I really hate new years day, mainly because its got to be one of the most built up days of the year, but also i’ve got the pleasure of it being my birthday.
Its not a date that i have particularly liked…ever really. My friends were always too busy/far away to actually do anything, or I was busy with work. It hasn’t been since the last few years that i’ve actually started making more of an effort to use the festive period to create more experiences, or memories. This time last year, i had just ended a relationship and did a 3 week trip to SE Asia, where i absolutely fell in love with Vietnam as a country - especially the food!!
But since Christmas and New Years, i’ve had one of the worst bouts of flu i can remember, where i have now developed conjunctivitis alongside my poor suffering mother, who has been staying home during this period to look after the grandkids with my short tempered sister.
TOday however, i cleaned myself ui[ and hit the gym to use the cross-trainer for 30 mins just to get a sweat on and try and beat this cold. I class my effort today as mediocre at best, but really just wanted to get some form of exercise recorded as ive decided to take part in Red January to raise money for Mind.
