I have got through the last fortnight by the judicious use of coffee and whiskey. Before anyone makes any smart remarks about that being how I get thought life all the time, I’ve been drinking more of both than I normally do, which in the case of the coffee, is a little frightening, even to me. And between that starting to catch up with me, and the stress of jury service (which is much, much, more tiring and stressful than I’d expected), I am utterly exhausted. So I’m going to meditate for a while, and then collapse into bed very early, in a effort to make my brain work again.
