The second month of the year

Well, February is now upon us.  How the days fly past even when you don't really have much to do.  I used to get really uptight about the fact am not doing much.  That am wasting my time.  Must do a hundred and one things a day before I'm satisfied ... In reality, that usually leaves me more stressed, over worked and a not very nice person.

So I've learnt to chill.  I don't do very much in a day these days. But I savour each task I do.  And I don't know if every goes through this but as one gets older one realises (or appreciates) how much effort goes into a particular task (simple as it may be) if one wanted to do it well. 

So, I put my heart in my dinner preparations.  Cake baking - my project for today is to bake a sponge cake complete with icing, jam centre and raspberries on top.  An inspiration from the cake I had at F & M on Graduation day.  Oh, that was sublime!  Light and rich at the same time.  The sort of cake that doesn't leave you overwhelmed in taste and gut. 

So I'm moseying down to the shops as soon as I finish this blog.

On more encouraging note, I've changed my job hunting strategies.  Instead, I've volunteered my services for free to the Institute of Psychiatry of K' college.  And boy did they scoop up my offers. I now have two sets of people keen on meeting me to engage my free services.  So, I expect I'd be occupied for at last Mondays or Tuesdays in a week until I land myself a proper paying job.
