The last three weeks of insanely intense work, with days getting longer as the week progressed–in the last 10 days I have been working almost all of my waking hours, including weekends, and I have seen the sunrise from my desk on three different occasions–were frankly brutal. I think I’ve been averaging slightly less than four hours a night for the last three weeks–thank God for caffeine. But, I think I just finished the last major piece of the insane stuff, and it should be a slow downhill glide back to my regular level of intensity. <\/p>\n
