Day 5: Nom nom nom for mind and soul

Day five!!! That's nearly a quarter of the way through the sabbatical. Today was a nervous but good day :)) I nearly overslept and woke with a start! MUST GO SWIMMING! Got down to the pool and had a bad sesh. Only 20 laps and I pulled a muscle in my boob.

But nom nom nom'd down some breakfast of scrambled eggs, melon and potato bits and moved on to doing some serious writing. It's kinda cool. I'm doing something completely alien to my day to day work. Writing about a fantasy world where spreadsheets don't exist. Well maybe not, but that might be my new project.

This morning I was feeling down about how the evening ended, or rather my thoughts at the end of the evening. Downing a large bottle of beer very quickly probably explains the oversleeping. But thanks to you guys and your comments, texts, tweets and calls I quickly came around. You guys are awesome. I just have two requests: keep in touch (it feels me with positive energy) and (for work pals) don't let Jess throw out all of my stuff/(for family) don't let Mum throw out all my stuff.  Is that actually three requests?

I'm writing this earlier then before.  It's 5.15pm and I've still got a group dinner and activity session to look forward to. I've just come back from an individual look at my writing with Laurie and feeling quite energised. I learnt a lot in just 45 mins, and have an assignment to complete for tomorrow's evening sesh.  Looking forward to it. I wonder if this counts towards my 40 hours of CPD (continued professional development)?

So I have an hour to dinner. Do I sleep, snooze or simply just rest my eyes for a bit? Life is hard here on the Ranch :)
