Not this time. She says she will help out with the science day we are back down for next month though.

Beware of my powers.

Green Lantern's light?

Got precisely zero of the things I had planned to do today workwise done. On the bright side I have got the non-work shopping in, and finished all the admin stuff I need to do this week in terms of the roleplaying games I am playing in/running. Which frees up my weekend to do some stuff around the house, sort through some more of the too much stuff I own, watch some TV and potter about with some model kits. A nice solid lack of plan for a weekend I think.

Morning All!

It's SATURDAY !!!!!

Yesterday: THAT was a bit of a day. Awake till 2am I'd seen some new book info in the early hours so knew I wouldn't be twiddling my thumbs all day but by the time I saw what there was in the morning the info had drastically multiplied. So lots of putting dates and ISBNs on books that had just been titles before. I was so buy I forgot breakfast, didn't look at the test score between 7am and 11am then forgot my tablets at lunch, which was a very nice Thai meal out with Liz. Quieter evening

Odd night: didn't get off till gone 2. Awake c6:30-7:15. Slept again, awake at 11.

Today: As little as possible. Songs when I get them. TMUK Zoom tonight, I'm in the chair.

Pray Day goes OK, Sinuses, CMT, tummy and Head cope OK. Pray I sleep well tonight, getting off to sleep promptly. Pray we stay protected from the virus.

Have a good day, stay safe & well.

I've got a little list, I've got a little list!
He's got a little list, he's got a little list!
I'm sure they won't be missed
He's sure they won't be missed

Slept in until 11 this morning, due to not sleeping properly during the night. (Results of an experiment I am carrying out with applying light therapy to managing my depression/fatigue. The results of which are - forgive me - illuminating.)

Got up and spent forty-five minutes getting some daily missions done in Star Trek: Online (Prodigy made me miss the utter ridiculous nonsense of ST:O's story and setting for some reason, so I have gone back to the game after three years off. And the story campaign has got even more hilariously bonkers in the interim).

If you are wondering where the song comes in... I am feeling a bit like the Lord High Executioner this afternoon, where I normally tend to feel more like the Lord High Everything Else.
I've spent this afternoon working through my Transformers toys - dividing things into "staying", "going" and "unsure". I think that the definitely goings are about 1/3rd of the stuff in the two boxes, and the "unsures" are about another quarter - to be gone through this evening or tomorrow morning to determine what is staying from amongst those. I've also made a decision that at least one of the Godzilla vinyl figures is going out, (Not Kiryu, the only reason I'd get rid of Kiryu is if I replaced with one that had two proper hands instead of the drill hand). Those are on the list for triage once I've done this pass through the Transformers. (Along with a third pass through the Nerf arsenal - to ask the question of whether I really need four different side-arms which perform effectively the same. Would it not be better to clear the duplication out of my inventory and just keep things without overlapping roles?).

So, it has been short but busy today. I haven't even had time to watch any Kamen Rider or Super Sentai!

Morning All!

It's SUNDAY!

Yesterday: Odd day. Lie in after difficult night, struggled with some stuff all day. Jonathan got a loft job done for me. Enjoyed TMUK call. LOVELY Mushrooms with stilton and chorizo for dinner.

Today: Home on Zoom again this morning - J going in - so I'm match fit for the second week of the thing we're doing post church.

Pray Day goes OK, Sinuses, CMT, tummy and Head cope OK. Pray I sleep well tonight, getting off to sleep promptly. Pray we stay protected from the virus.

Have a good day, stay safe & well.

So. Following last nights anxiety attack I didn't wake up until half-ten this morning. Not amused, I've lost the whole of this morning and I had things I wanted to get done.

However, this week has proved the point that my anxiety and my sleep patterns are now quite sensitive to my light exposure. So I'm hoping to get a walk in this afternoon for the good of my brain chemistry. Then hopefully come back and finish some more culling through the Transformers. Hopefully I can start working on the "stored" Gunpla to determine which ones are to be earmarked as parts donors, customisation basese or for long-term retention next week. Fairly happy with the progress so far, but need to keep the momentum up.

SO, that is this weeks cull of the Transformers completed. I think that there are more to do, but I think I need to let thing settle and go back and revisit the Legacy stuff again in a few weeks. Cut hard into the assorted Nerf parts too.

The gunpla storage box is out for going through during the week, but I am calling a halt for today and going to watch some Kamen Rider and have a nice dinner instead.

Currently it is ten to eleven on a Sunday night and I am still up. The anxiety I have been struggling with for a fair proportion of this weekend has now kindly settled on a level - it is about 7.5 (it goes to ten, not eleven). Enough to make me twitchy, and keep me awake and waiting to the other shoe to drop.

I am, as you can imagine not a fan of this. *bleh* Hopefully this feeling will dissipate soon.

Wishing you peace of mind, Karl. Hoping your brain turns a corner into a more cheerful road in the first full week of February.
