A Day in a Glasgow Flat

So I just thought of a fun idea! While searching through my archive of all the stuff I've written, I stumbled across a pure, wildly un-edited, grammatically wrong, snippet from my brain based on a typical day in my flat in Glasgow. Judging from the date stamp on the file, I wrote it around late November, 2015. As I don't think I've reflected much on my time in Scotland on this site, here is that snippet to give you a rough idea of what my life was like at that time.

Be warned, it rambles, is full of spelling errors and is basically just one huge chunk of writing that at times doesn't make a lot of sense. Be brave, welcome to my mind...

Wat?

Ok, so today I was more or less sitting around waiting for the letting agents to come and inspect my house before I had to go leave for work later that afternoon. The thing is though, these were the only two things that I had planned for the day, and what this means is that I end up with an absolute plethora of spare time to sit around and get lost in my own thoughts, causing a spiral of strange, melancholic boredom where time seems to pass ridiculously quick with nothing actually happening. What I have recently discovered though, after the housing inspection came and went in a mere couple of minutes and that I was now faced with hours of nothing until I was due for work, is that I somehow lack any form of measureable motivation due to a strange, scatterbrained imagination that can only really be described as ADD. My days largely consist of a multitude of random tasks and activities that all end up only really ever being partially completed, with my only achievement of the day usually being that I successfully watched and entire episode of Sons of Anarchy without pausing it fifteen million times. In a nutshell: Time to get up, breakfast, watch a TV show whilst eating breakfast, what’s happening on facebook? Oh shit I just missed what that character said, better re-wind, oh wait a minute, I got a message from Cody, hmm maybe I should go to Canada for a bit, how much are flights? I’ll Google them, oh crap, just missed what happened on tv, better rewind and pause while I research flights, wait, I should put my washing on first so that its done in time to hang out before work, I’ll boil the kettle for tea while I do that, hmmm, my cup still has a bit of cold coffee in it from breakfast, better wash it out, oh, the sink is full, I’ll just quickly do the dishes, I’ll put some music on in the background while I do that, great, now my computer is running slowly, I have too many windows open, I’ll close the tv show I’m watching ad finish it later, hmm, flights to Canada are more expensive than I thought, I’ll have to work out a budget later, might be good idea to deposit last weeks pay at the bank before work today too, oh shit, I forgot the kettle had boiled, I’ll re-boil it for good measure, ok now, dishes, that’s’ two plates and a saucepan done, great, my music still isn’t on, why is my computer so slow, better run a diagnostics, ok, now that’s going I can’t play music, might have a shower, but I like to listen to music in the shower, when was the last time I exercised? Better do some push ups and sit ups, but I like music for that too, wait! I have my iPod! Ok, that’s one set, time for a minute and a half’s break, I’ll re-boil the kettle for when I’m finished for a cup of tea that I’ll have in the shower whilst I listen to my music, I’m such a great multi tasker. Wait, what time is the housing inspection? Ok, I’ve still got time to watch my show after my shower, that’s two sets of pushups now, computer diagnostics done, everything is fine, what a waste of time that was, oh shit, better put my washing on, now that’s three sets, I’m nackered, glass of water, crap, better finish the dishes, crap, boil the kettle again, ok breathe, time for a shower, spotify on, cup of tea brewing, clothes in the washing machine, perfect. Out the shower now, wow I have a lot of spare time still, I can finally sit back and relax with my show, half hour goes by, wow, I’m so lazy, I haven’t even been outside today, it’s cold outside though so that’s fair enough, how productive am I though? Better do some work on my novel, ok, I’ll do that after my show is finished, oh look a facebook notification, someone liked my photo from yesterday, hey, that’s a funny status, better like that, I haven’t seen that person in a while, I wonder what they’re up to? How’s my family doing? When was the last time I skyped? I can’t now, it’s night over there. Ok, start my show again, I should probably look into my next move after Scotland, start budgeting. What where the prices for plane tickets to Canada again? Shit just missed what that character said, re-wind, oh now there’s a knock at the door. Shit! The housing inspection! Ok, they’ve come and gone now, I think I’ve got a couple hours before work. I don’t really want to go now, I’m all comfy and its cold out, but it is more money for travel, I’m hungry, I’ll put some toast on, ok show back on, Oh what a good ending, still have an hour before work, get the clothes out of the machine and hang on the clothes horse, gee it’s dark out already and it’s only about 4:30. Ok, I think everything is done what now? I might as well play some tanks on my phone, oh look, another facebook notification, I miss my friends, this isn’t really socialising, I should make more friends here, what am I talking about? I do have friends here, yeah, but they’re work friends, I’ll be in London soon to hang with old friends for a bit, can’t wait. Hmm, should be more productive still, why am I so lazy? I know, because I want to be writer I should write something, why don’t I just work on my novel, nah, I’m bored of that for the moment, kinda hit a wall, motivation will strike soon though. I know! I’ll write a stupid piece on what my daily routine is! That way I can work on my skills and maybe have something to get published one day. Gee, I’ve written a lot now, and its mostly drivel, no one will want to read this, I mean, look how far it has come from where it started. It’s not even in a decent format! So many commas! Oh well, I’ll just save it and reflect on It later. Should I post it on facebook? Without correcting anything, to make it seem raw and un-editied? I wonder, if I end up posting this, will anyone even get this far? Why did I even start writing it in the first p[lace? Wait, I’m forgetting something else… Fuck! I have twenty minutes until the bus for work leaves, better get changed, tie is too long, re-tie it, tie is still too long, re-tie it, ok done, have I got everything? Wallet, phone, keys, yep, ok, gloves on, go to lock door, can’t grip keys, gloves off, lock door, count change for bus, not enough, better stop to get change from the servo, gloves on, arrive at servo, gloves off, buy a pack of gum, shit I can’t believe I forgot to brush my teeth today, rush out of servo, and there goes my bus…
