Recap

Friday

Good things going on in my life as opposed to what makes me feel depressed, angry, or hopeless.
My treadmill is not entirely bad and I can still run with it for another couple of months before I sell it;
The weather is sunny and cool and beautiful, although not as cold as it should be ;
Tonight I am going to the gym, which means work out, music, some fun, a chat, and a general feeling of wellness;
Tonight at the band we will discuss of important subjects and we may be good enough as to get a result, this time;
Tonight I am also going to set a plan for my study of the bassoon with our conductor ;
Less than two hours to lunch time, less than six hours to the weekend, less than a month to the next payslip, less than I think to some bank holiday or vacation;
I am going to enrol for a second degree and this will let me learn new and interesting things, and will also give me the possibility to take a year off as an exchange student and to find a better job when I am done.;
Number of times I have to do the chores at home before we begin the works: 6 (or 7);
And talking of the house that will be, we have just received the official project and my apartment is gorgeously large and organised, with enough space for my messy me;
By December or by next January I will have my own apartment and I will be “free” at last (with all that this implies);
By the beginning of February I will have a laptop to work and watch movies whenever I want, which means that I am going back to writing soon;
I have just received a nice letter from David and I have the occasion to fulfil my goal for the new year: write more letters and less e-mails.


Saturday

Things that have filled my day:
Sleep late and then go for a hot chocolate in a town I really like;
Clean the windows while listening to loud music, then do the chores upstairs, tidy the kitchen and sing;
Meet shop-a-holic friend, rambler friend and trendy friend for yet another hot chocolate while playing with my Brain training and chatting for a couple of hours;
Watch the end of Everwood, which has been one of the best endings for a tv series: it left me both happy and melancholic, and the music was well used, albeit cheesy, but I fall easily for these things when I’m in the right mood. Everwood has been by far one of the nicest series I’ve seen in a while (not counting medical dramas or Law & Order, that is, which are entirely a different genre);
Work for my second part-time job while listening to good music even though I was in a terrible mood;

Sunday

Things that have I should have done vs. things I have actually done:
Wake up earlier to finish the chores vs.wake up late and argue with mother over my decision to pack the last five boxes of books;
Have a lazy lunch and watch tv before running vs. have a lazy (delicious) lunch and sleep until past four;
Have a long run vs. walk for an hour;
Begin a book vs. play endless games of sudoku while watching NCIS (which I thought I didn’t like, but probably got some interesting episodes);
Go to bed early vs. go to bed late due to my long siesta in the afternoon (as a result, I overslept…which I never do…Scissors Sisters crept in during my sleep, but only to become a soundtrack of some dream I have forgotten. Anyway…).

Monday (after getting to work half an hour late…)

Things that will keep me going these week:
My dvd have arrived and I will soon watch them on my new laptop;
I have lots of things to do and being busy is the best way not to be depressed;
Tonight I am going to run and then fill in all the application forms I downloaded last week (not that I have a chance…but trying is always worth);
I promise and swear that on Wednesday I will go swimming;
I will have some time to look at furniture and see if for my new apartment to come I can find something nice to begin with (using the current furniture and replacing only a couple of things, like…the kitchen. Or get a decent armchair, or a proper closet for all my clothes and bed-sheets and all that. We’ll see. Right now).

And one thing that will NOT make things easier at work:
The ex-pregnant girl is back next week and today I have moved my computer to the big office, shared with the leader of the triumvirate and another guy. Luckily I am at the end of the room, and I have quick reflexes to close any page that shouldn’t be open while working…

And with all these things to do, I had better get going.
