Too much of a good thing

This month has been full of good things. I’ve seen a lot of my friends and family, I’ve had more than enough to keep my mind busy at work, I’ve had a busier-than-usual social life and I’ve even enjoyed some sunshine.

But it’s also a good thing to have time at home to catch up with bills and washing up, to have a day on the weekend when you don’t drive anywhere, and to get enough sleep each night. I’m not complaining; I’ve had loads of fun. But I’ve also been tired and run down, and I’ve spent every free evening semi-conscious in front of the TV.

Maybe I’m just getting old! In my first year of university I would get on average four hours sleep a night. I didn’t like to miss out on the fun, and I would often hear the birds singing before I got into bed. I just can’t do that anymore. In my current stage of life, I’m appreciating a bit of balance: two nights out, five nights in. One weekend away and three at home. One glass of whiskey, two slippers, and a good book… and it’s goodnight from me.
