It felt big to me at the time, but then I saw so many people travelling with huge bags. But, travel aside, a big bag would be handy for work. Could bring all my things to lectures!Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00522718077350466894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-543798946611965210.post-40364779243061431192012-03-01T08:56:41.954+00:002012-03-01T08:56:41.954+00:00Oh god I need those tips about anxiety.

I've been making myself sick with stress and exhaustion and crying in work bathrooms. Thank heavens you've been able to focus on the bright things as well!

I will say that when I first went to the physio with it he was unusually solemn - he said sometimes it just doesn't respond to treatment and can take a good year to heal! I was not happy. I'm feeling really really lucky to have had improvement but you've reminded me that I really should be sticking with all the things that helped and not getting complacent about it...Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06350144954173714085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-543798946611965210.post-37959850932497949652012-03-01T07:25:30.417+00:002012-03-01T07:25:30.417+00:00Oh goodness!

I hope your next few months manage to stay one step back from the keys-in-the-door level (that must be a new definition of over-worked and frazzled). I also like post-work showers, so much so that some days I end up having 3 (morning post exercise, post work, and then occasionally again before bed!). <br /><br />And thanks!Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06350144954173714085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-543798946611965210.post-57568156258930488792012-03-01T07:24:29.227+00:002012-03-01T07:24:29.227+00:00Soon you'll get to see them!

May you heal up quickly, and make sure to ice your feet very often Kari! :) Also, I suggest you use a tennis/golf ball to roll your foot on to massage it and get rid of tension...or a foam roller even! I think that helped my foot a lot b/c of my over-supination. (opposite of pronating) Oh! And also, Ibuprofen if you haven't taken any yet. And what a beautiful coast! Ahhh....<br /><br />When I go through rough patches, I just fall on my knees and cling onto God and prayer/Bible, b/c it's truly all the strength I need :) Have a gorgeous day!Elliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00303576255576994200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-543798946611965210.post-13593803372602267582012-02-29T14:37:39.180+00:002012-02-29T14:37:39.180+00:00I like that bag!

That or no bag and stuff stuck in my pockets (a good reason to not want summer to come.. goodbye coat!)<br /><br />PF (from what I've heard) is one of the hardest running injuries to get rid of! I had a random pain in my heel once and freaked out that it might be PF (It wasn't.) When a friend on mine had it, she was icing her foot 6-8 times per day for 6 months, and then she was able to run 1/4 mile at a time and build up!<br />But despite that depressing story, you will heal up and move on (and hopefully prevent it from coming back with proper stretching and maintenance!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-543798946611965210.post-68022097838104221272012-02-29T01:26:09.909+00:002012-02-29T01:26:09.909+00:00I know all about those random memory lapses!

A thought slowly dawned on me, and yes, there they were, stuck in the front door where I had forgotten them when I came home at 10pm the night before!<br /><br />I've got a massive 4-6 months ahead of me at work, the key to surviving it I find is being able to draw a line between work and home. I get home, have a shower and wash the day away, it really helps. The other thing is making sure I still eat right, good food really seems to suffer when you are busy. It certainly looks like you are doing that.<br /><br />BTW I love your new bag!Lisa @ Blithe Momentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06044161376528094256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-543798946611965210.post-61759107838917861912012-02-29T01:08:28.135+00:002012-02-29T01:08:28.135+00:00Sounds like a busy month!

It's always fun to experiment in the kitchen -kale, besan and smoothies is a great achievement of new and old discoveries for the month. Love your photos of Cottesloe too, the man is always ranting about how much nicer the Perth beaches are in comparison to Melbourne.Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10057980932079998162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-543798946611965210.post-20147888388866763672012-02-29T01:08:03.565+00:002012-02-29T01:08:03.565+00:00that new bag is adorable!that new bag is adorable!Simply Lifehttp://www.simplylifeblog.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-543798946611965210.post-80723247702155736472012-02-28T20:49:22.444+00:002012-02-28T20:49:22.444+00:00love those pics of the Cottosloe!love those pics of the Cottosloe!Lisa (bakebikeblog)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14802600386274518441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-543798946611965210.post-53651554770042928152012-02-28T11:06:04.059+00:002012-02-28T11:06:04.059+00:00what an interesting month february has been. glad...what an interesting month february has been. glad your aches and pains have been dealt with. was interested in the information about Tetris - I used to love playing it until I changed computers (many years back) - I have found it online more recently but try and keep away because it is very addictive. I do love sudoku too but don't have so much time to play that these days either. Never heard of Pincross 3D but if I had a bit more time I would love to explore itJohanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.com
