I’ve been fairly sad and lonely over this last few days and, though it’s been unpleasant, it’s also been really useful. I hate when I end up feeling that way so whenever I do I take steps to get over it. One of the things I did this time was write. Sure it was mostly […]

Day 157 – 159 Sleep Deprivation
Monday night I took it upon myself to give up sleeping. I’ve had about five hours sleep over the last three nights and am so exhausted it’s taking all my energy just to function. I’m so exhausted. Woe is me!
Day 151 – Day 156: Easter
My partner started night shift this week and the end result for me is that I can’t sleep. The results were pretty predictable and by Wednesday I was pretty shattered. I decided that the best route forward was to expend more energy and try and get organised for next week. Also predictable my energy levels […]
Day 150: Where Am I Going?
Sometimes I get all sad and lonely and full of despair. Being a person that likes to address the issues the next question is OK, what am I going to do differently? What am I going to change? Where would I like to end up? And the reality is this is exactly where I want […]
Day 149: Despair Takes A Hold
I can’t help but think I’m as effectual as a priest in whorehouse. I just can’t seem to get anything happening. In some ways I feel as if my life has become an endless round of work and chores. Simply put, I am not having enough fun. Easter weekend is looming, one of the biggest […]
Day 148: A Day Off
I am totally shagged, which is a local phrase which in this instance means very tired. I’ve done little today except sit around and, um, do little. I had an engagement party that I attended in the evening and stuff like that always makes me anxious. And when I get anxious I eat. Then I […]
Day 147: Relationships Are Hard
I made up with my partner today. We’d been … well not fighting exactly, because seriously, you need to be talking to fight, and we weren’t. I tell him that’s how it goes; I need to discuss to clear the air. He prefers to just ignore everything and hope it goes away. It is a […]
Day 146: Don’t Worry, Be Happy
I’m slowly getting back into a happier groove. It’s the little things that make the difference. Like visualizing, which I do any way but if I don’t direct my thoughts it becomes worrying. Taking some time to arrest my thoughts and redirect to a better place is a good thing. Plus, I’m working again. I […]
Day 145: Starting A New Project
I’ve just got started on a new project. We are landscaping the yard of our house. We want to put in a carport and shed, a deck, retaining walls, gardens and fence the whole lot. It will turn what’s essentially a useless yard into something actually quite beautiful. Well that’s the plan anyway. Today I […]
Day 144: Keep Going
I feel like that’s going to be my epitaph. That Lisa, she just kept on going. Still I guess that’s where I’m at. Persistence is the only thing I’ve got going for me at the moment. I do feel very down. Still, keep going hey.
