It’s Life as I Know It

18 days into the year and I feel like I haven’t actually stopped yet.

I am going to take this self-imposed lunch break at work to give a status of my life.

That Report Card was something that I wanted to do as my first post of the year, and of course the obligatory Hottest 100 post.

But now…let’s stop and look.

HamBeerCricket. Now. Please?

I want the year to hurry up and end. My motivation for almost everything has hit rock bottom.

Work? Meh.

Blogging? Meh.

Christmas Shopping? Meh.

I am house-sitting for a mate for a week or so from Saturday.

All I want is:

Lots of This,

A Case of This,

And a few days of This…

That’s all, thanks.

And then?

Some of this…

Heating up!

Somehow, this year has screamed by so damn fast that it is already October.

OCTOBER PEOPLE! How? When did that happen? Wasn’t it just May, YESTERDAY?

Anyway…It’s the time of year when we start thinking about warmth, holidays, christmas, cricket and how to keep cool.

Fan sales go up. Air conditioners break down. Before it gets too hot, why don’t you buy that Evaporative Cooler?

I have also been thinking about how much more relaxed I feel around summer, which is why it’s the best season in the year.

For one, we all get a forced holiday which is awesome, and January is by far the slackest and easiest month of the year.

Throw in December Christmas Parties, News Years bashes and Test Cricket and you tell me that summer doesn’t rock.

So, it’s October? Bring on December already!

But then? Slow down. I want my summer to LAST.
