We would normally no drive to Florida but with COVID thought it was safer. This also allowed us to bring things for our kids houses that we wouldn’t be able to do when flying. We are driving 2.5 hours south to West Palm Beach tonight. I really want to make a trip to Miami while I am there because it is only 70 miles away. Miami is a different world altogether and a fun place to go to.

I love road trips Florida sounds like a great place for a road trip actually. I always think of that song about Florida Keys, Key Largo I think? I can’t remember who sang it, I might have to google it

I just realised that’s a completely different song after looking on YouTube and although I like the too, I can’t actually remember the song that I was thinking of......


Edit. I found it! Kokomo: The Beach Boys

I am super lost. Just saying. I think maybe you have to be a parent. Not to know the Beachboys but the other one maybe.

So, of course I had to look up the year agadoo was released - 1984. I was 5 but there is something about that song etched into the soul of every Brit

When I die I'll take that song with me in my head. That is frightening

Don’t feel bad Suze, I had to google it too. But at least those on the other side of the pond didn’t have to put up with their kids watching Barney.

I wake up every morning between 4-5am, and therefore cannot stay awake much after 9.30. I think I'm getting the sleep my body needs, but I'm going to try to shift my sleep patterns back by an hour or so. Trouble is - I physically can't stay awake in the evening to do this!

First world problems

When I woke up this morning - no hangover, no sweats, no fuzzy mouth - I thought to myself - 'This is how normal people wake up'. I still view no drinking as a novelty and it surprises me to remember that it's actually the normality for almost all the world

I remember having that same conversation with my partner, I had the sense of that that was just how 'other' people lived their lives - I quickly opened another bottle before getting too wrapped up in that thought (as soon as the clock struck midday!)

I will be spending the majority of the day in bed today, night shift awaits...

Love Billy x

Thinking of waking up like normal people, hangover-free and not feeling shaky, with a racing heart, a heavy head and dry mouth. It’s so good waking up like normal people. It’s also good to remind myself of how awful I felt when I woke up after drinking, because I forget how awful it was. It really was dreadful. I don’t want to feel that dreadful awful post-drinking feeling ever again. The after effects of drinking are abysmal.

And another thing is going to bed like normal people, not feeling really heavy headed. Not worrying about trying really hard to not breathe wine fumes on my partner. As if I could stop breathing. I remember trying to hold my breath, and face the other way, as if that would have stopped the smell of alcohol on my breath. Normal people don’t have to try not to breathe..... every night.....

I’m going to bed now like a normal person now. And it’s so good
Night everyone
I hope you get a good sleep before night shift Billy x
