Monday: toolbox delivery, what was supposed to be a drop off and pickup in one event turned into a pickup, then a drop off in a separate trip. The box that was dropped off, was just as badly damaged as the one I was returning. They’d clearly sent a floor-stock demonstrator, rather than getting a fresh boxed, new item. To top it off, the guy who’d been handling things had to go home early for a family emergency, so he wasn’t there to take my call.
Had a productive phone call with Transport & Main Roads, who handle drivers licences, trying to get them to figure out a way for me to do a drivers licence photo without going in to a service centre.
Tuesday: Drove back to Noosa. All daytime driving, with my new glasses. It was a pretty nice easy run, the worst traffic was arriving back in Noosaville, at the end of Noosa-Eumundi road.
Wednesday: Woke up with a eye-crushing headache. Had a bit of a write off day. Really used my standing desk in seriousness for the first time though, and it’s properly nice. Went for a bike ride, and managed my full 12km route. Felt a bit wrecked by the end, but honestly, better than I’d thought I would be.
Thursday: Walked up to the shops to check the postbox, and pick up some Rocket at the supermarket. Walking feels… odd. Something to do with my neurology, I suspect. Wearing a mask, and my new round sunglasses, it was a bit…
It started to sprinkle with rain as I reached my street on the way home, I fiddled with trying to get an umbrella out of my bag and unfurled. A gentle drizzle came down as I walked up the driveway, to become a pounding torrent the moment I stepped under cover.
I wrote up a blog post about my experience (so far) with the toolbox.
Friday: Had a groceries delivery. Went for a bike ride, and did the absolute full course, including the bit I’d been avoiding because of a magpie. Arrived home to find the guy from Sydney Tools had emailed me back to express an apology for what happened with the toolbox.
Saturday: Had beers by the river with Cam. Played some Left 4 Dead with Hannah in the evening.
Sunday: Had a bad night’s sleep with feet hurting, and back hurting. Spent most of the day shuffling around with deep fatigue. Most of the day was spent trying to set up a photo shoot for a new ID photo for my driver’s licence. Added to that, printing the forms, filling in all the forms, etc.
