Christmas, stuffed

I hope you've all had a decent Christmas Day. Mine was a little early, thanks to getting woken up in the wee hours by a smoke alarm. Does anyone know why smoke alarm batteries always start running down in at night?

So I've had the heavy two-course Christmas lunch and the beers and now I'm sitting on my arse looking at Notepad and having heavy thoughts about where to from here for my career. Actually I don't even know if it's worth trying; hell, I'm almost fifty. Is that too late for a career?

There are at least two things I want to do this coming year. I want to finish up my Body to Soul project, for a start. Seriously losing weight is another. I'm sure there are other things I could do. Some say I should find another job, but I'm getting a bit old for that sort of Sisyphus labour. (The job search, not the job itself.)

In order to do those, I really need to knuckle down on getting Ableton up and just persist for maybe half an hour a day. Going to the gym after work, even if I'm pissed off and craving junk food and just want to go home, at least every other day. Self discipline is something I still struggle with. Looks like that's the third thing: developing some self-discipline.

Here's hoping I succeed in that, at the very least. But that could be the food and drink weighing me down.
