I've had quite a productive week, really. I took my bike in for fixing, took [livejournal.com profile] pto452 in for some more serious fixing, did a lot of washing, tidied up a bit, did my usual shifts at the Carlton, went to my usual orchestra rehearsal, ditto karate class, paid in some money, did a modelling session for a photographer (and got paid for it!), read some books I hadn't read before, practised piano and recorder (not at the same time) a bit, bought and helped to assemble a bookcase, reorganised the library, scanned in some images I'd been meaning to scan for ages (so I now have some new LJ icons), and bought a car (a K-reg Renault 5).

I also spent a lot of time with [livejournal.com profile] hoiho, who came down to visit for a few days. He's taken the job in High Wycombe, by the way.

And I'm starting my Shiny New Job tomorrow.

So why do I feel so utterly blank and hopeless?

...retry, ignore?

"So why do I feel so utterly blank and hopeless?"

Live through it. I started my Shiny New Job last month, and the blankness and hopelessness stayed in the background, except for being in the foreground whenever anything went wrong. Which they did, on several occasions, what with it being a new job and a very unfamiliar environment.

I was happy for several minutes on receiving my first shiny new pay cheque. You will be, too.

Hints and tips:

~ Breathe in.
~ Breathe out.
~ Notice how this kind of continues on its own.

You are now several seconds further through the blank and hopeless stretch. Make some tea.

Yeah, thanks, that's what I've been doing for the past 10 years or so.
