Tonight, at midnight, I finally stop being on call and my boss starts being on call. It's been just over two weeks and I've not had one beer in all that time. That might not sound like much, but I've had a few days where I really would have enjoyed a beer. I plan to have a couple on Friday or Saturday night depending on the weather and I think that I'll light a fire too. Being on call does kind of put a dampener on everything as I have to think about what I would do in each situation if I did get called in. As we only have one car and the wife takes that to work, if she was working and I was home looking after the kids, I'd have to dump the kids at the neighbours and jump on my bike, or, if they weren't able to look after the kids I'd have to walk the kids down into town and pick the car up. It kind of plays on your mind a little so I'm glad that I was getting paid for it and also that I've got a week or two before I'm back on call.
Last weekend I didn't end up testing the microphone, I think it was all part of the lack of motivation that I was feeling, I just couldn't be bothered even getting the kit out and trying. The weather wasn't the nicest for testing out the camera for night shots and I was glad as I then didn't feel like as much of a slacker for not giving it a go.
Hopefully this weekend I'll feel more motivated and be able to head out on the bike at some stage, most likely Sunday afternoon, so fingers crossed that the weather is ok.
I think that getting out walking is starting to make me feel a little more motivated and as long as I can keep myself going I should be right. A week today is when I thought that I might be able to have the day off to head out motocamping and I just don't feel ready for that just yet. I still may give it a go if the weather looks nice but I don't want to rush in and do it if my heart isn't in it.
