Slack Hooch

It's been one of those strange times where I've wanted to post, but everything I've felt I'd like to write seemed to need more effort and time than I had at hand, so it slid. And slid.

Things I've thought about?

I gave myself a mini challenge. I had to accept every invitation I received, unless work was a conflict. I've tried to follow up with that as best I could. Of course, I then went and made a tool of myself at a bbq by drinking more than I'd realised, too quickly, and was sick as a dog. Nice entertainment for the others, I'm sure (cringe factor 11/10).

I have been invited to a nice Christmas lunch this week with the people who I've been working with, so that will be nice, and then again another Christmas lunch in a few weeks. That one will be rather scary, as it has been arranged as a get together for a whole group of freelancers in a variety of fields who normally don't get included in Christmas 'do's. I will know three people there, but am not close to anyone in particular. Ah well, I did say I wanted to get out of my comfort zone a little and mix with people.

My other 'out of my comfort' thing that I've done... I joined a gym on Friday. I have a plan and I intend on sticking with it. There are so many things I want to do, but I have to be realistic and say that at my current fitness level, I won't achieve them. So I am going to get fit again. (See how I ignored all the conflicting body image hang ups that could easily swallow me up in a giant selfcombusting ball?)

Work is quiet now. Dead quiet. But I'm being positive and looking at it as perfect timing to start working out while the gym is quiet during the day. It lessens the intimidation factor a little when there are no other people there. Should I worry about lack of work. Maybe, but I have some cheques due in, so I'm not going to starve this week. And who knows what is around the corner.

Guitar is going well (although I discovered that alcohol does not alleviate my performance anxiety, it just causes me to forget what I was playing. (Cringe factor 4/10))

So... that's the condensed version I guess.

I shan't leave it so long next time.
