Normal Service Will Resume
The last month has been mad.
In the week before Christmas I had to put two issues of the paper to bed in three days. Then I co-hosted Summer Breakfast on RRR for two weeks; the second week of which I was back at work at MCV, and having to put the year'sfirst issue of the paper to bed on the same day that the office re-opened.
Then, this week, I had to put a 64 page magazine to bed, which I signed off on at 8pm on Friday; as well as the regular weekly issue of the paper, which went to the printers as per the usual course of things on Tuesday.
No wonder I've slept in until 11am the last two mornings; I've been exhausted.
So, now I can try and get my life back to its usual chaotic state of affairs, rather than the turned-up-to-11 intensity of recent weeks. In fact, I'm actually going to try and gear down even more; not a New Year's resolution so much as a New year's re-programming. There's a few things about my lifestyle that I not only need to change but want to change; there's debts I have to pay off, new priorities to set and a mixture of both new and old goals to achieve.
As I write this, things are still turbulent and out of focus, but I'm hoping that in the coming days, I'll begin to develop a clearer picture of where I stand, where I want to be, and the best way to start moving forward. Good heavens, I'm actually sounding optimistic for a change!

By now everyone I knew has stopped their resolution of diet/detox/exercise so be brave and keep up with what you want to do.
