I am so happy and grateful for this cushion on which I’m sitting. It’s not comfortable but it’s more comfortable than the floor.

I am so happy and grateful to go outside today. It takes an effort! We thought about going out yesterday but with nowhere to really go we got lazy and just stayed at home. Today we are doing some shopping.

I haven’t been particularly happy over the last couple of weeks – all the uncertainty in the world got me thinking too much.
Tomorrow I go back to school (for now at least) and despite really not wanting to go back to work, I think the routine will be useful for me.
I am already thinking about other things I can do ie. now motivated by one thing and provoking others.
This time has not been unproductive but has sometimes been a struggle. I’m motivated to get back into writing this (in my journal) again.

An absurd life! ….whether you struggle or whether you don’t, you will die and rot just the same.

I am so happy and grateful that I have finished sorting out my CDs into their cases. That took so long to complete and it feels like a huge burden lifted.

I am so happy and grateful for our Frangipani trees. Blooming and fragrant even in this drought.
I am fond of reading and listening but as to believing, no thank you, I can’t, and I don’t want to.

Friday now. I talked with Hayden on Wednesday and he told me that his girlfriend had gotten pregnant. I pondered becoming a grandad but then he told me that she had got an abortion. I didn’t really have any reaction to this news – it’s not something I can change or choose to judge. He and his girlfriend will deal with it the best that they can.
I have been enjoying being in my room again though I’m still not 100% happy with the layout – it’s not quite comfortable yet.
