Another month done and dusted! I'm glad something is. Dusted, that is. My house certainly isn't. But it's all part of keeping up with the trends now that Halloween is apparently a thing in Australia. Cobwebs and dust FTW!
Anyway, what can I say about October?
Well, curiously it is the only month of the year that begins with an O. It comes after September and right before November.
What is the point of this meaningless information? I'm glad you asked. The thing is, I'm trying hard to think of something remotely interesting that I did during this illustrious month and what have I come up with?
NOTHING.
This reminds me of that phenomenon known as small talk.
The scenario goes like this.
I am busy doing all the numerous things that we call life.I get a phone call or bump into some one I know.
Them: What you have you been up to?
Me: Um.....
My mind goes blank and I forget every single thing I have ever done in my entire life.
It can't be just me. Can it?
Suffice to say that I'm sure I did some something worthwhile in October.
This blog was dutifully updated each week for your entertainment.
I shared what I've learnt about blogging and pondered the difference between being tidy or organised.
Related: my de-cluttering mission has been kind of on again off again. But slow progress is better than no progress. Isn't it?
I attempted to become all zen and mystical, to calm my manic mind from its swirling thoughts. From over thinking about my dubious attempts at de-cluttering and numerous other pointless ponderings.
I considered taking up yoga and transcendental meditation. Pffffft. Yeah, RIGHT. That thought didn't repeat itself, oddly enough.
Instead, I turned to yet more distraction like a normal person. This involved watching a plethora of programmes on my laptop.
Including:
The Wrong Girl
Rosehaven
Catastrophe
The Secret
Home Fires
And many more.
This ongoing quest to avoid reality also meant I continued to read up a storm. And since I was on a roll, I decided to participate in triathlon!
Well, MY kind of triathlon, anyway. Sniff.
There were more appointments, including my first ever with a dietitian.
My recommended eating plan is low fat and low GI.Talking or writing about diets is terminally boring, so I won't say anything more about it. Furthermore, each time I publicly announce these things I always spectacularly fail. Oops. Moving on...
So that was a very underwhelming October.
BUT... if this time last year has taught me anything it's that boring is good. God I love boring.
I hope you do too. Because this post was certainly a good cure for insomnia. Ahem.
And with that I am now all over November. Game ON. Actually pyjamas still on. Maybe I better get dressed...
Linking up (late!) for The Month That Was
