Countdown...

3 hours left. 7 pages written. 1 small container of cottage cheese eaten. 1/2 cup of black tea with sugar already seeping down my alimentary canal. Approximately 8 grapes chewed and swallowed. At least 4 trips to the bathroom in the past 12 hours. 45-minute nap time, which resulted in a 3-hour nap after constant resetting of the alarm. 5 windows open on my computer screen, and 5 piles of paper surrounding me to provide me with an inflow of information.

I will be glad when this is over and my life slims back down to the more important things in life, like eating and sleeping.
