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 :-)
