NoJoMo 11

tired tired tired. so very very tired.

Last night was a bit of a mess. Everyone was running late and 2 hours after I arrived we were still waiting for a few girls to turn up. Needless to say we hadn’t started the movie yet and it was time for me to leave.
I left at about 11, they were half way through the bottle of tequila and in the process of ordering Thai food.

I got about 3 hours of sleep last night. Getting up at 3:30am wasn’t fun.
I was just on airport standby though, so I sat on the couch in the crew room at work for 8 hours watching mind-numbing tv.
Oh and I watched burlesque on dvd too. Christina Aguilera is so hot, but can’t act for shit.
I was so happy to get home, only to realise the power was out. 
If I had attempted to read a book or do some crafts to keep myself busy I would have just fallen asleep, so I went shopping.

Went to wilkos and bought a boatload of stuff we needed for the flat.
Also stopped at the butcher and the market.
£2.80 for stewing beef and £1.10 for carrots, potatoes and onions. That’s beef stew for less than £4! I always forget that going to the market is often cheaper than buying stuff in asda or tesco, and supporting local business makes me feel much better.

And I bought the most delicious soup for supper!
(Getting up early makes me do fun stuff like have supper at 4:30pm)
New Covent Garden Soup Co has a competition on their cartons where you can win a farm. how strange.

I have to be up at 4am tomorrow.
That’s 11 hours from now. 
I’d really like to be in bed in the next 2 hours, and truth be told I don’t think I’m going have a choice, I’ll just fall asleep on the couch if I don’t fall asleep in bed.
Before I go, today’s questions:

1. Post a "Day in the Life" entry. 

There is no such thing as a "typical day" in my life. Working shifts will turn your life upside down.

2. What was the best advice you were ever given? Did you take that advice? How did it turn out?

Always wear comfortable shoes. I’m a big fan of this advice.

3. What do you dream about most often? 

Things I worry about and things that are on my mind seem to pop up in my dreams a lot.
I used to have frequent dreams about zombies… all the time.
Graphic, terrifying, horrible zombie dreams. It got so bad it was haunting me even when I was awake.
I finally went to go see some crazy lady Saru recommended to cleanse my mind/ soul/ aura/ insides. To be honest I’m not really sure what the hell she did, but it fucking worked. It’s been about 3 years now and I’ve only had 1 zombie dream since seeing her and I remember not being scared- like I was watching a movie and it was all pretend.
I’ve had a lot of people ask if it was just a placebo, but to be frank I really don’t care if it was, I’m just happy it worked.
I remember saying to her "I feel so stupid, this irrational fear of something that’s not even real"
Her reply was "but they’re real to you".
And I thought, finally, someone who understands.
I’m still scared of zombies, but they’re no longer invading my dreams and my thoughts, I don’t lie in bed waiting for them to come into my bedroom, and I don’t run from my car to my front door when I’m alone in the dark anymore.
