Best Laid Planzzzzz
I need to creep up on an early night.
For some reason I seem to be going to bed at 2am, and it's not good as I need to be up at 7.30. Last night I had a cunning plan: catch up with some of the stuff I've videoed, watch an episode or so of QAF, hack out that article for Extrapolation, watch another episode, get to bed by one. No point in going to bed too early and then not sleeping.
(I've ruled out going to the pub as it's football, and once we lose it will be a depressive atmosphere. I mean, all we need is a draw to get into whatever championship it is, having apparently been handed a miracle by Israel beating Russia [and I find it hard to believe I know this] - so the most likely result is to clutch defeat from the jaws of a tie.)
So it's nearly one time I start the DVD for the winding down episode. And getting on for 2 when it's finished. And I ought to check if I've won chess or Scrabulous yet... Read a couple of chapters of Frenchman's Creek.
Yes, 2.40am bedtime.
The alarms go off at 7.15, 7.20 and 7.30. I think, let's listen to the radio. I doze and ponder why Melvyn Bragg is presenting Saturday Live. Realise it isn't Saturday but Thursday. I could do with being in by ten so that gives me 45 mins to be up dressed and walk twenty minutes to work.
Argh.
Maybe I shouldn't try going to bed early.
