Detoxifying & adjusting

Great weekend - shame about the aftermath! Had another busy weekend just there; on Friday I went to the Arches for Pressure's 6th birthday - the atmosphere was fantastic, and after there was a party at Joe's and Lyall's with some folk who were up from Newcastle. Fun! On Saturday I was on the verge of staying in for a quiet night when Suzi asked me to come out clubbing again. This time we went to The Vault, and although it's a small basement venue, the atmosphere there was also great! Afterwards, we went to the Boy David's (a young multicultural bloke who's only 18 and parties like a Duracell rabbit on speed) flat for a wee while while he played some records, and then back to J & L's to continue the afterparty - David brought his mixer (audio, not drink) and I even had a shot on the decks (probably shouldn't've bothered).

However I'm now paying the price, as I haven't been feeling too good for the past couple of days. This could be down to a number of things. Possibly too much drink, too many cigarettes, too little sleep or a combination. On Sunday night I went to bed at 12am and managed somehow to sleep all the way through to 2pm!! And Monday night (sorry, Tuesday morning) got to sleep at 4am and woke around 10.30am. At the moment it's either too little sleep or too much! Yesterday I went to the gym for an intensive workout on the treadmill and got stuck into the muscle-building machines also. This was mainly an attempt to sweat out the excesses of the weekend but afterwards I just felt knackered!

I'm really trying to adjust to a normal sleep pattern and as the induction for my job is on Friday and I start proper on Monday. I've always struggled to synchronise my body clock with the rest of the world but now I'll have to on a more permanent basis. I really want a regular sleep pattern anyway, as I'll feel so much better in general. This randomness I'm so accustomed to is no good for my wellbeing!
