Is there more coffee?

[jadesfire]

I am not feeling particularly awesome today. Mostly, I am cold, tired and hungry (I just ate, so am waiting for it to kick in). And a little grumpy, but that's just randomised stress that I can't seem to get rid of.

Despite this, today I am awesome because I cycled all the way to work in 21 minutes. And that included two nose-blowing stops, because damn, it's cold out there. Also, I am awesome because I got coffee from the staff room without getting cake as well. That's been one of my big blind-spots lately, I think. I'll help myself to a piece at morning break, then another at lunch, then completely forget about them and have another with afternoon break. I think. It's hard to tell, since I tend to forget! So the plan down to Easter is not to have the cake at all, which will be horribly hard, but then I can go back to having it after Easter once I know I'm in charge, not it! I will be master of my own cake consumptions! Mwahahahaha *cough*

Thanks for all the recipes yesterday, guys. Between you and the BBC Good Food magazine, I fully intend to eat well over the coming months :)

So tell me, how are you awesome today?

I am really impressed, by the way, with your determination in the Battle of Cake, and with your bike-riding, and everything.

I know it's a constant struggle -- I have my own versions of that -- and I'm proud of you for keeping on.

Also, I forgot to mention that I am awesome because I've become more proactive about getting work. I'm finding opportunities to promote myself instead of waiting to get noticed. This isn't really in my nature, and feels odd, but I think it's working.

*grin* I love the capitalisation there. The Battle of the Cake makes it sound like there should be broadswords involved.

Like you said above, it's a slow painful process, and I very much have to battle the attitude of "if it's hard/difficult/causes you discomfort you shouldn't do it". It's the kind of thing that's true in some circumstances, but is too easy to apply to everything.

Go you! It certainly seems like you keep posting "I got a commission from talking to someone" - would be interesting to go back through your journal and see how many times that comes up!
