oh crap, oh crap, oh crap.

Okay, I just put together an awesome, professional looking outline together for the paper. Now all I have to do is populate it with information, which really shouldn't be that hard if I accept the fact that this is going to be a mediocre paper at best, and just plug in the data. I wrote half of the therapy section, and the second half should take about 20 minutes. And I'll have to do the benzo section tomorrow, because I haven't even read the article yet. So the timeline is to to do it from 2-3 tomorrow. Then read the prazosin articles from 3-4. Then a patient from 4-4:30, then work on the prazosin section until 6, then head over to acupuncture, then come home and offer a somewhat coherent analysis of the data, thus missing the Lost festivities once again. Oh well.

And now I have to read the article I'm presenting at Journal Club tomorrow. And figure out what makes it a good article, based on Absolute Risk Reduction, Number Needed to Treat, and Relative Risk Reduction. Is it any wonder I put these things off until the last minute.

In happier news, I'll be planting seeds in the garden this weekend. I've got moonflowers & morning glories, which I'm hoping will climb the wooden fence at the back of the garden. Then hollyhocks & sunflowers & zinnias for big, fat color splashes. And then a trip to my dealer in the Sears parking lot who hooked me up last summer with ridiculous deals. As far as I could tell, there was no set pricing on any of the flowers, and the more I visited, the more I got for less money. I love the Sears man. And I also kind of love Sears, although they seem to have done away with their "Latina" line. Yes, it was actually called Latina. I hear they're coming out with the "Black Woman" line this summer, with plans to release "The Asians" in the near future. Exciting!
