A cut above the rest

Well I’m back home for the summer holidays at last. Those last two weeks of college weren’t easy… although the booze helped. I’ve decided to go back for the final two months of my course if only to finish off the peripheral subjects I’m doing. In the last week before I came back I had no music lessons and was thoroughly relieved.

I’ve drawn up a timetable of things to do while I’m off in order to keep me busy. It’s stuff I would have done anyway but this way it keeps me focused and will make sure I don’t spend more time than necessary on the internet. I’ve included writing sessions, exercise, personal admin time and housework. I’m curious to see if I’ll stick to it.

I went for my pre-op assessment yesterday to make sure I was fit and ready for my circumcision. Apparently the actual operation won’t be for another six to eight weeks so I’ve got plenty of time to get really unhealthy and catch stuff… d’oh!! It wasn’t nice going by myself and I never enjoy being prodded and poked for three hours. I always walk away from hospital check-ups feeling somewhat abused. The staff were very nice though and there was enough little tests and things to get on with that I didn’t really have the chance to get bored. I’m glad my girlfriend wasn’t there with me as she’d have been making jokes and teasing me about why I was there. She’s not great with satire and sometimes just comes across as being rude or nasty.

We’re in the midst of a heatwave and I’m not enjoying it at all. There’s barely any air movement at all. Apparently it’s supposed to rain today but I’ll believe it when I see it. I’m meant to go for a walk into town today but if it does start heaving with precipitation then I’ll have to think of something else.

I built the outside run for the pets yesterday evening and sat outside with them for a couple of hours. They seemed to enjoy it. It’s funny to note that indoors the rabbit is the more inquisitive one and braver whilst the guinea pig tends to follower her and/or hide in a corner whereas outside their roles are reversed and it’s the rabbit that seems a bit nervous and on edge. Bless. I’ll try and take them out again today if it’s cool enough.

While I’m off I’m going to try and stay away from bread as I think that’s what puts a lot of my weight on. Shame really as I love sandwiches and yummy buttery toast. They’re my kryptonite I guess. We shall see how long it lasts. I’m getting withdrawal symptoms already!! Eek!!

Peace out.
