so i don't sleep these days.

i was worried it was my sleeping conditions. after confirming my dream catcher was in place i decided to make my bed properly and see if that helped.


it didn't.

so obviously i decided i needed to buy new bed linen. tonight is the real test run... fingers crossed.

the good news is that i have the olympics to keep me company into the wee small hours. and now that nu zild success has made me proud to be a k1w1 i'm obsessed. i have such a crush on valerie vili i can *not* get enough of her walking around the bird's nest with the flag draped all over her winning self. and thanks to the wonders of the internet i can watch it any time i please.

you know what else i watch any time i please (provided i can go to a cinema and pay my hard earned cash for a ticket)? mamma mia. i saw it again. it was as - if not more - awesome than i remember. pierce brosnan's return to his remington steele form was long awaited but TOTALLY WORTH IT. actually, who needs sleep when you can watch this clip over, and over, and over, and over again?

i had a fight with my sister the other day because she accused me of being too soft on ryles. firstly i'm his aunt. so i am allowed to spoil him. and secondly i don't spoil him. because i watch reality tv shows about nannies and i know how to be a disciplinarian and gain the respect of children. plus the closest thing he gets to lollies from me are saltanas. like in this picture taken on wednesday. he was smiling immediately before and immediately after this photo was taken. my camera's speed is questionable. anyway the fight all ended badly, with me referring to her as the world's greatest parent. which she really should have considered a good thing. anyway. sometimes people just get the wrong end of the stick.

like today. i'm working from home but i bet *some* people think i am taking it easy and watching ellen. doubtful. although to be honest that happened yesterday. she's just so amusing. like in her ellen is that you segment. and hillary duff was on and sang some god awful song. and i felt even sicker.

anyway, i'm feeling slightly better today. last night i decided to go out and do something in between dinner and beddy-byes. so i went to a play at circa. heroes. about ww1 war veterans at a veterans home. who amongst other things plan an escape. which was sufficiently funny to have me smiling and the woman behind me hee-hawing. plus it has ray henwood in it. and we all know i'm basically in love with his son due to his one man shows and insert video here tele programme. then when i got home i popped a sleeping pill and an hour later voila... i was on the train bound for morningtown.

the ride was shorter than anticipated - i woke up at six - but better (to the power of infinity) than the previous rides - all of which were over by 2.42 am. tonight i'm trying drug free but if it doesn't work i'll be back on the pills quicker than you can sing rockin' rollin' ridin' out along the bay....

last night i barely slept. i blame having a strong cup of coffee while playing five hundred. it helped me to victory (i'm a winner, yay) but the side effect!


i was in some kind of not having slept bubble today. but one thing kept me going....
