Punkin - after the maelstrom of MLC, boring is good. I love your description of it as an induced social coma. I love my slightly comatose state - like being on valium with no side effects. I have some glorious fleece pjs that I have been known to get into as early as 7pm [on those occasions I tend not to go out again, so as not to cause comment]. Now that is what I call life in the fast lane.
