Proper Gym-ing

So we are off to the only gym class that I am involved in every week in a bit, first of all we need to go to Aardvark and get my weeks groceries and if there is time head to my docs and get another script for 'rubbing on Neil's tits' cream

Big Cycling

So then s'afternoon we went to gym and I got on the bike, not timed this time, but travelling half as far again as I had managed in my 20min sessions. No speed up today, just keep cycling

A Bit Sad

And I am marginally sad, fed up with running out of charge on my iPad and having to take it to the living room to charge I bought an extra long lead so I can plug it in where it sits

Visitor

So we sat waiting for the visitor today, a rep from Carmarthenshire County Council who had to check out the rooms etc to see if I should be paid extra housing benefit because technically there is me and one other living here.

Delicious Dinner

And we had a delicious dinner tonight, as Alex had recommended I cook it for GGtGG and yes, he liked them

Reading

And today I am now, according to my Kindle, 56% of the way through my Terry Pratchett novel. I used to read all the time before my accident but I haven't really been able to since my accident. A few days ago I discovered sitting at the dining room table with my Kindle, oh yes, happy chappy

'Wimming

So GGtGG brought his trunx today so in a bit we are off.....

(SIGH)

So we did it. Just good lord about how much better my fitness is getting, but I am still a fat barsteward

I Can See Out

So as requested GGtGG brought his window cleaning device to work today and wow, what a difference it is making.

He is outside ATM cleaning and just wow, so much clearer

Warmth

As I reached the washing up bowl to wash my cereal bowl I was thinking 'Oh no, cold' but that was just at the weekend, my hot tap is hot once more

Bath

And after 3 days of boiling a kettle and pouring that into a sink, getting someone else to wash the medical cream off my back then apply more... today I had a warm bath again

Happiness...

Gym-ming

So then afterwards I went to gym at someone elses request. Ho hum, I just did 20 mins on the bike. With my speeding up for 30 secs every now and then we easily passed the 4km mark

He Fixed It

And the plumber chappy came out and fixed the heating. The washer in there had broken, so all is well.

I have taken my hat off...

Alex

And Alex came into work today and said "I had to go to the Docs yesterday and he said 'No swimming until the infection is better'"

Glass

So a few times tonight I have approached the sink with an empty glass in my hand, my right hand as the left makes my wheelchair go quicker, but tonight I have approached the sink, turned the tap on with my left hand, moved the glass there without changing hands, and just ran a smidge of water in it to mix my whiskey with.

My right hand didn't used to be strong enough to carry this out

Then...

Then "we" went into gym at much protest. GGtGG said "Gotta" and I protested loads saying we had missed gym time 'cos we were at the Opticians, but he sort of disagreed.

We compromised in the end, drove there, parked car, left it, walked into gym, walked up stairs then into gym room. Because I had walked all the way, inc stairs, he just got me on 4 machines, no bikeing, which I thought was right and correct and fair.

You see, he knows I am lazy, said so himself today so....

Optician

And we headed into Carmarthen to get my checkup at the optician today. He did loads of tests as expected and said at the end that even tho he wasn't having to change the lens that my eyesight has improved since last year. Which does give me some pleasure

Still Broken

So the heating is still broken. Landlords wife phoned us s'morning and said "Can't get anyone before 8.30 tomorrow morning" so still a bit chilly.

I am not gonna bath today as we are going swimming tomorrow so I will have a shower there even if it is taking longer to fix this than hoped for

Obsessive

And I am beginning to think I may be a smidge obsessive taking screen shots, many screen shots of the same game of Solitaire

Solly Thingy

And I won the second game that I played s'morning

Light

And for the second day in a row I have had breakfast without having to turn the dining room light on, it is starting to get lighter
