Staying Awake

Busy day today; got into work early to prepare for my Tuesday morning meeting (dropping off our recycling on the way). Went down to check on the conference room at about 8.00am and good job I did as the IT had failed. Managed to get it up and running just before the first people arrived at 8.25am - phew!

The rest of the day I was busy with typing up of minutes, drawing up rota's etc. Managed to order a few xmas pressies on line at lunch time though so that's something accomplished off my personal 'to do' list.

As I left work I noticed that the light was already starting to fade and it was really cold - winter is definitely arriving. Whacked on the heating as soon as I got home and made a very early tea as I'm on a sort of one meal a day diet thing at the moment. I have a smoothie for breakfast, a smoothie for lunch and then a proper meal in the evening. So far so good; sure I'm hungry when I get home but nothing I can't cope with.

This evening I have to keep awake until gone 11pm to pick Peter up from the station. I find nights like this really difficult as my natural 'pass out' time is about 9.30! Trouble is that there's nothing good to watch on the box - Tuesday nights are dire at the moment.
