New Cube - LJ posting

angelakMy new cubicle space has been created. I actually have some semblance of privacy – for the first time since I worked here full time. During full time employment here - I have had the desk in the middle of the room. And before that? I was always stuffed anywhere, as an intern, which could include back closets – and that's a bit more private than my center of the room cube space.
It dawns on me that maybe my layout of my cube was un-friendly to LJ posting. We'll see what the latest phase of office space and my life brings as for LJ. Feeling the need to post some stuff.
As for my knee; today it feels pretty good. I freak out when I irritate it.
That and I wasn't really feeling 100% not-sick yesterday for whatever reason.
Rained for concerts on the green. I got soaked. But I earned the money I plan to use for my new cheapo fold down sofa for the spare room that I cleared out in the last month!
And Jim is down with halvsies so, we'll soon be the owner of something a little cozier and a place for people to crash; outside of my couches. I hate when people sleep on my couches. I feel like they'll get more wear and tear that way.
I also tend to like to have the option to sit in the room where the computer is when Jim is gaming and do my own thing. With my computer, with my book, or with my bead work. Which has been nearly a joke. I've beaded like once or twice.
In the last week I have had several chocolate attacks. I'd feel bad except I really feel like it was hormone related :P
Guess I'm female. The universe, after watching me deny it for like two decades, proves to me daily just how female I am. I am living life differently lately. I was obsessed with my benchmarks before. I am doing my best to hit as many benchmarks as I can as far as good eating and fitness. But I've got to still take it slow. Less is more sometimes. I guess I will do phase 6 later today (maybe after work) if things go okay as far as the day treating me gentle. I had my last second set of scheduled PT apts.
I talked to her and asked as many questions as I could, because it was pretty clear that I have reached the end of my path with the clinic. I have one last appointment in 3 weeks to see how things are going, but she said, “unfortunately, we cannot see all patients to the dissolution of pain.”
I was like, hm. Ok. But I do think the second set of appointments was more useful to me. I think it was because I was scheduled less with the assistant and more with the actual physical therapist? Whatever the case, I've really begun to get a handle on what is “normal,” ish as far as irritation, a day or two of rest, and stretching. I will continue to do my best with stretching on my own obviously, and moving slow on the R2R program. I asked her about the leg press machine that she has suggested – stuff like that. It's obvious in the past 2 months, I've gained muscle definition around the knees, as well as flexibility in general. I'm not about to let that go away after all the work.
And we talked about different terrains, and what to do at the end of the R2R program. I'd love to walk in there in 3 weeks with a report of goodness. She said we could cancel the apt if we didn't need it. But it seems to me I'd really like the closure. August 19th.
In the last 3 months of injury and recovery I've had a 4-5 lb average gain of weight. When I look at this from a step back sort of mentality, I realize that isn't too bad considering I stopped running. Yes, I've done other things... but still... things could be far worse.
Some days I feel like my resolve has slipped; how dedicated I am to my work outs. Other days I realize that is just me in slow recovery. It is hard to stay amped. I had so many reasons to be amped when I was out making daily accomplishments that were intense. You get what you put out in work outs.
Especially when it's regular, consistent, and slowly increased.
I do what I can.
