tired

E is taking me to our favorite place for dinner tonight for our Valentine dinner. But right now I feel groggy and gross. I got another UTI (I'm prone to them) and my antibiotic is making me light headed and nauseous. On top of that I have killer cramps but I'm here in lab because I still have crap to do that I can't do at home. Last night I finally got a draft back from my adviser and now I need to make more changes so that we can actually re-submit that paper. We are running out of time. She took 10 days and made some major changes in the intro, which is mostly ok, but now I have a long list of make sure to check this reference here, here and here, re-number all references, find citations for text she added, fix several response to reviewer comments that I had addressed in the paper and are now deleted! etc, etc. It is due Tuesday so I hope we make it and I hope they take it this time. She kept saying stuff like, we are running short on time, and we need to get this done.... all the while that she had the most recent draft, where I had changed and updated the methods, results and discussion. I get it back last night to "fix" it and look up everything and I have to have it ready tomorrow.... I know I shouldn't complain. But I just get frustrated. I have more changes to make but I always get less time to do it. Last time I made changes in 2 days, she took over 7, I got it back to her in 3 days with everything she requested, then I wait 10 days! Normally it is slow but I don't have a ticking deadline from the journal on my ass.
I just hope I feel better by tonight so I can enjoy dinner.
