So what happened.
Apparently, work happened. And to be frank, i'm really, really, really tired of coming home from work and thinking about work. So it's time to find something else to think about.
Okay, i appear to be on a 2 months on 2 months off phase. That is really insufficient. I am assuming that i'm entering an "on" phase now, considering me having run through a light ibogaine thing. So, what caused things to collapse after 2 months in the previous phase? The answer is rather simple, election run-up fatigue and free beer. So the question becomes : Are there any elections or opportunities for free beer which i have to avoid more diligently over the coming months? Probably. Christmas is at least one such occasion, but i think i can brave that without it becoming too complicated.
So what have i been up to?
Basically, the last 2 month up phase was quite all right. Having a paid job that involves being outdoors and playing with kids all day has its positive side effects. I'm not -fit-, but my form does not deteriorate if i take a break from my more rigorous exercise regimen. Not smoking involves a much higher propensity to attempt novel things, and that is quite nice. I keep up to speed with some french on my way to and from work. I read much, exercise, talk to guards and inmates, trying to find the inevitable direction........ :P
Actually, i'm somewhat worried that i read incredibly little. The problem with my work now is that it is very attention-span limiting. I work in five-minute increments and the possibility to keep a train of thought running with kids who lose attention after three minutes is difficult. Stories work, to an extent, and songs, but other than that it becomes very cut up. So i should definitely spend more time on stories and songs to regain some attention capacity.
Everything i need is in place at home, so i have nothing to worry about there. Though i am prone to underutilization of my assets. Thus has it ever been, so i disregard it most of the time, but if i manage to gain momentum over the next two months then that would be very appreciated. Maths and programming is still being done, at a very limited, yet enjoyable pace. I have plenty of time and am not overly concerned about due dates, that is a gift and a curse, and the older i get the more i annoy myself over my previous idiocy, but hey. Live and learn.
Kaizen. That is basicaly the point. And if i can say one thing, then it is that every resurgence-phase i've had over the past few years has seen me do better and more than the previous resurgence-phase. That is all i can ask and work for.
Remember back when i was doing bad and the world was doing good? Funny how things turn around.....
