More holidays…..

Now here’s a weird outcome of the recession: it seems that lots more people in the US are refusing the claim the bodies of family members so they don’t have to pay for their funerals. Which is apropos of nothing else in my life – I just thought it interesting enough to share.

It’s been a bit of an unmotivated time for me, lack of sleep over the weekend leading to a bit of a depressive fritz over the last few days. But I’m feeling somewhat better today and I expect that trend to continue as I head to Victoria over the weekend and out kayaking early next week. I think beyond lack of sleep, August is not a month I particularly like – too aimless somehow, too undirected. The tail-end of summer, everything is drying up and starting to go to seed. The general malaise that seems to dominate people around. I find it hard to care about much in August. Tiring. And unfortunately it’s how I’ve been feeling the past week.

I am glad about the fact I’ve got another week of holidays coming up next week and that I’ve got plans to spend lots of time with Brian and with other friends. I feel like it’s time for a reset in general. Resettting goals, plans, and commitments…. I’m thinking upon my return from holidays I will be doing just that.
