Cozy Pyjamas

When I was drinking and falling into bed I rarely if ever cared what I was wearing. In a drunken stupor I usually just discarded enough clothes to resemble some semblance of sleeping attire, sometimes not even doing that just sleeping in all my clothes. Now, I went and bought a few sets of cozy sweatpants type pyjama wear and really like the ritual of getting ready for bed in proper and more importantly temperature correct bed clothing. Maybe it’s because it winter but it’s pleasant to watch TV or read in nice pyjamas. I also bought myself a new posh electric toothbrush so now I get all cleaned up before going to bed. I realize it’s a bit trivial but these types of ritual behaviors are new, make me happy and are a positive symbol of getting healthier. Looking forward to tonight. The wife will be late in tonight as she’s at a conference. Normally, I’d take this as an excuse to over imbibe but now I’ll put on my new pyjamas and binge watch the new TV show The Day of the Jackal. Sometimes it’s the small things that have a big impact.
