It’s after midnight and my grant proposal is done.  Well, almost done.  All the sections have been written and rewritten.  Charts have been added, budget numbers fudged and refudged.  It is good enough to turn in the way it is, but I will print it all out tomorrow and read it from paper.  Why is it that you can find more errors and inconsistencies when you’re reading from paper rather than trying to read it on a computer screen?  Plus, it IS after midnight.  And I don’t want to read 30+ pages again tonight.  And printing would wake up the dog who is sleeping upside down on her princess pillow near my chair.  Waking up the dog would be a bad idea.

So…I shake the kinks out of my neck and shoulders, try to clear my headache and the tiredness in my eyes.  I try to remember what is due for other classes and am grateful I stayed up till 2 a.m. (or later?) last week getting that other paper done that is due Wednesday.   A smart student would print that one up as well tomorrow and read it.  Maybe I will.

Tomorrow husband and I will attend a play in Detroit, “Twelve Angry Men” and then he is going into work.  I’ll look at all of this plus do the online search prep work when I get home.  I just might have things under control.  At least I’ll go to bed thinking that.  Ignorance is truly bliss.
