Been poorly, mum got COVID (as in she actually tested herself), but by the time she was kind of on the mend she’d given it to dad. And he gave it to me, so I start the month with in effect a streaming cold. Had an argument with the doctor about my medications. When I saw the heart specialist, he told me that I had two slight narrowing in the arteries of my heart, and not anything to be worried about. The doctor who I rang to see if I could get one of these appetite supressing drugs (Wegovy etc), told me I was being very foolish not taking the various drugs I was supposed to be taking for me poorly heart. Which the specialist told wasn’t actually that poorly… now I have to take these bloody pills. I hate taking pills.
Writing wise done some work on the first part of my Not Whateley Character Reboot Thing. Power Gem Collecting. And when I say work, I have actually written some, it’s sitting on my desktop and I think, I’ll try writing it a bit differently, the character I am trying to introduce has a very fixed idea about the way she wants to be written which is not at all how I want to write her, so I will see if I can get her to a point where I can get on with the story and finish the opening scenes.
Been a bit tender on my bike in the last few days due to this cold/COVID, but prior to that I have been doing some reasonably long rides. At the moment I am having issues with the gears (cassette) slipping, can’t see any reason for it to be doing so, the indexing is okay apart from this single gear/cog. I was going to take it to my bike repairing friend, but been ill and it escaped my brain, will need to message him and see if he can have a look this week. I think I’m going to need to get something to help keep the chain on the chair ring too, the chain falls off that far too frequently, but I am poor at the moment.
Speaking of which, actually got some hours at the cheese shop again, which was very nice. Though working with a temperature probably wasn’t the best idea, but I need the money, when I took the loan on my bike I was expecting to be working every month, this is the first I have got since Christmas. It’s difficult trading at the moment, and my boss has been very good to me, but I just wish I could do a few more hours.
I’m hoping to return to me recent regular posting schedule, but we’ll see how I get on.
