If you've been reading the posts on this blog recently you'll have noticed that my posts have been very downbeat...to say the least! The cold which I've had for over a week now has really sapped my energy...combined with the extreme anxiety I caused myself over some stuff at work, it's really left me in a pretty depressed state. So, aim for this weekend is to pull myself out of it! Steps I'm taking:
- Bought Halo 3...
- Currently listening to my 'guaranteed feel better music'...won't bore you with it...partly because it's not fit for public consumption and partly because you'll think I'm REALLY nuts!
- Sleeping! I really don't do well with sleep deprivation...all of my mental barriers come down and I get a bit emotional.
- Reading non-technical books...for various reasons which I've unsubtly alluded to on this blog I've been reading a lot of technical books lately...good for learning, not good for escapism!
- No computer...I mean it, I just need a break from this for a couple of days...planning to take a week in a month or so completely away from the computer (back home I used to head into the wilds of Scotland...need to find an equivalent here...which takes cats!)
- No work...I really should do something for deadline sake but it's more important right now that I take a break.
So, see you all on Monday; traffic is actually picking up here surprisingly, not back to the 10000 hits a day the old site used to get but getting there! Also a few hits (which aren't me) from work...which is a little worrying!
