Wow its been a while since I last posted here! I actually meant to post here a while back but always got distracted by other things (just another slack excuse).

Anyway, Feet. You’re probably (not) wondering why I put up that particular title. Well I have them. I’d been having problems with my feet for a while – since the beginning of the year actually – and it got to a point that when I would walk from work to the train station (which could be a 20 minute walk and a casual pace) my feet would begin to ache, and then it got to a point that by the end of the working week I felt more like a cripple hobbling along with the amount of severe pain going through my feet, ankles, legs and knees. My Dr said that I may have a heel spur – a type of bone growth on the bottom of the heel so it feels like you are walking on a nail all day long (that was the pain I described I had). But the pain got really bad that I ended up going to a podiatrist who said “No , you don’t have a heel spur though you have similar symptoms. Your feet are flat – they have no arches so the muscles are pulling to a point where the muscle under the heel is tearing so it does actually feel like you might even be walking on the bone.” Not a nice description but that’s about what she said.

Well I’m taking a break from work for a week and a bit which is great, should give me a nice refresher before returning to that awful place. Maybe I’ll be able to finally drop the blood pressure tablets…

I’ve got a few jobs to do around the place including working on Animay and getting that reasonably updated (as best I can) as well as other bits and pieces including putting together some more Gundam kits!!! I ordered a few a while back with the knowledge that I was taking this time off and so I will spend some of my time putting these gorgeous gundams together. There is still one on the way and I’m hoping that will arrive early next week so I can complete it before I go back to work. Read the rest of this entry »

(sigh) Well it was good while it lasted, I may not have been able to do everything I wanted to do (money is usually the culprit for limiting what one can do) but I enjoyed my freedom while it lasted. It is the end of the day and tomorrow is my first day back at work after having about 4 weeks off. I am trying to keep the stress at bay as much as possible but since I know I will be needing to pester my boss the first moment I get in about something to do with my job, I will probably be awake all night playing out the as-yet-discussed conversation in my head -_-

I’ve spent a lot of time doing a spring clean, clearing out a lot of junk ready to add some new junk (lol). As you know I’ve also been playing video games, most recently Bayonetta and Darksiders – I have finished Bayonetta but I put Darksiders aside and as yet have not picked it up again. Mass Effect 2 will be out next week so that will be something I’ll be keen to get into as soon as I get my hands on it. I’ve also been mucking around with wordpress trying to create a theme for Animay for the new year – its now up and running as I put up up about half an hour ago (a few minor hiccups but it seems to be working okay). I’ve done some shopping, gone out to lunch a few times and caught up with family and friends so its been a good break.

Its just a shame it all has to end. Of course, because there is a public holiday next Tuesday, I had already prebooked a day off on the Monday (!!) before I went on my Christmas break so this coming week will be a full week of catching up, and the next week will be half a week of madness as school officially starts on Wednesday 28th Janaury here.

Now the countdown is on for the 2010/2011 4 week Christmas break!! ^_^
