Oh live journal, Ive neglected you. I've had a schedule full of teaching and clients and house chores and I've been arguing most days with my old friend, anxiety. I won't go into all the boring details of why, so much of it isn't even mine- ( grown child with a broken heart, deadlines for taxes and contention between siblings)
I do have some weird things going on with my feet which is disconcerting. I have spent a life time relishing being barefoot whenever possible and I love to walk. This late summer I was in the garden and thought a bee stung me in the arch of my foot but shortly after I had a little lump in my arch and then suddenly had plantar fasciitis which is a painful pain in the butt for someone like me who loves walking and who likes to spend most of my time out of shoes.
Fast forward a few weeks later and I was working out and my other foot started hurting on the ball of my foot- it was excruciating as though I had pulled a muscle and my doctor said oh, you have metatarsalgia. That is healing up well but Ive decided, henceforth, my feet will be referred to as Byron and Shelly after the frail and fragile romantic poets. So annoyed. If anyone else has a planters fibroma ( scar tissue nodule on the tendon of their arch) and fasciitis please tell me what has helped you.
My work place had an end of summer graduation party for staff and students and the theme was circus and vaudeville! There were prizes for costumes a magician and a hypnotist and clown. It was wonderful ( all online) My costume was cloud in a starry night sky. Ive attached a couple of photos. I wish I could always be in costume, it is a type of whimsy that makes me so happy.
I have butterflies in my tummy as we countdown to our trip. We leave for Greece Tuesday and will be gone for three long months. I have so much packing, work and a few appointments before we go. Tell me, what do you do on long flights to pass the time and not be anxious. I don't mind flying but I do not like being trapped with a bunch of other people in smallish spaces. What do you like to do? So far I have a book, crosswords, cards to play with D, I looked up some yoga I can do sitting on long flights and I have some herbal calm supplements. Do you get nervous flying? What works for you? I think one of the problems is that its hard for a person with anxiety to differentiate between anxiety and excitement! Ive missed you, LJ friends. I hope life is being kind to you.
