Day Sweats

Of late of I found that I am prone to breaking out into what can only be described as "day sweats" - these can be broken down into three distinct categories;
1. Shopping Sweats - it's that moment when you walk into a shop and are faced with a product that you really want, but really really don't need - it's that long lost Ivor Cutler CD, it's that special edition of It Came From Outer Space, with the 30 seconds extra footage of the flying saucer, it's that useless gadget - the clip on book reading light and it's that one off exclusively made shirt with the frilly sleeve. Oh yes, these items can send you to the edge of despair in a single lunch time. The sweat begins to form as you weigh up the possibilities, buy or not to buy - and nearly always you end up at the counter facing the sales assistant, your face awash with sweat, looking like you've just stepped out of the shower, you hand over the offending item from your sweaty paws. Later that night you play, wear or use the item for the first and last time.
2. Normal Everyday Exertion Sweats - These are simply sweats which come about by doing nothing out of the ordinary. Walking up a steep street on a sunny Autumn day in a poorly chosen coat can bring on said sweat. So can a bit of house hoovering. Not to mention carrying a full bag of swag from the meat market after Saturday auctions.
3. Psycho-Sweats. These little blighters can let the cat out the bag at forty paces if your not careful. They can be brought about by...Realizing you were supposed to meet a friend for lunch an hour ago, while you are eating the sandwiches which you brought ten minutes ago. By being woken up in the middle of an important business meeting by the phrase, "are you getting all this down!!" And of course by your wife, when she remarks, "Why don't we get a new kitchen" In fact the mere mention of any kind of DIY connected subject can reduce yours truly to a slippery wet puddle on the living room carpet.
So, am turning into a compulsive shopper, getting to old, or developing a deep embedded decease of the brain. Jesus, I'm getting a sweat on, I better stop...
