Getting Auld
I have to admit it, I'm really getting old. For the first time I can remember, I have jetlag. Ye gods. First day back to work yesterday and I had to take the afternoon off to crash on my bed. Woke up around 8pm, and fell back asleep around 10ish, only to wake up at 2.30am, unable to sleep at all. Snoozed lightly around 5.30 to 7am, and then ( Read more... ) -
Vegetarian Month - Week 1
As a kind of penance and merit-gathering exercise, I've decided to be vegetarian for a month till Vesak Day. This poses a little bit of a problem here at work since there are no vegetarian stalls in the canteen nearby, although both the Western and Indian food stalls have certain vegetarian dishes.
Occasionally it has been a challenge when I want ( Read more... ) -
And Now, For Something Entirely Different...
When I first moved in, I bought a cheap lavender fragranced hand soap in a pump bottle, about half a litre's worth. It cost me about a buck fifty. I used it washing my hands (of course) and other light cleaning work, such as cleaning the sink and light cleaning of utensils ( Read more... ) -
Backsliding
Emotionally I'm definitely backsliding quite a bit. The negative feelings are coming back, and so is the fatigue. My pysch has decided to cautiously up the dose another 2.5mg, which means having to get a pill cutter to chop one pill into 4. It's a bit finicky but still doable (the Lexapro pills are really tiny ( Read more... ) -
Another Post?!?
Yeah, while I am waiting for the clock to hit 5.30pm so I can (for once) leave work on time. I'm so tired that I've fallen asleep twice today at my table, as the insomnia has been hitting me pretty hard lately, on top of piles of work. It's been a very productive week, but exhausting. My brain won't shut down even in the wee hours of the night, ( Read more... ) -
Decisions Decisions
Since my parents are still in a cold war, and I've gained a bit (ok, not just a bit) of weight, and am sure to be poked at and prodded by various relatives on both sides, I've seriously considered just disappearing to another country for the upcoming Chinese New Year holidays. This year is worse, since the holidays overlap the weekend, which means ( Read more... ) -
OMGWTF?!?
I've been playing horror online games lately, either out of morbid interest or because I wanted something to scare me awake. In any case, I was working the night duty last Saturday, and we close at 10pm with only 2 staff, myself and an operations assistant. The OA is currently seconded to us from another library branch, because one of our own OAs ( Read more... ) -
Blue
I'm having what I call a "blue funk" day. I get one (or several) every now and again. Today's is pretty bad. As in "why didn't I put a bullet through my head 10 years ago" kind of bad.
I would like to thank

Time to Move On?
The last couple of days have been a slight haze of cold-induced fogginess, but even aside from that, and the usual post-holiday-I-wanna-go-back-itis, there's a certain reluctance I feel now in the mornings as I get ready for work.
The love I have for this job and the environment, I think, is slowly eroding away. The two new colleagues don't help ( Read more... ) -
Kicked Out
gomichild and her husband went through some trouble to find an onsen that we could go to today. The place looked pleasant enough, and after a little trouble with buying a ticket from the vending machine, we grabbed locker keys and went in.
After disrobing and a quick shower, we sunk ourselves into a the small indoor pool first to warm up, and ( Read more... )
