I always have a funny five minutes on 27th, as it was payday for the most recent six years of my employed life. Nearly a year and a half on and it still has an impact. I'm not sure if it's a good feeling or a rubbish one. I suppose it depends whether I've managed a self-employed payday in advance of it or not!
Anyway, yesterday I achieved very little, as my Uncle has arrived from Australia for a short visit, and the tedious organisations have begun. Passing messages back and forth, navigating my way through the dangers that lurk behind every sentence of family feuds. It is poor timing with my current workload, and I cannot just do one visit and include everyone; there have to several carefully planned ones. There will be much running in my life over the coming weeks!
I've spent the morning discussing connections between temporal lobe function and the entry point of the gall bladder meridian. As such, I am now struggling to get my head back into Western science. It keeps reverting back and making comparisons, that though insightful and fascinating, are not going to do me any favours in this next assignment, nor in my exams. I have about a week until the assignment is due, and here I am studying completely the wrong topics.
The light in the balloon I was given is STILL on! I can't believe it.
A new Asda store opened here yesterday. I find that it has become a beacon to me for everything that is wrong with this town, and this planet. I've taken out more of my angst on it than is probably reasonable. You would think from my ranting, that I genuinely believed that Asda was accountable for the demise of the town and all that was good about it. Of course that isn't true. I just don't like it being here, even though I haven't yet laid eyes on the monstrosity. Funny how something that has had no impact on me whatsoever to date, can serve to irritate me so consistently. There again, I get annoyed by people who wear their socks twisted around their foot and say it's comfortable, so maybe it doesn't mean anything really.
