I've been awake since 5am Wednesday. It's now 10:30pm Friday.

For whatever reason I just couldn't sleep Wednesday night, and spent Thursday night in the emergency waiting room. It was *packed* so once the nurses stabilised me I went to low priority as long as they had eyes on me.

Well it's Friday night and I'm going to kick its arse. Went for a walk in the cool air, got a hot chocolate, and am drinking it with chill music and a double dose of my sleep aid pills. To get to the café I specifically took a back alley and doubled back so I didn't have to walk past the bottle shop. Stayed on the other side of the road on the way back.

Would downing a bottle of something put me to sleep? Sure. But it wouldn't be good sleep and my Saturday morning plan of eating pain au chocolat in the park at dawn would be ruined.

I did not drink with you today, but I sure hope I get some sleep!
