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. My mind jumps from thing I would like to do to another too fast sometimes, so I am thinking of listing everything I would like to do or achieve whether it is short or…

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. The switch is also set up in there too (had to dust it off it has been so long) so I'll be diving make into some Nintendo gaming too. A nice chill room is just what I needed, I think. This may not seem like much,…

I have emerged… again.

Wow it has been quite a long time since I posted. It is funny and a little disturbing how fast time can slip by. Do you ever get that what I think may be called decision paralysis? Not sure if that is the right term or even if it is a real term. However, the best way I can describe it is when you have some free time, and you want to make the most of it. You want to maximise the efficiency of the time and go through all the things you want to achieve only to get locked…

Reflections on my birthday, weight loss, and DIY tech projects

I am at the end of a week off from work, so I thought it was about time I reflected on a few things. I continue to find it difficult to find things to write about, though. The week off started great on my birthday. We went out for food, and it was great! I knew I'd pay for it on the scales though (yes, I am trying to lose weight) and I was right. I gained a little. But, after some adjustments and getting right back on top of things I managed to lose what I gained last week…

Memory issues

For a while now I have been noticing that my short-term memory is terrible. I'm fairly sure it is due to medication and my, let's be honest, sedentary lifestyle. I can change the latter and I have annual leave coming up from work so I think I will use that as a starting point. There is not really a reason to wait until then, but I find it better to plan it out. I am more likely to stick to it then. As for the former, I am not sure if I can change it, but I am going to…
