"Is It Good or Bad?"

To feel this tired? I know I had 2 very good workout days in a row and as such it is probably ok for me to feel pretty sluggish today. On the other hand, I wonder whether it is because of poor diet, or poor sleep. Who knows? I just know that I have to accept it as it is and keep plugging along. The truth will all come out August 30th eh? As they say, the success is not in having finished it, but rather in having had the courage to start.

In my tiredness I had a couple of charming idiot moments today that you might enjoy. The first was when I was getting cleaned up in preperation for a meeting I was going to at the plant here in town. I had already shaved in the morning, and showered at the pool, and so I just needed to put some deodorant on. As I realized I had only antiperspirant, I decided I needed to add some nice smelly stuff as well. So I grabbed a bottle of gel aftershave and wiped some over my face and neck. I was careful not to use too much and yet I was surprised at how little it smelled, and also quickly noticed that the colour was odd. It took me only a second to realize that this was the previously empty aftershave bottle that I had used as a smaller travel container for the disgusting green fluoride gel crap I put on my teeth....yuuuchh!...idiot!

My face was still stinging when this stupidity was followed up by moment number 2 immediately upon arrival at the plant. While climbing out of the truck, I dropped my computer bag which for some reason I hadn't closed properly, and at least 50 pieces of confidential paper fell out and were quickly whisked away by the wind. Holy shit! You should have seen me, or saw me, or something! Was I panicking! Especially as I knew within these papers were several that were very private to a co-worker. Fortunately the wind was blowing towards a fence and as such I managed to re-capture each and every one....I think? ...idiot!

My only workout today was a 1500 metre swim in my wetsuit. I told myself that I would do my weights tonite as well, but that didn't happen. I'm gonna blame Peter for that because he was too sick to come and help me. Likely story eh?

I wish to dedicate day 166 to my friend Deb Robilliard, who seems to take all changes in stride, with a smile and a kind word. How I admire her.
