Misfits Mid-Life Crisis Adventures in East London & Surrey (via M25 jct 6).

Week 326 Saturday 12^th until Friday 18^thSeptember 2020.

This week has not been a good one.  Physically I haven’t felt, it’s just a cold not the big “V”.  A lot of the week was spent asleep, to some this may sound lazy, but my body needed rest.  At the time of writing I’m still bunged up.  Blowing my nose, doing something so mundane in public these days is a little strange, because I have seen the worried looks from passers-bye.

Mentally I haven’t been well these last few days.  Part of the problem is my head is buzzing all the time with creative ideas, paintings, drawing and stories/scripts. Recently I have wondered if I should stop this blog, because the time I use to write this could be spent on completing stories.  This is something I need to consider.  Recently I have come up with a couple of story/script ideas, which i really like.  But I am realistic, if I did complete them they wouldn’t be read because I am not a professional writer (As you can tell from this shiz) who doesn’t have an agent.  But I have got to an age where I have to try and submit ideas.  I have said this before, I am not after fame and fortune, of course it would be nice to earn a little pocket money from being creative, but I realise I will always have to earn the majority of my money from a normal job.

That’s another major problem work.  Even though I am working from home (which is great) a call centre, is still a call centre!  It’s time I re-evaluated my life, unfortunately I suspect I will never really be happy with my employment.  Which is why I have a need to be creative?  A creative side, even part time would help ease the pain of the normal 40 hrs a week of **______________ (** insert job title).

This week I have felt like an old fashioned kettle sitting on top of a flame that couldn’t be turned off.  When the kettle boiled the mess was horrible.  I have to knuckle down with my creativity and finally get an answer to the ultimate question is anything I produce any good or total shiz!  If I was told go away, then at least I tried and wouldn’t have a choice but to carry on with the normal job.  Or course it would be lovely if someone liked what I produced and wanted it.  But this is not a movie, its real life.

This is a very stressful time for everyone.  I have reached out to friends and family.  Don’t be like an old kettle and boil over, speak to people.  Take care, let’s all be good to ourselves.
