Work, rest, a cup of tea and a KISS!

It’s raining its pouring the old man is snoring, he went to bed and bumped his head and didn’t get until the morning.  Lucky beggar, I wish I could not get up until the morning.  I am still struggling to sleep at the moment and woke up exhausted this morning and the idea of going to work did not sit easy as I sat on the edge of the bed.  I got ready had a cup of tea and skipped breakfast and did not enjoy the foggy drive to work.  It was not foggy out but in my head that meant it went wherever I did and was not patchy like the real thing.

As I walked in the store part of me came to life and I started to feel a lot better, more awake and that continued when I started shopping.  I am trying to keep my thoughts and myself to myself at the moment, bar here of course, so I tucked myself away on a freezer shop again today.  Headphones on made my way up and down the isles in and out of the freezer cabinets tiredness still with me but sitting in a corner rather than on my shoulders.  The highlights of my shopping experience today, well first there was the order that filled my trolley with nothing but ice and ice cream.  No I am not kidding six totes full of lollies of all sort of description, shape and flavour, I hope it was not for a fair or party today as it has been raining all afternoon!  The second and more important of the two was being brought a cup of tea by a lovely lady with orange hair.  Now how often does that happen, I know a cup of tea, and you thought the orange hair was unusual?

I just had a thought, from the back and when wearing a high viz jacket we have our own Tango lady, how cool is that?  Now hoping that she misses today post lol.

Now you know I love my job, shopping that is, I can work and think at the same time about other things.  It was whilst shopping today I realised that I could unclutter this busy head of mine I have done it before.  All I have to do is empty my personal box out and start to put back everything until it gets foggy again then take that item out.  Hey it is a good thing I am not a cricketer otherwise emptying the box could be painful!  Then take a look what’s left and start to deal with them one by one or KISS (keep it simple stupid).

Who loves a KISS, we all do, one of the most amazing feelings being kissed whether it is a peck on the cheek, a tender and gentle kiss on the lips or a full on smooch and not forgetting the only one suitable whilst making love when almost anything goes.  Well so I am told anyway!

So the first thing is going to be working harder than ever and as many hours as I can safely do.  Over the next few weeks that is going to mean as much shopping as I can, driving and hopefully some overtime working the night shift.  Whilst doing all that looking at job options in both Sainsbury’s and out and about.  I have not been driving yet this week and that has been disappointing but once I uncluttered things, focused and sleeping well enough I am raring to go.  So tomorrow is going to be full on act mode at work, the gloves will be off and the shopping trolley tearing up the aisles then maybe some driving, we will see.

I spent this afternoon not only writing the post but also putting the finishing touches to a photography courses I have been developing.  There are three levels, getting started, beginners, and intermediates.  I will post details once I have completed the course details but getting started is someone who does not have a camera or wants to getting into photography as a hobby, beginners are peeps who have a camera and want to explore its potential and intermediates, peeps who have invested in camera gear, have been taking photographs but want to take the next step.  I am thinking about the charge to levy and am stuck between an hourly rate and a minimum of a four hour block.  I have worked up the page for the website and an advert for the local paper.  Why all the trouble, well I thought I could challenge some of my passion for photography into helping me solve some of the problems I face.  I have also been working on a redesign of my website, www.slawrencephotograpy.com, but it is not ready for release just yet.  One or two challenges to work out but it is not far off.

So you wonder what I do when sleep is eluding me, well it is playing ideas and reading.  The reading has the say at the moment.


Now in the last post I mentioned that I like signs, especially parking related signs, so here are a few of the sign photographs I have taken over the last few years.  I like signs they have a purpose and if written correctly a meaning too!












Until the next time take care.
