Ennui.

Oh gosh, it’s election day. And given my proclivities I feel like I should have an awful lot to say on the matter. But really, I’m just holding my breath until the polls are closed and hoping that the Conservatives don’t gain enough seats to form a majority government. Fortunately that’s looking less plausible today than it was five weeks ago, so I can probably skip some of the polling coverage without having nightmares, but we’ll see how close it looks.

I’m settling in back here at work, for at least a couple of days this week and all of the two following weeks which is just enough time to re-establish my routine before heading east again. No matter how regimented I try to be, I still find that time changes and airplane days get me all screwed up and my writing and working out is less than it should be while on the road. On this last trip I managed to maintain some of it (and get some really great swimming workouts in) but still, I feel out of sorts today as though I have barely done anything in ages. Will rectify that at the gym later this morning.

Insomnia the last few nights has me a bit draggy at the moment, though I slept okay last night. I suppose cold, insomnia and axiety have totalled up to that. Hopefully this week irons some of those wrinkles out so as to inspire me here a little more.

I’ve got lots of stuff in my head at the moment including a piece for Viaduct, and some posts on reading and literature here – but my overall ennui has left me (and you) with this most banal of updates. Just to say I did it.

More soon I’m sure.
