Ups & Downs

[lightofdaye]

So I finished my smutty_claus piece and submitted over the weekend which was great. But what with on thing and another I'm feeling quite frazzled, now.

Part of which, is recruiters calling me up. This is not something I should complain about really. But they're never quite for things I would apply for myself and you never feel like you can say 'no not interested' because... any job at the moment is something I should be going for.

But it also invariably involves travelling somewhere at short notice, that I haven't bit before. Today's involved two trains and taxi to get to a place a county over. So although it went a lot better than I expected, I'm still worn out.

Doesn't help that I've not slept well the last two nights.

On the plus side I do have a second interview for a job I actually applied for next week, which I have hopes for.



Any unwinding suggestions appreciated.

Hi! Oh, this feeling of "meh this kind of sucks but I can't really complain bec look at that"... I'm always absolutely exhausted when I have to take the subway, bus etc for a long time. I hope you'll be able to sleep better soon! If you need a tonic in the morning and that you like ginger, I recommend infusing fresh, peeled ginger root. Add a generous dose of honey. This is excellent for immunity and it's delicious.
As for blowing off the steam in general, well.. I have my own ways of doing that but it's a question of hobbies I guess? I like to knit (maybe while watching a show), cook, ... What fo you like to do to relax?
Congrats on finishing your smutty_claus piece!! Can't wait to read it :)

Thanks for the understanding and the advice nearly!

Yeah, now I'm not anticipating complicated journey's to new places, I did much better thanks.

A rl friend actually rang me up last night, so that distracted me and I read Chamber of Secrets for a bit before turning in as well.
