2022 DIARY WEEK FOUR - 24th JAN - 30th JAN
Getting paid this week should help us with a few things, lets keep on top of things at work too and also enjoy the regular gaming sessions on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. Not been the best of weekends, up and down, struggling to sleep too, so need to think of other things to do this week and make it better. Monday was my god-daughter's 18th which was nice, I did get a nice card, and money out to her and the end of the month is my Sister's birthday though I don't hear from them now. Terrible day really, poor, non stop losses, made a mess of plans for January, will probably get through the month but it's another long road again. Heard from Annie which was nice, been out and used gift card up getting some supplies. Hayden dropped some web cam stuff around too, will try that out and see if it helps. Tuesday continued with the disastrous start to the current week losing more and more but will hopefully be able to survive, went out and got rent monies, some supplies and cards for upcoming birthdays. Gaming session in the evening and also look at football match as AFC Wimbledon host Ipswich Town but sadly they lose 0-2 and remain in the bottom five. Slept a little better into Wednesday morning, have decided that I will not be heading into London this week, need to clear my mind and focus. Quiet day really, received purchased train and runs so that was nice, looks like I am a bit behind this month so will need to rectify this next week. Messages from people which was nice, replied to Phil, Sarah, Andrea and need to make better plans. Then let us see how Thursday looks and try to be nice to yourself for the weekend ahead. Had a lay in, which was welcome, popped out for lunch and few bits then do some work in the afternoon. Feel a little more relaxed, shall hopefully find today easier. Not the best of evenings, but we ought to be okay in the end, lets see how the rest of the weekend goes. Friday cracked on with some work the plan is to not be out till Wednesday next week, then it's three more till end Feb. Weekend we have no gaming session sadly but there is football and racing on to watch, with some more NFL play offs too. Keep well, stay alive.

2022 DIARY WEEK THREE - 17th JAN - 23rd JAN
Got this far in the month and will have the final week before getting paid in January, need to get a card out to Annie for her 18th end of the week, and see about contacting Margaret too after a call from Jo. Update the blogs for NFL on Monday after the first round of play off games, also have football against Portsmouth on Tuesday too, and need to finalise one on Dads for the model trains. Might go out today for few bits but if not that can happen tomorrow instead. Really bad end to the day, I struggled with eCPD failure, and a late one, didn't get much sleep. Tuesday morning, slightly better but still plenty to do and feeling the cold indoors, popped out late morning and got some lunch as well as a few supplies, coffee, milk and bread the usual. The afternoon was fine, got plenty done and ready for the gaming session in the evening, Richard has new headphones and it's giving us all a lot of pleasure. Dons drew 0-0 at home against Pompey so remain in the bottom third of the League One table. Watched the NFL show and then had a slightly better night sleep. Wednesday morning, another cold day will try and be better also need to plan going into office on Thursday have set a very early alarm. Didn't sleep very much at all so was up very early and headed out into the cold morning air for the 5:45 train, breakfast and try to keep busy today. Wasn't too bad, more bothered by my ill fitting shirt today, left at 3pm and home just after 4pm so that was good. Have a peaceful evening at home, and then plan for Friday and the weekend. Slept slightly better and up for a busy day, managed to get money out and posted birthday card away for my God-daughter's 18th. Got some wine and a few bits too for the weekend, feeling a little better but still annoyed myself losing money later on when I should have been in a better place. Weekend will follow the football with Wimbledon playing Burton, and more gaming sessions too.

2022 DIARY WEEK TWO - 10th JAN - 16th JAN
Second week into the new year, still very cold and wet here, busy Monday with plenty of work meetings, and also I have other blogs to update for this week. Starting with the NFL Playoffs that will begin on the weekend, then Kempton Park racing on Wednesday night and another home game for AFC Wimbledon against Morecambe. Popped out after one of the first dull meeting and picked up few bits for me and lunch, back and started on the blogs, then another meeting at 2pm. Struggled for sleep once again and started off Tuesday morning with a strong coffee, Mrs H out so bath, clothes for Wednesday ready and popped out to Tesco for a few supplies, more meetings this afternoon and then a gaming session in the evening with the guys. A good session in the evening, an excellent ambush to begin, then a bit of a slugfest where we might have perished, so some enjoyable times. Wednesday cold morning, things not working great, will need to ready bag for going to office in morning, then we will have a Kempton meeting in evening to update, bins to go out, and dinner. Hopefully Thursday will be a better day? Well we headed into office early, taking a walk at 5am, got breakfast though, will leave early pm and get home, probably early night? left at 3pm and took ages to get home, cannot say the evening was a success and tried to sleep. Friday was a struggle, ended up going into London to test some stuff in office as impossible to do so at home, left early and picked up milk and bread for weekend, will try and have a good evening then see about the rest of the weekend itself. Charge clippers and cut hair is on the list, shopping, and blogs to update. Hopefully I can catch a little sleep too. Well here's hoping anyway! Have enough supplies in, might go out early next week, also do the blogs for Football as AFC Wimbledon host Morecambe which ended in a goal less draw and keeps us in the bottom five while on Tuesday night we will host Portsmouth in another rearranged match.

2022 DIARY WEEK ONE - Happy New Year - 1st JAN - 9th JAN
It's the start of another year. Can it be any better for you, I guess it cannot really get any worse for us. Was up to see in the new year with the fireworks exploding all night, some serious action at midnight and also a wee chat with Steffi. Up early ready on Saturday and catch the early racing shows, podcasts, look at the weekend and what I need to do. Sent a list of items for the gaming sessions to Vince and hopefully I am on track with that. Soon to be back to work and will also need to prepare for that, keep busy. Sunday morning another lay in, didn't go out, will probably do so on Monday, but instead listen to podcasts, update some blogs, prepare for gaming session tonight which was fine after a slow start. Monday up to listen to shows and then go out later in morning for some supplies and lunch. Ironing to do as back to working tomorrow, do some ironing and level up my character for the gaming session. Need to be ready for the return to work on Tuesday which turned out reasonably well considering, kept busy and helped out. Gaming in evening was a long slog, we made it through and need to recharge the headset. Slept a bit into Wednesday morning, very cold only 1C showing and will need to get through today again and then sort out a deposit for tomorrow too. Updated Kempton blog tonight and had a nice start to the year there, second meeting next week, work was okay in the end, kept busy and see how things are rest of this week. Thursday morning, will be working at home again and need to call into Bank as well and sort out money. Feltham branch is closed due to Covid so made a trip over to Richmond which thankfully was open and sorted that out. Picked up some lunch and back home, more calls and meetings, trying to get things done this week. Quiet evening and head into Friday with couple more weeks to go, see what the weekend has in store for us. Paid the CC today too which leaves me with no cash but some funds on two CCs hopefully that will see me through. Weekend looks cold and wet, there is FA Cup football and my side AFC Wimbledon travel to Boreham Wood with an upset very possible. Not a lot elsewhere, some gaming sessions and trying to sort something for Hayden as a thankyou for his loan of some decent headphones.
