Oh-oh, vindaloo

Been back at work for a week. Alot of kinks to work out of the new schemes, ideas and how things work. Not to mention the overwhelming feeling of the first week.

The words are knackered and manky.

Trying to study in the mornings and on the train rides. Got alot of stuff to fix tomorrow, especially for the singing lessons. How am I to get any effective teaching done in 20 minutes? Plan, plan, plan.

Managed to have two days of straight roleplaying though. Alot of fun has been had, but I'm running on fumes and coffee. I belive I've had five double espressos today. I can't say that's a good thing. I've had some of those fever spikes I get when I'm way to tired. Not a sick thing. Just from being tired. Wish I knew a physiological explanation for that.

Tomorrow. Planning. Laundry. Gym. Study. Make food for the week. Practice guitar. Sleep. Argh.

Hammer smashed place.

Argh. 3 weeks of stone sawing, digging, steel pipe welding and all kinds of annoying things. The noise is giving me a permanent headache. Which is interesting since I'm in a Cannibal Corpse kind of mood and listening alot to that.

I can see some sort of equation.

Again the septemberness makes itself known in how bad, sad and crappy things just spring out and hit people in the face.

Been training today. And I'm pretty tired. Going to try to use that to get to bed a bit earlier.

Enter the darkness.

Fall has arrived. Rain, wind, greyness and darkness.

Just about everyone I know is slightly depressed or sick. I feel it too. I've had trouble sleeping again, for no good reason.

There's a basic feeling of... uneasyness. Feeling unsafe.

Fight back. Huddle up. Love. Care. Go forth and wear rain proof clothes.

Spinn me baby.

Went back to the gym today after a weeks illness. Hot poo. It was a massive hour of cycling whilst sitting still.

Turned most of the room I live in upside down yesterday in search of research books and roleplaying papers. I've found everything except ONE damn book. I have a pile of unsorted books in a... hard to reach area of the room. (sounds implausible I know, the room is tiny, but trust me) Or, it could be in the moving boxes where my furniture reside. Ouch. Need to find that bastard.

I feel I manage to keep very busy without accomplishing all that much. Even whilst sick I filled my days with writing, reading and guitar. Stuff that don't leave alot of trace in the amount of accomplished work department. Maybe I can... track my progress somehow? So I feel more ok about it?

Thursday I'm heading southward for a private lesson. Going to help a guy find which guitar group he should be applying for. As I have a huge range now from beginners to really competent players.

Still missing responses from both one proffessor at KTH and from my boss at work, who has not replied to the e-mail criticizing that things get put off. Fun that.

Fighting the man.

Still ill. And I've started a possible fight with a superior at work because of bad handling and treatment. It will be interesting to watch how this evolves.

Spent the day writing and baking. Made this awesome raspberry cheesecake. Three layers. Top is raspberry sauce, with whole raspberries and sour cream. Then a layer of raspberry cheesecake with white chocolate. The lowest layer is vanilla cheesecake with yet more white chocolate. The bottom is a cocoa infused digistive layer with chunks of dark chocolate. This to be served with homemade Baileys ice-cream that I made simultaneously.

There will be epic noms.

This also reminds me that I got a photobucket acount and that I should have taken pics of all this. I blame me being ill. And that I still have no rutine for keeping the camera with me.

Finally got somewhere in my kth proffessor hunt. One proffessor seems to have been spreading the rumor that he has retired. He has not. He just dosn't like having to do administrative work. I will have to hunt the other more ferociously though. With another e-mail. From another adress. Wow.

11 out of the 12 courses I had planned to do at work this fall have started. Sadly the one I personally was most interested in doing hasn't got of the ground yet. "Scales and Improvisation". Which is weird as many students asked for this course, but only one has applied. Well, there's another 3-6 weeks until things really start so, who knows?
