Ouch!

Just had to get 4 new tyres for the car. That was £200+ I wasn't wanting to spend this month....

Thursday - 6 out of 10

No change on the headace other than a bit of sinus ache to go with it in the morning. Clarityn helps with that, though.
Filtered my waste, disposed of some more empty bottles, and generally got on with cleaning out the fumehood. Got home to find Chrissy making chicken & leek pie. It was very good - I couldn't taste the leeks at all

Wednesday - 5 out of 10

Still got a headache, but back at work Paracetamol makes it fade out for a while.
Oh look, my waste bottle is precipitating ferric hydroxide again! Now I'll have to recondition and filter it again!

Tuesday - 3 out of 10

Off sick - horrible headache. It's been there a week now and keeps getting worse. Went to see the Doc. After being poked & prodded, was told that it was nothing major, use paracetamol and it should go away eventually. The he says he can confirm it's not an early sign of a stroke or brin tumor! Never occured to me to worry about either of those. I guess I just learned what a 1 out of 10 day would have been!

Monday - 7 out of 10

Didn't sleep well. Kids messed around about getting dressed. Headache again. Thank god you can still buy paracetamol by the thousand tablets in the US.
Work was OK - much waste to filter, and many spreadsheets to check.
Dinner in Seascale was good - sausages, carrots & cheesy mash.
Club went OK. I was caught out when the player who normally leaves early said he was staying 'til 11, as I had planned on finishing for 10:30, his usual leaving time. Improvising worked out ok, and I know where I'm picking up from next week.

Got a good geek-thrill today, but I'll post about that later.

Sunday - 8 out of 10

Father's Day - I got a bit of a lie in, cards from the kids, then everyone gave me a very nice back-rub. Wonderful. The lingering headache slowed me down a bit, but a trip down to Seascale for a cuppa with Mum & Dad helped. They even volunteered to keep the kids until bedtime and feed them, so Chrissy and I had some nice quiet time together. I made fish pie (smoked haddock, salmon and something white) and we cuddled up on the sofa to watch the first part of The Colour of Magic. Lovely
