The Cleansing

Gone are the days of self destruction - in are the days of cleansing.

If life starts to get cluttered, messy and just a little bit troublesome; start again. Of course, the physical act of being born again is reserved only for those people of biblical and mythical proportions. So, we people of little faith and importance have a renaissance which is wholly ungodly and much less exciting.

But by god it's going to be good.

I'm taking the next week off work. "Sick Leave" is what my boss called it. What he doesn't know is that I've actually spent the last few weeks being sick, and next week's leave is, in fact, the surgery. It's the time when I'm going to get better. So, we shall call it "Health Leave".

In Health leave, a person needs to put together an adequate schedule. I have done this, in the form of an excel spreadsheet, and my week currently consists of lots of gym, eating healthily, bushwalks, doctors appointments, cooking, reading and museums. Unfortunately I have only $20 to last me til Thursday, so my activities will be FREE activities only. That's ok though - if the years of sickness have taught me anything, it's that happiness does not come from money.

And that's what my week is about - happiness.

I shall begin with a weekend of cleansing (the house and my brain), and then the activities and fun will start. By the end of the week my surgery will be over, and recovery will commence. By the time I go back to work on the 17th, I'll be a brand new, healthy person.
