I couldn't sleep

So I'm up, I've eaten and I'm now spending the final 15 minutes before I leave the house blogging! This type of behaviour only ever comes about if I've had a bout of insomnia, which I have.

I don't really know what has caused it. I have been thinking about my future of late but it's not something that has been keeping me away.

I have just applied for a job that isn’t something I want to do for more than a year and would involve a very long commute. However, it gets me up a grade, which is something I've been trying to do for ages, so is a tactical move.

Making tactical moves and being prepared to wait for a while for something isn't really me, hence my rather large credit card bills! Don't get me wrong, I'm immensely patient with people I'm just not that patient with events.

Ideally over the next few months I'd be doing everything in my power to raise enough money for a move to Hong Kong. If I do get the job I've applied for it would mean I'd be able to save a lot more money but it would also mean having to put my plans back at least 12 months and being me I would rather be there now!!

I don't know when my impatient streak came about because as a child I was very good at saving money and waiting for films to come out.

I guess somewhere along the way I realised that waiting can also mean that you miss out on the life that's happening around you or ultimately make the wrong choice and be very disappointed. Hmm... I suppose the trick is balancing the two so at least my finances can deal with my impulses.
