Hi Jeffn - I am still around - maybe our posts have crossed. Was quiet for a few days - couldn't really concentrate enough to put together anything worth saying - simply ran out of steam and my brain hurt to think

I had my last session with my psychologist today. She has told me that I should focus on maintaining my current schedule to have better quality time in my current awake time - in other words stop thinking about trying to stay awake all day as all that does is tire me. I just feel so .................dunno......... the words to describe it. She is also anti the "stay awake drug" - provigal - she hadn't heard about it but thought that anything artificial will end up with a crash as the physical self can't maintain the pace. I guess that does make sense but at least it would give me an option.

Work is also not great at the moment as I can't keep up with the new technology - like the registration of the transfer of property ( when land and houses etc is sold) is now computerised and is done by solicitors and no longer goes by paper transactions to the Land Transfer Office - in my short working day I don't have time to keep up with my work load and learn - I am now a very slow learner. I have managed to fob it off to my secretary but should be supervising as I am responsible for the transaction - I keep thinking this is an accidend waiting to happen -

Anyway enough of my moans - I actually don't think that I have had egg nog - some do have it over here - but Christmas is in the summer for us - we tend to have strawberries and barbeques - sparkling wines - though I must admit we (my family - what's left of it! ) tend to stick with the traditional roast turkey, ham and Christmas pudding.

I will be having approx a month off work as our Law firm closes on 21 December and reopens 21 January - kind of compulsery holiday - can't wait, but this year I am going to be smarter and plan my days so that I know what I am doing - or it will be like the weekends with me unable to decide what to do today the entire time!!

I don't think we have heard from Lori for some time

Lori = where are you and are you ok??????
