Burning the candle on both ends (just like Da Ponte… and Kelly, and Mozart, and Beaumarchais all d

Last night I:

studied from 1:00 pm until midnight
went grocery shopping until 1 am
went to bed at 1:30 am
got up at 4:30 am to pick up my wife from work
got back home around 5:30 am
tried to fall back asleep but couldn’t so I got up at 6:30 am (but my wife had no problems sleeping. Grr—)
worked on my paper until 8:30
went to the post office to send off reeds
got my back adjusted and finally—
was in the practice room from 10:30 to 12:00 where I went over to the library to study and work on my paper some more.
And now it’s midnight. And I’m finally done with my paper. But I have a listening test study guide I’m supposed to write.
It’s no use. I need to get some sleep.
