Barrybran III - New job, new life?

[Barrybran]

So much for a productive day. I thought I'd slept better than I had but I've been shattered all day. I'm not used to being on my feet for entire work shifts and I've just done the basics today. It's felt good having a day off from work rather than days off being the norm. It feels like I've earned a rest day. I would have liked to have gone to the gym but I really haven't felt like it today. I'll see how I feel after work tomorrow and hopefully I'll go then.

I had an interesting experience at the shops this afternoon. I was planning to buy my wife's favourite chocolates with her game and book for V-Day just because I know she likes those chocolates. Having given the game and book to her last night and reading some threads today I felt that between that and the flowers the chocolates might have been a bit much for the week. I went down to the shops to grab some things with the kids and going through the confectionary aisle to get bread (thanks supermarkets!) I picked up chocolates without thinking about it. No plan, no idea, it just wound up in my trolley and off I went and I didn't really notice until further down the aisle.

It might seem strange but I feel good about this. It's something I've done with her in mind for her and not for me. If she likes it, great. If not, well, I'm a chocoholic so I'll eat them! Usually I think and think and wind up procrastinating to the point of doing nothing. Today, instead, I was just going about my business shopping for my family and grabbed something for my wife without thought. I usually fare well when I do spur of the moment things so I feel good about myself for this, regardless of how she takes it when she finds them.
