Unsatisfying

andrewduckerIt's been a fairly unsatisfying couple of weeks.
I enjoyed Autodidactic being here, but we didn't really click that well. She was nice, I was nice, but we never really got into anything. We chatted about bits and pieces, but that was about it. I'm holding myself almost entirely responsible for this, because I've not been productive in much of anything for a while - and the stuff I am at all productive in (coding) tends to be solitary work.
I've liked Leslie's writing for a while now, she likes mine, we both like lots of similar things, and did we talk about any of this? No.
Thinking back on the week she was here, I was away for a couple of days of it (Alan Moore), she had a friend down for one night that I had a nast headache for, I was gaming one night, so we spent maybe 1 complete day and 3 evenings together. Which would, you'd think, be plenty of time to hang out and discuss all sorts of things. But I spent most of that time feeling unenthusiastic and tired. Annoying, because I'd spent the week before feeling enthusiastic and awake and it's not every day that people travel hundreds of miles to say hello.
Anyway, not a huge problem, because I still enjoyed seeing her, we got to climb a hill, she insists that she had a relaxing time and recharged her batteries, so I'm glad it happened. I just feel like I missed out on something, despite being there for it.
Oh, and my tiredness caught up with me again. Thankfully, Erin's new job has now moved to its new time of 7am-3pm, so she'll be going to be early from now on. I'll go to bed shortly thereafter if I possibly can, and I should actually be more awake. When I'm tired my diet goes to pot because I can't be arsed cooking and have no ability to say no to food - I ate ice-cream yesterday. Ice-cream!!! And, of course, eating sugary food affects my sleeping _and_ gives me cravings. So, for the third time in 2 months I'm sorting myself out again. I find this so easy when I've been sleeping ok, so that's going to be my primary focus for the next while I think...
And that's all I can think of to whine about for the moment. Don't worry, I'll be sure to keep you updated if I think of anything else.
