It’s back to work I go…

Well, at least I start the training for a new job (with the same employer) tomorrow.
And that should be interesting.
I do a couple of days of training for a new job at a new site and, as a result, I will end up seeing a whole lot of my old co-workers tomorrow. And that will be cool, because I actually like many of my co-workers.

And tomorrow night the gym I go to is doing a headshaving fundraiser for the Canadian Cancer Society and the manager of the gym asked me if I would be one of the headshavers.
I said sure, though truth be told, most of those stupid gym monkeys would rather die than have me stand that close to them while holding a razor. Still, it’s for “the cause” so I said yes.
It’s going to be a busy day.

Going back to work will be interesting.
On one hand, I think it will feel really good to go be productive again.
And, on that other hand, I wonder how much stamina I am going to have,
Thankfully, I have really great bosses who are totally supporting the gradual return to work, and I will do 4 hours a day for a week, then 5 hours a day, and so on…
I think it’s gonna be just fine.

On other fronts, I have been reading lots of stuff about diet and supplements and preventing recurrence. Thanks to Cancer Baby for the info on that score.
It looks like this are gonna get a might mo’ fishy around my house.
No, seriously… apparently I should eat more fish. Cuz it does the Omega 3 thing in a way that is better than flax seed oil.
Let me just say, burps after ingesting salmon oil capsules are just plain vulgar.

And since I may have hit a new low, for me and for my blog(s), I will now go take a bath and wash my mouth out with organic castille soap.

More as it happens.

  1. While not as good in the Omega thingie, sea perch has a fair bit, is milder, and lighter and takes well to any sauce.

    And omega-enhanced eggs and bread are legit. Trick is to find free range omega enhanced ones.

  2. Good luck with work! When I went back I was a bit trepidacious. But it was fine — moreso than I thought it would be.

    That said, take it as slow and easy as you need to.

  3. I will be thinking of you. So happy to hear you have good bosses who are supportive and that you are going back gradually.

    Take are of yourself.

    I am sure you know this but fresh ground flax can be substituted instead of eggs for baking, it is one one tbsp ground flax mixed with three table spoons water for every egg. When I baked I used it all the time and there was no difference to taste or in the way it turned out.

  4. Check out the healthfood stores around the city for free-range organic eggs. I know several farmers out there have started getting their chickens to produce them (basically the chickens eat organic flax seed, so you don’t have to!)

    We should trade salmon recipes . . . though you are in a much better position than me to get good, fresh, wild salmon. Lucky! Whenever I go to BC I gorge on salmon. Order it in every restaurant. Cook it up after buying it fresh from the docks (if I can). MMmmmm. Salmon. I miss the good stuff so.
