| Good afternoon. Well, I've had a bit of a think about my liver results, and after some research I think i know the answer. I thought it odd that the readings ramped up when I started on medication. I've taken the non-steroid medication before years ago, and I remember there was a reason why I couldn't continue to take it. After speaking to my mam she was sure it was because it fucks some peoples livers up. Further research on the net showed that you have to have constant blood tests on it because it can send (about 1%) some peoples livers scatty. So, I've made my own decision, I'm stopping taking it. I'll talk to my GP about it but I think it has been less obvious that it was affecting my liver to my consultant because I have a pre-existing liver condition. If it was someone normal the peak in the results would signal to come off it, but with me, having the existing liver condition means that when that segment peaks they think it must be the condition rather than the introduction of the tablets. Still, that bit is boring. Had a reasonably pleasant evening. Finished my book on zen. It was great, his style of writing was really amusing but also very clear on what he was saying with regards zen. He has a blog it seems so I shall have a read of that. He has a new book out next year too. Interesting the meditation technique for zen buddhism. Instead of the usual closing eyes, breathing, yadda yadda yadda, he uses zazen. This involves sitting in the normal meditation position in front of a blank wall. instead of the closing eyes breathing thing you just sit with your eyes open, breathing how you like, while staring at a wall. I've given it a couple of goes and it's quite effective. Think I might stick to this one. I'm not making this entry any more interesting am I? Walked in to work this morning, as start of exercising more after now stopping the steroids. Set off and it was all lovely and misty. Mist is ace. Took about 3/4 of an hour to get in at a good walking pace, so not too bad. May even walk back tonight (then regret it when I'm going up the hill and I want my tea). On my way I passed a stained mattress in a skip (I had to make a texture of a piss stained mattress once, still one of my faves), and rather oddly, a melon in the middle of the pavement. undamaged that I could see. Two annoying ads of the moment. First up, the argo 'christmas wish/dream' one. Try so hard to make it all so wonderful and magical when Argos stores are just boredom and proles. Next, the weird gillette ad, featuring father and son 'you taught him how to download music' etc then he gets his dad one of their razors. Shows annoying faced dad having a shave then his son wanders round in the background and pokes his head round the door grinning annoyingly. 'mind getting out the fucking bathroom eh?' It's just....odd. Popped in to town at dinnertime to get a cop out dads present of some Next vouchers, but you have to get them on fucking credit card things now. He fucking loves Next. Saw the cheery geekyish girl who covered on our buildings reception the other week. She smiled. Big crane in Bromley centre, reminds of the holy moly rules of modern life entry that says 'given the choice of half an hour with Beyonce or (some other attractive woman, can't remember) most men would prefer half an hour using a big crane'. I'd like a go on one of those fucking monster cranes. Passed a poor kid in a wheelchair who had half his face grotesquely inflated (is that elephantitis or summat?). reminded me of the bloke in Croydon (who I've probably mentioned) who had the massive inflated grotesque head. I used to pass him in the streets sometimes and you couldn't help but think 'fucking hell' no matter how many times you'd seen him. He didn't help by balancing a baseball cap on his fucking massive head like, kinda only highlights it even more. Not that you were going to miss it wandering towards you anyway like, I suppose. Poor fuckers, I feel guilty that I found them pretty repulsive to look at, but it wasn't a conscious decision to be repulsed. you didn't know where to look when this fella was walking towards you on a crowded tram platform in Croydon. I tried to just look straight ahead but you don't know if you are doing wrong by looking away or looking towards it and if you stare straight ahead like me the fella might have been thinking 'come on, you can't miss this head, don't pretend you haven't noticed, it's at least twice normal size'. I think it's the least bad of the three. looking at it is a no-no, looking away is I suppose better but you may as well shout 'you repulse me' to the poor fella so I think looking ahead is the best option. gave all my change to some women collecting for a local animal sanctuary, I picked up a leaflet, may pop in if they allow it if it isn't too far away. Wish I could have a sanctuary for animals. Why do all pret sandwiches taste roughly the same? | ||
