Monday, July 7, 2025

 It's taking me a while to get around to it but I'm putting my 'on this day' anniversaries for May- present day, which is up to 6 July (I'm writing on 7th July).


Quite a few things happening in May and June. Pride month I have told many different storeis about how Pride month is for 2025. I saw a couple of gigs. I might have even socialised a bit. I think a lot happened in short spaces of time that I wasn't prepared fully to deal with physically or recover from. Every day running on next is just barely catching my breath from the last day. Catching my breath. That's a nice metaphor, visual or something metaphor to describe exhaustion, so exhausted that I am struggling to deal with the current breath while recovering from the next. It's more than a metaphor, I run 2.5 hours a day. I have moved my baseline a bit. I stick to 2500 a week, which I do on the first day. KCal that is. I aim for 300 points a day. Which I mostly do. Some days like office days I don't achieve this. Other days I exceed it. One thing that helps as a heuristic is if I say 300, I mean hitting 300 heart points in the treadmills, so there's other activity like cycling home and home prep and chores which rally up additional heart poitns, that's a bonus. 


I couldn't make the baptism today. My best friend's son. He's named after Richard by his middle name. Our friend Richard visits Tony more. It's right that he's named after him. Not least because M didn't make it to visit. I have been having a fever since Thursday. I'm run down...again these bloody running metaphors. I was so overwhelmed on Friday that I decided I couldn't do gym on Saturday. I say 'decided'. I was too tired. I really couldn't get out of bed.
