4th Jan: This was a good day
Last day of my holidays, I go back to school and work from tomorrow. I've had a very relaxing two weeks, the first spent lazing around at my mother's house, and the second lazing around at mine. I saw my family, good things happened. Since then I've been at the flat, taking it easy, eating well and studying.

Today though: I hit the gym and managed a full hour on the treadmill - I only covered just under 6 miles, but that was the plan. I'm doing long slow jogging at the moment, on slight hill profiles, gradually building up the speed. Got a long way to go yet, but it was a good workout.

Then came home, knocked my essay into shape while watching sport on TV - the good guys were winning - India v Australia (cricket), Panthers vs Cowboys (American Football), and, most importantly, Celtic vs Rangers (Scottish Football) (more importantly, New Zealand beat Pakistan at cricket, but that was yesterday). And I spent a long time on AIM, talking to a certain special lady (I can't believe I used that expression non-ironically ). I feel good about us. It's funny how I can have total confidence that things will work out, even though we're on other sides of the freaking planet. But I do. And she makes me feel better about the world I'm in.

I feel happy. And I hope you do, too.
