I have been down. Life has not been smooth sailing. Yet there have been fantastic things happening. I think a late New Years resolution should be "See the silver lining"
"The Project" is in it's last stage. It's not any better organised or easier on my mind, but it is nearly over... and that is something to celebrate. I work with a great bunch of people - some of whom I like very much... they are like my family away from home. My job may be underpaid and over worked, but so is everyone else's. Fact is; few people get along so well as my work mates. "Management" excluded, there's not a real bad one in the bunch... and by "Management" I mean my guv'nor's guv'nor.
There are plans afoot to fix up the house... baby steps - but plans are better than no plans. Once started I can see how it might just work out.
I have a bunch of good friends and a family who look out for me.
I have just eaten the smelliest cheese on the planet. A good Stilton should smell a little - but I think having the fridge off all night (I was defrosting the freezer) made it that little bit riper - but my word it was tasty. I had to defrost the freezer because the door doesn't close properly at times... and when it's left slightly ajar it ices up. I'm lucky enough to have a big chest freezer in the garage to store the things than needed to be kept frozen frozen over night. As a bye product I now know what's in the chest freezer as I had to rearrange it so the stuff from the fridge would fit. It's mildly annoying to know there was sausages and steak in the freezer when I was hunting around for things to eat! Now I know I'll make a point of using them before they end up wasted.
I'm up to my neck in debt - but I've past the worst. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel... or at least I think I can - I have to hope it's not an oncoming train. I can pay the mortgage. The credit card hasn't got any worse in the last month... and January is bonus time.
So if you see me typing a bunch of depressing stuff here - remind me to cheer up!
