Well, the mind is on vacation, anyway. That’s what happens when your whole life centers around work, school, eating, reading and sleeping and nothing else. With a paper due it’s not easy to take one’s mind off the paper topic. While eating dinner I’m mulling over what references I will use on page six. I wake up remembering I forgot to add a footnote. I’ve lapsed into that state of mind that is the human in autumn. It may take a week or two to set things right. Have patience: I have no other choice.
