Politics

Left wing political views plus anxiety and stress equals internal voice constantly railing against The System (capitalism). As Trump would say: no good! Tired of it. What good has it done anyway, to simply believe in something and not have it influence your actions? I'm seeing my relatives in UKIP country this weekend and I'm going to be nice to them. I love them. Quite a few of them probably voted for Brexit. It's water under the bridge.

Not Politics

The pipe under the kitchen sink broke two days ago so the water had to drain out into a bucket. That was fixed yesterday. The electricity meter (yeah, we don't have an actual contract because this is a really crappy flat) is about to run out. So we are not heating the flat. Cold. My flatmates tell me that despite these two things, the period that I have lived here has been exceptionally incident-free. What a blessing.

Work is going alright. Using Node.js and Express which is a nice change of scene. Learning about new libraries and add a few new things to my CV. It was easy to pick up, probably because I'm quite used to working with web stuff now... The feeling of finishing work at 6pm or so and finding the sun has gone down is way more depressing than I thought it would be. I need to take Vitamin D. I just keep forgetting. So much of life's problems seem to resolve around not having actual habits. It's almost 1am.

The latest episode of Note to Self has brought me some comfort. I recommend this show.
