Well, it appears that I’ve been able to have time off over June with one caveat – I’ll need to wok the late night shift on Friday and Saturday (working from home) which isn’t so bad with the remaining 3 days I took using the three days in lieu that I have built up over the last couple of months. I’m looking forward to watching the keynote on 10 June (9 June US Time) – AI will probably play a big role but hopefully we’ll see other areas getting focused on as well.

With that being said, I bought a Snakehive leather case for my iPhone, I ordered it online because I don’t like the feel of the case I currently have since the case itself is only held on by strong magnets rather than it being glued/sewn to the leather case. I decided this time to get the vintage plum colour which will age nicely over time. The order I made from Dickies arrived today – unfortunately the online store for New Zealand has been closed so I think that if in the future I want to buy some I may need to go through the US Dickies store and then get them send to the YouShop remailer because all too often the markups by retailers in New Zealand are horribly excessive even if you take into account paying GST (not to mention the limited range of products).

Last night I had a night off from exercise although I did have dinner with mum at a local restaurant – I treated myself to some fish ‘n chips which was a nice big of indulgence. Tonight I went for an 8.4km walk – the air is a bit chilly but I was able to unwind after work and process the days events so that they won’t run around in my head all night as I try to get to sleep. When I got home I tidied up around the house and did some browsing on the internet – unfortunately some of the clothes I have had got yellow spots on them after not being worn for a while and I notice some moths have eaten away at the woollen cheese grater hats so there are some items of clothing I’ll be looking at replacing and re-evaluating whether some of the clothes I’ll end up wearing even after getting the weight off given that the style of clothing I like has changed (some of the clothes I haven’t worn in something like 15-20 years so it make look dated). That being said, it’s interesting how once I got my blood sugar under control I am not as hungry as I used to be – the sort of rapacious appetite has disappeared which will hopefully mean that the longer I stay on this journey the easier it will become as I’ll no longer have to consciously think but rather it becomes like muscle memory.
