good week I think

got down to 24 stone dead which is good

work wasn't completely awful for once

traded old DND stuff in and some more went in this morning total value for the 2 trade ins about £280 or so for 21 books - mostly gone on Doctor Who DVDs (and a couple of Stephen King Novels)

I've been trying to get all 147 released Who DVDs by the end of the year - currently have 57 with about 20 on the way and another trade in the credit for whihc will be available midweek next week

decided I'm going to Whooverville after all (Doctor Who con in Derby) on the 31st cause I'm a big who fan and I really want to go and meet other who fans and chill

every now and again I feel really good and positve and this is one of those times

waiting for the other shoe to drop, cause it normally does

but may be wrong so smiling all the way at the moment


work on the flat actually happening may be reasonable by christmas

games good, Stephen King Reading good, Who Collection good - just need to lose a load more weight and find a hot geek girl and I'm golden

So gaming update

Thursday group down to 4 players (temporarily?)

Going to leave it that way unless one of the people already promised a seat wants to opt in

Current Thursday Campaign looking at in far dim distance the possibility of an end

Then Cthulhu, period Cthulhu

Then back to fantasy (after my fantasy bateries have recharged I hope) with a grand Forgotten Realms campaign in the new Sysytem

Or if the new system is going to be rubbish the Pathfinder

Just traded in 9 3.5 DND boks for 22 Doctor Who DVD's (thank you Amazon)

First Book in 'The Sundering' (first in a sextet of novels covering the new realms setting (or the build up to the new setting))

and on 20/08/13 Storm over Baldurs Gate - a new adventure in 'The Sundering' that no one seems to know what edition it's in and sounds like (from what I've seen on Amazon) a new Box Set

 Starting to get a feeling of anticipation I've not felt in ...............    (Star Wars paraphrasing)

but now to work

later dudes and dudettes

3 years in the flat and I'm sane

2 health scares and I'm still here

weigh less now than I did when I moved in but still far too much

thought I loved someone who didn't love me and now .. well shes no longer an issue

tomorrow I'm going to wake up at some ungodly hour and have a giant coffee then I'm going to the new book shop in the centre to pick some things I saw today

Then me and the flat are going to have a confrontation

there will be 2 armchairs in the living room with a standard lamp and a footstool

the library which is going to be a fan boy room of some description

The massive amounts of rammell and clothes that exist in piles around the place are going to be thrown out or sorted

progress has been made but more can be done, much more

but right now I'm on my second Doctor Who DVD of my weekend (first was the 3 Doctors and now The Daemons)

Generally I'm happy

Could be happier  but I think I know what thats going to take and well it'll happen or it won't really

now for coffee and dinner

J

not going to be doing any more of these daily things unless something weird happens but

Day 2

day at work goes something like this

get there

start work

go through patch of falling asleep at desk

bolster

sleep thing again

leave work

get back to centre and all energy comes back, AC/DC on MP3 and smile on face

it's officail work is probably killing me, draining the life right out of me

need new job

life now depends on it

anyhoo tonight more work on flat and tomorrow is from this week on game (thursday) writing night - me biig coffee and some Doctor Who Audio while I plot the demise of the rebel scum...erm... players

no maybe I was right in the first place

oh well

Day 1

First day of the new approach

Something I ate yesterday seriously didn't agree with me (been an interesting day at work) but I pretty much guarantee I lost weight

walked into work

every apple I tried to eat today was rotten (all 3 of them thank you tescos)

came home and put water and dinner on straight away

did three of the 4 things on my list of things to do (mostly win)

very tired but pleased

same tomorrow and every day

J

Today is the line in the sand

I'm tired at failing to change my life for the better, things that I feel will make me happier like my weight/fitness the state of the flat, the pressure that shoddy organisation of my time puts on myself with regards to the game and such and the list goes on

So today a line in the sand is drawn"this far and no further!!!!!"

sorry channeling picard a bit

so after I get home from work  the TV does not go on and FB only gets checked briefly for word on status of games and such and will have a lit of things to do before I get to watch anythig or play anything

This week is a trial we'll see how it goes

Also today is the first day I'm walking into work since going back, walk in bus back for a while then walk in walk out

So if I don't appear on FB as much for the next few days don't panic

later peeps

J

I have things I want to achieve

I never achieve them as I get distracted

(plus 2 major health scares in the last 18 months hasn't helped)

So I need discipline and structure - a little every day and cut down on the distractions

got some vague ideas what to do - I'll think them through today and if I get them straight in my head then will start tomorrow

Change is coming

(I know I've said stuff like this before but you have to give me credit - I never give up)

:)
