Got the parts together to finish upgrading my housemate's Mazda 323's gauges. Snapped a couple of the needle drive rods yesterday, to it was nice to get it all sorted today.

Hee hee ... can never tire of that ... coming home after a night shift in the morning ... and my 2yo boy spots me and runs up to me for a hug with the biggest grin. Repeating DAD DAD DAD DAD the entire time.

Well, I got in touch with my feminine side. I went shopping for curtains for my new unit. Windows measured, travel to Spotlight, spoke with a lovely young lady who helped me out. Material chosen, cut, rods and ends (very important) etc.Carried them home, put them together and hung them. To those of you renovating whole houses etc this may not seem all that great but for me and my 10 thumbs - bloody fantastic.
Cheers Vincenzo

When I actually fell asleep this morning between the alarm going off and the snooze reminder 8 minutes later, I felt like I got something for free

I went to give blood today as part of my monthly venesection (drawing blood) as my iron levels were through the roof. After getting the diagnosis that if I didn't do something my health (56 years old) and potentially my life are at risk, I decided several weeks ago to get myself sorted, so I have started a different diet regime, lost several KG's so far, exercising and swimming every day and my iron levels have dropped dramatically. So, up to this point I feel 100% better than I did just a month ago and to top if off, I went for a new job today, an hour later they range me and offered me the job with about $20k more than they were advertising. So, all-in-all, I am a happy camper today.

Knocked off 2 high priority defects one of which has had the whole team stumped for 5 days and me being the least experienced of them all. The other I think pulled us back onto schedule from being a day down

So this is kinda cool and made me feel good today. This is a tracker on the Optifast site. Red line is my projected weight loss for the intensive phase of the Optifast program. Blue line is my actual weight loss to date, with weekly weigh ins. Helps put into perspective, for myself, that I'm ******** smashing it
This doesn't include the 6kgs I lost before starting Optifast. |
