There was a lizard in our house :D I was not home, my flatmate was alone, and she did not have bug-killing spray. The guy she called for help opened the mosquito screen and let it out, which means it's still out there. Alive. Honestly, why do lizards not go extinct? This was the 6th one. Lizard VI.
I am not meeting ANY of my 2024 goals. I want to assess my first quarter.
I finished my contract with a company end of December. There was so...much happening all through last year that when the contract ended on 31 December, I just let myself drift for a bit, enjoying the fleeting feeling of weightlessness. Of course, wrong move, because by end of January I had to start looking for a job and typically, finding something takes about two months.
I have decided that instead of one job, I would take on two and maintain that from here on. If your mode of works allows it, always have two jobs. If one wraps up or gets chewed out of existence by retrenchment, you have something that continues to bring in the money, which we all know we can't live without, even if we wanted to.
I have landed two jobs btw, so I am okay.
Kotler, no progress. Sorry, love. Not working out either. Sorry, body.
I have started doing my Digital Marketing course though, but progress is slow because of my restlessness, my impatience. If I could still myself, I would finish off my course in a two weeks. I don't get it. I used to be so patient, but now, I have the restlessness of a caged animal. Maybe I am feeling caged, you think? Like a nomad caged inside the walls of a city-rooted existence. Or maybe, I have too much on my plate, which seems to have become something of a trend these days in my life. Or am I deliberately taking on too much? Is it possible that, after years of championing for a peaceful life, I have now become incapable of enjoying it when it comes along because I have been rewired by the circumstances I have lived through in the past 7 years? Oh fcuk.
Watched Dune 2. Loved. It. I need to own the books.
Of late not very many films can....inspire. You know, make you want to do something epic and unforgettable. The movie smashed through a certain jadedness I had been feeling and moved me simply because it showed me a such different world. It reinstalled wonder, like Lord of the Rings once had.
After not being so hot for chocolate ice cream all my life, I have done a 180 and cannot stop having it. Noto is a lifesaver....it's got less sugar so yay! It's got a proper deep dark flavour that has managed to, if not replace, at least stand right next to my all-time favourite mint and chocolate. Happy days.
