#15. Silver Linings

It's been a while since I've posted here. Reasons being, 1) I want a break from hassle for a while (logging on and checking mail usually causes stress from the amount of mail you have and _have_ to answer). So, I haven't been logging on too much lately and 2) When I do log on it's in work, and I don't have time to be ranting on about stuff. When I do feel like writing something, I'm not near an internet connection. (I must get a modem for home). Or else take Ste's suggestion and fire up notepad to tap some stuff out. Then upload it the next day. There's a plan.

I've been taking stuff easily lately. Avoiding stress. Doing half-days in work. Just taking a breather from hassle, yet still making some money to fund the evenings. It's great to be able to go out and not have to tell someone where you've been and what you've been doing, and not to worry about doing something wrong or talking to the wrong person or not talking to the right person or not talking at all or talking to much or not waiting for someone or saying the right thing or getting too drunk or not coming home or going back to a party or staying in a strange place or waking up in Dun Laoighaire or doing something crazy or dancing with death/traffic or whatever. It feels good. Y'know what I mean - it's all about the silver linings.

Have moved back in with parents. Which is bad coz I have to ring if I'm not coming home and if I do come home, it's not a 10 minute walk anymore, it's a £10 taxi trip. Which is good coz I get dinner on the table and a magic corner which does the laundry. Again, the silver linings are what gets me through.
