nothing in particular

i had forgotten the password for blogger - shows how long i have been away and how rapidly my brain cells are deserting me. i tried different combination - no go. i got frustrated - i did not think of clicking on the 'i-am-so-dumb-i-forgot-my-password' button. i gave up, thought i would never blog again. And then, unfortunately, the password came back. Must have been wandering about like my random thoughts. And so i am back. What is new, you ask me? i don't know. The past week, it must have been hormones, i was as irritable as only i can be. i blew my fuse a couple of times - thankfully not at work - trivial things set me off and i seriously thought i should go for anger management therapy or whatever they suggest for angry people. i was sore with the whole world. i wanted to chop down trees - OK, i exagerrate. Would it have anything to do with the moon being too close to the earth and all the influence it seems to exert on my dark side? Three months here now. The weather here is fickle - i mean, one moment it is shining so bright you think you just might evaporate and then it starts raining like someone just turned on a giant shower. Do i like it here? i honestly don't know. i am trying to adjust. i miss Sainsbury's and Tesco. i miss the library where i could borrow all the books i want for free. i have not been able to find a library here near my place. i have heard the membership here is like 50$ - annual i hope. WHich is outrageous. There is this lady who sells books - used and new - in the basement of the office complex. The old ones are like 5$ per book - 5 f@@@@@@**&^^^ dollars! Despite that, i have already bought three - i need books to keep me sane. Only when i am reading do the beasts inside me keep quiet. i need books. i need cheap books. i need books. i need books. Shut up. We bought cycles. Mine is a foldable one in orange (i wanted red but the elf said orange so orange it was). The one good thing about this place is they have this cycling tracks in the parks. i bought one of those gel-filled seats for my sensitive rear. And a helmet. He bought one in blue. The elf already has two cycles and a scooter. i think he is getting spoiled. i hate the new look of blogger - was trying to post from my iphone but i found it difficult to navigate my way around. i know, i know, i am technically challenged. The craziest thing is that i now get up at 7 in the morning on weekdays. At first i thought i would die if there is such a thing as dying because you get up too early. And then, as with all things in life, i got used to it. Initially, there were meetings from 7 in the morning three days a week. Out of consideration for me most probably - i mean i sound like a grouchy bear at 7 - two of the meetings are on the same day now. At least this means i get to leave office early. And i found out that i have a red thumb - i seem to kill everything i plant. He has the greenest thumb i know. i try to grow corrainder - and out of 100 seeds or so, three actually sprouted - they don't look like they will survive though. On that sad note, i sign off.
