Back to the daily grind

Although I love working and really enjoy my job, the last few months since I got back from christmas break where I did loads of exercise and cool stuff, I have found it very, very hard to sit down and do my work. Even at work, I'm going off at around 11am to walk around the buildings and come back to my desk because I crave the outside break so much.

And if I do go for a walk - even upstairs or to another building to pick something up or drop something off, then when I get back, I fidget and don't what to concentrate on my work. I want to go on a 'moonwalk' like Mr Squiggle used to (Australian TV).

My painting is going really well - lots of creative works coming out no problem. Scrapbooking comes in waves. But I've started to slack off at home again; so I know I've got to pull my socks up and get back on track again. My shorts keep falling down - and I don't want to get new ones cause I only bought these in October last year! Hardly had any wear on them at all.

I can feel that I have lost weight, but can't necessarily always see it. But that's ok.

Month of February:

NUMBER OF TIMES I'VE BEEN BIRDING THIS YEAR (SO FAR at home) : 1 (its been a bit hot and humid of late)

NUMBER OF SCRAPBOOKING LAYOUTS I"VE CREATED : 3

NUMBER OF THINGS I PLANTED IN MY GARDEN : 1 new rose bush I bought in Feb. It's supposed to be shorter, but has gorgeous David AUstin like flowers and has a classic fruity scent.

NUMBER OF PAINTINGS I'VE FINISHED : 2 (rosella and my van gogh inspired one)

NUMBER OF TIMES I CRAVED FOR CHOCOLATE: 1 (right now - really bad!)

NUMBER OF TIMES I WHACKED ELBOW (I FORGET WHICH ONE) INTO SOMETHING (WHERE I NEEDED ICE) : 6

NUMBER OF TIMES I BECAME SADIE THE CLEANING LADY AND DID AN AWESOME CLEAN UP JOB IN ONE OF MY ROOMS: 1.5 - I cleared the dining room table, and a part of the laundry (where I found two bags of knick knacks from when I moved in that I forgot to put out. I think they can almost go straight to the charity shop.

NUMBER OF TIMES I PUT SOMETHING INTO ORDER: I picked up ALL the DVDs littered around the base of the TV and put them away where they belonged. I closed the glass cabinet with a decisive bang, and then heard a whole row topple over. Arrgghh!

NUMBER OF TIMES I SPOOKED MYSELF WITH REFLECTIONS ON SHINY SURFACES : 8+ (seem to be very jumpy this month - or I have cleaned more than was previously done)

NUMBER OF TIMES I PLAYED THE PIANO : 4 (Terrible I know)

NUMBER OF WEIRD CREATURES I CAME ACROSS : 2 - a very pretty moth at work that I caught and released (cream lacey effect with a couple of very small red dots on the back wings), Skink in the garden when I was watering - biggest one I've ever seen - almost a foot long, and its body about twice a pencil thickness. It was really quite beautiful but very panicked. I told it not to worry. I wasn't going to hurt it.
