Scribblings from the Mitchy Side

I was bright eyed and bushy tailed at 5am this morning *sighs* Gave up on sleep in the end and pootled around on the internet. Downloaded and watched the available eps of S4 of The Unit so I can go read jebbypal's Unit fic without fear. Huzzah! :D

Crashed out around lunchtime, slept all afternoon *sighs* But I'm still pretty heavy eyed so I'm hoping to get to sleep between 1am and 2am and then I'll be almost back in synch. She says, prayerfully.

Did some online grocery shopping tonight. Found mysupermarket.com's one main flaw. The comparison prices between the stores are only as good as the items that are substituted. When I did a shop at Asda, it was cheaper than Tesco's but then I found out they have a minimum online order of £25. Sod that, I thought. So I went back to Tesco's, who not only don't have minimum orders but will deliver the very next day, even though I didn't book the slot until 11pm tonight. So yeh, they're more expensive but hopefully this is the last time I'll have to order online. Next week 'm gonna attempt the short drive to Morrison's and see how it goes. If it goes not well, I'll leave it a little longer before starting to drive but either way, I'll have shopping :)

And now for more CivII, methinkest.

Oh bah. Stupid DST has totally screwed with my sleeping patterns. How can losing a measly hour make such a difference? *chunters* So here I am, at nearly 3am, bright eyed and bushy tailed. *facepalm* This doesn't bode well for the rest of the week :P

Finished the fic! Yay! And my splendiferous Betas got it back to me in plenty of time for me to send it speeding off to my SC bidder. I snug them *snugs* Now...we wait :p

An unfortunate and unintended side effect of all this literary (hah!) activity was that for some reason I could NOT get to sleep last night. I went to bed dog tired, willing to sleep but the body wouldn't co-operate. By 4am I threw in the towel and got up. By 7am I accepted I wasn't going to get any sleep and by 8.15am I was work, to the total astonishment of ShitStirrer. It was quite a long day :P But I was allowed to go home at 3.45pm and then i crashed and crashed hard. Just woke up in fact.

I feel better now, oddly enough.

Cross your fingers for me that I'm still sufficiently tired that I crash out again later on. I think I will be, though, especially if I don't leave it too late. *nods*

Insomnia sucks, have I mentioned this? :P

Insomnia sucks.

This is all.


PS: Thank gods it's Friday tomorrow....*looks at clock, curses* Today.

Self-inflicted insomnia is a pain! My fault for mis-managing my tea intake this evening. It's 3am and I'm bright eyed and bushy tailed, which is a lot more than I'll be tomorrow. Oh well.

If I can't sleep, I may as well amuse myself by playing CivII. If it makes me sleepy enough to get to sleep in an hour's time, that'll do. I can just about function on 4 hours sleep :)

Why do I always get insomnia the night before a work day and never when it doesn't matter?

No, don't answer that, it's a silly question :)

Apparently all you need is 4 hours sleep per night. Let's go and give this a try......

Don't ask me why I'm up at this ridiculous hour. Let's just say that the idea of tossing and turning for another 3 hours didn't appeal. Suspect today is going to be a highly caffeinated day :P
