From the iPhone, my life reduced to gadgets

Clearing out the cobwebs

I have thought about shutting down my blog, or just keeping it here as a record- but over the last few weeks, I’ve been feeling the need to post.

I have not had that feeling for a while- I blame a number of things, not that I want to discuss them all in detail: twitter, an ongoing battle with depression, life changes in my extended family and friends. I’ve not wanted to discuss them in a public forum, or elude to them in hushed tones.

Over the last few weeks, I have been feeling slightly better. So I have begun to look at a shift in priorities, the support of new friends and the input of new ideas helps. As does the kind words of more established friends- even if they are not so sure where I am going with this.

So no obligation, no promises, no timetable, no arbitrary goals- but it’s time to begin a shift in priorities.

Reset, restart

As I said in last week’s post, I’m setting myself little challenges. Things that are achievable, not too overwhelming.

Some I’m meeting, some I’m working on, others I’m grateful for obligation (4 hours of training a week ).

To start I’ve redesigned my blog. After about 2 years- I have finally redesigned my blog. For so long I’ve been using a generic template because I just couldn’t do what I wanted. It’s not exactly what I wanted, but it’s close and I’m happy with myself because I’ve persevered. I’ll tweak some widgets and whatnot later.

Otherwise I went to Game on and GOMA today with the hubby, had a lovely time.

Moving onto 2009

2008 was a bit of a roller coaster for me: I lost my Grandpy, had a chance at a writing contract, saw my best friend get married, found going back to the classroom difficult and continued to struggle with personal issues of health and fitness, fertility and depression.

Because of this I seem to have neglected many of things that make me happy- photography, writing and webstuff, spending time with friends.

Even as I headed into holidays there were so many things I wanted that I just haven’t got to, because of Christmas and illness- sewing, photos, movies.

So, I’m passing on resolutions. To be honest, I hate resolutions because the become a year end reminder of what I haven’t achieved.I’m going to put more thought and time into doing something more concrete, just not right now.

Instead, I’m looking for little challenges in 2009

sentimental and deeply neurotic. It’s how I feel right now

December

Summer’s here, the holidays are close, Christmas is becoming more familiar.

Meanwhile, I haven’t updated in a month. A friend/ reader says I need to update.

I have ideas, but they are all crap. And today I woke up with pinkeye.

Sorry not so thrilling.

Maybe later

Time to begin

It was all meant to be so good- we’ve celebrated Franki and Carl’s wedding- it was such a gorgeous and relaxed wedding. She’s truly a beautiful bride.

1. Frank- bw 2, 2. Champagne, 3. Bridal Docs, 4. Ring

Then get through Peter’s post-poned birthday and Halloween.

This week I was going to get my diet and excercise back on track, start sorting, cleaning and organising- so that Christmas and the lead up to the holidays wasn’t so scary.
That was before the fever and sore throat turned up on Sunday, so I took Monday off- just to make sure I didn’t get too run down. This morning I wake up and can’t walk on my left leg- I hadn’t tripped, fallen or banged it, so it freaked me right out. The doctor thinks it’s my Achilles tendon and prescribed rest, minimal weight- bearing movement, ic packs and ibuprofen.

Instead of using the time at home to catch up on work- I spent yesterday swapping wardrobes (no where near close to getting rid of my far too many clothes) and today watching strange movies and sorting through a backlog of deviant watches.

If I get back to work tomorrow it will be hectic and the next few weeks are socially and professionally manic. So I anticipate a lack of blog posts, photo processing and general catching up- which I know will send me spare. You have been warned.

Way to ruin a good weekend

Bronwyn — Sun, 14 Sep 2008 08:18:19 +0000

Maybe I shouldn’t use my blog to bitch about work, but to be honest- I don’t think I’ve got a lot left to lose. As we speak I’m probably being considered incompetent and unprofessional because files that left complete when I went on secondment are now allegedly incomplete.

I found this out after a phone call from work at 11am on a Sunday.

Up until then, my weekend was going swimmingly. Saturday had been nice, going to the markets with BMB, getting new comics, sorting out wedding stuff with Frank and a smashing bout at Beenleigh.

I was planning to spend a lot of today processing photos and stuff. Instead I’ve felt sick, stressed and generally depressed because there’s a problem I can do nothing about and my commitment should be at my current position.

What have I got to lose?

Picture a day- catch up
