Tentative Sleeping Pattern

Morning,

Just a quick post before I head to work.

Dat is doing well. He had a triple bypass on Monday. Went down at 2.15pm, and came out at 10.30pm. Everyone's pleased with his progress. He was moved from ICU to HDU on Tuesday but (to my knowledge) is still there. An over-zealous nurse walked him too far on Thursday and it made his heart rate (duh!) and temperature rise. He's being given medication to control those and I haven't had any more updates.

I woke up this morning at 6.45am.

I've woken up every morning for the last 6 mornings at 6.45am. This was the first morning when my alarm wasn't set to 6.45am.

I've been getting lifts in with my housemate in the morning. She works in the school opposite work and gets to work by 7.45 ish so that she can do her marking and lesson planning before the kids come in. Then she stays until about 5.30-6.30pm. I get a lift in with her in the mornings so I get to work at 7.45 ish as well. Before last week I was -9 hours, last night when I clocked out I was - 20 minutes. Which I'm rather impressed with!

Went for sushi last night :) It's payday so my friend and I went. She normally drives to work as she lives outside London (and hour each way) but this time she came on the train so that we could have some cocktails after the sushi. We finished work by 5pm, then ate lots of yummy with a glass of rose. Then we went to Las Iguanas where they had a happy hour promotion so we had 3 Iguana-wana cocktails each. Peach schnapps, vodka and orange juice. They were nice :)

Our work do this year is being held at a bar called Sahara. It's a cocktail bar primarily, and we're having a buffet thing too. My friend has never been to any of the work do's because her husband has his birthday the same weekend that work usually organises it. So we went to Sahara so that she could sample and see what it would be like. She had a cocktail called Tukker which had raspberry, cucumber and something else in it (which was surprisingly nice) and I had a Royal Passion  which had peach and raspberry puree, vodka and something else in it (which was nice also).

I've been getting to bed by 11 this week because the long days and early starts have taken it out of me. I was in bed by 10pm last night! A phone call with Tom delayed it by about 40 minutes, but otherwise I slept for a very nice long time :)

I still feel pretty tired today though. Stomach isn't 100% from all the orange juice, but I'm hoping it will settle down quickly because it's the same housemate's birthday today and we're all going out tonight for it!
