Yay!

Woohoo: I've just bought two tickets to go and see the Wildhearts on Tuesday. (Long-time readers of this journal will know that they've been my favourite band for a very long time.) I have sorted out a nice chap from the Wildhearts mailing list to give me a lift down to Portsmouth, and more importantly, back again; whilst getting to Portsmouth should be easy 'cos there's direct trains from Surbiton (which is 5 minutes on the bus from here), it seems there's engineering work on Tuesday 30th and the last train from Portsmouth back to London will leave at 22:24, which would mean leaving the gig ridiculously early. Eep. All hail Chris, person with a car.

Now I have to make sure I get to bed at a sensible time: I have a long day at work tomorrow and I can't afford to be late. I have to get up at 11am, which is quite reasonable really - thousands of people are happily awake by then - almost in the middle of their working day, some of them. But that means going to bed by, oh, 3am or something - and how am I going to guarantee being tired by then? let alone tired and able to sleep? Argh. I need to get a new body clock - there must be one available for download somewhere...

Re: to work on sleep...

Anyway, the way I'm dealing with the sleep problems now is that I have a job where I work afternoons and evenings. I've decided there is absolutely no point me even trying to work in the morning with my brain chemistry in the state it's in. I'm doing a low paid job that totally underuses my abilities and qualifications - but I enjoy it and it doesn't stress me out too much. I've decided I'm just going to stick with this for the time being - it's menial and the money's crap, but it's good for me to get out of the house, and the small amount that I bring in does make the difference between us having a net deficit and a net credit at the end of each month. Maybe one day I won't be depressed any more, and then I can "do something with my life". Heh.

No, I'm managing ok most of the time. It just gets me down when my sleep cycles start drifting to the extent that even getting to work in the afternoon is hard... y'know? Ah well. I'll get there in the end.

Hey, I would really appreciate your advice with what I just posted about (http://www.livejournal.com/talkread.bml?journal=baratron&itemid=75680). Let me know on that journal entry if you've got any ideas... I'm totally stumped.
