shake the disease

was quite sick the last couple of days and felt terrible. have not been eating much in that time, and strangely have not been getting hungry. didn't even bother with my usual friday lunch of chicken and rice from the turkish place up the road. non specific symptons but just aching all over, and made worse by the fact i went to the gym on wednesday night for the first time in over a week, and i was aching from that as it is. anyways, i feel 150% better today and i think i finally managed to shake the disease.

work has been ok this week. working on a project and just keeping my head down and getting on with things. no joy in getting a new contract. its all gone quiet again since that call i had at the beginning of the week. nothing else major. am meeting up with some friends in shoreditch next week who i haven't seen in a couple of months. still haven't told my work that i am not going to renew my contract, partly because i haven't decided 100% that is what i am going to do. i am at about 80%, but i will need to let them know in the next couple of weeks.

the perfect scenario is i tell them i am leaving, despite having nothing else to go to, and then i get a new contract some place one week before i leave, but they say they want me to start a couple of weeks later, and so i get a week or two off inbetween, and then i maybe fly to new york or la or stay home. that would be perfect.

today i have mostly been listening to depeche mode - shake the disease. martin gore doing the vocal on this. prefer dava gahan personally, but this is still very good indeed and is a great song.
