Feeling a bit underwhelmed health wise this morning. Woke up early as Linda was going out walking but went back to sleep which is something I never manage on other days and slept until 8.30am. Got up feeling a bit groggy and tired, “behind the eyes”, so to speak. A bit of asthma in the chest and a feeling of being stuffed up in the sinus’ has left me a little bedraggled.
I would like to get out for a spin on my mountain bike for an hour or so but will see how I am when I finish writing. Could be just what I need. A spin in the fresh air to drag me out of my torpor. Or it could make things worse! Haha.
Got through the first day of work for the week without a problem. It was quite an easy day and no one hassled me and I managed to be quite productive. Of course I have my days when I am a bit slack but it is not the type of job where you can go hard at it all the time. It’s dull and boring and I think the supervisor accepts that he just needs to get the minimum out of people on most occasions and the place runs well enough.
Today is actually the anniversary of the start of my employment with Australia Post. Maybe that’s why I feel so groggy?! 25 years. A hell of a long time. I would have received less incarceration time if I had been running with the Manson family!
I can’t say it’s been enjoyable but it has at least provided me with a stable platform to live my life pretty much the way I have wanted to and be comfortable.
I guess in some ways I have wasted a lot of time hanging around the joint and had the talent to go elsewhere but my character has never really been of the “go-getter” type and it has always been easier to stay where I am despite my repeated protestations of hatred for the place.
If every day was like yesterday it would be a walk in the park. Unfortunately things never stay the same and there are some big upheavals coming for us and no one really knows how it will effect us and what the results will be. We will just have to dive into that pool of uncertainty and let the current drag us along through the rapids until we reach still waters again up ahead. If we make it!
So that is all for today. A blog entry about as exciting as summer cold but felt I had to check in and update. I have plenty more to write about but will keep it in the safe until I have more time as I am quite keen to get out on my bike and will do so directly.
I hope, wherever you are, you can squeeze some enjoyment out of the day and do something that will improve your life, even just a fraction. If we can all do that I think we will have made something of ourselves for the day.
Have a good one.
