Facing life and finding a balance

Today we are going out for a daytrip to Rotherham. My girlfriend was born nearby and I haven’t been there at all. I’m not expecting much, but at least it will get us out of the house. Plans might change, however, as my girlfriend is getting excited about different local places to visit.

It has been an emotional week of deciding how to deal with various issues. I have made first contact with the local advice centre about my financial issues and my girlfriend has decided to pull out of OU for this year so she can deal with her anxiety. Our housemate is starting to take food and supplies again so we are making a list of what has gone missing so we can present it to her and ask for compensation. Doing it this way makes me feel less frustrated and helpless.

I have had to ring my dad to ask him to send my microphone in the post. By the sounds of it he never even read the email I sent last week. He’s a bit blonde sometimes. Hopefully I can start recording music again fairly sharpish.

My musical tastes are shifting away from Guided By Voices as I’ve been listening to them a bit too much. I’ve uploaded The Pigeon Detectives and The Hives onto my iPod, so basically I’ve fancied a bit of harder, faster rock.

The weather has gone from humid and sticky to heavy downpours. I wish it would find a happy medium somewhere.

I am looking forward to doing more things with my girlfriend and getting out more. I just hope we stick to the plan. Going out in the evening is the hardest to do, especially when you’ve settled on the couch.

Anyway, must dash.
