That last blog post has sat in my outbox for oh, the entire work week. All it required were the final two paragraphs and the ability to stop myself reading back over it again and again to try and pick the flaws in every character.
In fact it’s been weighing on my mind all week . I started writing on Monday, and now it’s Friday morning. Especially early Friday morning, more of a ten-minutes-past-midnight kind of morning, but the technicality is correct. It’s Friday morning and I only just bothered to press “publish.”
Otherwise for a quick recap of the week: On Monday I bought ham and mandarins.
On Tuesday I bought low joule cola and a disgusting pastry sausage. I discarded the complimentary sauce which the lady gave me, not entirely because I don’t like tomato sauce that much, but also because tomato sauce doesn’t go overly well on pastry saveloy snacks. I presume it was a gesture of good faith, a sort of “I’m sorry for selling you a disgusting dried up piece of rubbish” if you will.
On Wednesday I thought “Why don’t I save $1.20 on cola and just drink coffee. As a result I had three cups evenly spread throughout the day and I was adequately dosed until about midnight. I also didn’t wake up the next day until about half past ten.
On Thursday (that’s the day just finished,) I woke up at about half past ten and bought myself a bottle of low joule cola and some fresh bread. It was a very productive day, one of three this week, and yet I still feel like I’ve achieved nothing.
Other things that have been happening include I’ve been drinking full cream milk, and trying to apply myself to a diet.
The diet is really quite simple and involves eating whatever the hell I feel like, as long as it doesn’t clock me over about 8000 kilojoules per day. Tonight, for instance, I had pizza. It may not be entirely healthy, but I am not an entirely healthy person (with which I’m entirely fine.)
I have complemented my diet with a regulated forty-five minute session of walking around the place, and I intend this will make me less overweight than I am right now. This is a more formalised continuation of my previous lifestyle regime which worked perfectly, except that one weekend I had a massive binge and put on exactly all of the weight I originally lost.
I’ll let you know how it goes. The book is published in November.
