Endo update!
I’ve just realised I forgot to do the last bit of my endo diary…so here’s a quick catchup All in all, it wasn’t nearly as bad as I was anticipating.  It’s wasn’t nice, but it wasn’t awful.  I don’t think I’ve slept quick so much before, I basically slept my way through most of it.  I did have the fun cramping and pain, but I did a fair amount...

jigs-andreels: How you practice in class… How you push in that last step or walk it… How you hold your posture in or let those arms fly… How you nail that rhythm piece or brush it… How you dance with confidence or go through the motions… That is how you will dance onstage. Dance each step, drill, piece, full dance like you are onstage at the Worlds Demand that excellence is a habit.    ...

A rather lovely Sunday
Today has been ace.  Yesterday we’d fun climbing, I so enjoy bouldering.  I got washed when I came in though so no need for a shower this morning.  I did have some aches from yesterday but nothing to write home about. Popped down to see one of my brothers and his wife.  They have a little girl due in about 4 days, well she is being brought in on Wednesday due to some complications.  So ...

Well that's better!
Bouldering was excellent fun! I managed to get a blister on the palm of my hand which tore off, I didn’t notice initially but I felt it on the last climb.  We managed 2 hours. The part of my arm between the wrist and elbow are thoroughly aching!  Lots of core strength, I was right, my upper body strength let me down a bit, when it comes to overhangs my arms just weren’t able to pull me...

Ah well
Hard to beat a kick in the teeth to make you realised a few things.  Ah well! Best to get back up again, hurt feelings heal.  Shame I’ve lost respect for someone I thought very highly of.  That is life.  Live and learn and keep moving forward.  I’m going to try and let go of it today, don’t want to hold on to the resentment, I’ve been working to stop myself doing that.  It...

Morning Dance Done!
Got into work and started my dancing at about 7am, by 7.30 I was lying on the floor utterly exhausted! Not a bad workout though, I’ve got 2 out of 3 steps up to speed now and the 3rd isn’t far behind.  30mins of dancing full speed is very very tiring, especially when it’s a heavy jig.  I’m at Open level so it’s a bit intense and considering I’ve not done this...

Whoop! Sorta
So the craic! I’ve starting to feel human!  I think I’ve got over the worse of it.  This morning was no pleasant but I just slept my way through it, with the pain only waking me a few times and I slept most of the night too.  So am not feeling too exhausted today - at least there was some benefit to all that sleeping! I’ve even managed to have an eggy breakfast - still in the...
