Insomnia

Not only the title of one of the seminal dance tracks of the 90's but also what I seem to be suffering from lately. I was that shagged after a nightless sleep last night that I had to call work and say I couldn't come in until 11am today. If I hadn't had an important meeting to attend I may well have done a sickie. And I don't say things like that lightly considering I am now only paid by the day.

I seem to have some sort of jet lag from Saturday night maybe, or some kind of virus. Strange because I am tired getting into bed and by 3am am wide awake again. 2 pills of Dozile muscle relaxant should do the trick tonight.

Had a full on week last week but work is now settled a bit. Weekend was a lot of fun. Had Friday night out with the boys and Sat night went to Helen and Nathan's for dinner. Gorgeous food. Very good company. A testement to this was waking up on their couch at 2pm Sunday afternoon. Good effort I think. It's not every Saturday night that your dinner hosts dress up in a) a wedding dress, and b) a wrestling leotardy thing. I didn't so much keep my dignity but at least I kept my clothes on this time.

Caught up with Joe last night and shouted him a Wagamamas for his birthday. (Yes, I know not so special but we're at that age now where birthday gifts aren't really done.......unless it's my birthday of course). Was good to see him. Don't spend enough time together. He's not really a pub / bar kind of person. Whereas I have been known to pop into one now and again. He's promised to come out and play once in a while. (He's a clubber. I'm can't do 'em anymore)

Should really call my Dad tonight. Haven't spoken to him in ages. New plan for this week. Keep up contact with home.
