A sleeping pill helped me sleep last night. Maybe I need to ask the Oncologist about getting some stronger sleeping pills. Maybe Dormicum. The sleeping pills I am using now are wimpy.
I drove the beetle to the train station, and took the train into Pretoria. At the Pretoria train station is a large building they rent out as a conference center.
A smart friend of mine was giving a speech today at a conference there, for Software Freedom Day. The conference was about Open Source Software. Her speech was about how the taxpayer pays so much money to support research in South Africa, but the taxpayer does not have access to the results of the research.
Another speech I was very interested in was on Ethereum. Ethereum is a blockchain based cloud application to facilitate the building of peer-to-peer contracts. I am interested in Blockchains. They are the future of many important aspects of our life. Banking, Sales, Contracts.
Today I was not the sharpest, but at least I wasn't embarrassingly stupid.
About half way through I started feeling poorly. An apple and some nuts helped. On arriving home I napped for about 3 hours.
At least I got out of the house. I needed that. I also need to walk more. I feel tired all the time, and I worry about fading out while a long way from home. I may need to do something like walk around the block 10 times. But I usually walk with a purpose, like shopping.
My compression stocking itched all day. Maybe I didn't get all the soap out of it when I showered. Tomorrow I'll put on a clean one, and wash this one.
Even I am bored
by this days blog.

You make me smile ... you're bored with your own blog. :-) Well, I wasn't bored with it, and I'm sure your friends and readers won't be either. So glad you challenged yourself by getting out of the house and be with people who have similar interests.
