I am starting to get used to getting up around six in order to catch the 6.36am Wilton to go to the gym before work. Mum reckons that it takes about three weeks for a habit to form, so I'm a third of the way there. After another two, it might become easier. Either that, or I will have also formed a habit of going to bed an hour or more earlier than I used to, which will also make a difference. That one will be a lot harder, though.

However, I find it means that I get tired much more quickly in the evenings and also that it feels like I have less time. Tonight, while not being a particularly good example: I got home after seven (had a meeting until about 6.30pm), came online, checked emails and livejournal, put in the fix that Alessan showed me for the win32 error, which actually worked, did dishes, spent some time mucking around with Ceaser3 and Castle of the Winds (did one and a half mine levels) before deciding that it was about time to go to bed. ie, now.

The fix working means that I didn't get a couple of things done that I quite wanted to: continue checking quoth_the_ravyn's latest chapter, which I meant to and didn't, and finish updating the catalogue for the three piles of books on my desk.

First thing in the morning, something that would otherwise take about ten minutes frequently takes about twenty. My thought processes work rather slowly and fixedly. The other morning on the bus a girl got on, wearing a jacket the exact same shade of maroon as my high school blazers were. I wondered vaguely as she stepped up to the bus driver and had her ticket clicked why a Hamilton Girl's High School hostel girl was getting on the bus at this time of the morning. Then she turned to face me as she went to find a seat and I realised that the jacket, while the right colour, was not actually a HGHS blazer, furthermore, I was in Wellington and a HGHS hostel girl would not be here and would not be wearing, what is, after all, a rather ugly blazer. The entire thinking process after she sat down took about ten minutes, until we overlooked the bay and I was distracted onto another topic.

Am going to curtail plans for Saturday, I think. I had been thinking of going to Te Papa in between practice and the party I'm not invited to, but instead will stay home, do stuff and relax. Might go to Te Papa on Sunday, after the Around the Bays.

And happy birthday to atomic_susan!
