The title says it all

Back again! I've come to realise that there is a complex equation that explains the frequency and regularity of my blog entries. Key variables are:

  • boredom at work, which has the effect of increasing my likelihood to blog
  • dull sex life, which has the opposite effect due to lack of things to blog about
  • things in the news that excite, anger or amuse me. The Tsunami, while a massive world event/tragedy, is not something I've got an opinion. Oh, thinking about it I do have an opinion on the idiots who say it has happened because the people weren't being good Muslims/Christians/Buddhists/Hindus (*delete as apprpriate).


Anyway, boredom at work (which means not a lot of work to do) has spurred me to blogging.
I went to see Jenny a couple of weeks ago. I was out at a drinks event with colleagues and went from there, pretty early in the evening actually, to Jenny's new place.
I think I am seeing a pattern in my behaviour. I am out drinking and I catch the eye of some pretty girl in the bar. Now, instead of going to chat to the young lady in question the drink and my raised libido make me think "I know, I'll go a fuck a prostitute". I suppose I cannot be bothered to put the effort into chatting to someone new or risk by fragile ego being broken by a blow-off.
Anyway, pretty normal session with Jen. Different thing was that it was in her new flat and it has been quite a while since I saw her last. She was puppy-dog pleased to see me when I came in the door. After we had fucked twice we both collapsed on the bed. "I'm so tired" she said. We cuddled and I felt myself drifting off to sleep before the nagging awareness of the need to go home dragged me back to consciousness.
After my shower I got dressed sitting on her bed. We were both drowsy and I flung myself back. "Can I stay here" I yawned. "Yes do" she said, perking up. So I did.

Knife in the back

I have had a real bad time on the health front over the last few weeks. I have had a really painful lower back area. I had an MRI scan and the doc says it is a disc that is protruding into the nerves in my spine. Apart from surgery, there is no cure. But thankfully, as my quack predicted, it is healing itself with the help of anti-inflammatory drugs as well as some really trippy painkillers.

I've never been a recreational drug user but this Codeine that I have been taking really gives you a nice warm feeling. It's an opiate so I guess it is a scaled down, poor man's version of heroine. I took slightly more than the recommended dosage one day and was really spaced out. Certainly didn't feel any pain.

Now this back pain may have been the result of over exertion, either in the gym or the bed. So I have been going easy with the weights and have abstained from shagging. To be honest the drugs have taken the edge of my raging libido so I don't feel deprived. However, just been reading some of Olympia's recent entries and I now feel the need to sow my seed.

Do I have enough cash?

BTW got Christmas message from Carmel. From her phone number I think she is back in the city we met. No doubt working. More later.
