Last night I had an even worse night sleep! I woke at about 2.40 am and I was up and restless for about the next hour. I eventually managed to get back to sleep waking at about 6.50 am and having had around eight hours sleep. I had a leisurely breakfast, made my lunch for the day, washed up the pots and then headed for a shower.

I've been having problems sleeping the past few days and I've also been struggling with the side effects of the antidepressants the doctor put me on. I've had the loss of appetite, feeling more anxious, heart palpitations and attention difficulties in the week leading up to my holiday. Great ... I know it's all a temporary though and that these meds always make things a bit worse before they start to make things better and that they're a means to an end. They help to regulate the chemistry in my brain until I'm able to do that again myself.

I have been back from my holiday Shrewsbury in Shropshire for about a week now, so it's about time I wrote some blog posts about it. So they aren't too long I will split them up into few, so each day will most likely have a blog post of its own. Starting with the travel day.

My last holiday was about two years ago to Glasgow with a friend of mine. We stayed in a hotel in the city centre for a couple of days. My previous holiday before that was in about 2006, so this one is long overdue. I'm really quite excited about it!!! I've been talking and thinking about a holiday for a few years but not done much more than a bit of research into hotels and some things to see and do as well as a few places to eat out.
