Why all field trips must always return to Kitsap during peak commuter hours is a mystery to me. Peak hours when the boat is already crowded, hot, and full of tired people that work all day. Peak hours when it's going to be easiest to loose track of your large group of young children, or have them deranged some mentally unbalanced person, yeah, that seems like a good time to have your field trip return to its point of origin. PSYCH! its a totally stupid time. Yet they always choose it. Great time to jam turn styles with people who don't know how to scan their ticket.
I love kids, and I love field trips for kids. Good idea. I just think you could better plan a time to take them home. My memory may be foggy, but at least in my school district, growing up, they planned for the bus to leave before rush hour.
But here I sit, on a ferry full of noisy children, and with tighter seating, also more noise than normal adults. We've all given up on the idea of our normal ferry nap. I'm writing a blog, others are getting to know a new friend. I guess change can be a good thing. Spice of life right?
Well, I've decided to take this out on you with a blog post about my feet. I've noticed, I write better blogs when I'm angry, or even lightly enraged by some observation or other. I've felt too much peace in my life lately, so I haven't had much to say. I still dont. I'm fine with the children, actually. They aren't bad kids. Today's selection is brought to you by the Boys and Girls Club of America. Good org, in my opinion.
So my tendons. I still have achillies tendonaitis, and plantar faciaitis. They suck. Don't ever get them. If you do, try to get to a physical therapist, they are far more helpful in treating it than my foot doctor is, or my regular doctor, who didn't even have a clue what was wrong.
Any way, it's getting better at a very steady rate. This pleases me. It's a very slow rate. This frustrates me. I ran out of P.T. visits and am now waiting for my insurance to approve three more. This is more frustrating than anything.
However, in the mean time, I just continue my strengthening and balance and flexibility improving exercises at home (and work) on my own. As well as a massage and ice regime. I'm not very good at the massage part, and I'm missing the ice/electrode thing, and occasionally the ultrasound thing. Those helped a lot. That stupid metal scraper, that I don't miss at all.
Any way, I'd really just like my foot to finish healing. I have all these exercises and stretches to do, three times a day. Plus the ice and massage. The result of this is that my core and arms have been greatly neglected while my legs (im doing both legs even though I only have to do the injured one, because I want them to be balanced) Any way, my legs are pretty stellar looking right now, appart from how white they are.
So I really need my foot to heal, so that I have enough time and energy left to build my core and arms. I'm sure they are getting a little with the stuff I'm doing, but they really want more time.
Well, that's pretty much it for now. I'm feeling good about my life, like I am deciding my own fate, for the first time ever. Maybe I'll talk more about that sometime, but it feels really good to own your own life and decisions, and not just live to meet what you think(or actually are) everyone else's expectations. Happy wednesday. Time to get on a bus. With no field trip children :)
