Time is flying

One week has passed and I have to apologize for not blogging at all, the plan was to publish the last entry a bit earlier, but the week passed by too quickly.

I am attending a course in pain management and it started last week. A bit strange to be a part of a group where you talk about pain and everything that follows with it, but kind of good too. We had one hour with some education followed by one and a half hours of training and stretching. I can't say that this group thing, walking around in a circle with your arms up high and jumping around, is really my thing. But, I will give it a try and see how the next times are going to be.





I actually had a good week, yes, some pain and had to take some medicine. But I was able to train quite much, took some longer walks with the dogs and managed to meet some friends. I also managed to tidy up and clean the apartment, which is working fine as long it is on a daily basis, but real spring-cleaning is rather seldom. I just don't have the energy. Something I have become pretty good at is eating properly. I want to loose some weight and have started not a real diet, but a change in my nutrition. It is not so difficult actually, you just avoid carbs the last six hour before bedtime. That means salad with some egg, fish or meat for supper.


Yesterday started pretty early, out for a walk with the furballs and some breakfast before my “driver” picked me up. My car is broken right now and I am waiting for it to be fixed. I had an appointment at my psychologist today. It is strange how much the fact of knowing you have someone you can talk to affects the beginning of the week. I feel good on Mondays as I know that I can talk about thoughts and feelings, I often feel crap afterwards and feel like crying, but it kind of reliefs some of the pressure.

Today was day two of pain management. Not so much to tell about it, talked about pain, what it is and what we can do with it. We did some training again too. This time we used resistance bands and had some exercises on a gymnastic ball. Still, the group thing is not really my thing, but it was nice to meet the others again. I suddenly remembered that I had some resistance bands at home..think I will use them a bit more from now on...

Tomorrow will be a rather relaxed day, or well, I have to clean the apartment and I have to work a bit more with a website for a friend. On Thursday it is time for training again and in the evening I will attend a very interesting lecture about dogs, really looking forward to it. I don't have any plans for the weekend yet, I will just take it as it comes.

Right now I am chilling in the sofa, just had my salad and am waiting for my tea to be ready. It is pretty cold outside now, brrr, autumn is coming! And it is raining! 

But I actually like autumn, it is a very colorful time outside, cold yes, but wonderful. I love to sit inside in front of the fireplace and drink some tea, read a good book or just watch the flames. Autumn also means that winter is coming soon and darker times to arrive. Not only less daylight but also more depressions, but I don't want to think about that yet. Let's concentrate about autumn first :-)
