It's not been the greatest few weeks. Further to my phone being stolen the other week, last Friday I managed to leave my bag containing my laptop and a debit card at the train station. My bank's fraud department let me know the next day that there had been some atypical use of the card, so I don't think I'm getting the laptop back from lost property...
In further bad news, financial constraints means that my contract is going to be ending much sooner than expected, so I'm out of a job from mid-September. Fortunately I found this out before I'd signed the tenancy on my new flat, so I'm only a few hundred quid for the admin rather than a few grand out of pocket on that process, but still, it's a shame - I like the job and the people, so would have enjoyed another few months here.
Between that and a couple of other private things I do seem to be feeling a bit down. It seems to have sapped at my motivation and willpower rather, so I've not been doing very well at things like exercising and maintaining a sensible sleep pattern and being productive at work and controlling my spending. Obviously there's a balance to be struck between giving myself slack when I'm having a slightly difficult time, and letting myself get into bad habits that will reinforce themselves and keep me down for longer than I would otherwise be. I think I'm on the right side of it so far, but if I'm still moping in another week or so then I should probably start being a bit stricter with myself and make sure I reset. Also if the universe could not throw me any more curve balls for a little while, that'd be nice...
