2008 #14 - Theorising

EDIT: This was listed as #13 for the entire week. Fool.

I'm half way through a post about a theory that explains my current state of mind but at some point I got confused and stopped making sense. I'm still convinced that the underlying theory is sound, so i'll get back to that later. For now, i'm going to run through my list.

Easy - 1, 2, 4 and 5 as before.

3. Ended up exceeding March in old and new terms. A new month of 8+ begins tomorrow. Blockbuster can't seem to send me anything now.

Harder

1. I have failed to write a song for March. The month end quick song would have been a good idea if I didn't feel so uninspired at this precise moment. This failure must be mitigated - I will get back on track. I do have a new acoustic guitar which is just beautiful, and sounds fantastic.

2. Reviewed work goals one last time before the real review coming up. Fairly certain I have nothing to worry about.

3. Took a test to discover all kinds of aspects of myself in relation to career. Was disappointed to see the scam like method used to convince me to buy a package after answering 70 questions. How about I start typing a sentence and just as it gets interesting it turns to dashes so I have to pay to see wh-- ----- -- ----. I didn't buy it. If they'd offered me the test for £5-6 up front (which is all it cost), I might have. Don't trick customers. We don't like it.

4. I tried to swim my 64 lengths without a rest last week. At 58 lengths my foot cramped up worse than i've ever experienced before. This left lasting muscle pain for much of the last week, and i'm apprehensive about tomorrow, but i'm still going. I sometimes realise i'm not sure which lap i'm on and punish my stupidity by assuming the lower number. This happened at least 3 times last week, so my hope is that I actually did reach 64 before it all went wrong. Had a big portion of salt on Sunday. That's supposed to help.

I also went for a walk this evening. This was more to clear my head but it has to beat sitting in a chair all evening, so i'll count it.


Not a bad week considering i'm feeling.. actually a little unstable. Hopefully being able to realise that means it can only hurt me so much.

Back soon.
