Doing the whole sitting in a café, idyllically, thing again. It’s not a bad way to be. Was hoping to be at work sooner, but you can’t win ’em all.

Was hoping to have coffee at home too, but the kettle that’s there is rusted heavily on the inside and so instead I’m sitting here, just vibing as the kids say. Just enjoying life, auramaxxing, that kind of thing. The weather is shit, but life is good.

Still losing a lot of money, but continuing on. That’ll stop soon. Tonight I’m getting back to cooking, prepping lunches, all those things. Getting back to being healthy, and working hard on it. Going to make the last of this year my year. Nearly halfway through, there’s still plenty of time to turn things around. Plenty of time to get into a better position, but need to make the most of every day and all that. And I will!

So I sit here and I beaver away on this bit of writing, and it’s a good day. It’s a bad day but it;s a good day. It’s heavy weather, but pleasant weather, and cool and warm and I’m already sweaty, but I won’t be later. I’ll be all snug and wrapped, and I can get on with the getting on and all that razzmatazz. And things will be fine and continue on, because I can make it happen so long as I put the work in, and by golly I’m gonna.

But right now, in this moment, sitting here is nice. Sitting here is pleasant. I’ve a moment to pause and think and relax a bit, so I am relaxing. I am taking it easy. Gotta do a big rush home this afternoon and that won’t be fun, but that’s for later. For now, I’m just gonna take it easy. I’m gonna enjoy my coffee and the easy music, and I’m gonna appreciate life as it currently is, because I’m alive and I can make things happen, and I will. I will work on it and make things happen.

Well, I hope I will. There is always no telling as to what will happen down the road, of course, but that’s not an issue right now. Right now it’s all about just getting on with the getting on, and moving out of survival mode and getting back into a position of improving. Lowering stress, calming down, appreciating what I currently have. Living life and all that.

I think this café is getting to me. I think its hipness is striking me down in ways I never expected. It’s changing my position in life and making me become “down” with the “lingo” of today.

But seriously, I’m just feeling happy. Sweaty, tired, wrecked, but happy. Things are okay, and they’re getting better. Just need to keep on working on it until they are where need to be, and where I need to be. If I don’t do that, then I’m backsliding. Rather walk forward.

The time it took to write five-hundred words: 07:10:43

I thought I shared this earlier. Didn’t, apparently.

Anyway, bit of a mess, bit not a mess. Sits somewhere around there.
