Sunday 11th Sept

I have a thumping headache from the lorazepam withdrawal today so this may wander around a bit.

Last night I made the mistake of taking two phone calls instead of going straight to bed after I had my last pill. Talking properly to friends was such an unusual experience that it gave me enough of an adrenaline boost to keep me awake against the pills for an hour longer than I really needed to be.

That in turn led to a big crash when I did finally go to bed. Such an exciting day was enough to completely exhaust me and I slept till about 11 this morning. Still having the nightmares but this time I was so tired that I was able to go straight back to sleep each time they woke me up.

I think I watched the Grand Prix and the last stage of the Vuelta this afternoon but I cant remember anything about them. I might have been asleep through parts of them. Actually I know I watched the GP as my facebook chat has history of me talking to someone about it while it was on.

I have also kept my string of international friend contacts going. Last nights calls were San Francisco and London (it's not Scotland so it is International to me) and this evening has been a decent length facebook chat from Miami. Although I did also get an email from Edinburgh and both a short facebook chat and an email reply from inside Aberdeenshire as well.
