Thursday June the 1st. I wake, I get up, I sing, I make breakfast. I then spend my morning installing the safe I bought from Amazon, which they delivered yesterday. As always there were hiccups along the way but eventually I get it fixed to the wall. I then spend time loading it with what I want in it. Its noon by the time I finish the task and get all the tools and impedimenta away. I get a drink and then spend a few minutes to get the days blog started. Along the way I note my blood result are in. These will form the baseline for the new toxic beast once I start on it next week. So here they are. The obvious issue is the galloping PSA, but then that’s what the new weapon is for.
I run off fresh record sheets and then answer some emails to do with the London house. I decide to email the Australian glass maker who I think might have made a peace of glass that was my sisters. I send photos and a brief question. A friend rings me to tell me how a meeting with Occupational Health has gone and how things stand at the moment. It is a difficult position to be in and it is draining. We chat for a while till my friend goes to get lunch and a rest. Its time to train but I feel crap and have a raging headache, however it is medicine and needs to be done. I take a couple of paracetamol and go and get changed. Once in the garage I strap into the rower and set myself up for an hors row on my cruise level. the start is slow, very slow and my body complains at the effort. I persevere and eventually I get going. For a while I do not think I will make my normal target in terms of either distance or calories burnt. Towards the end of the session I am able to pick up the rate and by the end I have managed to reach 12 kilometres, over 2000 strokes and 800+ calories burnt.
At the end of the session I am knackered and sit on the sofa recording the session. I watch the garden guy beavering away outside and ultimately wave to him as he leaves. Dinner follows and I continue to draft the blog still carrying my headache. My evening is going to be a slow one topped of by an early night. Tomorrow I drive down to see my youngets daughter and her partner. It might be the last time I get to see her before she produces our grandson in July. So tomorrow I have to prep the car, pack and then drive.
