It's back to work again today. I just spent one hour on the brain straining task of recoding something that was previously coded really badly. So I thought I'd take a quick break with an LJ post.
Friday I went to the podiatrist. Best appointment ever. I can so recommend the Intraining Running Injury Clinic from a health point of view. I'm out of over-pronator shoes and back into mild motion control shoes.. which makes so much sense. There some times when store persons, even if they're well trained in running shoes, just don't cut it when analysing gait and prescribing shoes. So it's seems I've been mis-prescribed for the past 2 years (which is when all my running problems have been). We'll see if it helps.. I've been put on a reduced running regime for a couple of weeks, but ever since wearing my new shoes it's been great. Yay!
Then after that and a quick trip home, I went out with UQ OT Dept peoples for a birthday dinner. It was heaps of fun and I pulled out my tarot cards and did some pretty cool readings, which was way impressive if I do say so myself.
Then the weekend was filled with another trip to Springbrook, this time with more people. It was really good and fun in heaps of ways, but nowhere near as relaxing as last time. Part of that could have been due to the alcohol and subsequent poor sleep. Part of it I'm sure was the rude confrontation we had with our camp neighbours (a family with 5 little kids who where, how do I say, "different cultured in regards to manners and respect") within an hour of arriving. In classical Libran style, I just can't stand purposeless social friction. So, after our walk I had to smooth it over a little and struck up a friendly relationship. It was all very draining though.. and I feel really tired today.
GD subsequently was awesome. I'm very inspired by that at the moment.
Now for another full week of partying, socialising, working and sorting things out.
Step one is a reaffirmation of my frugality principle.
