a beginning of the end of my blogging days?
I certainly hope so.
It's been really fun blogging and sharing my thoughts on this wonderful platform with friends and random strangers.
I hope to be able to continue with it once in a while. But what I sincerely hope is that my days of blogging will now either be numbered or destined for a drastic reduction. That's because once things work out with my lady, there'll be too many other things in life than blogging. Of course, that's not to say that there won't be the occasional blog now and then, but nothing to match the heydays.
On the front of the quest, I now count the seconds until I get to see her again. Each second brings me closer to her, so I do not begrudge time. Time does drag on very slowly, but to its credit, it does pass.
I try to spend as much time as possible keeping myself occupied - sleep is the most effective means, but also one of the most rare commodities at the moment. I tried to occupy myself with the comics, which used to be so much fun. But now the best I can do is skim through 100 odd pages in 5 minutes.
Television has suffered a major reversal in fortunes - a means of keeping my mind occupied for endless hours is now suddenly scraping the bottom of the barrel to merely retain my attention. Mindlessness of comedies grates on my patience, sentimentality of romances churns my composure, action thrillers seem pointless, horror holds no charm. It's only the occasional wildlife program or the occasional intelligent comedy which still manages to afford me a scant few moments of diversion.
In order to give a more concrete face to the passage of time, which quells my growing impatience, I made this simple spreadsheet, which tells me how many more seconds, minutes and hours I need to wait for the moment to arrive. The last time I made such a spreadsheet was under a much happier circumstance. It was the first time she had been home since we were together - the wait was agonizing then. But the end result was assured.
Now I just count the seconds which will take me to my chance at happiness. And hopefully, an end to my days of frequent blogging.
