Biochem and Physio finals tomorrow. Anatomy on Friday. And then at 4:10 pm on Friday, I’m hopping on a Megabus, Boston-bound! Nothing celebrates the culmination of another round of exams like going “home” to the husband.
In the mean time, I might be pulling my first all-nighter of med school tonight…yeah, I’m in a bit of trouble. But it got me thinking about the cute/weird/neurotic bedtime habits I picked up living by myself:
1) There are three locks on my front door. Before I go to sleep, at least two of them must be locked.
2) I always, always must check under the bed for boogie monsters prior to going to sleep. (They would need to be some scrawny boogie monsters.)
3) Jonah is a stuffed animal monkey (I think he’s supposed to be a Japanese Macaque) that my mom gave me when I was six. When I don’t have John, I take him to bed with me. John thought it was hilarious that I whipped him out when he was in Haiti this past January.
Okay then, wish me luck! Thanks for all your wonderful support and encouragement!

Jonah!! I remember you, sweet little guy! Keep her safe and warm!
soon you will keep me safe and warm!
Transition objects or loveys are nothing to be laughed at! I still sleep with my stuffed Piglet and nothing makes me feel more safe!
Alaina, that is the best news! If someone as brilliant as you sleeps with Piglet…well, the world is just a sweeter place. Miss you!
So THAT’s where Jonah went. I looked all over — many times. Glad he’s safe and happy.
Glad you are too.
Love
Dad
Thanks Dad! Miss you!
