Bulletin from the sleep-deprived
Some day, some day soon, I will work out why it is I can never sleep before traveling or interviews. Or anything I need to set an alarm for. My subconscious immediately starts fretting, waking me up at 4 am to check it’s not 7.15. And 6 am, to double-check. My (not-so) secret weakness is how I turn into a bundle of nerves at the drop of a hat. Careful breathing helps, but I’ve yet to master the art of controlling my breathing and falling back asleep at the same time.
But who cares! I’m at the airport, on my way to Germany! Munich, then Berlin. Apparently it’s raining over there, but IT’S NOT WORK, so it’s all good.
And in other news, I’ve been promoted! My parents are delighted as this is the kind of steady permanent position all our parents want us to get. I’m in two minds (as always) but at least my sweetheart can’t legitimately give me orders any more. On paper.
Munich ahoy!

Enjoy Munich! Fabulous city, and I hope you two get to go to Ludwig’s castles.

AWVC uses the Markdown formatting system, a very simple way to format your comments. Whitespace is converted directly. Enclose a phrase with asterisks to italicise, and two asterisks (**) to embolden. A good introduction to the Markdown format is available here.
Cleverly, though, the preview is basically useless (it will just show what you've typed). If you want a real preview, enter your text into the Markdown Dingus, then re-enter it here.
