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…

Finished work on Sunday for the week, took the bus down to the store to pick up some groceries and then walked part of the way back (my arms got too tired to keep on carrying the grocery bags), I had a late dinner and then I went for a 10.5km walk which enabled me…

First day of my weekend – walked down to my local Dutch bakery and cafe to order an eggs bene and a bowl of caffè mocha for a late brunch (well, technically it was around 3pm between lunch and dinner) – enjoying the good weather after having a week of wild rain and wind. I…

The expected release is around the middle of…

As mentioned previously I went for a blood test on Monday and the last time I had one 3 months ago it took 3 days to come back so either one of two things – it is taking longer because they’re busy or the answer I’d much rather prefer which is ‘no news is good…

Well, I went to the Awanui Labs blood testing for my A1C test however I also found that there was an urine test (I saw it on the document my doctor gave me, thought it may have been a mistake) so I guess the reason was to also check my kidney function as well. Normally…

Busy week and almost Monday, the big day for my A1C blood test, hopefully I’ll get an answer back quickly to see whether all the hard work has paid off. On Thursday I went for a 14.5km walk then on Friday a 8km walk then on Saturday another 8km walk. The walk on Friday was…
