Tough climbs

It’s been a hard week so far.  Really struggled to keep my mood up and focussed.  Even motivating myself to write this has been hard. My eye is on the road to recovery but it does look worse than Saturday.  I won’t post an image of it this time though.  Surely once is enough for you guys!  Meanwhile, the nightmares and disturbed sleep continues. In more positive news, I’ve managed to get a good setup of old and new consoles.  Currently the order goes NES (classic)->SNES->N64->Xbox ONE.  We still have a PS1, 2 and 3 also.  Though the PS3 is mostly used for Blu-ray duties downstairs these days.  Not sure if I’ve already posted about the retro-modern fusion but if so it’s worth posting about it again!  The N64 collection has increased slightly now as Mario Kart 64 and Mario 64 have finally arrived too so there will be many …

New roads to travel and old ones revisited

Enrolled in an NHS study last night so now I’m officially getting tracked!  Seriously though, the stuff they do sounds interesting and I am glad to participate.  One of the apps seems to be draining my battery a little faster than I would like though.  I’ll have to mention it at our next catch up.  Right now I am not feeling too bad.  I feel like I am on the lower end of the depression cycle right now.  Good news for me, not so much for the study I guess. The study is for two years I think (my memory needs some work) so no doubt there will be many ups and downs during that period.  Here’s to hoping I can understand this a bit more and take control of it more effectively.  I’d settle for that. In other news, I’ve been reliving my days playing GoldenEye on the N64.  …
