How You Life Your Life |
|
You tend to deprive yourself of things you crave, for your own good. You’re laid back and chill, but sometimes you care too much about what others think. Your friends tend to be a as quirky as you are – which is saying a lot! You tend to dream big, but you worry that your dreams aren’t attainable. |

So what are you doing this summer?
Now that summer is officially here (yes, I know I’m a few days late). Any trips planned? Special events or projects?
My ‘summer holiday’ was Lisbon … don’t think Nog and I will be travelling anywhere else for awhile, though we might take a day trip or two between now and September.
I’m planning to take advantage of there being next to nobody at the gym so I can use the fitness room as much as I want to in the mornings. I also want to do some sewing and think about a silk collection for the clothing biz. Otherwise and that, I want to read a lot and go out more at night when it’s coolish. Oh, and also paint the hallways … the whole flat could do with repainting but the hallways are especially needy.
Since I’ll have next to no work (and next to no income) it’ll be all about how to best spend my time without spending money, and feeling rested and satisfied when the ‘new year’ rolls round again. And so I’m looking for a little inspiration.

Not looking much better, is it? Six weeks later.
In fact it looks a bit like an angry chorizo. Doesn’t feel too good either. 😦
Last week I started physiotherapy at a place recommended by my surgeon. A friend of his – a ‘hand specialist’ no less. Yeah right.
I showed up for the first appointment last Thursday and the ‘hand specialist’ was nowhere in sight. The attendent looked quite miffed when I said I wanted to speak to him before they started doing anything to my hand, so about half an hour later I got to see The Man. He said it would take at least ten daily sessions to start off with and then sent me out to get started. Turns out this specialist doesn’t actually touch patients – he has a bunch of minions (most of them look fresh out of grad school) doing all the work.
My ‘treatment’ turned out to be ten minutes under an infrared heat lamp, two minutes under a laser beam and then a five-minute massage. And each 17-minute treatment not only cost money but also took more than two hours out of my life (one hour just getting there and back). So I went again on Friday and then again on Monday morning … and walked out never to return. It was so packed in there on Monday that I was going to have to wait almost two hours for my 17-minute treatment. Which frankly I can do at home. So that’s what I’m doing now.
I can use my hair drier to heat up da finga and instead of the laser I’ll just glare at it (The Ray™). And I’m way better at massaging than the two ‘therapists’ I experienced. Boy, ineptitude and disorganisation really bug me – especially when it comes to my health. I still half-suspect the op wasn’t even necessary but I’m not going there (for now) . . .

Your Life is 41% Off Track |

Some things are going well, but you can’t help but wonder if you’re getting the most out of life. It’s time for you to slow down and reflect a little. You can change your life – but it’s up to you! |

I found this whilst googling around for an entirely unrelated image and it not only made me laugh but it also made me start thinking about what makes someone a ‘true friend’.
What’s your definition of a true friend, good friend, etc…?
