As you may have inferred from the dearth of timely updates, I have been quite busy with non-blogging responsibilities. Such is usually the case, but April and May have been particularly hectic months, as I am inundated with manuscript deadlines–on top of other professional and personal responsibilities. I am nevertheless pleased to have made some progress: I submitted a preliminary research draft a few weeks ago, and completed the final version of another manuscript today. There are still a few more items in the pipeline.

Naturally, On The Wards takes a back seat during these time crunches. I suspect that for the millionth-and-second time I will need to revisit my time management strategies and contemplate how On The Wards will fit into the grand scheme of life.
