Got up for work and ironed my clothes before heading to open up. I followed the instructions from the previous week but discovered I wasn't doing those colours actually, I was back on my favourite job again for which I've accrued a lot of overtime. Not to worry, I soon changed colours again.
I'm in the final half of the book I'm reading and I've had about ten others arrive from eBay over the last week. I'm really enjoying life with my sky box unplugged. I've still got a massive queue of Netflix etc waiting but whilst the overtime is around, I'm ok not watching it much.
Besides I've still got my Medium Interviews project to complete and that will take priority. I started it ten months ago. I am hibernating in some form or another. As I read in bed last night, I thought of friends I haven't seen a great deal of and thought 'I should visit really' but a stronger feeling of enjoying what I was doing took over. Surely my own pleasure comes first. Well it does even if it shouldn't.
I'm considering staying late late tonight as opposed to just late. I want to cash in while overtime is still available. Two hours to go before the regular workers start to disappear home for the day. I'm also looking forward to having my time back though to visit the cinema and work on my writing. My writing desk is sat ready and willing but alas I'm busy.
I'm content in the knowledge that after tonight i'll see my boy everyday for six days in a row. It makes for a great sense of contentment.
The hot weather is still with us; its been an incredible summer actually. I hoped 2013 would be a standout year but even though its only August, I don't think it's quite as good as 2012 for me. My short list of things to accomplish (watch 365 films in the year) is going well and my rules to live to have been followed (be less visible, diary comes first, shave more). But there's still some magical ingredient missing which last year made for a belter.
2014 is probably going to be devoted to reading and writing. I will watch films at my leisure rather than pushing them on myself one a day where possible. Each year should bring some reward though and I have enjoyed be targets set. At least when I look back on an individual year, I will be able to say I achieved this....
