A New Work Week

It was back at early this morning for work.  I had a call at 8:30 and while it wasn't long of difficult it was still a reason to make sure I was at my computer ready and awake after my holidays last week.  On the lucky side it was my only meeting for the day so I can catch up on emails from my time off and work on a document that I have to prepare for the rest of the day.

Yesterday was Father's Day and it went mostly good.  Hubs enjoyed his gifts and went for a nice bike ride with Bear.  She's been having so much fun since figuring out how to work two wheels a couple of weeks ago.  We had steak and potatoes for supper and the steak wasn't the greatest but it was still okay.  Hubs and I had a fight, which is becoming more common again.  I'm just unhappy and sinking back into depression and he doesn't get that.  He's also very sensitive to how he thinks things are being said even when they are not meant that way and so goes off easily.  Having to be stuck together for the last three months hasn't made this any better.  I'm trying to be vigilant and remember to take my pills so that at least I'm somewhat stable but they are not always at the top of my priorities.  Especially when I think of how many there are and that I have to keep taking them and taking them and it just makes me not want to have them at all.  I've also been off my exercise routine and so I'm unhappy about my weight while doing nothing to fix it.  I'm just spiraling down and so I need to get it together. 

I did manage to get an appointment with my doctor last week and talk to him about my knees.  They are so bad some days that I can't even go up or down stairs without pulling myself along on the handrail.  He thinks that it's my patella being pulled due to my quads being tight but I don't agree.  My knees are shot from years of gymnastics and cheer leading and I'm quite certain need to be replaced.  For now he has given me a topical cream to help with the pain and suggested I go for physio.  I will try that and see how it is.  I have an appointment booked for Friday to see our regular physiotherapist and I'll discuss it with her further.  Maybe after she looks at them she can recommend something else or give me something more concrete to go back to the doctor with. 

There is not too much else going on today.  Kids are bored already and there is no schoolwork to threaten them with anymore.  They are currently colouring all the sidewalk blocks in the back yard a different colour with chalk to make a dance floor so hopefully that keeps them busy for a while.

It's a beautiful day outside today so I hope you get to enjoy it!
