Working through ...
... part of this whole Ironman journey has been a huge personal learning curve. I've been wanting to change my lifestyle for years. And while I kinda sorta had ... it wasn't as "stuck" as I wanted it to be. The whole year of "The DVT" showed me that. When I hit a bump in the road - and sure it was a MAJOR bump, but honestly aren't they all?? - I ( Read more... ) -
Not such a good week after all
After waking up on Wednesday with my foot screaming with pain it's pretty much gone into a nose dive from there. I lost count of the mg of Ibuprofen I took to hold the pain at bay. From the ball of my foot all the way down to my heel up the Achilles tendon to my hamstring. No weight bearing at all. Lord ( Read more... ) -
Good news!
I went to Jill my PT yesterday. She ruled out Plantar Fasciitis on my left foot. Yeah! PF can take weeks or MONTHS to clear up. Turns out I bruised the ball of my foot from my SPD cleats - I figured as much - and the remainder of the pain is from my old nemesis my sciatic nerve/tight dura.

Why people suck and a question
So. Last Sunday my daughter and her BF were driving the backroads home, here. A kitty was in the road and wouldn't move. They stop the car and the kitty runs under the car. As they try and move the car with BF pushing, the kitty moves along underneath. They stop again and this time kitty jumps into the wheel well. Daughter makes a grab and gets the ( Read more... ) -

Yo! Yo! Etsy Peeps!
So decided to start an etsy joint ... more for my daughter than myself as she needs an outlet to sell her beads/jewelry to pay off the oxygen concentrator that was delivered on Friday (along with my brand new RED Dell that was initially less than wowing me but then I installed Photoshop and oh! BABY! it just FLIES!) ... and I'm wondering where y' ( Read more... ) -
O.M.G
One of my favourite shows on HGTV (Canada) is Extremely Weird Homes. Or some such. I love the host, Victoria Hollingsworth. And I love the radical homes they show. Many of them are by artists customizing their homes into works of art. Such was one of the segments last night.
