Overslept something awful this morning! No clue, why – I went to bed early, slept well
– and yet managed to sleep right through the alarm. Which takes quite some doing,
since it goes off every five minutes for an hour! Fortunately it’s no problem
when I show up late for work – not even so much as a comment!
Work was reasonably busy and included a nice
surprise! One of the guys from our ‘competitors’ came back and brought me a box
of Belgian Chocolates! AND he made sure they contained no alcohol! Those are
the gestures and moments I love most about this job! In turn, I couldn’t wait
to share some with my neighbour – not all, of course, I do love chocolate! She,
in turn, shared her freshly baked loaf with me!
Sjoe, but evenings go so fast! Water the
garden, water my plants, cook dinner, eat, make tomorrows lunch, bath and it’s
going on nine – of course I don’t rush around getting things done, easy does
it. I play for a bit on my game, check my Facebook in between, and chat maybe.
Oh, and I usually have some DVD playing in the background as well. I need to
find a time-slot for this blog – this past week I’ve been writing on and off
throughout the day. In a simple word document for now – kind of a trial to see
whether I’d find something to write every day and whether I’d be able to keep
it up. So far, I have, but like I said, I need to find a fixed time slot – add
it to my routine kind of thing. My neighbour said she liked what I wrote, even
that she’d follow the blog if she’d stumbled across it. I know I can do better
– but then I’d run into my usual ‘polish till it shines’ obsessive
perfectionism and I’d have all of two paragraphs to show for this whole week.
Also, I kind of enjoy this directionless train of thought style. After all,
this is not a professional piece, nor am I writing for an audience, exactly.
Whilst weeding this weekend I thought about
where I want to go with this. I decided to take it live – not just keep it as a
word document. Another decision is whether to post it as me or anonymously? I
don’t like secrecy, since I have nothing to hide nor to be ashamed of. With
that in mind I’ve purposely not named any names – although I don’t have
anything to hide, and don’t mind placing my skeletons on the veranda for the
world to see, not everybody feels that way. And I don’t think I’d necessarily
like to read my name in someone else’s blog, regardless of what they’d write.
Let me close with a picture of the sky at sunset earlier today.
