In Flux

What a conundrum my life is at the moment. On the one hand I desperately feel the need for stimulation (get your minds out of the gutter!), and on the other all I feel like doing is relaxing and not having to think about anything.

As the title to this post suggests I'm caught in a period where there really isn't anything significant happening, and because of this I am bored. The boredom makes me over analyze everything which in turn raises my stress levels. The funny thing is that it's not like I'm not busy at the moment. The development of TopOf is frantic, however the stage we're at is a very frustrating one. We are just about to have it completed and let it loose on the world, but we keep hitting obstacles which is really starting to piss me off. We're struggling to maintain momentum, and it feels like the day before Christmas only to find that Christmas has been postponed for a week!

All in all I think it's safe to say that I'm not having fun at the moment, which is disappointing.

I think I need a distraction, maybe a girlfriend. However I was having this conversation with a mate the other night...
... You really don't want to have a girlfriend during summer in the UK. (Not a new girlfriend at least.) There is so much you can do during the summer and you really need some flexibility...oh... and girlfriends can cost a fortune, and there is no shortage of things to pay for. (Disclaimer: Please note how I used 'can' cost a fortune, thereby implying that it is not a rule that girlfriends 'do' carry an intrinsic increase in expenditure.)- Shoo! Narrow escape from female friends giving me a talking to!

In fact, while taking a short break while writing this post I have found the answer to my prayers.
