As one could probably infer from the half-hearted attempt at sprucing up my blog's layout (I'm getting bored with it but as it is I lack the motivation to actually learn proper coding and stuff)... this bumming business is slowly getting to me. It might very well soon chew me up and spit me out as a soggy mess.

I tell myself that the time I have on my hands could well and truly be a windfall. No doubt this will elicit vigorous nods of agreement from those in their honours year. Yet the abundance of time in the absence of deadlines is proving to be a backfiring situation of sorts. Time to draw up a schedule of stuff to do daily? This would probably involve some revision of the Thai language, independent bible study, time with my guitar, and observing how many times Richie wakes up to shift positions in the course of his day-long nap. It sickens me to find how the morning whizzes by and all I've done is to peruse the newspapers and potter aimlessly around the house. Oh. And twiddle about with the layout of the mission trip prayer letter. I reiterate, any long-term job I take on must NOT require long hours at the computer. *hiss*

A time to refocus, review, and reorganise. And in the midst of all that, to not lose sight of the BIG picture. Now, THAT'S tough.
