inulroAfter 8 straight weeks of attendance at work and feeling better than I have in years, I failed to sleep last night (in the "coming down with a virus" sort of way rather than being too hot or assaulted by noise) and I definitely have virus today. I utterly failed to sleep this morning and only managed to nod off about two. Now I can't focus, which is really irritating. Yes, I have tried cleaning my glasses.
I'm hoping this is just a glitch and I'll be back to feeling well again.[1]
I had a really good time last night, just having dinner out and seeing a film and walking on the waterfront. We used to do this all the time and stopped not because we have no money but because over the last two years I've just been progressively too disabled to expend *any* excess energy. It was good to remind myself that Bristol does have a thriving culture and that my backwater is only 15 minutes away.
Recently I've become one of those people you read about in the Guardian who lives on a a deprived estate, and can take advantage of none of the advantages the city has to offer even though it's geographically very close. I've become like that due to illness and not financial hardship, but if anything that makes it harder to deal with. Ironically, when I had no money I could always get to places that were interesting and take advantage of free museum and gallery admissions, window shopping, half price days at the cinema, wander around and look at pretty buildings, etc.
Last night was a change from all that and I'd really like to make a regular habit of it.
[1] Not "well" in an absolute sense, but in a comparative way.
