And last night was one of those horrible nights... I finally got to sleep at 03:45 or so. Just. Could. Not. Sleep. I went to bed too late to take a pill... it's recommended strongly that you allow eight hours for sleeping. And besides, I was *sure* that I could just go right to sleep. How very wrong I was. Karen's elbow woke me up about 06:10... she'd become weary of listening to the alarm, I guess. And she'd had a bad night herself... bad for her, anyway. She was having dreams, and I wakened her a coupla times when things seemed to be getting out of hand there.... And work was busy, of course, but we did have a full staff today. Had some interesting things happen today... but damned medical ethics... they'll go in the private journal. And it's almost 20:00 now... I had to do the end-of-the-month-beginning-of-a-new-month stuff, and I'm barely capable of reason... I just hope that I got it right. And I will write a haiku and post this up and go to bed. "Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction. "
-- Blaise Pascal, French philosopher, Pensees (1623-1662)
