I was in a pub the other day (not this one) & the staff commented on how they hadn't seen me in a while. I was honest & said it was because recently I've struggled to find stuff worth drinking. 'Jan isn't the time for exciting drinks', came the reply. Exciting does not mean good by default.

I was going to clear the cobwebs and bad mood with a good walk but I'm left waiting in for the postman because they can't tell which door is mine and which is for the florist I share a building with.... you'd think the flowers everywhere would give the game away

After weeks of Festive Enforced isolation I had to go into the office for a team building day. My fibromyalgia pain has been really bad the past week too. By the time I left the office I was an anxious wreck and had an embarrassing meltdown down on the train with uncontrollable sobs and shakes

They've done the bedroom and the landing for today. What a difference that's made, my bedroom feels so much more brighter and more homely. Simple things, big impact

My current thinking is I've found a flight to Prague for £20 and then I'll make my way home overland via Southern Germany, Luxembourg, Netherlands and Belgium (railway travel very cheap)
...now to see if my friends in each of those locations are available

So I've got 6 days of leave I have to use in the next fews without killing my budget for Hong Kong/Taiwan in March. Sitting at home for a week is not an option as I've done that for the past month (thanks Xmas), time to formulate a plan

Typically yesterday was gloriously sunny and I wallowed in my flat all day. Today I planned a 7 mile that completed multiple errands and got me exercise...I woke up and the weather said , I don't think so ☔☔☔☔ time for a rethink

I made the right call , I was indeed never getting to London. 😔
In the past 2 weeks I've spoken to 1 person over a couple of lunchtime pints and that's it. I've even only had 3 Teams calls at work and the only other people I've spoke to are bar staff. I really do despise this time of year

Well, someone bought my ticket for the show tomorrow so I'm only £40 out of pocket for the hotel. Thankfully my winnings from betting on the wrestling the other week covers that

As I know Xmas is very disruptive/isolating I booked tickets in advance to go to EVE wrestling in London. Take a day off work, enjoy my favourite things, go to the show stay overnight.All sounds great, but it's tomorrow and I'm thinking with the travel disruption I might be best sacking if off 😥

Finished off my 2026 bingo card , all the things I would like to achieve, try, see and do in the best year.
The most outlandish is seeing lucha libre wrestling in Arena Mexico. The most specific is a walk between 2 pubs
Just need to complete 4 to beat last year

Not celebrating Christmas means I'm not sick of chocolate or on a health kick (lost over 1.5kg during December I'll have you know).
Lindor Xmas Truffle bites, £2.50 reduced to 63p, I cleared the shelf 🤣

The Midnight Library by Matt Haig, started this on Thursday and devoured it to completion today. A really good read, a very relatable character and a world I wanted to get lost in. 📖
