Last week was slightly a blur, my wife is out of work and watching our kid during summer break, but my mother's coming later this week to do some of that. It's also kind of a blur because we started daily exercise again and it always kicks my arse to get back in the saddle with strength training. If I had a gym nickname it'd be "Newbie Gains" because I keep quitting, going sedentary, and starting again from scratch.

They've got me taking on more accountancy tasks at work, sounds like I might be headed in that direction instead of claims adjusting. Fine by me, better than trying to learn maritime claims adjusting while working remotely.

I've just finished my doing up my backroom which was the main blocker for me going to the gym because I had to sink every free hour I had into moving it forward.

Now that it's (basically) done, I suddenly have no excuse not to go the gym now. Other than the fact that I don't want to.

It's so unfair, isn't it? You get all your ducks in a row and they start quacking at you.
