Started the day with a banging headache. Couldn’t shift it. Sitting in from of a screen made it worse. So went out and picked up a couple of junction boxes and finished off the upstairs wiring. Took Sasha out. Came back and managed to do a couple of hours before headache returned. Went to Combat. Which hurt my knees even more. Came back and did a couple more hours. Still trying to work out where to go on holiday. Looks like Orlando again, although I’m not overly keen, been there loads of times, fancy somewhere new, looking at Singapore, that looks nice.

So started the day off with more Aloe Vera, still losing weight. Took the carpet up on the landing and spent ages trying to get nails out of the floorboards. Gave up and got the angle grinder out. Took the heads off in no time and got the board up. Struck lucky on this one, found the mains cable to the socket and the top of the stud wall. Ran the cable the wall no problem. Even getting it across the ceiling was straightforward. Had salad, went for a two hour walk. Came back and spent ages pissing round with a crap junction box. Had to abandon it and just join up the old ring main, will need a bigger one. Anyway, going fairly well I guess. Oh the projector turned up.

Had a bath. Then had my first hot meal in a week. It was an Iceland Vindaloo with this fat free rice. It was actually very nice and set my face on fire.

Started off this morning with more bloody Aloe Vera. Then spent a couple of hours in bed doing tune remixes on Ableton. Finally got up ready to go out. Jamie then decided to make breakfast, so I turned on the synth and the light. Didn’t realise the light was pointing directly at the side of the arcade cabinet and managed to set fire to it slightly. No major damage, just a bit of laminate bubbling at the top. Annoying though. Went to Cribs and picked up some low fat noodles and rice. Then went to Iceland and managed to actually buy quite a lot for thirteen quid. Wonder what it all tastes like. Went out this afternoon to go to tool station, but needed to combine it with my two hours of exercise. Walked to top of Whiteladies, dying for a pee. So used the Victorian pisser at the road intersection, first time in 42 years, hopefully last as well. Came back. Did the day six video, did the accounts. Now going to have a bath and eat salad. Lots of sawing up of floors tomorrow.

So almost lost 8 pounds, okay, so lost 6. Which still isn’t too bad. I did promise myself that if I lost the ten pounds then I would buy the projector for the lounge. In an odd turn of events of me threatening to become a Carmelite Nun I managed to get it for free and it will be delivered Friday. Work wise, well I didn’t really do any as I wasn’t in the mood. So finished the presentation instead. We then took the dogs out as Jamie was off today. I went for another walk afterwards. Did countless remixes of Jamie’s Sonic theme tune. Had a bath, ate salad. Lots of little bits to do tomorrow including visiting a freezer centre.

The scales surprised me somewhat this morning, considering yesterday I started eating again. Lets hope they continue to go in that direction. I managed to seek out some strange rice that is only available in Morrison’s, I may try and pick some up tomorrow, it has bugger all calories in it, will go nice with a curry. So work was dull once again, spent ages trying to find a problem on PC, in the end debugged it on a console as it was quicker. Walked Sasha for an hour. Ate salad for lunch. Going for sort of chunky chicken next week for a change, as I no longer have bread. Went for an hours walk this evening. So that’s two hours exercise again today. Spent an hour or so working on a tune. Had a shower. Still have to debug one more thing before finishing. And then it’s salad again.

Didn’t have a great night again, got up at 6:20 and too Sasha to daycare. Went back to bed and finally got a few hours sleep. Jamie played with my giant sausage and I’m sure I’m shooting out pure Aloe Vera mixed with orange concentrate. Got up and stocked up on said Aloe Vera and orange concentrate. Work was very dull, in a bit of a limbo land at the moment, sort of between projects. I couldn’t really get the motivation to do anything to be honest. I may finish the bug I’m working on and then take some time off. Dillon wasn’t interested in the walking thing, so I walked myself for an hour. Then I had some real food, well salad. Picked up Sasha, piddled about a bit more then went off and did Pump. Came back and did a bit more work, then did the Day 3 video and uploaded that. So only lost just over three pounds, I could do that by taking a dump, something which I haven’t done in two days anyway. Had salad for dinner, followed by cake and stayed within my 600 calorie allowance. Also two large cups of tea, that’ll up the water intake. So it’s pretty much the same now for the next seven days, which I may extend to nine. The excitement of my life.

Didn’t have a very comfortable night, but I’ve had a lot worse. Had a bit of a headache for about 10 minutes, more dehydration than anything else I think. Then it was off with the bloody Aloe Vera and to work. I’ve mastered it now, you just mix it with concentrated orange squash and down it like a shot. It then just tastes a bit like ‘orange juice with bits in’. Had the fibre ‘shake’ and all the pills. Took Sasha out lunchtime and it hailed. So went out for an evening walk. Knocked up two hours in total exercise today. Feel fine. Haven’t had a poo though or even the urge to have one. I would have thought that with ‘detoxing’ it would be firing out like a water cannon, but nowt.

This evening I actually sat down for two hours with a notepad and coloured pens and did some proper ‘studying’ for about the first time in twenty odd years. So actually making some sort of effort on these exams now. I think that’s in then. Upload today’s video and have a shower. Sasha at day care tomorrow and it will actually be nice to eat food again. Oddly it’s exactly the same food I would eat normally during the week anyway. I reckon I have enough Aloe Vera to last until next Thursday, so I’ll run it until then, then get hammered Thursday night.

So started this morning with what can only be described as diseased seaman. Mixing Aloe with water alone was not a great idea. Took all the pills with it as well. The ‘snack’ was interesting, stuck it in a glass of water and it basically just solidified. So drunk almost half a litre of Aloe vera today. Mixed it with put orange squash concentrate in the end. The protein shake is just pure vomit though, that can go straight in the bin. If I need to take a protein shake I’ll just use the one I take after the gym. Exercise wise, well I was supposed to do half hour of gentle walking. So I walked the dog for an hour and then did and hour of Combat. So one more day tomorrow like today, but with less vomit.

So got up to leisurely start. Finished off the bathroom, that is cleared up all the masking tape and put the door furniture back on. The only other change I’ll probably do is change the white screw caps to black, but that can wait until the next visit to B&Q. So started measuring things and looking at cable routing. Think I have it all planned out. Ordered two 15M HDMI cables and some Cat-5. I’ve looked at lighting as well and all seems okay providing there are no bloody noggins in between the beams. Next week I plan to remove the floor on the upstairs landing. Route the HDMI and mains cables down the wall, that will probably be it for next week. Will be nice to get on. Need to do some serious research into projectors this week. Went Geocaching when the rain stopped and knocked up another four. Came back and worked on Jamie’s bloody tune again. Got a good audio isolation of it now, much work still to do. Bath, then cooking. That Clean 9 thing starts tomorrow.
