karlhtA short but intense week for me at work -- interviews with a handful of candidates in the Mountain View office both Tuesday and Wednesday, followed by a quiet day on Thursday and then taking Friday off, to make a four-day week and a four-day weekend, counting the Labo(u)r Day holiday tomorrow.
Staying in the 9k range for daily step count -- might try to push it back to 10k/day next week, now that the cough has passed (again.) Total for the week was 68.6k steps, for 53.53km. After averaging a bunch of weeks, it appears that my normal walking pace is 105-110 steps of 65-70cm stride per minute, or 72 m/min ~ 4.3 km/h. As always, the fog has been lovely, the weather near home very co-operative for walking.
Blood sugar was mostly pretty good -- I'm getting in a habit of pushing the pre-dinner walk a little hard, to try to get the evening reading below 100. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Next week I go back into the lab to get blood work and my first A1c since the day after I got out of the hospital. Wish me good numbers. Also wish me patience with my old PCP, who has recently started calling me again.
Actually got in a little beach time this week, having dinner with a friend and seeing one of those gorgeous Pacifica sunsets. I'd been staying close to home with the cough, and it feels good to step outside of that a little.
I've spent most of the long weekend so far wallowing in pop music bombast -- My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, Panic! at the Disco. I suppose we'll see if that's a good sign or not -- I blame my favourite bunny-cuddling gothygirl.
Onward, into September, ready or not.
