Sometimes you have to be reminded of things you’ve already learned. I had just such a lesson when I saw my wonderful osteopath today, and he kicked my butt for my dodgy mental attitude regarding my knee. I’m not going to go on and on about it, because both it and I are feeling much better, but suffice to say, any person who assuages your guilt about eating 3/4 of a birthday cake and reassures you about your ability to perform a lunge when you’re really too frightened to is awesome in my book.

So, enough about the knee. I received an interesting phone call this afternoon, while eating a giant breakfast at 3.45pm with my sweet Miss M. Apparently a gym in Hawthorn has heard about Yummy Mummy classes, and they’re interested in me branching out and running some classes from there as well as Hunt’s. I feel quite flattered!

Tomorrow I’m going to spend the day cleaning. Vacuuming, dusting, mopping, scrubbing - dammit, I’m doin’ it all! I’m also thinking about throwing a lot of things away, and listing a bunch of stuff on eBay. I’m feeling a love/hate relationship with the idea of it, but I’m loving the notion of a clean house, as the filthy one I have at the moment is messing with my mind. Mr Dog is going on a big walk (with Miss M and I), and I’m doing a leg workout, but only with bodyweight (as commanded by my osteo) … insert me biting my nails right here!

So there you go … an update with only a brief mention of my knee. Definitely an improvement on the last couple of posts, which, as I read them back spell a speedy descent into insanity. I was going to write slow descent, but it was clearly quite rapid. I also spoke with my bank about my home loan today, and laid the groundwork for making an offer on the apartment on the weekend … aaaaah! I’m rapidly discovering anything to do with buying anything has a “but” attached to it. Hopefully I’ll get to the point where I ask enough dumb questions and finally feel more like an adult than a fifteen year old pretending to be one.

Today I’m loving: my super cheap Eskimo jacket which is like a wearable hot water bottle
