Moonee Valley Coaches are selling route 503 and 506 to Dysons.

Owner is planning on doing something bus gunzel related on their last date of operations.

No stress, no responsibilities. Just sleep, eat, zoom and meow.

Oop-

Watching so many back pain videos

I am learning why some exercises and postures don't work and why memory foam is evil. It's Boobs and womanly hips.

TIL astronauts have fucked backs

I learned stretching releases endorphins, even stretching exercises that are bad for you!!

Now what would be the busiest road in Victoria, that is ran by a Local Government?

I'm thinking its Rosamond Road near Highpoint.

Second mix up with clients and time this week - currently waiting for a client who thought I was coming at two instead of 12:30, so I'm sitting waiting until she gets home - hopefully in about 20 minutes.
At least it's warm and sunny.

I porbably shouldn't be this drunk on a Thursday midday but here we are. 78 degrees gin, ehh, not that great, wouldn't get it again.

so last night I had to replace the washers in the shower. Finally gave up the ghost and would not stop pissing water.

Of course the tap head would not come off spindle A. I tried, hubs tried, then I cracked the shits and stopped negotiating. Bloody thing sheared off. So now off to bunnings we go because now we also need new spindles and tap heads.

new spindles yaay go to put the flange on and....the feckin' breech is too far into the wall for there to be enough spindle screw to screw the flange onto. Another bolt up to bunnings at 8:30 to get a spindle extender (out of stock you motherfuckers you said they were in stock) or at least maybe a hammer arrestor that could bump it up (none in the correct size) fuckit, lets get some spring loaded flanges so we can turn the feckin' water back on (and His Lordship can morning shower).

checked for leaks, small leak, taped and redone, checked for leaks, checked for leaks, checked for leaks checked for leaks all good no leaks, checked for leaks used taps obsessively, checked for leaks and now I have a new fixation of paranoia with water behind the wall mother fucker.

arghhghghhg

presses ear to wall and listens for phantom drips I heard all things in the heaven and in the earth. I heard many things in hell. How, then, am I mad? Hearken! and observe how healthily -- how calmly I can tell you the whole story!

Some sad news about Guide Pup.

A vet check up today reveals an overbite that isn’t correcting itself. He’s a basically healthy puppy and will make a wonderful dog for someone…but he can’t continue guide dog training. We have to give him back to them so he can be discharged.

I’m weirdly sad for him.

So Lent is coming up next week. Basically people from around the world particularly Catholics fast or semi fast for 40 days up to Good Friday. Some people can't do this so they give up something else. They may just ease up on indulgences.

Now I'm not religious but I do use Lent as a gateway to reassess my diet. Usually I give up sugar and this year I'll be doing the same. No desserts. No sugary drinks. My body loves it the older I get. It's a personal challenge.

So if you would like to join me in giving something up or perhaps include something like a 5km run every day then it starts next Wednesday 14th of February. A day after Shrove Tuesday (pancake Tuesday).

And remember if you fall off the wagon, it's OK, you jump back on the next day.

Edit: it's actually 47 days upto Easter Sunday but I only go upto Good Friday because I spend that day with family eating hot cross buns.

Did a personal best walk/run last night (just over 5km) and followed up with a 4km walk/run this morning. My knees are totally shot, but tomorrow is a rest day, though I may walk to work since it's around 2km.

Got remote desktop working on the old laptop. Once I can figure out how to get network drives to work between Linux and Windows I'll have a neat little torrent setup

After all the COVID lockdowns and injury when I finally did come back to exercise I just feel like a shadow of my former self and I've been trying to get back to where I was. It's frustrating.
