Default Going Back to Work Tomorrow...

After two weeks off. The fact I've been sleeping in till at least 11 most days means that I'm now wide awake, and I have to get up at 04:50. Tomorrow's going to be a loooong day.

Anyone else in this predicament?

No? Just me, then!

I was on Saturday.

Had almost two weeks off and got used to dossing about a bit, so Friday night arrived and I couldn't sleep. Be lucky if I managed to get 4 hours.

D*ck.

You might ask why I'm on this if I'm trying to sleep. The answer is that I'm so hot, uncomfortable and buzzing with energy that there's really no point lying here like a mong and kidding myself.

I wouldn't worry about it.You're in Scotland so you will probably be the first one back.
