Yeah, I've been quiet this week. As most people probably gathered, it's because I've been on deadline again. Not really a difficult one, since few people advertise towards Christmas, but we managed to fill a 32 page tabloid sized-paper, with about 250 adverts. It doesn't sound like much, but it works out an average of half an hour to set editorial on each page and some pages can have up to twenty adverts, all of which need typesetting. Out of the 250 ads, probably half come in the last week and all the editorial is set in the last week too. Gives some idea of why I'm under pressure on my deadlines. And this was a quiet month. I don't like it when we do 48 page papers.
because of dashing back and forth across to my (old) hometown to do my play rehearsals and performances, I've not found time to cool decent meals and have, frankly, been eating crap for the past couple of months. Not a huge amount of junk food, until recently, but just not been watching my diet. As you can imagine, that's meant my weight's gone up and I'm now hovering around thirteen and a half stone, a full 14lb heavier than I was 18 months ago. The stress of the play and deadline has gone me eating crap comfort foos the last couple of weeks and I need to sort out my (almost empty) fridge and buy some decent food in and diet in the run up to Christmas. Not happy with my weight at the moment and need to do something about it.
My flat is a total and unforgivable pigsty at the the moment - clothes all over the floor in my bedroom, comics, CDs and DVDs from where I was sorting stuff out, week old washing up in the lounge. Half done washing up in the kitchen. I'm ashamed to have anyone round because of how the place looks. I REALLY need to motivate myself to do a major spring clean over the weekend.
Got a friends wedding next weekend. My sleeping pattern is shot at the moment and I really, really need to catch up on sleep this week. Worried about a couple of friends over in the USofA.
But I'm doing okay. That sounded like a list of stress and woes, but it's minor stuff and I'm on an even keel.
Now to start blitzing my bedroom.
I feel like Withnail:
