not today

i haven't blogged in a couple of weeks as my time has been taken up with other things.

after the inorganic collection a few weeks back, i had a lot of empty space, and cds and dvds stacked in boxes. i needed bookshelves. and fortunatly, the warehouse has kitset bookshelves at a reasonable price. and being a kiwi male, putting them together would be no problem. (and i was right about that)

unfortunately, the only day i really get to do them is sunday. and sunday is not a good day for me to anything. so i've been doing it piecemeal. two weeks ago, i went to buy them, but by the time i got them home, i was too tired to put them together.

last week, i spent five hours putting them together and then was too tired to fill them up.

yesterday i did fill them up, it took longer than i expected and it turns out that i need a few more.

last night, i came out of dialysis half a kilo under my target weight. today, its raining, everytime i stand up i get a headrush and a bit of dizziness. taking a shower wore me out. i think i've done enough for this week, so i'll be watching a terrible film (superhero movie) reading a book or two and getting an early night. at this rate its going to take another month or so before everything's squared away.

still, the stuff i've done so far looks good

  1. ah the flatpack assembly. We need them here because the stair way is so small we would never get the furnitue into our bedrooms without it. But still they irritate me. It feels like the manufacturers have only done half a job. I mean, I don't ask them to come done to wear I work and write my reports.
