Rush Hour and Lola's Red Velvet Cake

Exhausted again. Work and a lack of proper sleep drained me. So today. Got the tube again. Why is it that some people just stand in the middle of the carriages without consideration for anyone else.

Yesterday it was sour-face puss today was some bloke fiddling with his phone. He even refused to sit down or make way for someone else to sit down. These people tend to get off at Bank, yeah so sue me for having a picture of Liverpool Street station. I'll try and get one of Bank sometime but that place can be a crush zone.

Lunch was okay. On the way from work to the tube some crazy woman screamed at a driver and thumped his car. Then she started screaming at other people. Quickly went to the tube before I drew her attention.

Stopped by Lola and they are already preparing for Halloween, whenever that it. Nah, I don’t know nor do I care. Decided to get a cup cake from Lola to treat myself. Let's face it obesity shouldn't get in the way of having a red velvet cupcake.

And yes, I writing this one sentence journal in two places. Not sure for how long.

Not going to the gym tonight, will try tomorrow morning. I guess cake defeats the point but it is what it is. Well that’s about it. Nothing really interesting though did see a couple carrying a bag together – like holding a handle each. It was rather odd because normally it was kids that did that or adult with a kid but normally men would carry such a bag on their own. Who knows.

Also did some editing for my book.

Daily Writing Journal: Mo Money Challenge - week 8 which means £8 in the tin!

£8 in coins So I'm on my second week on saving and still not sure. I'm not feeling the pinch per se, but it's hard thinking how am I going to maintain this. So I managed to get a few coins out and gather some change, but at some point I'll really need to organise this. I've put in four fifty pence pieces with come up to two pounds sterling and the rest in pound coins. Remember the money tin from last week. Well it all went inside that.... How am I feeling? Slightly bored but I still have a long way to go..... Saving money is boring, spending is more interesting.

My London Hood - The Tate Modern

Modern Gallery make you think of the world as it is today. I just wandered around the exhibitions in the Tate modern and seemed focused on oppression of humanity - focusing on the poverty, wars, sexuality, violence, conflict, the underdog and gritty. This was a picture that captured my imagination because it looked so modern. This is a painting by German artist Christian Schad called Agosta, the Pigeon-Chested Man, and Rasha, the Black Dove 1929 is a large portrait-orientated oil painting of two funfair performers. https://www.tate.org.uk/art/artworks/schad-agosta-the-pigeon-chested-man-and-rasha-the-black-dove-l02264 So in typically America-speak when I saw my people, I had to stop and take a picture, therefore homegirl, Rasha, the black dove is headlining my blog. In those days, I guess the only work she could get was as side-freak show but she is very beautiful, modernly so. It also made me think of what happened to all the black people or people of colour during Nazi Germ

Review of January 2018 - lost weight, socialised with others, completed my beta-read, doing my courses.

Hello everyone, Just checking in about my goals and life in general. It's all good. What went well. I took in packed lunches for at least four days a week. This was just hummus, sprouts, grated carrot sandwich. So very vegan. I also cooked dinner a few times a night rather than eating junk food or takeaway. So a lot healthier. I finally have a social life of sorts. In my last job - it was work, home and see family on weekends. I was so drained and tired so this new job has made such a difference, that I can go out and meet people. So I go out with some drinking mates once a week. It's a nice evening out of the house and away from social media or the internet. It's mostly small talk but its nice. I'm doing my photoshop course. That is coming along nicely, that picture is from one of my practice sessions. I'm doing a couple of writing courses which are intense. What hasn't gone well. I need to focus on having more routines, and breaking tasks
