Non-Leap Year

The Saints Go…

Oh new month. How exciting. Flip your calendars.

Monthly Stocktaking

With a new month, of course, comes new goals and objectives and whatnot. February was a good month in terms of work. Sure, the trend is that I’m on a decline in terms of productivity, but that was something I’d expected anyway. I’m doing okay, though this potentially life-changing week will probably have something to say about it. We’ll know more in a week or so, but for now, I can only hope that I won’t react too badly to anything that occurs in the imminent future.

In other words, it’s probably not too wise to make too many plans for the month. The best laid plans and all that.

In the meantime, I do have some other plans, and some of those have to do with my job prospects, so I’m looking into that. I’m also still in the midst of shifting my room, so some things will no doubt be underway soon enough. I have to go to the dentist too.

Of course, school will take place as well, and many things will happen, and we will all grouse and grumble, but it will happen. I’m managing. Not particularly well or particularly poorly, but simply managing.

Awful Days

These days, everything seems to be going wrong. Misaligned. Mussed up in some way that you can’t quite put your finger to. Have you ever experienced that? I think everyone gets things like this every so often, though, not being everyone, I can’t actually be sure. Fairly annoying, nonetheless.

I know that there’s a proper reason for all of it, of course, but I can’t really figure out what it is. It is most frustrating because I don’t mean to alienate anyone, so I try very hard not to, but it doesn’t always work. Is something changing? Some life perspective, some outlook, some character trait, perhaps? I don’t know, but it’s not exactly the most pleasant experience. In the meantime, I’ve put my trust into the things I know best–foolishly or not–whether it be music, art, or humour. I’ll also do everything I can not to offend anyone while I slowly figure things out. I mean, I’ve had more than two decades of civilisation. That has to be the least I can do.
