I’m looking forward to some time off work to do lots of things I’ve been putting off in order to do them over the break. Numerous people have also said we should get together over the break. Then I thought – it’s only two weeks – I can see it disappearing in no time without [...]

A little more settled

Things are a little easier at home. Daughter has started talking to J and not being so abrupt. J’s mother is going to put some money into his account so he can go home to the South Island for a few weeks. He intends returning to PN to flat with friends when he can get [...]
At this time of year
Posted in home, melancholy, tagged breaking up, infidelity, misery on 5 December, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I expected to be enjoying some warmer weather, some more time spent outside, tidying the garden, winding down for the year and looking forward to some time off work, Christmas at my brother’s, New Year’s eve somewhere, etc etc.
Instead I shiver with cold, feel depressed about the expensive things needing doing and extremely saddened about [...]
A game to pass the misery

I’ve been playing Morrowind lately – a computer game that I used to play a couple of years ago. I even blogged about my progress in the game back then.
It was a good time to re-start it as it takes my mind off home and family issues which are just bringing me down. Oh for [...]
Depression hits

Feeling mightily depressed. It’s not just the constant rain and cold, which is bad enough. I look forward to some warmer weather and sun at this time of year and it’s just not happening. We get one day of sun followed by a week of cold and wet.
Got the car’s brakes fixed yesterday – close [...]
TV trial

I actually watched TV last night and wasted a few hours. A movie was on – “Man on Fire”. I started watching it and thought it might be good because Denzel Washington usually does an ok job. I had doubts when I realised it was yet another helpless-kid/woman-gets-kidnapped storyline, this time, of course, set in [...]
Misery
Posted in home, melancholy on 17 November, 2009 | 3 Comments »
I’ve realised that I’ve been moaning a bit lately – particularly yesterday. I’ve moaned about the new work website, the proposed work function for Christmas, blogging, biscuits produced by Griffins, and probably other smaller things. I blame the weather – I’m so very fed up with grey skies and cold winds. It’s the worst spring [...]
The Trivia night was not the highlight of the month. Funny how when you look forward to something it ends up being disappointing. I didn’t like the obscure questions and didn’t like the “money or the bag” game in between question rounds – waste of time, I thought. We didn’t get enough time to work [...]
There is a Sun!

It’s true! I saw it in the weekend. Three glorious days of warm sun – bliss!
I headed down to Wellington on Friday night and was pleasantly surprised to walk out of the apartment building and NOT FEEL COLD!!! I was momentarily shocked and after hesitating at the doorway, proceeded to park the car where it [...]
Lacking motivation

I’m sick of this weather – the cold and the rain. What use is spring-fever when the weather’s crap? I can’t get motivated to do anything as I sit, feeling cold, with dark clouds outside. The inside of the house never gets above 15 deg C (unless of course I put the heater on and [...]
