I went to see, with my friend Kerry McSq, a play tonight in town.. currently the hot ticket.
It’s called The Unicorn.

If you don’t know.. a unicorn is the name given to a ( younger ) female introduced into a heterosexual marriage ( bedroom ) to spice up the sex.
The unicorn bit comes from the fact that these willing and younger ( attractive ) females that would want to do that, are extremely rare.
If you find one that ticks all those boxes that isn’t a serial killer/ blackmailer or convict / sex traffic victim.. then you are indeed ‘ lucky ‘.

I know a bit about this anyway, because I did briefly date a lady a few years ago who after her marriage had ended, said she’d embarked on a journey of sexual discovery, and had got involved as a Third Wheel in a marriage.

She had described herself as a Unicorn… though at the time I did think that ( although she wasn’t altogether unattractive ) I certainly wouldn’t have put her into the ‘ mythical creature’ category.

That would have been certainly contrary to the Fairytale Descriptions Act, if there was one.
I won’t mention her name of course.

Donkey with an ice cream cone held onto her head with an elastic band… comes to mind.

Well… it would seem that perhaps ( or it’s likely ) that I’ve had a UTI all of the time since September 2023.
It’s been ‘ dampened ‘ by me drinking 7 litres of water every day, plus supplements to improve bladder health… BUT a urine test showed that the antibiotic I’ve routinely used… is the wrong one for the infection I’ve had.

So it’s possible… that my 18 months of dire, dire sleep ( every single night ) might not be for much longer.
I can only hope though.
Let’s see what happens over the next week or so.
I did get 5 hours straight sleep 2 nights ago, and that just doesn’t happen to me.. unless I’m so tired through endless nights of not sleeping that my body just gives up and sleeps through the spasms anyway.
I’m feeling optimistic… 😊

I’m just going to a play.
It’s called ‘ Picture You Dead’

I have to say that when I booked tickets ages ago.. I did think how funny it would have been to invite a ‘ certain person’ and say I’d booked it especially in their honour.

Every time I think about, it’s makes me laugh. A lot.

But anyway, I didn’t send the invite.

Perhaps that person is reading this though and will appreciate my humour…

UTI’s.
Non stop spasms.
Dire lack of sleep.

That’s been my life for quite a while now.
Sure, I press on and do stuff, but F me, it’s wearing.
SCI – the gift that keeps on giving. It just gets more complicated the longer you live, seems to me.

Anyway (!) what I am looking forward to is my new ( surprise ) brother meeting quite a few of his new ( surprise ) family in Wales soon.
Having organised a party, my brother, his wife and my 2 nieces will soon meet quite a few people they didn’t know existed until recently.
Party on…!

Suz and I have been to see Franz Ferdinand in Shepherds Bush and my friend Flipper and I saw Backstroke at the Donmar, to name just a couple of things I’ve been up to.
But tbh I’ve been in a bit of a semi Zombie state for a while through lack of sleep.

I’ve changed my diet to see if that lessens my spasms, as well as gone on different medications… but nothing seems to help.

What’s a fella to do?
It’s certainly testing me, I’ll tell you that.
