So incredibly tired.

It’s 5ish pm, and I slept for…uh…7 hours today. Which should be enough. But yesterday I walked in to A&E and there were 2 cardiac arrests which arrived almost simultaneously.

I, for the first time in my life, did CPR. It’s fucking knackering. The chap was long gone though…

….and the whole first chunk of the night was like that. I am so tired. My knees hurt. On the plus side I did manage to go swimming yesterday; did 12-14 lengths, I think. Still using the float; still not confident enough to go without.

I might try if I can do widths instead; I don’t fancy doing lengths… over the deep end of the pool… without a float. I’m dead chuffed though; twice in one week.

Heh.

Let’s describe today for you:

Well, I went to a automotive performance parts specialist to get a new air filter for my upgraded classic, nothing too exciting, just a Pipercross filter (we’re not extending to K&N at the moment, it’d probably be a bit excessive for an untuned A+ series engine anyway!); headed back and prepared myself a wrap for lunch – with some fresh chilled water on the side. I did some studying on my laptop, listened to some remixes by CCC on the hi-fi and then headed out, in the minor, to the swiming baths.

Actually, they’re just itching. Itch… itch… itch… itch… itch… itch… itch… itch… itch… itch… itch… itch… itch… itch… itch… itch… itch… itch… itch… itch… itch… itch… itch… itch… itch… itch… itch… itch… itch… itch… itch… itch… itch… itch… itch… itch… itch… itch… itch… itch… itch… itch… itch… itch… itch… itch… itch… (etc)

Grargh.

Anyway, ignoring my eyes (difficult) and not rubbing them (also difficult). I’ve got my shiny pipercross airfilter. Thus making my car the world’s most silly performance minor. A 1.3litre / Performane airfilter / LCB Manifold equiped minor done completely on the cheap – indeed, only done because:

- 1.3 engine -> second cheapest option (second only to random second hand 1.1 litre engine).
- 1.3 engine’s airfilter won’t fit -> mentioned to woman in shop who had old stock she wanted rid of for S.U. carb equipped cars….

Argh.

So fucking itchy….

calm… calm… mnyar.

They’re driving me insane.

Okay. I need to go work.

So, I awoke this morning with a really bad headache, knowing that I needed to get [at least one] vehicle sorted before tomorrow I set to on the minor to get it at least back to the state we were in before I approached the weekend.

It’s now back together; and I’ve taken 400mg ‘brufen and 1g of paracetamol. 2 hours later and my headache’s actually gone. This is a first for medicine. Normally we get reduced pain, but today it’s gone.

So I can actually get some uni work done… [prevaricating]
