I did it. 2 runs this week. One 9 mile and one 7 mile but with hills.
Eating is going well. Sleeping not so much, but it'll come.
And I'm socialising on Saturday. After a haircut. Because haircuts are awesome and come with head massages.

All the melancholy. Lovely. But I'm ok about it. It's funny, but I'm kinda happy to be sad about moving on from this summer. It hurts cos it mattered and as such it's sad to say goodbye. But that's a good thing. It's been a long summer, starting back in Australia at the end of Jan and if you think that the summer is the year (it's the only time ( Read more... )

I've been good and managed not to covert all the things I can't have cos I'm a skint student... But this just pushed the balance too far.  I want one and I want it now! (I can wait as far as the weekend, but that's it).

In other news - am a leetle high this week... must be the aclimation in autumn etc.  Keep having to remind myself to eat...

I'm happy, glad to be me and looking forward to the weekend.
So.
In the spirit of the original valentines, to all the people I love (whether because they are sexy smokin hot or because they are a member of my pack) hugs and appreciation this glorious day.

I had a meeting back in October with my thesis comittee.  These meeting are set in stone, they're for assessing how one is progessing ( Read more... )

Bless them, my family stumped up and bought me a desk SAD light for work.  It's an early christmas pressie and it arrived yesterday.  It's amazing, perfect and wonderful and I love it!  (the scoffers have been round but I shun their babble ( Read more... )

I heard a funny thing.
Apparently, if you breathe through your nose (or breathe in anyway) you cool your brain more than by mouth breathing.  A cooler brain is apparently a happier one.

As someone who has suffered congestion from birth, I'm all for this new nose breathing lark.

Just under a week, cos I think it was pretty normal yesterday too.

News while I've been away...?
Die Hard was good.
I watched a lot (like 8 episodes in a day) of CSI.
I can cycle for ever! (though friends get flies in their eyes and cause a halt to the whole who can sprint the fastest thing).

You?

Yo syren - should have taken your advice and got on the light last night.   Obviously there's not been quite enough sunlight hitting the back of my retinas for a while.

I'm as high as a f*ckin kite and it's fantastic (if a little unproductive). 
*is dancing in the office*

It's probably best to ignore anything I do today.

I hadn't actually realised how much I needed a holiday, but by the fourth day of sunny skies and huge views, gentle exercise and great meals, I finally unwound properly. It's been a good weekend. I didn't want to come back. But then I suppose that's a sign of a good holiday ( Read more... )
