I’ve been afflicted with a probable flu bug. Have a feeling I got a slight chill when I took a long walk out on Saturday. Having this nasty sorethroat at the moment and the only thing I have available to combat the sore throat is a pack of butter menthol lozenges (no idea if they actually work) and some other medication for the flu.

My body was probably giving me subtle hints that I’ve not been feeling well over the last few days but I’ve been managing cat naps after work and still sleep as per my usual midnight schedule. Only problem is that where the body is weak, the mind is still able. I’ve been waking up in the middle of the night a lot these days but with little I can do to pass the time. Heh, the problem with sharing an apartment is that I can’t hide in another corner to do other stuff without waking the rest of the household, so all I can do is idle in bed and hope I fall asleep again but that usually means I’m in and out of sleep accompanied by strange dreams.

Work has slowed down a bit after the budget process and I’m not as mentally tired as I used to be while working at a hedge fund, so my brain is probably rusting a little. Been reading photography books and trying new things, but the shots that come out of the camera of late are either very boring or of no consequence.

So I guess everything is contributing to my frustration with life in general at the moment. Work is mundane, the hobbies seem lack luster. I don’t seem to feel like I’m doing anything useful or worthwhile at the moment. Just that when you aren’t feeling too well you start to neglect all the other daily chores and things start to fall apart.

At least Friday is here, will try to sort out my personal mess over the weekend.
