Wednesday

The scales informed me this morning that I was 73.6; a loss of 5.6 kilos in 64 days. The target of losing 6.1 in eighty days will be a breeze, however, the wife’s birthday is on the weekend which will result in feasting and drunken drunkenness, which may add a calorie or two and hence a gram or two. The workouts are getting intense, they are only short (40 minutes max) but hard. Anyway…

The shave was with the J A Hellberg. I’m actually starting to get used to this razor now, I was going to put it up for adoption, but it’s enamouring its self to me…

The cream was with Nomad which I rushed and made a mess of. Madame Scodioli’s Step Right Up anointed my face. ‘Anointing’ is a very apt word in this case, this ‘after shave’ (anointing balm of precious oils) is always a delight to administer, esp considering my terrible beard itch after removing the facial hair configuration two week’s ago for Movember. I haven't even made a dollar. I felt a little silly asking for money, it’d go along the lines of:

Me: “I’m doing that Movember thing and growing a Moustache…and also a soul patch and goatee thingy for mens’ cancer awareness; give me some money”
They: “But you had a moustache and soul patch and goatee thingy yesterday”
Me: “Yeah, right, I know, but I don’t NOW, I’m going to grow one”
They: “Oh, well, that’ll be really interesting, it’ll be, um, really fun to see what you look like” [looking uncomfortably sideways]
Me: "Yeah, won’t it, can you IMAGINE!!?” [jumping up and down and excitedly clapping hands together]
They: “Well, yeah, I can imagine, you, um, had one yesterday”
Me: “Yeah……it itches you know…..I’m doing this for YOU…” [walks away sadly]
