I hope you don't think I'm picking on you Vicky with this, but this really made me laugh. I suppose I'm causing people not to comment now if I mock the comments they make, but this has to be said! I type the word 'Chrissi' about three times in every post for the last week. It's there on the page. Quite clearly. So when you reply to a comment ... an extra e goes on the end? Where does it come from?!
I know it's a common spelling of the name, but please. When I have it written everywhere without it, I'd have thought someone might've gotten the hint. Maybe not. Ah well ...
In other more interesting news, I was up a large part of last night due to being unable to sleep. This was due to predominantly a pulled muscle in my chest, most likely from coughing. Hardly the most strenuous activity, but hey. Evidently that's the supreme level of fitness I have. A short splutter is enough to knock out half of the muscles in my body.

Shopping!
I went shopping and actually looked for new clothes today. This is rare enough to actually warrant an update all by itself. It's borderline non-existent. Chrissi went with me and tolerated it. She's even less pro-shopping than I am.
Work tomorrow, hurrah! Feels like I shouldn't be going to work as Chrissi is here - Chrissi here should mean holiday. I'll let work know. They'll understand.

Run Continues
Because I don't want to spoil my recent run of blog-a-day, I am making this quick comment at 1:35am. Chrissi is here now. Hurrah!
This admittedly makes all my blogs for the next fortnight rather pointless as she is the only one who reads them, but hey! That's not the main reason I do it. It's for the sense of fulfillment/futility/delete as appropriate.

180 Degrees
Today put me in mind of something a year and a half ago which I also blogged about. Readers with keen memories may recall this post back in August last year. Even those without them will now be prompted as I just provided a link.
Anyway, gist was I was pissed, walked out and just went for a walk not knowing where I was going or what I was doing. Roll forward to today, and a similar scenario. Irritated, or rather peeved at something silly, I opted to go for a walk. There's not much better at clearing your head then a good walk in the fresh air. But the contrast was spectacular to me. A year and a half ago I hadn't known where I was going, what I was doing, was kinda low and generally frustrated. Today, I went for a walk and knew exactly what I was doing, where I was going, and felt extremely upbeat and not fretting about things.
I make this point to illustrate the surprising fact - I know what I'm doing now. And where I'm going. Which is, without sounding too dramatic, probably the first time in my life I've really been that clear about it all.

Recap
Five in five. Impressive.
For today, honestly see Monday. Attempted improvements from myself were way too muted and really felt awkward and out of place. Which in turn felt really, really strange.

One And A Half Centuries
My recent spate of blogging has put me up to the 150 mark for blogs. A perhaps dubiously impressive landmark. Anyway, I'm quite getting into this blogging lark once more.
I don't have too much to say, so instead I'm going to comment on one of the more amusing things I've heard this year. This being that on updating my facebook profile picture, Chrissi observed that I looked hot in that picture. This is one of the most hilarious things I've heard this year. I attach said picture for proof of how absurd this premise is.
Okay, she's biased, she's supposed to say that. I still disagree though. However, attempting to prove my point by seeking a second opinion to agree with me, and selfishly they sided with Chrissi. I'm still insisting I'm right on this one, and not fishing for compliments at all because I am reluctant to believe that this could even be the case! For me, it doesn't sit quite square with the perception I have of myself. Perhaps my perception needs updating.
Anyway, amusing enough that I felt compelled to share it with the one person who reads this, which is Chrissi anyway and so already knew about this.

Merry Christmas
Well, it's that time of year again, time to give thanks for two days off work. A fairly quiet Christmas for me this year, as is indicated by the fact that I'm here blogging as opposed to at some raucous celebration. I hope all of you out there are having an enjoyable time with family, friends or whoever else you're spending the day with.
Also, three days in a row of entries. Be impressed.

A Blog A Day Has No Proven Medicinal Benefits
However, it does keep the news relatively fresh which is always a good thing.
Today's main newsflash is that I have had the afternoon off work (hurrah) due to it being Christmas Eve. The latter news is shocking, I'm sure. It doesn't require much date manipulation to work out what tomorrow is either.
I could make a seasonally themed blog. However, that's going to be entirely out of character with me. Instead, I'm going to comment as to how it seems that my life is changing quite a lot. Especially over the last three and a half months or so since I've been working and so forth, there've been a lot of changes for those of you who have been paying close attention. This currently encompasses one reader, who to be fair is the only one to really get that chance.
Anyway, it's odd to meet up with other people who you haven't seen for a while and seem to completely not fit in or feel as if you perhaps should not fit in because of this. Priorities changing, people changing. Perhaps I'm even growing up, who knows.
