The WORST is over?

I think I may have hit apogee!

For the last three weeks I've been moving every moment from one project/paper to the next. (Or in Vancouver last weekend for a fall institute where interestingly I presented a poster on health care workers and influenza vaccinations!)

I tear myself away from writing a paper to run to a meeting for a group project. Today I ran back for 2 minutes to slap a few more words into a poorly designed paragraph so I wouldn't lose the thought (community based research and policy). Then I hopped into the car to the U of A for the group meeting (collaborative agreement assignment). When I came home I looked at another group project (community gardens) and then back to the paper... In between I try to look engaged when people talk to me, and when they call I have to determinedly look AWAY from the computer or my attention is divided and then gets suuucked into the computer. The human voice is no challenge when I'm in the middle of this stuff!

But, now the paper is 95% done. I have <4 hours of work to do this weekend, the glory of it is that I can't do more - I'm waiting for others to do their part or to get a draft back :)

Happy happy. Oh, I know that it will speed up again, but it shouldn't be that frantic. Ahhhh. Ahhh. Mmmm.
