[Final moments]

Less than 22 hours to deadline.
The final project.
Having just narrowly passed the previous module, having promised myself not to push my luck, to tempt the deadline, here I am ….  drinking my second coffee in less than 18 hours.

My second coffee, my second breakfast – maybe starting the daily routine again, even without the sleep to separate the days, will be enough fool my body -  and my second (or maybe its the third, fourth….) round of begging my body to stay awake long enough for me to jump this final hurdle, coaxing it with a promise (or perhaps a threat) that it will never have to miss another night of restless sleep if I can just … pass.

Just one last time.
