Gaaaahhhhhhhh
Some days at work just make me want to SHOUT at EVERYONE.
I dunno why some days do that – it’s the same crap as always, the same bad planning, the same lack of useful process, the same garbage as every other day, but some days you can let it wash over you, deal with it and enjoy the good bits.
And then there’s days like today – where every minor thing is a huge annoyance, every little problem is a major hurdle and every moment is a struggle to stay afloat above the miasma of turgid process.
I’m not sure you can use Miasma and Turgid to describe the same thing – it’s probably overkill but I love both words. So you’ll just have to deal with it.
Contact!
What we did manage to achieve this week, is getting back in touch with the friends we lost touch with when we moved. Which is a bit scary considering we didn’t move city, and we only went about 1.5 miles, and none of them lived near us anyway.
But, still, we visited Andy last Sunday and we’re going to see Chris and Christine on Friday, and it’s good to be back in touch. I think we’re going to try and continue this period of reaching out! You could be next!
So, I suck
I know, I know, I suck. Entire months pass before I get around to writing new blog entries. And then when I do, they’re mostly apologising for not writing blog entries. Other people seem to write exciting things or funny things, or deep-thinking things, and I just spend my time apologising for not getting around to writing any boring stuff about my life that none of you are interested in reading anyway 🙂
We painted some of the small bedroom over the last couple of weeks. Sanded some woodwork, painted the window sill and the radiator. We’ve bought the paint for the ceiling and walls, so they’re next on the list. Once that’s done hopefully we’ll be able to move some stuff into the room semi-permanently (exactly what is still open for debate) to free up space in the big room, and allow us to do something with that. Feels good to be doing something with the house, after such a long time.
Nearly finished paying of the loan, omg that’s such good news. 7 years we’ve been paying that back, and only 1 or 2 payments left to go. I’ve got high hopes for the extra spare cash but I suspect it’ll be going on bills for a while yet, but fingers crossed it should make things a little easier.
My diabetes is still there and still meaning lots of of changes to what and how I eat, still not under control enough to keep the doctor happy but blood sugar average has been down for the last 3 tests (8 months) so as far as I’m concerned, that’s the right direction. Had my eye test last week, and it’s clean, no eye damage which was a huge relief.
We’re thinking about considering thinking about possibly going to Maelstrom this year, but time scales are already tight, and cash is even tighter. We’ll see.
