Monday again, and I'm feeling knackered. Luckily, I have the day off, so I can do things at my own speed. I'll get round to doing some chores, but not quite yet. I just returned from my last round of physical therapy - at least the last session covered by my last prescription. Maybe I'll be able to continue, my new ortho doc said she'd want me to continue once we started the ACP-therapy. And maybe we'll start that on Friday. Last Friday I just got another cortisone shot since the knee was still fairly swollen, and I do hope it'll be fine on Friday, because if I'm going to do this therapy, I'd like to start it ASAP, so that I'm done before the weather gets really hot this summer, and before I go on holiday. Hot weather has always bothered me physically, so I try to avoid having medical procedures during that time, because I just suffer more. So we'll see how that goes.
I'm so bloody knackered today because I went to Kung Fu practice yesterday. The Tai Chi instructors regularly offer extra workshops, and the Kung Fu practice is part of that. Most of the time, I cannot attend due to work, but occasionally, it works out for me. However, yesterday, I was the only student to show up, so I had a private lesson. It was all very relaxed, we talked a lot and I think I learned a lot.
I've been exercising more recently, because it's the only thing I can do to help my knee. At least it's what I'm told, and it seems to be working at least some of the time. I do feel more in control of my body, and that has to be a good thing.
My cats are going a bit insane today: zooming around meowing. But they seem happy, and clearly enjoy the weather: I can give them access to the porch while I'm home, so they can zoom around and watch birds and neighbours outside. We have secured the porch with some netting, so it's a safe space for all of us to enjoy.
I'm too cold at the moment, but I'm planning to grab a cup of tea and a book and go outside and read.
My work schedule is quite relaxed this week - at least that's what it looks like at the moment, so I'm in a fairly good mood. I'll cook something nice for tea tonight - maybe some Japanese curry, or an Indian curry. I bought the most beautiful aubergine, and I'm looking forward to eating it while it's still fresh. It's so smooth and black, really impressive. You can tell I'm in a good place mentally when I'm this keen on cooking. :-)
Let's hope it'll shape up to be a good week.
