Another Selfie in my Winter Coat on a Grey Day

kk first time I type it…this WINTER, this never-ending winter, it suuuuucks so f-cking mega hard complete garbage worst in 25 years EVER.  

100 days of winter, a THIRD of a year.

My tricks aren’t working anymore (it’s the price of living in Canada / you could live in Rwanda / this / makes us a tough people) but nope. Over. It.

If it’s possible to perish from ennui, I might.
Such a first-world thing to say, don’t care.

I have no new photos to blog because I haven’t taken any, why, it’s just more big black boots and coat, vacant eyes framed by dirty grey snow.

Oh there’s plenty to do (today I published 4 articles across 3 sites, plus a Mississauga meeting), but boooored, it all feels so beige, blablablaaa. That’s why Twitter & Instagram sit neglected. What is even the point of anything. It’s all meaningless.

All right enough now, emo post out, one last time, this WINTER.

</rant>

That actually kinda helped. Thanks.

TTY Monday, least it’s the weekend eh! Hope it’s a good one.

I’m still sick, so I haven’t much planned: some blog backend work lined up, a couple places to be, I hear the casino calling, and put some time into About pages and a spreadsheet.

And go for a long, destination-less drive, that always helps.

If you’re into that too, here’s a couple drive routes I designed: one for morning, one for night, and my favourite on-ramp in Toronto.

 

 

The Rhythm of a Week

Remember my video a couple years ago:

The Rhythm of a Year

So… December is a right-off… everyone’s focused on tidying up loose ends from the year, preparing for the new one, and parties.

I’ve been drilling down on that theory since then, and think I’ve found the pattern of a week.

The Rhythm of a Week:

Monday – Thursday – a sprint to the finish, nose planted to grindstone
Thursday night – best night of the week always
Friday – tidying up what happened M-Th, and errands. Friday’s can always be accomplished in jogging pants
Friday night – no talking, maybe a quiet and reflective beer
Saturday – Sunday – have fun, then #SundayCleaning to start off the new cycle clean, prepared and ready to attack

Therefore, bring those 2 theories together,
and there’s really only
2 business weeks left in 2013

( I do seem to start to get reflective around now, eh)
