Happy MondayGuys last week was hard. We gradually have more light in January but in London at least the mornings are darker for a while and sunrise is right about 8am at this point in the month. I have to be at the station at 8am (at the absolute outside) so I’m leaving the house about 7:40am and the street lamps are still on and it still sucks, it always sucks…

So after two weeks of waking up about 7:50am and getting out of bed at about 8:15am, this week of needing to be out of bed at 6-ish is not at all fun. I have felt behind and struggling with work, like most of the office working world, I spend most of the first half of the week trying to find my brain. The week ended well though, I had my year of end appraisal, which was much better than I expected (I wasn’t expecting it to be bad but there was a bunch of really lovely feedback) and I do enjoy what I’m doing, so for this month at least I just need to hang on to that and power through until it gets lighter.

Other things this week, Ma and I saw Little Women, I had a good weekend and I’m ready for the week.

So for January, things are pretty good…
