Plodding on through the mire

mtbcMy ribcage remains sore but maybe a little better, certainly not worse. I am now fairly used to it and it is easy to push out of my mind and work around it. Sneezing remains to be avoided. I appear to have awoken with another headache that is so far defying medication. I am also a little congested; perhaps that's connected. I still wonder what triggers the headaches.
It's another dreich morning and my workout went slowly and was not easy, just like Friday's. That's another variable that I am poor at predicting. Yesterday's workout was fine.
I had a few days off my diet last month, mostly due to circumstances having me not eat at home or avoid driving far while fasting, and I gained over a pound. One month's data isn't enough to cause me to change anything but it does perhaps underscore the need for consistency. I am coming to the point where it is a relief to be back on my diet because I know it works.
I haven't figured out anything promising about that failing test last week at work. I don't think that I am to blame but the problem still very much falls within my bailiwick and is a critical blocker. Last week I fixed a separate issue with the same subsystem that was a clear logic error on my part. Occasionally I think of something that might help with this current bug but so far nothing has stuck. It is reasonable for people to ask for an ETA for a fix but I am unable to hazard a guess. I do now have another optimistic bugfix to try later. A facet of human cognition that fascinates me is how ideas come to us.
I try to be cautious about allowing my behavior to be too great a slave to my moods. However, given all the above I don't feel dynamically enthusiastic today. I was going to trim my beard and suchlike but at this point I think I might just take a hot bath, apply more embrocation and cut myself some slack until I feel better.
