I had more to drink than I usually
would on Friday night although I wasn’t drunk, but as I was drinking lager so I
had a chemical headache yesterday morning when I was hoping to record The Sunday Alternative before we went to town. Talking Jack
to the park helped clear my head a bit but the day was a write off as far as
working was concerned. What didn’t help to clear my head was the two pints of
Guinness I drank yesterday afternoon. I don’t know when I lost the ability to
drink alcohol but I used to be able to drink all day and all night at the
weekend and wake up on Monday morning and go to work. Last night I had planned
to go to a gig but after watching Georgie Rose play in Trinity Square yesterday
teatime I went home for an afternoon kip on the sofa, intending to have an hour
to recharge my batteries. That didn’t go to plan as the gig started at nine o’clock
which was exactly the time that Mandi woke me up. Having had about two hours
sleep and feeling foggy I wasn’t going to make the gig as I only wanted to go
and see the support band.
This morning and for most of
the day I felt as though I was wading through custard, I had already sorted the
music for this week’s podcast so I decided to leave it until I returned home
from lunch at my dad’s. Once I had got it recorded and uploaded I stopped work
again and took Jack out. I’ve got a pretty intense day at work tomorrow as I am
determined to finish the Nathan McKenzie
audio book if it bloody well kills me, which would be unfortunate as I have two
other audio books to record after that. My two day ‘holiday’ from the courtroom
has not been as productive as I imagined, although I have already recorded five
hours worth of my brother’s long and complicated novel so maybe it’s my fault
for writing such an unrealistic list in the first place.
