I need a day with 36 hours...

greatbear...or perhaps more. My return to work has the unfortunate circumstance of taking a large chunk out of the day that I had grown accustomed to, and unfortunately had been squandering. Granted, there were a lot of things I was physically unable to do especially from the outset, but I had become apathetic and complacent in the last couple months and spent a lot of time simply moping. The lack of a paycheck contributed largely to this, of course. The lack of routine and productivity, however, probably played the biggest role. The ongoing pain that sometimes reared it's ugly head didn't help either.
But, at least judging by the last few days, the times they are a-changing. Thaat's a good thing.
The return of steady work prompted me to do something I had been waiting to do for the past month and a half or so - I bought a service manual for my Mini Cooper. Nice, comprehensive and detailed book by Bentley Publishing, it is more than twice as thick as the typical Haynes manual. I know that book will be sitting in the library (read: bathroom) for a while. Yeah, II am a huge gearhead geek, and I make no apologies for it.
My lack of time, at least for a while, has also cut into my LJ posting and especially following my friends entries. So if I seem a bit scarce, that's why. I also might come across as the last one making comments in your entries long after the crowd has figuratively dispersed. I am often guilty of being 'oh so five minutes ago', but this is not the case during this time. Well, maybe not totally. lol
