the joys of nonsleep.

as much as not sleeping well can be a pain in the arse, theres also some good things too. this morning, one of those good things happened.

downstairs, i had myself some porridge and raspberry jam, needed something hot and something tastey, and hadnt had porridge in millenia. then, a rare thing happened. me and my old man had a good long chat about things. he was telling me about his dad, my grandfather who i never met as i was born a year after he died, told me about how ebbw vale used to look, what he used to do as a kid and about the hugely bad snowfalls of 48' and 63, the latter of which it took him over two days to get home from london due to the enormous amount of snow over the country! it was really nice sharing stories, and it always seems coming upto xmas is when my dad feels more at ease to talk to me, its weird i dont know why. we always have little chats and stuff, but he seems to enjoy it more. maybe its because over xmas you think more about family, and it reminds him of family that have been long gone. i enjoy the stories anyways, makes having insomnia a little more pleasant=]

and so xmas is soon, not really ready for it yet but i'll cope, been skint lately and its not fun! tyhinking about asking the biddy to lend me £50 just to get the main done as i'm doing a wedding in january apparantly, and i should get paid a nice bit for that=] its mainly the kids i have left to get, as well as my sisters birthday present too. stephen king, what have you got for me to get her!!!

had alittle sort out yesterday too, went on a mission at 7am haha. computer desk is in the part of my room that i care little for, and shelves are in its place. these shall be sorted later! hoping i can get rid of the desk and put some boxes in its place, of which includes an old projector i really wanna use for photography. pain in le ass though!

anyways, that'll do for now. maybe i'll do another post later.... ie before xmas=]
