How are you doing with sleeping, Zeps? I've been struggling thse past few weeks... Averaging about 4 hours a night.

Last night I slept like a baby Tips, and actually slept in. Good thing I'm self-employed. I found it hard to sleep when drinking, would wake up in the middle of the night craving more beer.

When I was still drinking to the point of black-out every night, I used to pass out until the next morning. Now I go to bed sober after my two glasses, fall asleep fairly easily, but it doesn't last. Other times it's the other way around - can't fall asleep but then I can't get up. Like the time you had to bore me to sleep :-)

I think because this time I weaned myself of slowly first instead of going cold turkey it might be why I am sleeping well (but this is only day 2). Last week I had a bit of trouble getting to sleep.

Oh, I almost forgot, Oney: you were telling about buying school supplies and so on.

I get so bloody angry: the school my kids go to has this convenient arrangement with a SINGLE outfitter in town. It's the only place you can buy the damn outfits. Each item costs about double what a similar garment costs at normal retail outlets. I wish they would enforce standardisation of school uniforms. But nooooooooo... every item has to have the emblem nad name on it.

And each sporting code has a different uniform too... And you're only allowed to use a school umbrella, etc. etc. etc. Next they'll be branding the kids' underwear!

Oops... starting a bit of a rant there. It's just one of my pet hates...

OK, now we just need to start working on timing. It is 11.40 a.m. - can you hang on for a few hours?

When my mum was at school they had a certain type of underwear they all had to wear, and get this, they used to line up the girls in the gymnasium and actually check they had the right ones on.

What a good way for a cheap perve, imagine trying to do that nowadays.
