Not a good day

Went to the gym last night, and did more than usual on the bike. Over 30 minutes this time around. Now that I found out the reason I was having such a problem with it was due to foot straps being too tight I have improved my time on the bike each time I go to the gym.  Extra weight on the weight machines too.

But today, while pillaging (aka grocery shopping) it was all I could do to finish it. I am quite sure if I had 100% of the feeling in my left leg it would have been hurting like hell. My back was spasming in a way that was telling me my left leg wasn't working quite right, and the right side of my back, and right leg were were protesting in full voice at having to take up the slack.

Then was the fun of putting things away. *wince* Have taken pain meds, something I have been trying to not do.  I really don't like giving in, but sometimes you just have to.

I am a firm believer in the wisdom of Groucho Marx

Work out

Went to the gym tonight. Did pretty well right until some guy who didn't realise that being a bit stinky at the gym is ok so he came marinated in LYNX (rhymes with stinks). *gasp wheeze* All hail Ventylin. Two quick draws on the inhaler and my lungs unlocked.

Pushed up the mini leg press up to 120 kgs with 2 legs, 60kgs with one, and did ok. Pushed all the other weight machines up 10 kgs. One of them I had to roll it back to the 'regular' weight.

Tired, dinner cooking, early night, I think.

Herb garden

Table top model

Front pot: Sweet basil and Bush basil
Left Pot: Coriander and Thyme
Right pot: Marjoram and Tarragon.

After constant fighting of snails I decided to do a table top herb garden. The table is under the overhang for now, as the weather was a bit wild, and I didn't want the new seedlings to get pounded by hard rain. Will be arranging the pots in a triangle, and put another taller pot in the center of them.

Also, tending them will keep the back ache from gardening away. And can move the garden around as needed.

Kinda down

Life goes on and the pain of someone gone gets pushed to the wayside. But it's only temporary. For some reason Pop's death is hitting hard today. Probably has to do with photography, and all the things I wanted to discuss with him and show him.

I hate dreary days. Not just the rain, but flat grey skies, dreary.

Not surprised.
