day 3

i feel pretty hammered, but i guess it is 11.30pm and i have actually been working pretty hard.

yesterday got off on the wrong foot because i had to jump off the toilet for my son, who then proceeded to sit and swing a fool around until he was late for school. i left work after an unexpected lunch (i'd eaten a bit beforehand) to go to the hospital for my MRI, there's nothing like being told "don't swallow" when you have to lie still on your back for twenty minutes during allergy season and you've forgotten to use your nose spray. i had one "incident", the rest was kind of okay.

home - dinner - bedtime routine - bedtime in the dark, due to load-shedding, but it was a good excuse to read more wind in the willows and get to bed relatively early.

today mr smear was quicker to get started, it might be because it was their first real school outing and he seemed excited. i admit i was feeling a bit nervous, but it went well so i'm glad. it was slightly cooler, i was still sweaty when i got to work but less so. another busy day, with a break around lunchtime to meet with the neurologist who explained that my neck's damaged enough to warrant a chat with a neurosurgeon. fantastic. at least i know to avoid all upper body exercise now. wonderful.

i was hungry, i picked up a fair amount of food and shovelled it down before returning to the office for another unexpected lunch. i suspect that's why my stomach was sore and a bit distended this evening. we put our new chairs together, which was a fun team-building experience, and i knocked out my first (extremely minor) change. i'm getting into the meatier parts of golang, i quite like it.

home - dinner - bedtime routine - bedtime, then a mix-and-match of the responsible and the irresponsible and now i think i need to go to bed.
