• If I had friends…

    …I’d plan to spend this weekend playing  board games with them.

    Since I don’t seem to have friends with free time or an interest in board games, I’ll binge on netflix, play some ingress, and walk until my feet hurt. And maybe do some writing.

  • Day 2 of the 30 for 30.

    I woke up at 6 am, and couldn’t get back to sleep for about 2 hours. After I got back to sleep, I had a dream involving a really nice classic car, that I had helped offload into a driveway. Afterwards, I backed into it. Immediately. Then I woke up. It was around 11am. Gram was checking to see if I was still coming to visit her. I got a lift over there with my mother, chatted with Gram for a little bit, then we took the two dogs out for a 40 minute walk around the neighbourhood. Decent exercise, though I didn’t have my watch on me to check the pace I was keeping or the distance walked.

    Then more time with Gram and a nice meal, before a ride to work.

    Gram seems to be doing better. She’s got a walker with two sets of wheels now, and seems able to get around the house.

    Then a shift at work, with a nice salad packed by my mother. And then, my weekend.

  • First day of 30 minute extra exercise.

    35 minutes, 3.69kms.
    I could post the route, if it had value to anyone.

  • 30 for 30.

    My mother convinced me to get involved with a 30 for 30 challenge. Starting tomorrow, I’ll be doing an extra 30 minutes of exercise a day, every day. Today, I walked for about an hour, before I headed to work. Unfortunate shoe choice meant I’ve got a strange blister on my left foot today, to go along with the lack of healing I’ve had on the small toe on the right foot.

    In theory, it would be nice to have feet that don’t hurt, but I’m not sure how one manages to have that.

    In any case, tomorrow morning, I’ll be getting up an hour early, so I can have an hour walk before I head into the office. Thursday, I’ll probably walk over to my parent’s place to visit my grandmother before work.

    Looking at the map, it’s about 8-10 Km, depending on which route I take, which is about a 2 hour walk, give or take. Might be a bit much, if my foot is sore. Then again, I might feel up for it. If I plan my route right, I can always take the bus after I’ve had enough of a walk to satisfy the pledge and whatever extra I’m in the mood for.

    Also, I’ve apparently lost track of time, as it’s nearly 1 am, and last time I looked at the clock it was quarter to midnight.

  • Ultrasound.

    Well, that was fun. 30 minutes of poking with a rod and being told to take a deep breath and take out. Hit a coffee shop after, then headed down towards Hastings. Got in a bit of a walk, and now I’m sitting down for a bit of breakfast at the Red Wagon. Mental note, come back here.
    The doctor will get the ultrasound results in a few days then he’ll contact me.
    8 hour day after I get back to Burnaby. Short week though, what with the long weekend coming up.
    Really feeling the need to roll some d6s though.

  • disrupted

    Apparently I pressed the wrong button and failed to save about a page of writing that I’d just typed up.

    I wrote that I had a pretty quiet weekend. I helped with Noir’s setup and teardown, though I didn’t attend the event. I wasn’t really up for socializing in a loud place. I also skipped the socializing at Starlit citadel’s open house on Saturday, though I don’t have a good reason for that.

    Got home around midmorning, and mid-afternoon I got a text from someone asking me to help with some community drama. I also found out that my plans with Dimestore, which had been postponed, were officially cancelled.
    I was asked to take sides in an argument that I didn’t have the details of, so I tried to just squash the jerks and leave the rest of it for later. At some point, I’d like to talk to the people who have a clue, so I know what the logical next step is.
    Tomorrow, I’ve got to get up early for an ultrasound, checking on my liver.

  • brief update

    I need to write things more often. I’ve been slacking lately.
    There was some recent news regarding my liver. It scored a 16 on a test where anything above a 10 is a bad thing. But that’s been covered on my facebook, which this posts to, so most people who read this will already have read about that.

  • Raspberry Pi

    So, I’m definitely thinking about buying a Raspberry PI.
    They’re pretty cheap, pretty interesting to work on, and surprisingly powerful now.
    Also tiny. 85.60mm x 56mm x 21mm.
    I’ll need to build/find a case for it. I’m not sure what to do with it after that.

  • Domlander 2015

    Well, that was a fun night. I wrote a decent piece. It’s up over here, at Erotic Vancouver. And now I’m tired. Tomorrow, I’m going to wander Victoria for a bit. Maybe do some ingressing.

  • Live Blog.

    Well, I’m about to make another attempt to channel the spirit of Spider Jerusalem once again, and put together a live blog. A stream of my thoughts, coherent enough to be understood and interesting enough to be worth reading. If you’re curious what I’m up to tonight, it’ll be going up over on EroticVancouver.com.
