Well kids, it is Dec 31st and there is about three and a half hours left in the year.
Well, looks like (again) I made a VERY constructive use of the final day. Okay... I went to gym in the morning and did manange to get to the shops this arvo so I would have yummy om noms for tomorrow morning.
But APART from that, what have I done? Not much. Place is a mess.
Not a bad 2015. Got a good solid block of work this year and cleared some dept and managed to replace a few things I had been putting off. ie new bed, new pc, actually got my card debt to lower than my bank balance.
So that has been good.
Apart from that, well, sorta muddiled along. Played some good lacrosse. Matched it with some average lacrosse a week later. Got fit. Got fat. Developed massive crush. Went nowhere. Got over it. Repeated. Guess my role in life is deep in the Friend Zone.
I am thinking I should go out, but more for the fact that it IS NYE and 'going out' is what you do on these occasions. Sigh. Interest level a tad low. To be honest the only reasons most people go out on NYE is because it is the 'done thing' and because you are hoping to pick up a drunken NYE fling.
(which tangently brings me back to how messy the Crab Cave is at the moment.)
Went on road trip last week straight after Xmas. Three nights driving around Darkest Victoria more or less just because I can.
Went to Port Fairy and Bay of Islands, both of which I really find lovely. Although Port Fairy is probably hidiously cold and misrible in the winter. Went to Castlemaine and then Kerang because INJOKE and just wandered around a bit. Also played Ingress because deep down I am a sucker for grinding games. Must. Level. Up. Must. Keep. Playing. Just. One. More. Achievement.
Was partly a lot of harmless pointless fun and very relaxing. Partly depressing as you go through some of the smaller towns that are basically dying a little more each day. Worse on the first day which, being Boxing Day, was a public holiday anyway so even the shops that were not for sale were shut. The worse bit is the massive old style pubs with their massive balconies that you could have a tennis court on. All up for lease or sale. None of them open. The lucky ones have sub divided the lower floor, but that is the lucky ones.
Also got sunburnt :P
Back to work Monday. Hopefully for another good solid block. Despite my solid working hours this past year I haven't really managed to rack up much savings. Paid for things, yes. Saved, no.
