Dr Said Part 2!

Well I called up the Dr today and got another appointment with the lovely Dr Kenny. She's very nice and understanding.

She confirmed that my list of "aliments!" are perfectly normal! (yeah I can hear you all laugh at the thought of me being normal!). She also said that a visit to the physio is an excellent idea! Which means I am off to see them tomorrow - 11AM appointment.

I also have a relaxation tape to help to de-stress, calm down and relax my tense muscles.

I also went swimming today - 40 lengths. Going swimming meant I had to drive. Driving meant a morning of stressing and clammy hands!

I started off OK and felt in control enough to go on the A42 the 1 junction to get to the other end of Ashby. Then I started to stress and was shaking by the time I came off. Any junction saw me worry and by the time I got to the pool I was close to tears.

Being in the pool wasn't much better as I was worried about being hit! Something I have never done before. Took 30 mins to calm down and start to relax. I did my 40 lengths then went home via the B road for a calmer drive.

Tomorrow I will leave for the physio at 10 so that I have time to stop and chill if required and also calm down before I go to be beaten up!

Pixie, I understand your fear about driving. I had a shunt from behind a couple of months ago, and all the time I am looking in my rear view mirror, thinking that the person behind isn't braking in time. It's those kind of accidents, like yours, where it's other people's actions which cause the problems, that put the fear into you. You can change you driving habits as much as you like - but other people are always going to be there. But you have to accept that accidents happen and get on with it all. Glad to hear you weren't hurt badly.

Well done you.. I completely understand what you felt and how hard that was Pix - after my M/C accident a few years ago, I got nervous at junctions too, and that waswhen I was walking on the flippin' pavement.

But getting back into a car was a big step, and you got through it. Don't forget that honey...

And.... no-one did anything monumentally stupid around you.

It's a good idea to leave nice and early too - At least that way you'll just be bored silly with waiting for your appointment rather than anything else!!!


(Stop me now - why can't I say things in a couple of words rather than 100's..??

The Next Three Weeks

So I have a few busy weeks ahead that may, or may not, affect what happens here. So this weekend I am running the Chester metric marathon - should do about 3:30 and get a PB by around 30 mins if things go to plan. Next week I am on holiday and have the in-laws visiting which will be nice. Then after then I have 2 weeks of jury service in Derby. I really want to get a case as I am really interested in knowing what actually happens and what it's like in court. But knowing my luck I will have 2 weeks of waiting for nothing. I have Ami's zoom calls to review and take notes on, books to read, coloring/drawing to try my hand at and Loki to watch! After that the exciting news is my part time request has gone through so from 4th December I will be part time. Very exciting. Then hopefully I can start a potential path to being a swimming teacher. Fun days ahead

What Are You??

Apparently I am a geek after spending some time chatting to a first line support person and comparing degrees!! I am also apparently an executive as I earn more than a certain sum of money! This I must point out is executive in the eyes of a Midlands person and not a southern!! I think I am a runner and a mother because I run and have a son! I don't think I have a career and would struggle to define what I really do! Talking of which I may change the address for this site to blog.html or similar because if I do go job hunting I am not sure if my made ramblings should be front page news!! hehe!! I currently work in IT doing support with a hint of customer service at second line. I run and I'm trying to learn to draw! So what or who are you!?!
