Life update in Self-Improvement, 2018

Things have calmed down since I last wrote. I’ve been spending 100% of my energy (although its still not much) on self-care. Moving/filing for divorce/having my friend serve him the papers completely wiped me out. Combined with my quad injury from football practice a few weeks ago, I had nothing left to give mentally & physically.

I did go to football practice on Saturday, but I didn’t participate. My thigh wasn’t 100% yet and I couldn’t fully bend my knee (no knee injury, but when your thigh is swollen, it affects knee movement), which only gets worse with running/side shuffling. BUT it was definitely getting better and I didn’t want to ruin the progress. I told them I would try to participate Tuesday (yesterday). Secretly, I wanted to get a kickboxing class in on Monday to test it out before attempting to put it through the rigors of football practice on Tuesday. My thought was if kickboxing class went well, I’d practice Tuesday.

Kickboxing class did go well, and I was SO exhausted afterwards lol. Last night I practiced, and it only got aggravated when I tried to get down in the three-point stance that you see linemen do at the line of scrimmage. (I am not a lineman, but we were running drills). I only got tackled once during the entire practice, so that was pretty sweet lol.

I have my next therapy appointment on Monday. I haven’t seen her since last month. I have so much to update her on. I wish I could afford to see her more than once a month, but alas, that is currently not in the cards. At least I do get to see her though. Its nice to be able to talk about emotions, as valid or invalid as they may seem. Mine are always totally valid though ;) :p hahahaha
