Shoulder ouch (8 reps)
It was upper body workout tonight. My shoulders ache.
For that matter, my arms ache too, more than normal. Perhaps I should have passed on the workout tonight given my oomphlessness but I'm trying to stick with the 5-day-a-week schedule it's suggesting.
I managed to make it into work this morning. Not only that, I actually got some useful work done, in that I re-structured next semester's HCI module, re-arranging the order of the lectures so that they fit more neatly with the highly structured lab work. It's also allowed me to highlight which lectures I could replace to make it more interesting, but I'm still unsure how much to change it given that this will be the last time that it's going to be taught here and I think it would be a bit unfair to make large changes now when the students won't have a chance to resit the module the following year if it all goes horribly wrong for them.
After a quick snooze and another spot of cleaning (the house Dyson is not very good; my cheap and cheerful little vacuum is better so I'm wondering what the owners have managed to do to the Dyson) I went up to the airport to collect E. She's the daughter of some friends near St. Andrews and is just finishing off her gap year before going up to Cambridge to read modern languages. The chance to visit Iceland was just too much to pass up so she's over here with me for a week. There will be a lot more driving going on.
In the meantime, though, I think it's time for bed.
