The weatherfolks have been predicting thunderstorms here this evening and I am excited. I’m done with the recent humid weather and looking forward to a few cooler days (especially now that it’s the sharp end of GNR training and I’m trying to get some longer runs in without having to tap out like I did yesterday).
Lots to do workwise this week as well so it’d be good not to be distracted by muggy weather.
We’re well into August and I’m usually a bit sick of summer by now, but this year I’m quite enjoying it, probably because the weather has been nice. It’s been a little too hot when out running but it’s really lovely to sit in the house with the windows open and the sunshine coming in.
Plans for the weekend are (a) running and (b) lounging around.
I took back a bit of the garage today – the bit that was full of empty cardboard boxes being kept in case I needed them. I don’t need them – I’m not moving house any time soon – and there’s no point in them taking up space, even when it’s a ‘good box’. There will always be more coming into the house as that is the way of things, and so there’ll always be one or two around if I do need them for postal packaging etc.
Recycling bin will be nice and full for the next couple of months!
We had a good wander today with Mum and Dad, visiting Torbridge Stone Circle, Druchtag Motte, St Ninian’s Cave and Isle of Whithorn. We even found a previously-unfound red phone box for my collection!
Lovely day for it and it looks like we might have good weather back at home as well. Heading back tomorrow.
A really good 24 hours. I found out late last night that I’d come third in the most recent game competition I entered, I finally made it to the social run group I’d been meaning to join this morning and now I’m back in Dumfries and Galloway for some more running adventures here. Looking forward to the next few days!
Another medical saga today, but it’s a bit depressing to go into and it worked out okay in the end. Time to think about more interesting things!
The initial stages of the new game are going well, though I’m taking it fairly slowly this week as I ease back into it. I’ve also got a couple of short games that I plan to play over the next few days, especially as we’ll be travelling again for a couple of days.
Zombie Eye V is officially here. I spent the day in the emergency eye department again. This is my fifth uveitis attack since April 2019.
Today’s consultant said, contrary to what I’ve been told previously, that I shouldn’t start treating a uveitis attack with eye drops until an eye doctor has out-and-out told me it’s definitely uveitis. This means a day in the eye department every time, unfortunately, but at the moment it only seems to be happening once or twice a year – and quite honestly I feel relieved, because it means I no longer need to worry about diagnosing myself (which is what previous consultants were suggesting).
This has taken up most of the day so I’ll be glad to get on with other things tomorrow.
Both Geth and I needed all the sleep this morning so we weren’t awake until after 10am and not out on our long runs until noon. As a result, it doesn’t feel like there’s been much ‘rest of the day’, but that’s fine as I’m quite keen to get back to sleep. Day off tomorrow and I’m hoping to be more awake for it.
