Wednesday
After what seemed like a decent night’s sleep (finally), I got up and headed to the gym. (Sissy, once again, was on the bed at 08:25 for her morning head/ear/back scratch.) After almost a month, I am able to bench my body weight. Slowly. And with a little difficulty towards the end of the sets. But, I’m doing it. The rest of the workout wasn’t bad, either. Not even the bike.

Song of the Day: I Have Not Been to Oxford Town, by David Bowie (from the “Outside” CD). A version of this song was used in the movie Starship Troopers (at the graduation dance).

And now…. final stages of work prep.

Peace.
