It must have been past ten pm last night as tiredness crept into my eyes as caffeine subsided and my thoughts turned to my newly warmed bed. I had received an electric blanket from my mum for Christmas and had soon wondered how I'd lived without one. Anyway, as my legs agitated me even while on the footstool, I swapped my unused leather armchair with my much used and worn cushioned couch. A few inches too wide for its new location, my couch sat awkwardly at an angle which made it look daft. My armchair was nicely positioned right in front of my tv. I cast a glance to see if the couch would go across the opposite wall to where it currently sat and set about moving it a second time. A tidy up followed and then I sat for another half an hour with my newly set up front room. It felt good having a change in my surroundings.
I awoke at 4am from a dream where I was an actor who kissed Jennifer Lawrence on the cheek. Also in my dream I heard 'Stand Inside Your Love' by The Smashing Pumpkins- a great song. I watched the last two episodes of Breaking Bad series 4 on my ipad in my bed. Then I returned to sleep once more.
At 8:30am I got up and tidied some more before reading Clive Barker's 'Abarat'.
It's too early to vacuum but that is next on my agenda. With this year drawing to a close, my mind is looking to my favourite day of the year- New Year's Day. I think my approach to next year is to not have any other direction other than 'not to be so hard on myself by making resolutions'. I want the year to be a breeze and an escape from my own expectations. I'm not ready to have a new partner, that much is clear, but more of an interaction with society- friends in particular- would be a step forward.
I'm in hopeful spirits today that next year will be a good one (although bad news must be an ever more likely prospect mustn't it? As time moves on)
