For some reason, I simply cannot sleep. For the last 3 days, I’ve had really broken nights that have required me to get up & do something about it – ie taking a tablet to relax me, allowing me to doze off. I’ve had more tablets in the last 3 days (2 tablets overall) than I’ve had in the last 12 months & I don’t like this trend.
Personally, I suspect that it’s mainly “final-accounts stress” from work, coupled with the fact that I am now genuinely reluctant to drink alcohol. Ordinarily, if I can’t sleep, I’d pour myself a glass of whiskey (ok, I admit, its not “good”, but it works), however, since I’ve been on these tablets-that-make-you-vomit-spectacularly-if-you-drink-the-tiniest-drop-of-alcohol, I’ve been really scared of having any alcohol at all. I appreciate that I had my last tablet on Saturday night at 9pm (giving me over 4 days to get the stuff out of my system), so by any rational basis, I should be fine – but I really don’t want to risk it… I’m going to have to bite the bullet at some point, but, well, I appear to be adverse to drink, which is a) healthy & b) terrifying in equal measure.
In other news, C has developed a cold, which has meant that whiskey consumption in our house has gone through the roof, as it is being consumed (by her) for medicinal purposes. I have, however, stopped her from gargling with the 12 year old single malt that costs about £50 a bottle & convinced her to move to the 5 years old blends, because, whilst I might not be drinking, such blatant disrespect for such excellent whiskey almost moved me to tears…
