Ok, so, here we are. Brand new year (again), and the early enthusiasm for trying to keep this bloody journal up to date (again). So, here we are, the first of many boring entires detailing the boring mundane crap that goes on in my life in effort to...
(Oi!, Cheer up, you miserable bastard! You can do better than this. C'mon, new year, new start and all that. Do it properly!)
Right, ok. Again. Hello, and welcome to the first post in the year of two thousand and twenty-ten! I'm going to aim to keep abreast (snigger) of all the weird things that happen this year, and you're welcome to come read any inane ramblings I care to put to page. I havent been great at doing it in the past, mainly because I forget it actually exists, and by the time I get around to checkingother peoples suff, I forget what I wanted to write. So yes.
So, what is the current status of this deranged individual? Well, aside from putting up withthe worlds noisiest washing machine in my kitchen at present, I'm still driving trains at the yard, I have no car (See an earlier post for that) and I'm aiming to get fitter and healtheier this year. So far, so normal.
I'm also going dry for at least 6 months. No, there is no booze problem, I just want to put effort into looking after myself, so to start, I'm going to lay off the happy juice. Just to see if I can do it. I shall be trying to get out an about more, and go cycling this year. I have a brand new bike tghats barely been ridden from last summer, and never really been out anywhere on it, and thats just sad. So, during the cold that is now, I shall be going to the gym (something else thats been sorely lacking) and getting myself back in shape on the cycle machines. When its warmer, I'll be out and about on the bike as much as I can be. Sod staying indoors this year, the outside is calling my name.
I'm also going to try eating better, as a result of Cat and I wanting to fix ourselves nutritionally. Dont worry, I havent turned into some pathetic fruit-munching vegan tree hugger, but I have eaten WAY too much crap in the past. So yes, more veggies (great...) and less red meat. Gonna do this properly, or not at all.
I'm going to be looking out for a proper driving job when they become available, as I think I've learned everything I can at the depot. After all, I can drive the trains already, why not push the boundaries and go do it properly? There should be a training course happening soon, so I'll be aiming to get on that. No garuantee I'll get on it, but at least I have a decent job to begin with.
Right, not a lot else for now, so I'll leave it there and try and do another update no later than a week hence. In fact, a weekly update will propbably give me more stuff to write about, and results in fewer small updates with little to say. So, I bid you farewell for now, I'm off to get breakfast!
