The Magician – 14th August 2024

A promise of one thing
– Delivery of another
The truth outstanding

The magician’s deceit, a procured receipt
The politician’s defeat

…Yet still perfects the landing

Today I’m feeling:

Average to fair.  Didn’t sleep for long enough again but forced myself up and to do a little 10-minute exercise and hope to start getting back into it.

I still have headaches and my voice and throat is still a little sore and croaky.  I’m in a reasonable headspace though.

Health:

Physical: 6
Mental: 7

Today I’m grateful for:

My adaptability. As I’m entering details into the blog from when I started working in high school at CRPAO I can see how I have managed to adapt myself to the environment and become more flexible and understanding.

The best thing about today was:

Jet, Lin and Mai, my old grade 9 students, love touching my belly for some reason but today Lin squealed and called over Jet and they were both disappointed to feel that I have lost some belly fat.

I’m not actually sure that I have but this made me feel good that perhaps some of the exercising that I have been doing these past few years may be having some small effect.

Something I learned today?

I spoke to Hayden yesterday and he has moved into a new place, which he seems happy with.  He also reckons he’s on for a new workplace which will give him a little more money and better working conditions.  I hope that he gets that.

He has a few days off and is flying down to Melbourne to get a tattoo.  Seems a long way to go just for a tattoo but, I guess he’ll be doing other stuff whilst there.  I think his mum is still supporting him too much but he’s slowly getting there to stand on his own two feet.
