Too Much Day...
Oct. 21st, 2010 10:14 pm[This is actually "yesterday" by the time I finished and posted it - it's around 24 hours later now.]
Had a drama-filled day today. Set off to Rebel Sport to buy a kickboard for my hydrotherapy exercises - it's down in Prahran but didn't look far on the map, honest! My cunning plan was to buy the kickboard then go swimming on the way home.
Firstly I got distracted by discovering that Windana (drug/alcohol rehab place close to here) has a bunch of great community services like massage therapy for $35/hr concession and anybody is allowed to access them, not just clients ... and their massage therapist happened to be free right when I dropped in! So that delayed me by about an hour and a half all up plus gave me a post-massage hangover which I should have expected (but had not thought about).
Then I got delayed by the Chapel St shops in a big way - I forgot that travelling down strips with shops (interesting shops I have not been past before, to boot) is so very much slower than travelling on familiar open footpath with no obstructions... and then I got there was further delayed by the enticing shoe section at Rebel Sports (nothing fit, in the end).
... and then I had to buy some lunch so I could take my tablets because I'd been out so long, which didn't take too long but was extra time and energy. Anyway, by the time I got back and went past the pool I'd been out for 4 hours and couldn't possibly have managed hydro so I just went home. (Somewhat lucky that I was too tired for the pool - I realised this evening I'd forgotten to take my towel!!!)
So got home and collapsed into bed at 4pm and failed to nap much until 6pm when Trina came. Felt awful and exhausted as I had the post-massage hangover effect extra strongly because this massage therapist isn't familiar with me, added to the "sat up for too long" crappy exhaustion from being out for twice as long as I'd expected.
( in which Ani doesn't kill a bird ... but we think he did )Exhausted and post-massage Ricky was now also tachycardic and coming down off a very major spike of adrenaline. Really really REALLY not what I needed to be doing tonght...
Am now going *flop* in a major way!
Love you all,
