  • Grocery shopping all done, back at home.

    I’ve come back home after having dinner with mum and on the way home I picked up some groceries – I was hoping to get the roasted seaweed that I normally get but the store was out of that so instead I went with the other brand they have there which will be good enough.…

  • It doesn’t have to be that way.

    I was watching a video on YouTube about ‘choice feminism’ and it reminds me of discussions regarding cultural norms that for many are treated as if they were something that are permanent – they always have and they always will exist. The more you study about history and anthropology the more you realise that, to…

  • Going to take Friday off.

    Feeling a bit better but not fully recovered. Tonight I went for a walk because I needed some fresh air and some exercise to get my body moving rather than just sitting around at home resulting in the inactivity making it worse. I have been making sure that I’ve had vegetables with every meal to…

  • It makes me wonder.

    I’ve watched a video and it makes me wondering whether the Trump administration has any sort of clue regarding what they want to achieve or are the 4 years going to be nothing more than grifting. I say this because there was a video recently where president Trump was asked regarding the value of the…

  • One more day to go.

    I was going to write a more ‘heavy’ blog post but I’ve decided to hold off until Monday or Tuesday after I’ve had a good night sleep rather than trying to construct a half decent argument after a long shift. The weather has just been plain crazy over the last few days so I’ve decided…

  • Back to working from home.

    I had my two days working in the office and now I’m back at home for work on Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday the schedule is going to be a bit hectic but Sunday should be pretty quiet. I think that the first week back in the office has been a bit disruptive to the…

  • First day back in the office.

    It has been ages since I’ve been back in the office and the first day back feels really good – free coffee, plenty of fresh fruit to snack on for morning tea and afternoon tea. I’m going to have a quiet night tonight rather than going for a walk but I’ll go for one tomorrow…

  • Back in the office tomorrow.

    Well, that was a bit of a nuisance, I setup the alarm on my phone but I forgot to enable it so it would go off at 11:30am but luckily I woke up before 12:30 so I guess tomorrow will be my first day back in the office. I’m currently at the half way point…

  • The second day completed, feeling good.

    It’s the end of the second day of getting back on track again – I stuck to my diet plan today, did some free weights before work, on my breaks and after work, then I went for an 11.6km walk tonight and although there were a few drops of rain it quickly stopped. I was…

  • A good night sleep, a wonderful day.

    I had a good night sleep, one of those sleeps when your head hits the pillow and you’re out like a light and have a solid 8-9 hours of uninterrupted sleep. Before going to sleep last night I received an email with a credit so then I could purchase the free hats and scarfs up…
