angelakI haven't posted since last week!!!!
So here goes.
The weekend went at a nice pace. Not too fast, not too slow. Not too busy, not too dull.
Enough stuff, enough cleaning, made some headway with my house. Happy about that.
I walk around and it feels lived in, but not overtly cluttered. Lived in; I can deal. Cluttered EVERYWHERE, I begin to exhibit irritation at the universe. Chaos doesn't suit my mentality for a neutral head space, honestly.
Rufus had digestive issues all weekend long – that was no fun.
He seems to finally be getting through it.
Thank goodness.
I haven't run in the past week or so, but I went for a walk around Greenlake. As usual, I CAN go for walks, but often times on certain surfaces I do end up paying for 2 days in slight tenderness in the tendons. This doesn't make my recovery any less, it just means I experience discomfort. I wouldn't have traded the gorgeous day and pleasant lake for anything. One day I'd love to run around that lake.
Spoke with a co worker who has HAD patellar tendinitis. He was going on about his 90 mile hike when I said, “You are a beacon of hope for me.” And told him I remembered his patellar tendonitis he mentioned once, and now he was able to do things. I asked him how that journey went for him; and he told me they prescribed Celebrex to him – particularly because he had taken enough ibuprohpen that it burned a hole in his tummy. He told me more about the situation - and I wondered why, in 16 months no one had prescribed ME a Cox inhibitor. NO, it's not a magic pill, and all drugs have side effects, but honestly?!? So I made an appointment and today I will be asking my doctor that I saw years ago for a back problem – about Celebrex. Just because it couldn't hurt to kill pain and inflammation in one swoop. You never know, a nudge in the right direction could be all my body needs to send it back into equilibrium.
16 months into my situation, I'd hope so.
Regardless, moving on into other avenues. Got some good goals going on.
Last night marked day 9 in the 30 day challenge.
Ran out of steam at the end of class; likely a blood sugar/electrolyte issue.
That happens every now and then :P
What else, what else?
I know posting anything is better than nothing because the little things fall by the way side and when I go back 2 years from now and read this, I will be glad I recorded it. Jim and I are doing fine.
Working on the household and perfecting how we do things.
As far as my life on a grand scale:
I am convinced that things are turning around for the better.
That I am making headway on my emotions and my life circumstances.
June is going to be the turning point, in my opinion – and this is good. Excellent.
I have decided right here, right now.
And I am living every day in the moment.
So tonight – I hope day 10 of Bikram treats me okay!
