(This is entry 33 of #100DaysToOffload, and my weeknotes for the week 2024-11-04 to 2024-11-10)

It's been a decent week all in all.

Malaise

I've had a bit of a realisation this week. In a way, it hasn't been a good week - I had a bit of stress I believe, which affected my sleep a bit and meant I had a feeling sort of a mix of tiredness behind the eyes and disassociation a bit. Still, I've been thinking about it, and I know what the problem is. It just requires a bit of a change of focus. Short-term stress like that is good, I suppose.

I've decided (not that the stress is strictly work related) to spend a few evenings catching up on work tasks. I've a bit of a backlog, which has happened because I haven't had the time to do them during the work day. I'll get them sorted out by a few week's time.

Singles bar

I went to the singles bar on Saturday. It was in Soho, at a bar called Zebrano. It turned out to be a 30-50s event, so everybody there was a bit above my age bracket. I met a few girls, one was thirty and another 28 (some of the youngest ones there, after me, probably). We chatted for a bit, and then went to a club (after going about to try to find flip flops for one of them, instead of heels) called Rumba. We stayed until half one, and then I went back to the City of London. It was too late though, and there weren't any trains, so I went to Simmons for a bit, was too tired to stay for more than 40 minutes, and then just walked about to keep warm until the first train at half six.

I did try some bagels from the shop on Brick Lane whilst I was waiting which were quite nice.

The singles bar was decent fun, but I don't think it's as good a format. I will see how the speed dating goes next week, but I think that will be better in terms of meeting people. At this singles bar event, people found someone to talk to and it is difficult to go and talk to new people, without interrupting others' conversation.

Plans

My grandma booked in Madama Butterfly for May next year. I want to get a few more things added in as well. Keep myself busy. Idle hands do the Devil's work.

Next week

I've got the speed dating next week, but then I've got a similar structure for next week to this week.
