I've got the Monday blues. It's not been a particularly good day. For a start, I'm back at work. I'm rather glad of this in a sense, as the Christmas break has utterly bewildered my brain's sense of what day it is. Having a routine again is a big help. But that's not the problem. I've started practising the keyboard. I had piano lessons back at school but it's been twenty years since I seriously did anything with a keyboard and I'm horribly out of step with it all. My aim is half an hour, three times a week. I have some sheet music and a keyboard. Today was my second session - I've taken a step back from the piece I was practising last time and selected a simpler one. Much as I know this is the right thing for me to do at the moment, I'm still disappointed. I've resumed my chin-up training this morning. I have lost ground over Christmas. Now I need to work myself back up again. And I'm attempting to move my blog to its own hosting, a task that has proven Herculean. It still isn't done, despite much time and money, and the latest step failed to take my payment several times before my bank telephoned me to check I wasn't being defrauded. I'm despairing of ever getting this working, though I am now stepped in blood so far that to turn back would be as tedious as to go ere... Tonight's run should have helped to brighten me up. And it might have done, if I'd managed a decent one. Unfortunately some rather nasty stitches on both sides at once limited my run to a mere ten minutes. Barely more than a mile. Glad I got out at all, but again, disappointing. Everything is going badly and I'm questioning why I'm even bothering. But somehow, I'm still going. Tomorrow I'll get that damned website moving, get my work done, make some progress. Screw Monday. Bring on Tuesday.
