I bought myself measuring tape today. And did some measuring. And as it turns out, I should be able to fit an exercise bike in my apartment. So I’ma go ahead and buy one. I’ll order it on Monday. They promise to deliver the following day. So by Tuesday I should be exercising all day long. In theory. We’ll see how it goes. And if I can stick to it. It’ll be nice to get in better shape. Just a little. To be able to walk to the shopping center around the corner without being out of breath. Oh yes.

Feeding the animals went just fine today. I have however had a nasty headache all day and been feeling very tired. So I think I’m going to turn in early tonight. Get a good night’s sleep hopefully. Just have to wait for my dad to turn up now. He’s feeling better and wanted to come by and drop off some papers. I bet he’ll bring some measuring tape as well. I forgot to tell him that I bought some myself. Oh well. No harm no fowl. Squawk.

Guess what I am shopping for? An exercise bike I am shopping for.

I found a nice and cheap one too. Now I just need to figure out if I have room enough for it in my apartment. I don’t have any measuring tape. I called my dad to ask him if he could bring their tape when he came over for his daily cuppa tea. But he has fallen ill, so he won’t be coming over. Maybe I have passed the bug to him. Anyway, I’ll buy some measuring tape tomorrow I guess and then I’ll see if the dimensions fit. And if they do then I’ll get myself an exercise bike.

I read some online advice about it and they said not to buy the cheapest ones. But I don’t want to spend a fortune on this, so for me it’s either cheap or nothing. I will go with cheap. I am almost a little excited about it. Some of you may remember years ago when I was in job training in the Reva center, how they had a little gym and I got quite into the whole fitness thing. The good thing about that gym was that practically no one used it. So I almost always had it all to myself. I can’t go and sign up with some gym today, because of all the people that would be there. And I’d probably be too lazy to go out there anyway. But with a bike in my apartment I think I could get back into the cycling swing of things. Get in a little better shape. And help out with the diabetes. So that’d be good. We’ll see how it goes. I don’t have a lot of space here, maybe there’s no room for it after all. But fingers crossed. I think I would get a lot more exercise done than now where I have to actually go outside in the dark, cold human-filled world.

Other than that there is nothing new to report. Tomorrow I’m on animal feeding duty. For the first time since getting diabetesized. And for the first time with the buck there. He’s so good-natured though, there won’t be any problems with him I’m sure.

And speaking of the animals, here are some pictures I had left over from the other day.

The buck. I’m sorry about that scruffy looking guy who snuck into the picture.

Magnethe always loves having her neck scratched.

A little size comparison. I think the buck is actually a little bigger than Magnethe. I don’t know how old he is, but his horns are pretty big too so he’s no kid, he’s no.

Damn paparazzis… “we’re just friends! Get that camera out of here!”

And Vanilje of course. Never forget Vanilje.

Hope y’alls had a nice Thanksgiving. I am thankful for you, dear reader.
