arthur_p_dentJust a short recap this time around.
My foot has gotten more swollen again. I'll be heading back to the clinic on Tuesday to look into the x-ray results and hopefully get some idea what I'm dealing with. I know I'm not doing myself any favours by continuing to exercise, but at least I'm trying to limit how much that foot gets used.
I went to run club on Tuesday - no running, just socializing. I went out for lunch with my good friend on Wednesday, for dinner with some friends on Friday, and for drinks with friends on Saturday afternoon. It was a busy week socially, and a good one, but that battery definitely needs a couple days to recharge.
Due to tightened deadlines for month end, I had to spend much of Saturday in the office. I wasn't thrilled, but I did manage to get all of my work completed. That allowed me to keep my holiday tomorrow, and I'll take next Friday off in lieu, so only a three-day week to look forward to, which is nice.
This weekend I also managed to take care of a couple of small household projects that have been on a to-do list for a while. I have a couple more I want to do tomorrow as well, but still leave some time for relaxing.
That covers the week, but I've also been dwelling on some thoughts lately that have been weighing kind of heavy. I heard a song recently, and, as can often happen, one of the lyrics struck me and brought up some tough memories. Individually, I manage my feelings about those things fairly well when they come up. But when they all piled on at once I went into overload, and it has taken a while to stop spiraling. There will be some days in the near future when I expect a lot of it to hit again, but for now I'm doing ok.
That's going to be all for me this week. So long, until next time. =]
