Whole new shallows
I'm so unaware of myself. I thought I was, but I'm not. Strange how you discover things about yourself as you go along your merry way.....
Has been an enjoyable yet strange bank holiday. The weather turning was obviously a blessing, but also a curse as it means perhaps the last of the nice weather has been snatched from my biking year. Yes, I'm still off the road and not liking it, though at the moment am not liking the prospect of money payments more. Time spent lounging around and realising how inarticulate I am, fun rolling around with P (who know me better than myself these days, it seems) and no sunburn. And lots of eating out (ish) in the bargain. Happy (:-)
Today a little bit odd. Received an obvious text message in error from Chris (who will have to be termed SurreyChris, to avoid confusing certain bloggardes), always an amusing prospect. Especially since this was obviously an 'I've met someone new over the weekend' kinda text that clearly wasnt me, yet I did feel quite a bit jealous as I've not had that 'falling for someone' feeling since forever. I want in, though I dont want a man-trade-in; the more I think about it, the more lucky I realise I am to have P at all, soppy as that makes me seem.
Work today was extremely on the quiet side, since out of a lab of 9 persons, 5 were away at either conferences or holidays. At least it was 2 at either end, so we werent all lonely, though I could tell that one of us (not me, in this case!) was feeling the need for more conversation. I had one of those days where a reaction you've done several times before decides to do something completely different instead, to be timed with the use of the new batch of catalyst; hence it probably means the catalyst is biching off or super-charged, either way I'm screwed and the previous 6 steps in this synthesis may have been wasted! Arses! But otherwise I'm tootling along nicely, feeling like I'm really getting on with things for a change. And home early for cooking and fiddling about means I'm almost up to speed domestically, except for the laundry. On this front, I can entirely blame the existence of WoW since I never had problems before. Unfortunately I cant but the bastard game down, so I'm not doing any of the kind of reading I used to, nor learning my lines properly either! I think I'll be taking my script on the way to work again tomorrow and seeing if I can get a bit more of it into my skull.
All in all, I'm all over the place. Life could be a lot better, could be a lot worse, but overall, I'm enjoying myself. Now if only someone would drop a cost-free mechanic-electrician on my doorstep I'd be set. Oh, and the paunch could do with being lost, but I'm almost resigned to that one now.......
