tired and grumpy and old

i am quite tired and a little grumpy today owing to a few drinks and a bad bout of insomnia last night after the election-night party at the wise. i drink so rarely these days, i forget how wrecked my body feels the next day after even one or two beers sometimes. it’s really unfortunate, but i think i’m getting to the point where i really don’t want to ingest alcohol very often at all. all this clean-country living has turned me into some total stranger but wow am i glad my body is finally learning to recognize toxic substances.

anyhow – i think the election results were decent, and having a funded ndp-opposition should make some marginal difference if we keep them accountable to bringing up the issues in the legislature that matter.

i’m feeling old today, and cynical, and sick of my job, and worn out from being a union rep (have another disciplinary hearing with a member today) – and if it wasn’t for the hearing this afternoon i would just go home early and take the rest of the day for mental health. a good night’s sleep tonight should cure me for tomorrow.
