Yesterday I worked too lte by accident. I'd started half an hour earlier and ended up leaving 25 minutes after work ended, so not much progress :/
On the way home, as I approached a busy crossing, an ambulance chopper hovered over the road. Had to cross the road on foot, bicycle by the hand. Five
police cars, fire brigade, 2 ambulances were still on the scene.
Had I not left too late, I could have witnessed a horrible car crash, where a car ran into a pedestrian at high speed. The pedestrian didn't make
it.
In miscellaneous news, there is serious train delay between home and work, which is very annoying. Today I was so ocused on leaving early and taking
the bus, that I forgot to take my medication - or bring it for lunch.

I've just released my new album on BandCamp.
Delusions Of Grandeur
I would ask you to just look up the artist Turbulator, but unfortunately for me, there are a whole bunch of items, including another artist, that come
up with the search term of Turbulator. I'm particularly attached to it, so won't be changing it any time soon. That other Turbulator is from the
Netherlands I think and hasn't been active for many years. Step aside, I'm just getting started!!
Maybe I need to be an artist with at least one album for some time before I appear in searches.
Anyway, I've already sold a copy of the digital album. I think it might be Arkay from zappa.com days. I was taken very much by surprise because I
wasn't expecting it to sell. The notification popped up by surprise in the middle of me designing my page banner, not long after I'd published the
album.

Congrats on that major step, the first million is always the hardest to earn, as they say in the trade 
My "little" sister (54 years old) has released two novels in the past months and put lots of money, time, and effort into it but it is very hard to
gain a name in the biz, maybe some day? Hope it will work out better/faster in your case.
Btw, did you shoot the coverphoto by yourself (and what is the meaning of the bottle opener)?

Aww sweet of Arkay! Congrats on your sale!
Had a rough week for it, due to train constructions my commuting time doubled, but I hope it'll be over after this weekend.

Yes.
It’s a kind of sculpture I put together a while ago on a shelf in my studio. Beer is mentioned in one of the songs and also in the program.

I see, so your obviously not only talented in sculpturing air molecules
My first guess about the bottle opener was that it might be related to the trash container in terms of producing/avoiding/recycling waste.

The main intention is that it relates to the theme of delusions of grandeur.

Called the doctor today to see if we can put in some blood work today. In the mean time Im waiting. I'm too faint to do very much though. Have been
playing lots of computer games involving cats (BF gave them to me. I love cats a lot and always wanted to have one, but he doesn't, so I try to
indoctrinate him with kitty love a bit. )

So yesterday I called the doctor, and by 1 o'clock I got the OK to request the blood test.
Thing is, I couldn't do this on Monday and as they wouldn't work weekends, and by Tuesday the issue might be gone to come back next month in full
force (it being cycle related). As it was already midday and I tried to get it done the same day, I checked out the options - the only place where I
could get the blood work done within a manageable distance was in Veldhoven, at 45 minutes cycling.
Due to construction works it became an hour, after getting the blood tapped I went to the city center there to browse shops and stuff, and then cycle
back.
So I guess I'm not as poor as earlier this week. Hurray!

Called the GP yesterday for the better part of my lunch break and prepaid bundle for the results of my blood test (no anemia and no clotting issues),
and to make an appointment for further testing (smear, brrr, brrr, brrr) but they couldn't see if there were slots, and I'd have to call back in the
morning.
Call back in the morning - no place available.  Appointment for
next week due to work.

Apparently there were riots in my home town last night after the victory of the Dutch over the Turks.
Don't you just love football?

Doctor's tests went ok, the results will be in in 5 days. I expect them to be negative.

Been a rough week again with the train works making me get up earlier, leave home earlier and spend more time commuting. I don't get enough sleep
either, with general stress and my health and DED of course.
Yesterday was a bad day for it. As my team at work discussed the chances of the Dutch team at Euro 2024, I was the only one convinced they were going
to lose and I told them "if they win tonight, I'll wear my orange dress tomorrow."
Way from the station became a small disaster when I got in the train in the wrong direction. Which takes half an hour to arrive at the next stop. And
then I had to go back. I called my dad to warn him to eat, as I would certainly not make it home in time for dinner. I didn't have any time at the
station to grab anything more substantial than a sandwich to eat. Arrived home at 7:36, an hour and a half later than normal.
The sandwich I had on the train couldn't cut it so I got the munchies and baked 2 eggs. One egg had gone off and I got diarrhoea.
Went to bed shortly before the match was over, to a 1-1 tie, and on my way to bed I cut my foot so badly I need to go downstairs again for a bandaid.
Went down, heard Netherlands had lost the game, fixed up foot for the night, went back - and discovered I had to remove several blood stains off the
carpet.
Barely slept a wink. I'm ready for this week and need to work one more day.
