Admissions and the future

It is that time of the year where the resolutions come out. Yes, it is cliche, but I think I need to use this as a fresh start for me. It is just seems right to my brain. Although I do not have a definitive list in mind I do have a somewhat list of objectives for the year in my mind. As seems to be recurring theme for me, the Christmas period brings me down mentally. I cannot put my finger on any one reason for this though. Let's just say it is a combination of things from my…

Winding down and looking ahead

I'm feeling a little tired as the year draws to a close. I'm ready for a break and I'm certain I'm not alone. I'm looking forward to having some down time to recharge my batteries. On the flip side of that I want to organise my time outside of work a bit more. I know that doesn't sound very relaxing, but it does help me focus.

Feeling good

After days of sorting, I finally found some time to enjoy the new setup for gaming. Spent some time setting up and then cruising around using the wheel. The seating setup is not 100% there but it worked well enough. Everything is in easy reach so I can more easily jump in going forward.

This may not seem like much,…

Too much clutter building up. After finding some suitable music (Ska being my weapon of choice) I got to work, and I have to say I am incredibly happy with the results so far. I still have my electronics and gaming area to tackle but my work and dev space is a lot better laid out. It is already giving me more motivation…

Making progress after a small setback

Sadly, after having a good couple of days my mind decided, it was time to plunge back down again. It is so frustrating. I did manage to progress on things I planned to but not as fast as I want so I will take that as a small victory. I do feel like I am coping better with these troughs though. Not perfectly but at least managing them. I even managed to keep up my walking schedule. Fitbit, however, has informed me today that I am overtraining. Seems a little shocking to me but it is an indicator of how…
