I've Got the Fidgets. The Bouncies.
The old Ants-in-the-Pants.
Possibly I'm suffering from Twitter withdrawal symptoms. Or possibly I'm suffering from the long-term, adverse effects of high dose Ibuprofen.
Either way I'm practically bouncing of the walls. An excess of energy, mild confusion, a difficulty concentrating and a general sense of restlessness.
It's similar to the sensation of really badly needing to urinate. But can't because there's a queue. So you find yourself constantly shifting from one foot to the other. That's actually one of the adverse effects. The constant, but false, need to urinate.
The word I've chosen to best describe this situation is; "Antsy." Defined by the Cambridge English Dictionary as;
"Very nervous, worried, or unpleasantly excited."
It is also deliciously onomatopoeic. Capturing the sensation of your skin wanting to run away.
As for the Gout it's much better. Although I'm worried that the residual, radiating heat may still be enough to melt a snowflake.
So allow me to reassure you.
The end of this road is one step beyond Sergei Skripal in the Intensive Care/Treatment Unit (IC/TU) of a Salisbury hospital. Let's assign that the numerical value; "10."
I currently have little more than a toe hold on that road. Let's assign that the numerical value; "0.25."
I will though reserve the right to describe myself as;
"Feeling a bit Skripally."
