Pre working

You know that feeling about working over, when you don't want to do it but know you'll be glad that you did? That's what I had yesterday. Thirteen and a half hours was managed by having my headphones on and listening to Embrace 'This New a Day' and Kate Nash 'Girl Talk'. It was my body who threw the towel in not my mind. 

I have some large runs coming in at work so I guess I need to stay in the correct mindset for longer yet. 

I'm three quarters of the way through reading Divergent and whilst I thought 'how can they make a film out of this?', I watched the good trailer and saw all the bits I'd read look cool. 

This week I've drank more tea than coffee and it has been much nicer and enjoyable. Also a glass of water a day is creeping back after I let it slip for three weeks. 

I seem to have my life well balanced and that makes me happy. My son is at his holiday club today and will spend the following two days at home with his mum which I'm glad about. I feel sorry for him being on the school premises when not at school. 

Well I better get back to it. 

Completion of Medium Interviews?

I greeted the day with a "Morning day!" And then realised that Darren Day's partner says that every morning. Last night was as productive as I could have hoped them to be and I finished our last investigation notes and review. I even commandeered our websites build codes so I could post what I'd written on there myself from now on.

Well I'm still at work due to my printing machine needing its grippers resetting as it was ripping up paper. Out goes any chance of my hair cutting tonight. One hours overtime won't prove too much of a distraction from my writing tonight. 'Roll with the punches'. 

I haven't been to the cinema nearly as much as I feel I should've. I have a floating thought that I may go tonight much later though. 

It would be nice to only watch cinema stuff for a spell so that I'm ahead of the game, I don't have sky tv after all. 

My son will be having his karate lesson tonight. I'd love to see him in his gear punching some pads shouting 'Saa!'. He's so gorgeous and tells me not to tell him so, so many times.

My good lord , have I actually just finished my Medium Interviews? It feels like it. I've sent a copy to the contributors to look at and approve. 

Now I get to watch tv. 

The best ME?

I greeted the day with a "Morning day!" And then realised that Darren Day's partner says that every morning. Last night was as productive as I could have hoped them to be and I finished our last investigation notes and review. I even commandeered our websites build codes so I could post what I'd written on there myself from now on. 

Tonight is also a writing night mostly and I'm looking forward to getting further on in my work. I'm surprised at my own ability to structure my time accordingly. 

My father is still e mailing me on the whole and I reply straight away although I still have to wait for a week before he replies and it's usually as if a new conversation has begun rather than a continuation. It is what it is. 

Is this latest ME the best ME I've ever been? It's close for sure. There were times when I was going to the gym and so in better shape but that was also when my soul inside was shattered. 

I am well aware of how life is a continual shift through 'phases' and that makes me enjoy 'now' all the more. Kids are growing up, friends growing old and elders dying. Everyone is on a slow hill slide until we all drop into the abyss. 

So for fucks sake, cheer up. 

Feeling fine

This Monday feels like my working week will be normal hours and I welcome that. After finishing a ghost write up yesterday I have decided to put my energies into finishing my Medium Interviews by working on it each night. Playing second fiddle to that is my finishing Arrow and Breaking Bad series 5. It will feel good conquering those. 

Spring can't come fast enough for me. 2014 has started with such a fresh buzz of joy and its made me be the most productive I've ever been. I bloody love my life. 

Tonight I will see my son for tea and I've chosen a pirate ship toy for us to play with as our entertainment. I'm sure he'd rather we were at mine playing Lego Movie PS3 game.   

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

As ELO's Mr Blue Sky plays over the radio and the clock ticks to signify only 45 minutes of work left, I'm in good spirits. 

Work has elements which I have to ignore but ignoring stuff is one of my strengths. On the whole I'm even happy at work. 

I simply don't recognise my life from even 8 years ago. 

Hell is other people. 

Mid February weekend 2014

My son dictated that our time together would be dominated by playing his new Lego Movie PS3 game and even cancelled us going to see the movie itself for its second viewing. We did follow through with our promise to go to Eureka in Halifax to see its new exhibition called 'Space Is Ace'. It wasn't ace. Just sayin'. 

We still had a good time in the usual fun of the museum until I had to drag him home to his mums and pick up his brother. I took my stepson straight to mine and we ate pizza as he played Assassin's Creed Black Flag on PS4. This went on from 5 till 11 pm and I was glad to hit my bed. 

I got up on Sunday and watched 3 episodes of Vic and Bob's House Of Fools which left me scratching my head. 

Once again I watched my stepson play Black Flag until it was time to take him home and drive to meet PPS leader friend in Haworth. Our meeting at the tourist centre went better than planned as we met a ghost walker guy who we can work with in the future and also help out ourselves. Buoyed up by this fortuitous meeting, my friend and I went about our loves once more leaving me to fly to The Dalesway where I met another mate who I enjoyed a bottomless coffee with. I'd vowed to return home and write which is what I did. It was a good feeling getting this task completed and posted on our Facebook page (Pennine Paranormal). 

Once I'd done my written work I treat myself to starting to watch Breaking Bad series 5 and continued with Arrow series 1. I'm guessing that I will have a week where overtime doesn't steal hours from me and so I have plate spinning plans for each evening. Reading, writing and tv watching all feature. One week of hibernation is due I believe. I'm just enjoying the boredom peacefulness of my life in the knowledge that stormy seas will be inbound one day. 

I've had my spends for the year and now intend to recoup my outlay as well as create my Medium Interviews project into a final item so that it will no longer hang around my neck. 

Pre weekend.

I got home from relatively short overtime and watched ten minutes of Paranormal Asylum and three minutes of Mrs Brown Rides Again Live before ejecting them and wanting to snap the discs up. Utter garbage. 

Instead I played Minecraft and was over joyed to finally find my way to the Ender Dragon. That was satisfying. 

I ended up reading in bed shortly after. Sleep soon overcame me. 

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

I woke up with that Friday feeling or rather the feeling that it was Friday- which it was. 

I'm glad to be alive today. Actually I am everyday but I think I'm more appreciative of it today as people in my  vicinity lose loved ones.  

It's valentines day today. I refuse to say anything bad about that so let's move on. 

A full and enjoyable weekend lies ahead of me with my son, stepson and friends. Shame the weather is so rubbish. I'll tell you about it next. 

Facebook video

Cancer, illness and death seems to be around every corner at the moment. None of it is in my personal space but I'm seeing surrounding people in my life as well as in the news at the moment, having to deal with bad news. I want to put all that out if my head but this shadow is leaning over me. It makes me appreciate what I have but clouds things also. 

I'm working over once again and gathering money to repay my ps4 purchase. I'm happy in myself but fighting being introspective. Facebook showed me my last three years in a short compilation video and 99% of it was my son which is accurate. I was actually on Facebook long before but I changed my name to a comedy false moniker when I was at the end of my marriage and this only chapters when I changed once again to the real me.
