The "system" has kicked in! I have to go to the hospital in the morning to see if they can find any blood in my veins. I'm putting my money on brimstone and treacle spilling out, but I'm not sure who's getting the last laugh... I have to go nil by mouth from 9.30 tonight until after they drain me. Voluntary nil by mouth is fine, but now that somebody has told me I can't eat, I'm so hungry!
I have 50 minutes left. In the last hour, I've killed off two pecan danish pastries and four slices of toast - worse still, no drink either. No tea! What am I going to do? If I can't have tea, I'm going to have a headache from hell in the morning, so I have two on the go - Dalek mug and Lost mug if you're interested - and I'm going to keep them in rotation. I hope I don't just 'forget'. There will be a lot of smoking going on tonight...
A brilliant thing happened this morning. I went out to get coffee and the French woman in the coffee shop told me I was starting to look like d'Artagnan. Now that some time has gone by, I'm wondering which one she was talking about. There's been some bad movies over the years and not a single one that I can actually remember being great. I found this 'acceptable' pic on google, but apart from the facial hair thing I have going on, I don't look like this! Maybe the French have a generic image of him like we do with Guido F. No matter - sometimes the Gods throw us a roasted pigs ear for a few laughs and whether we decide to pick them up or not is up to us.
I'm in a quandry at the moment with regards to writing. I have too many projects on the table to handle - and depending what hour of what day it is, they are all as important as each other. The sensible thing to do (apparently) is ground them all for a while as I need to take care of some of the smaller things lying around which oddly take up just as much time as the big ones. They should teach this sort of thing at school because I am the worlds worst at prioritising anything. Ever. Nobody tells you that being creative is good enough because it's not. You also have to have your business game head on as well, otherwise you may as well simply write for yourself and never show it to anybody.
Is that it for today? Pretty much.. I'm wasting valuable eating time.
Currently listening to: the noise of the fridge door opening and closing and the kettle boiling.
Currently watching: eating time slipping through my fingers.
