This and That

A bit of retail therapy today, in anticipation of being skint very soon (said therapy pretty much guarantees that!). Most importantly, I bought a new jacket for while the weather is still a bit bobbins: I won’t describe the horror that was my only other coat suited to the weather, but suffice it to say this was a necessary purchase.

I’ve been trying to track down someone who would move the rest of my stuff into the flat for less than £50. This is an uncertain situation at the moment, but even if it does cost £50, it’s being done next Thursday or Friday. I hope I can get it cheaper, but enough’s enough.

I decided to re-read some H.P. Lovecraft recently. I realised it’d been about ten years at least since I’d read any of his stuff—I have a three-volume set of his work I bought eons ago.

Lethargy

Monday was a fairly lethargic day. Batteries are recharging slowly. My insomnia hasn’t improved much, by the way. 🙂

Reflections

I’m going through a period of reflection at the moment. I still feel strange. I can’t turn my feelings on and off at will.

Many thanks to those who have e-mailed me today. Knowing a few people care and understand makes this a little easier—there are always doubts and fears around such a difficult decision. Contact with others makes me feel less alone in this.

Taking Control

Still I find myself contemplating the meaning of life, but in some respects this has taken a more positive direction.

I am, in general, feeling considerably more determined to make my life more ordered and less stressful. I don’t have a full set of answers right now, but I’m lucky to be finding writing—both the stuff I complete and numerous scraps I fiddle with and toss aside—increasingly cathartic again. One of the things that stopped me writing much was that I produced something that kinda scared me a bit, during a really dark period, around the early Summer of 1999. But that’s history.

Being Positive

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.
