A few things have changed

luckycanuckIt's a long weekend in Canberra and I was initially planning to go up to Sydney but now I think I won't. There is no rugby on account of the long weekend and one of the functions I was going to be attending is now off my agenda, so I might decide to stay in The Berra. I'm not really in a travelly mood right now anyway and it feels like a long way to go.
Some things aroud Chez Canuck are improving. I was home first thing this morning to let someone in to fix our oven and our gas heater which will make things much warmer now that we are in winter. Helga and I were talking yesterday and because our home internet is ridiculously slow (probably on account of a filter that has been installed at the house) and unlikely to speed up we may just discontinue the service and all use wireless internet instead. My wireless internet has been very slow compared to everywhere else I've used it. The Optus guy I spoke to last night did an excellent job (it really was exceptional) and suggested that it could be a combination of us being further from the nearest tower and our roof being different from others. He helped me put together a temporary fix and said if I got an antenna they would credit the cost to my account. The wireless internet I now have can be used by others too, so maybe my wireless internet will become the house internet.
Helga split up with the guy she was seeing this week and we had a bit of a chat that night and have been around each other a lot more now that she is home more often. Alleluia is away a lot with her guy and Roxy tends to keep to herself so this week has been the Helga and Luckycanuck show at home. I was even prevailed upon for fashion advice. Yesterday she had a sick day and rented season 3 of True Blood and watched nine episodes. I told her that if I knew, I would have contrived some reason to come home and spent the day with her and Sookie and Bill and everyone. After she went to bed I wound up watching the first two episodes so I will have some catching up to do.
A GP (I can't really say my GP because I've been to this practice five times and I've seen five different doctors) has now given me a referral to a psychologist and I will be arranging an appointment. Apparently she can change the name on the referral if I don't get along with the first one, so we will see how it goes. I still find myself feeling like a failure in most aspects of my professional and personal life.
DBYW: 15 cleans, 15 shoulder press, row 400m - 5 rounds.
YW: Fast 50s. Kettlebell swings, bicep curls, leg press, rowing, clean and press, L pullups
If I don't travel this weekend there will be a lot of working out done.
