One of those days

It's one of those Sundays when nothing really happens yet everything is running past in a most frenetic and frantic manner - in one's head of course.

There was so much I set out to do today, having had the rare opportunity to have the day to myself, yet I did little. The weather was great for a good day out at sea in the kayak but I was overwhelmed by lethargy and mental reluctance. I then thought I might go for a swim but ended up having a nap in the noon! I'm usually quite unaware of how exhausted I am till the weekends and the amount of sleep I try to recuperate. Even Barney has remarked about how I look tired too often too frequently of late.

It's also one of those days when one ponders about the direction life is going and with each passing day I become more disillusioned and tired with the system I purportedly work for. It drains the very life out of people leaving one little time to do much. And the more one gives, the more it takes. Perhaps it is better to just do the minimal with the least hassle and fuss. But yet I know I am unable to do that. It is something I was trying to explain to Francis the other day - about how contentment and happiness. I'm rarely happy because I'm rarely content. I'm rarely content because I often set too high expectations for those around me ... and for myself. But in that quality I've come to discover how a weakness can be a strength ... and vice versa.

The week has been eventful, and painful, to say the least. 'Tragedy' has to strike from every corner, at every angle, serving only to make a complicated time more complex and challenging. The lights in the theatrette are proving to be a real problem adding to the over-sized sets that may prove too huge to enter the theatrette. The SYF competition is this thursday and the Through-Train programme is revealing itself to be a hoax - a hoax which I must burden soon for I am to teach it... Anxieties.

I am patiently waiting for this term to end. I need to go underground again.

On a lighter note, which may not be so light afterall, I am looking for a new Blog template since this one's getting wonky. I've yet to find something really appealing and the thought of grappling with the commands and HTML codes make me hesitant to try.

Well ...

Another week ...
