Then when I go to the grocery store I take the other car. <br /><br />Re 5 am waking: it's what GPs here call 'early morning waking' and if you tell them you do that then they start to ask questions about your stress levels. So... are you stressed?! ;)<br /><br />Re Blog following: it is a total mystery to me. As is twitter.
