Fly me away from here...

[shapeofthings]

Nearly 9am and I'm yet to do any actual work. My mind is slowly starting to focus enough to potentially work on that pesky paper, but I'm procrastinating over a cup-o-soup. So far this morning I have tried (and failed) to get around the work download blocking to download some good new classical music from Epitonic, followed by surfing the journals of androkles and ruralrob to steal all my favourite images on the hard-drive. I then tested out the various images as my wallpaper - the almost square shape and high resolution of my TFT screen means few images work well. I've settled on a lovely pic from Ian of ornamental chillis, replacing my earlier desktop of Robby's "the Gut".

I eat so much when i'm tired!

Outside the sky is immensly blue and the wind is blowing. I never grew out of getting hyperactive on windy dys and i long to be out there, bundled up and battling my way along a bluff or sea-side cliff somewhere, or up in the mountains, watching the clouods scudding and listening to the trees sighing.

So here's the plan: no caffeine, MSG or sugary foods after midday. Regular bedtimes and wake times. Turn off computer at least a half hour prior to bed and start getting some more exercise once the back is up to it. I think I'll also visit my GP and enquire about Melatonin supplements to kick my body-clock back into rhythm. It's just a pity I'm a natural night person, but with Alex up at 5 I've already been woken, so any further sleep isn't good enough quality to make uo for a later bed-time, so I'll just have to adjust to early nights :-(

Meanwhile, enjoy pondering the brilliance of my friend, Mr. Escher...
