with half of my students for individual conferences in nine hours to offer them reasonably coherent comments about their performance to this point and answer whatever questions they might have about their research papers. Then we’re making the two-hour drive to camp so we can get it ready to open for the summer.
I’ve never been a drinker, and I hate popping pills, but if I don’t get some sleep soon, I might just slip into some psychotic episode. And no, I haven’t been sampling from the list of best diet pills to jack myself up. This is getting ridiculous.


I sooooooo know what you mean - but do try to get some rest!
Oh! I hope you got some sleep. I hate it when I experience nights like those (more frequently then I care for).
Good luck with your students!
Wow, welcome to my world. I usually go around feeling like Sleepy the Dwarf. Hope you’re able to get some Zzzzz’s!
Thanks, ladies. The trip to camp was just what the doctor ordered — I slept like a baby up there, and I was so tired when we got home that I crashed!
