As time goes by

‘When the madness stops then you will be alone’ Savage Garden – Break me, shake me

I’ve given up using the car. It really doesn’t sound all that healthy. So for the next few days I shall be getting the train into work. Hopefully they will announce this new structure soon, so I can either go on garden leave until Christmas or just take the money and run now. I haven’t decided which I’ll do yet. So it’s back to the crowded, delayed and inevitably cancelled trains. Which is what I got this morning. I trekked off to Central, sat on a train for 20 minutes before it was cancelled, got a refund and came home again. Trains to Middlesbrough are rare at the best of times. The next one would have landed me in Middlesbrough for around 11ish & seeing as how I finish at 1:30, it really didn’t seem worth it.

But I did have a really nice weekend, just relaxing with Duncan. It’s weird to think that a year ago I was single and wondering if I would ever meet that one special person and now here I am. Even after eight months together we are still sickeningly soppy towards each other. It really is enough to make you sick! But neither of us care, which is the main thing I guess.

It’s weird, but it’s taken me until the age of 24 to have that in a relationship. With Gary it seemed to go from holiday romance to drudgery in a very short space of time. We went from being miles apart to having a stifling routine almost instanteously. It made me think that that all-consuming, ‘must have you now’ kind of passion was made up, that Cosmo was purely exaggerating. It’s nice to know that in actual fact they were true.

Until there is a next time…
