Work in Progess

It's almost 6am and I'm still not asleep. Sitting in front of a laptop trying to think of something to blog about certainly isn't helping but the idea of lying awake for what will seem like hours is in no way more appealing.

It's not that I have trouble sleeping, it's more that I have trouble sleeping at the same time as everyone else. I finish work late and need a couple of hours for my body to unwind and my brain to slow down, before I know it it's 6am again and I'm sitting in front of the laptop trying to think of something to blog about.

I feel at my best when it's dark outside and it seems like the rest of the world is sleeping. It's almost as if time is standing still and I'm the only who knows it.

I watched Little Miss Sunshine, it reminded me of my desire to jump in a car and drive across America. It always looks cool in the Movies. Unfortunately a few things stand in my way.
1) I'm not in America, need to have some way of getting there.
2) I don't hold a drivers license, need to get me one of those.
3) I don't have much money, need to start saving.

We had a family day out the other day and it made me realize that not being able to drive meant our schedule was completely reliant on bus timetables, we ended up having to kill time waiting for a bus to take us from one town to the next, which then meant we had to speed around an exhibition we'd been wanting to check out because it was closing soon. Had I been able to drive we'd have been able to use our time more affectively and we'd be able to places that aren't on a bus route.

So my main goal for 2009 is to get a drivers license or to at least get some lessons.
