Not so jaded....

OK. I'm not so jaded today.

Even though I didn't sleep too well AGAIN last night. (Perhaps Buffy, you'd like to come over and give me a massage.... maybe *that* would help me?)

Seriously - I haven't slept well for three night's now. My silly little brain is waking me up craving nicotine at the strangest of hours. (During daylight, the cravings aren't too bad, providing I'm not having telephone conversations with people in Vienna.) However, today I feel not so jaded. And here is why....

I had to escape from London this morning. Whilst not being in the capital fills me with absolute joy anyhow (so that may be part of it!) the thought of the early morning start and hassle of catching a train to York usually results with me pulling on a cigarette just outside of Kingscross before running for the train. Not so today! In fact I arrived at Kingscross feeling pretty damned good! I wasn't out of breath from running up any stairs with my suitcase. I didn't need a cigarette outside the station. I didn't need to scrounge a lighter from someone outside of York station either.

So it's made me realise yet another thing: ok, so I'm not sleeping. BUT at least i don't feel like I've had my lungs ripped out when I have to catch a train!

Oh and I worked out how long I've gone without - this is my 11th day! I got home last night and my g/f (who is sort of stopping too) said. Hmm. I'm bored. I want to smoke. I look stunned at her. How about s*x instead, I grinned. That will break boredom, surely?

Having a joint surely won't count, she said to me, flatly.

Ho hum. (And no, we didn't. And no, we didn't either. :mad: )

I am so glad you have started to see the benefits more clearly x x

The lack of sleep is a bugger,

I am so pleased that I don't have to chase up that ciggie from exiting, stations, cinemas, theatre, restaraunts, haidressrs & shops etc etc etc !!

That wasn't a no then, was it Buffy! *blush*

The result was good and bad. Though the expression 'Idle hands' applies to both scenarios, me thinks! ;-)
