update

Hello, hello.

Another non-running blog post for you all. I am unfortunately still stuck in the land of non-running until at the very earliest, 12 September, when I see the specialist about my foot. The last few months have definitely made me appreciate what it is to be healthy and fit. I know I keep saying it, but I will never take it for granted ever again. It has made me realise that it is perhaps not a good plan to rely so heavily on running as stress relief and a social life - good to have other options to fall back on.

Not much else to report... I recently had an exhibition, sold some work. Work is crazily busy, as always. My sister is pregnant again and my car is being repaired, post limo-bust up. I still can't work out how my car was hardly damaged and the big expensive monster was trashed!

I have also had all my hair cut off again in a short, messy 'bed hair' crop, a la halle berry/michelle williams.

limo

I forgot to mention in my previous post that I had a car accident last week.

I was driving to work, minding my own business and waiting to turn into the car park at work, when a bus stopped to let me through. Without thinking (!) I pulled across and promptly hit a car.

Not just any car, either. No.

I hit a two week old, chaffeur driven car, which, apparently (on looking at the business card of the driver) was actually a limo. I managed to take out three panels of his car, but only scratched the paint off the front of my faithful little toyota starlet.

Either way, I still have to pay the excess, so I'm getting mine repaired too.

When I'd calmed down from that, I went into work. Later, I went to leave for a doctors appointment to discover I had locked my keys in my car in the kerfuffle. It was only that I left the boot unlocked that I managed to scramble through and unlock the door without having to call the RACQ.

Whose overdue membership fee, I promptly decided to pay!

update

I have had about a million emails from everyone asking why I haven't blogged anything in ages, so I thought I should do a brief update of sorts.

I'm still not running and am still waiting for my specialist appointment to come up. The good news is that because I've done virtually no exercise for ages (and I'm talking one RPM class a week if that!) my foot actually feels a bit better. I may start walking to see if it recurs.

I've since had some other medical problems, which has resulted in a lot of doctors appointments and various other stuff. It is hopefully nothing that won't respond to treatment but it's meant I haven't been a very well girl, hence no blogging.

I have also put on a fair amount of weight again. I'm not back to 126kgs, but I'm a lot fatter than I've been in a long time. It's not a very nice place to be.

At the moment, I'm hoping that once I get the all clear to start running again (and learn to run again!) and with some more treatment for other stuff, things will improve.
