Day Six: Codeine Is Not For Tasting

Blergh, I got two tabs of codeine stuck on my tongue after I foolishly tried to swallow them the way the masses do, (place in mouth, drink water, let pills get caught in flow) rather than my usual way (open mouth, throw pills down throat, swallow) Firstly they taste disgusting and secondly they have done nothing for my pain today. So, I'm kinda grumpy. And as I write this there is a cold breeze coming from somewhere, but I can't find identify which air-vent //eye twitch//

Fitness: I didn't go to the gym at lunch but I wandered around town. This doesn't really count as exercise but I was hurting a lot and am struggling to find a pair of bike shorts I like, at least I wasn't sitting at my desk collecting dust.

Aikido: Double rainbow! I mean, double training. Was actually a reasonably heartbreaking two and a half hours, it was one of those nights where just nothing seemed to work. Lucy and I were butchering morotedori kokyuho (a technique we have both previously been proficient at) but couldn't stop over thinking it and failing at it. I'm at least convinced that on a 'good' day it's adequate for passing our next test, and there are other techniques I need to get a better grip on...

Derby: No skating. Friends posted on FB on how they were going skating at Glenfield. Tried to be happy for them. Instead just thought jealous thoughts. Didn't help my mood. Thursday is so far away!

Diet: Took a hard line with myself and ate some breakfast, (weetbix w/ banana, standard) snacks consisting of tea, cashews, and literally one snax (I needed a cracker quick to cleanse my palate after the horrible codeine incident) another monster health sandwich for lunch and a stick of licorice. Licorice isn't healthy, I'm vaguely aware of that, but I also selfishly don't want to give it away even though I'm not really enjoying it. I'll see about giving it away tomorrow. Hopefully to someone who will be confused by it. Ah, and Burger Wisconsin for dinner, Chicken, Camembert and Cranberry... having gone over the "clean diet" rules more I'm just going to abandon all pre-tense this is TBT any longer because I won't keep to the diet, it's obviously just my version of self improvement. I don't respond well to food rules (does anyone?), I have too much psychological damage to pretend otherwise.

Sleep: Little late to bed last night but had some spare sleep coin in my back pocket. Had a lot of packing to do tonight as well as it's the last night of Castor Bay - so that kinda counts like exercise? I should have been able to finish packing on time (11pm) but the wife could tell I was agitated from my FB posts and so I got a hug and some talk time. I did manage a 20 minute power kip earlier in the back of my MPV - holy crap, it's amazingly comfy in the back of that thing. So snuggly, and I don't even have a mattress in there!

And now it's time to hold on tight, as I return home and back on my lonesome, can I continue the good works...?
