TheSimpleLifeYou are on the archive wiki. The new wiki is here. I took a walk just now. I really needed too, between my current level of stress and anxiety, Mike riding my case since it's a new year and time for his tax to be in, and possible the onset of anemia, since while I may eat lots of fruit, dairy and carbohydrates, I don't eat much meat these days, I was begining to develop my fourth headache in the last five days. The weather was a bit grey and the rail was falling lightly, but it was an almost pleasent 7 degrees outside (once you've got a thick coat on and are aware that the temperature yesterday was 4 degrees) and the wind wasn't too strong. I walked north along the canal, up to where it bends by Regents park and along it further west, through the zoo and then up back, through Primrose Hill Park and on to the office. At the zoo I saw some orange warthog style things, everything else was hiding from the weather. On the way back to the office I spotted a blue jay in a tree chatting to itself, and also saw a really sexy white corvette parked down the road from the office. Doesn't sound like a lot, but it really is the simple things that can bring joy to a day. From feeling like I couldn't take another moment sitting here, I've come back feeling a million times more cheerful, relaxed and 'at one' with myself. Although admittedly, I'm trying to open post, organise all this months cheques to be paid out and now Mike's demanding I print him a single file lable and I can feel the tension start to creep through my shoulders, up my neck and into my jaw again, and that slight hint of pain thread it way through my head once more. |
