It’s not been one of my better times. Starting in August and continuing to the present, I have been dogged by a variety of conditions, which have all contributed to wearing me down. I’m hoping that there will be better times ahead. However, in August I seem to have thought that a week or two should do the trick, and that proved to be a hopelessly bad assessment of the situation.
Hopefully, I am now back and will be improving over the next few weeks. Having thought that in August and then again in September (just before I caught Covid) I am going to be slightly less vocal about my likely improvement. Even my ten days in isolation turned into twelve when Julia tested positive. Everything in my life seems to take longer and be less good than it once was. I suppose this is old age.
The good news is that I have definitely lost weight. The bad news is that none of my trousers fit and that although braces (suspenders) are a useful solution, they aren’t the full answer. I won’t go into all the details, but they aren’t quite as practical as a belt in some ways, and they carry a continuing risk of injury if over-stressed or under-secured. I’m thinking of wearing industrial safety glasses as a precaution against eye-injury.
I’m also thinking about going the classic route and sewing buttons to my trousers but that involves serious thought about the style of braces and whether to go for six or eight buttons. Six mean less sewing, but eight mean you can use better quality braces. Decisions . . .
I hope Julia is okay after Covid?
And hopefully you have turned a corner with your own health.
Yes, Julia is doing well thanks. I am OK apart from one thing, which I will cover in my next post!
Good to hear Julia is okay and that by and large you are okay.
🙂
Eight…go for the nice ones
Glad you are up and going again! GEEZ!!! I hope Julia gets over the ordeal with flying colors, too!
Thank you – we are both on the mend now. I went back to work on Saturday and Julia started today. It was nice to see people! 🙂
Good to see you back, and I am glad you are feeling better, Quercus! Give our best to Julia, too.
Go for the eight button solution. It is the only way. I hope that Julia is recovering too.
So glad you are back!!! And, yes, give our best to Julia.
