Just a little bit too much

Well it will come to no surprise at all to anyone who knows me well.........

I've over done it and now am in pain again with my ankle. I thought I was doing so well and did too much too soon.

I can't help but push myself to the limit if I want something, ex bf said that I need to learn to sit back and be patient. Damm I hate it when he is right. Or maybe it was puppies that were right.

So im back to icing as much as possible and having it wrapped and elevated as much as I possibly can.

Maybe one day I will learn my lesson. Dont know if I should return the crutches tomorrow or not.

Over did it

I thought when I got home I was sore but that has nothing on how sore I am now.

My ribs are sore when I breathe in deeply. Yes I know simple fix is not to breathe in deeply.
My foot has swollen up bigger than it was yesterday morning.
The top of my arms are really really heavy and sore. So much that it hurts to raise them behind my back or anywhere close to shoulder height. The inside of my arms have slight bruises on them.

I feel like sleeping all day, thats how tired I am. And im not normally a big sleeper.

Hope I've learnt my lesson now :(

I just want to walk!

Going ok but im sick of having to use the crutches.

My underarms/ribs hurt, yes im using them correctly. It hurts to laugh. Also my arms are really sore, guess I wont need to go to the gym for arms for a while.

Some of the color is coming out now, looking pretty disgusting.

Hey at least I havent fallen over today, thats 1 good thing. Also this morning went well, they were impressed that I still went! Hurry up Wednesday............

RICE ankle

Ok to update everyone. i've been to the doctors and good news is..... Its not broken or fractured. However, it has severe ligament damage. What this means is that I will be on crutches for at least a week possibly 2.

So for me its:
Rest
Ice
Compression
Elevation.

The foot is a lovely shade of grey today which will develop more color each day.

Foot is too swollen to wear a shoe. So for the meeting tomorrow i will be wearing a stocking and a slip on shoe on the other foot. Not what I would normally consider wearing but I havent really got a choice.

Hope they are impressed that I still turn up for it.
Anyway pain killers time.

Ouch ! that has to hurt

As I was walking down the stairs all was going well. Then I must have slipped or didnt see the bottom stair or something. I had only 1 drink 2 hrs before so it wasnt that at all!!!!!!!!!!!

So here I am sitting at the bottom of the stairs. A nice guy came over n asked if I was ok n helped me up. As soon as I got up I knew it was bad. It had already started to swell and pound.

Managed to get across the road and into a taxi and went home. Left Miss K at Star to meet up with her friends.

At home I had the very difficult task of removing my shoe n sock, any longer i think i would have had to cut my shoe off.

So here I am with an extremely sore/bruised/swollen foot.

Oh n I have one of those very important "meetings" tomorrow morning. Have asked my flatemate to borrow his auto car to get myself there. As its my left foot I cant clutch.

So Im going to have a fun week.

Farewell to Bailey

Well after so much discussion and general talk its now time. Bailey is going away and we dont know if she will ever be back. Kinda sad really.

I first met her when we bboth worked at Westpac maybe 8 years ago. She is one of those people you have known for years and catch up with when u both get a chance even if this is every 6months or so.

Anyway it will be sad to see her go, but im sure when she reaches the states she will be in contact.

So to faewell her we wont on a harbour cruise. Took a friend with me as everyone should know I dont go anywhere alone. Miss K had been on one of these cruise things before and so suggested upstairs outside as the best spot to sit. Was really nice, excellent view. I've never been on the harbour before so was enjoying the view.

Boat docked at Star City and Miss K n I decided to leave, next dock was 4am and we both had things to do in the morning. So we started to make our way down stairs then it happened.......................................................

Im baaaaaack!

Well im back!

I even managed to leave early about 11 am so Im back at a reasonable time.

Didnt get up to much as per usual there isnt much to get up to.

Wed- drove up
Thurs- Got keys cut for mom as dad lost his recently. The locksmith even managed to cut my car key for me, rather surprising since no one in Syd (except 1 asshole) could. Took mom shopping in Coffs for the night. Had dinner at sss steakhouse before we came home. Also went to the surf factory at Woolgoolga n bought a board bag, leg rope, wax n tailpad.
Fri- Went to Iluka to see my nan&pop & aunt n bring back my 5yr old cousin for a "sleepover". She is a really well mannered girl, so I didnt mind looking after her.
Sat- looked after munchkin for the morning. Did lots of drawings and coloring in and 2 puzzles. Took her up to the shops after lunch for a bit.
Sun- drove home.

Now dont go thinking that im liking the whole child thing, thats pushing things a huge bit too far.
Many people around town looked at me thinking that she was mine, wonder how long that takes to get back to mom on the grapevine. Small town so im sure it will, will confuse a few people for a while too :)

How to clean your room in 2 hours?

Never been a great person for keeping my room 100% spotless. So when a friend said they were coming over I thought I should do a quick clean up. Well my room is fairly big for a standard room but considering i have everything of mine in my room it is a little bit small. The house I grew up in was built by my dad therefore my room was about the size of 1.5-2 standard rooms.

So i had a time limit to get the room clean, and so I did the best in that time. Mom would be disgusted at how much stuff was just shoved into the cupboard but doesnt matter it looks tidy. Worse thing is my friend called to say " Having big dramas tonight, how about tomorrow instead?" Well thats nice isnt it, well at least its all done.

Just have to pack now to go to M&D's tomorrow. Im going to pack really lightly, no point taking loads of stuff as im only going Wed back Sunday.

Also might be meeting Steve in town and he might come back to Syd with me. Will be weird having him at home but good. Didn't realise how much I miss him until I spoke to him yesterday.

Anyway need to go help sort out drama.

Me to the rescue! Up up and away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
