Day Three – Change Of Pace

I probably don’t have to mention that for the past couple of days as I’ve started my detox, I felt somewhat sorry for myself.

Being so focused on all the things I can’t have and not do as apposed to all the things I can have, because there is actually quite a lot of things I can have, made me look at the negative side of the detoxification process.

Plus I felt like shit, which didn’t help.

However, today is a new day.

I feel good today. So far I don’t have a headache, I don’t feel sick, and I’m not craving anything. I do have aching legs though, not sure what that’s about, but my calves and my thighs have a dull ache about them.

Yes, today I feel good. I feel alert, although still a bit tired, and I feel like I can now manage this better than I thought.

How is the throat I hear you ask?.. it’s getting there. I picked up an elixir to help with the gland issue, and it’s helped quite a bit. It’s still sore, but it’s getting better and that’s the main thing. I was warned that the elixir would taste horrible, but I actually quite like it.

In other news, I’ve decided to take up a degree in business studies next year, which is exciting, and slightly daunting. Enrolments are in January and the degree starts in March.

Of course I’m going to need a laptop, bring on the January sales.

We’ll also need a washing machine, an outdoor setting, and maybe a BarBQ. Bring on Decembers pay day with my backdated pay rise.

But, I may be looking at an opportunity to get into Project Controls, so it might be worth my while forking out $900 and going to the Australian Institute of Management in January for their 2 day project management workshop. PM was never something I saw myself getting into, but project control is different. I know a man who knows a guy who has way too many financial controllers on his project team and needs someone who does everything but the financial stuff, which is pretty much me in a nut shell. (you’d need a big nut to stick me in a nutshell though).

But then there’s the whole ‘Australia needs to get on the renewable energy bandwagon’ which I completely agree with, and they need a renewable trading scheme like they have in the UK. I’d love to be involved in that sort of thing again, but I think it’s going to be a long way off. Maybe I should pen a letter to Mr Rudd.

Ah, aspirations, what would we do without them?
