Ok, the last couple weeks haven't been anything to write home about, so instead, I'll blog about it.
Shaving
I'm the kind of guy that can get away with shaving only twice a week; usually on Monday evening or Tuesday morning (my first work day) and then again on Thursday morning. The amount of hair that grows between Tuesday and Thursday is roughly the equivalent of a normal person's five-o-clock shadow. The problem is the longer time frame from Thursday to the next week's Tuesday. In that time frame, it has about five days of growth and by the time I'm ready to shave, it can be a little bit painful with the whole tugging thing. (yeah-yeah, I know I'm a wimp.) So a couple weeks ago I started an experiment where I would shave every day while showering. It did eliminate the pain as there was virtually nothing to shave away, but I found that I never felt as clean shaven as with the biweekly shavings. I'm pretty sure that it is nothing but perception, but I didn't like the feeling of a bad shave, so once again I'm back at the biweekly shavings.
Pedometer
Not last Christmas, but the previous one, my In laws got me a Omron pedometer that I absolutely loved. You could plug it into the computer and download your steps, and the software would show you all kinds of stats...I loved this thing. Loved? You mean love right? Nope, I meant loved. Last week I accidentally left the pedometer in my pockets while doing a load of laundry, and didn't notice it until I emptied the washing machine. I tried drying it out in rice for quite a few days, but alas, it is gone to pedometer heaven.
Sunglasses
Before leaving Canada, while still working for Canadian Blood Services, I managed to squeeze in one last eye glass prescription under CBS benefit's package. As this was the last time I would be able to take advantage of the health benefit program, I decided to get a regular pair of glasses as well as a pair of prescription sunglasses. This was the first time I've ever had a pair of prescription sunglasses, and absolutely loved them! Loved? You mean love right? Nope, I meant loved. Yesterday, after coming in from a walk with the pups, I noticed this weird spiderweb-like thing on the lenses of my sunglasses. As I tried cleaning them off, I noticed that the spiderweb-like thing was the result of the UV coating disintegrating. It was really strange; I had worn them the previous day without any issue, and then one day later, they were destroyed. I'm going to look into seeing if they can be re-coated, but I'm not holding my breath.
