As usual I seem to have just about struggled to the end of the week and now I just want to sleep all weekend. Not going to happen, of course. I never do sleep much, but at least I have no overnights and no Sams shift tomorrow and exactly no plans for the weekend so I get a lazy couple of days. Yay :)

( The usual ramble )

No gaming tonight cos Lee's visiting from Manchester again tomorrow so game night has shifted to Friday, this not being a two night week. (Aid has a pass for two nights every other week. More than that is a little unfair on his other half, what with the babby and all). To be honest that's a huge relief because oh my god, soooo tired. It's not that I've been much busier than usual (every week seems to be as frantic as every other one, and every week I still feel like I don't achieve very much) it's just that, well, sleep's been very much at a premium recently. Every night this week I've been waking up some time around one-ish and then sleeping fitfully after that. I seem to be managing about 5 hours a night, which sucks. To feel completely human I need 8 hours-ish (always have done) so I spend a lot of my time feeling half dead. Ugh :(

( This is a cut. There is waffle under it )

Gah. Feel grotty.
I haven't been off work with anything other than "really can't be arsed today", or random excruciating sinus pain since 2006, so maybe it was past time. There was a time last night/this morning when I thought it might be the beginnings of flu. But no, just a stinking cold (with, of course, random excruciating sinus pain). I always feel a bit stupid giving a cold as a reason not to go into work, but I feel icky, so whatever. They're highly unlikely to sack me for taking a few days off. And anyway, I'm tired. I get five hours sleep a night at most, if I'm lucky, just cos I can't sleep for longer than that. So I think a few days of lying on the sofa, watching DVDs and letting stuff take care of itself for a while is sort of in order.
