Okay, first entry of the New Year! But not much to say, really, except I hope everyone is recovering from the holiday period nicely—the even greater than usual degree of inactivity has left me personally feeling more lethargic than usual! But I’m generally feeling positive and geared toward doing more constructive things.

Well, parents just went to bed a short while ago. Before this, around 3:00am, mom decided to hand me my card and present since we were all up late and it was basically Xmas Day anyway. As I suspected, I got a mobile phone.
Fiddling around with my new toy, I did manage to not watch the original 1931 Frankenstein movie, which is just about finished now. Fancied seeing it… been ages since I watched it. Oh well.

Not a bad day. Didn’t get up very early, but did drop into Dudley for a spot of retail therapy.
I bought myself a floppy, navy blue hat. And some gloves. Needed new gloves. Just thinking about the weather. So boring practical retail therapy at that!

Hmmm… only three days to go for the Big Event now. I feel an overload of humbugs coming on already.
Still, I have New Year’s to look forward to?! I want to spend the ‘cabbage time’ until then contemplating how I go about sorting my life out. Must be constructive. Depression and despair leads to nowhere. Someone recently told me that focusing on good things is important—not always an easy feat, but sound advice. It’s all too easy to consider yourself a total failure, but doing something about it… that’s a challenge.

I feel a bit better. I just had to go out, and it involved a fair bit of walking and it’s true that this does clear the head somewhat. I’d been a total cabbage all week so far. Activity is a great tonic; inactivity is a terrible rut.

I was very down yesterday. I’m still feeling pretty lousy. The weekend generally went okay. Today was generally dull. I’m fighting against my depression at… Read More »The Blues Are Back
It’s been a cold day. I did manage to pull myself out of bed, but the duvet sure was warm and inviting. Still, things to… Read More »It’s Only Money
Yesterday was beyond dull, and I could not even invent anything remotely interesting to say about it. Which of course beggars the question, why am I even mentioning it?
Today has been a bit more interesting in a typically dull to anyone but myself kind of way. The guy from Telewest came to install my phone line in the flat this morning—I was given the times 8:00am-12:00pm, but quite contrary to any expected last-minute arrival, he turned up at 10:30, and was done in five minutes. All seems to be working fine, so that’s another thing sorted out.

Well… another weekend almost over. And it was mostly a very good one.
Friend did get into Brum at 11:00pm Friday night, and I arrived just a few minutes later. A quick hug, then we had a Friday night meal in one of the local Indian restaurants.

Our beloved train service strikes again. The train a friend I’m meeting up with should have caught around 6:00pm was cancelled. Ergo, the anticipated arrival in Birmingham at 9:00pm now looks more like 11:00pm! This leaves me with little to do right now except write this and have a moan about how crap the trains are.
