Welcome to Old Age...

Welcome to Old Age read a text I received from my brother wishing me a happy 30th birthday.  It's odd though.  I don't feel 30.  I don't feel 29.  To be honest I probably feel like I'm about 15 and still wondering what I'm going to be doing with my life.

One thing about turning 30 is that you have to reevaluate your life.  That's what I've started doing with a birthday resolution to get fit and healthy.  I've been 30 for 3 days now and the only thing I've done to get me towards that goal is only had one limited my fast food intake.  I've got to do more, I know that.  It's just getting started.  I've jotted down things I want to accomplish by the time I'm 30.  Some of the items are:

1.  Put more effort in to uni studies and finish all assignments with at least 3 days for proof-reading.

2.  Exercise every day for at least 30 minutes.

3.  Limit my intake of fast food and carbonated beverages.

So far I've only come up with 3 but I'm still working on them.  I know I've got to make changes to realign my life with what I want to do.  I've just got to work out how.

When it rains it pours!

Today it rained. Actually, It didn’t just rain. It poured. I woke up at about 5:30 this morning to hear it tapping against my window. Since then it hasn’t stopped coming down. I went down to the shops today and large puddles had formed over the road and a street near where I live had flooded. Water was over the road to about a foot in height. Since 6 am this morning 113mm of rain has fallen over the coast (the uni campus to be exact). That’s quite a bit for one day. The BOM also has a warning out which has been realized.
