Ahhhh...That's much better..Ahhhh..

I've aggravated one thing & that's led to a,b,c & d...Have been advised to keep it super duper easy for the next few days & visit the coolio physio on Monday. No long long long walks along the beach just short ones...

Ahhhhh..

Cute dog!

DBF told me last night that while he was cleaning out the garage, he found a set of his old wheels. These were the ones he crashed on, so the rims are shot, but he says the hubs are in great shape. What he wants to do is to see if it makes sense to build a set of wheels around those (and if it's financially feasible), and if it does, I can have those. He knows I want a new bike, and that that's not happening for a while, and that I'm trying to avoid spending money on my current bike because I'm trying to save for a new one (while dealing with the grad school-related expenses).

Time for another thread title haiku, I do believe:

"Creaking"
"Woo Hoo!"
"Arthritis question"

I am exhausted. I can't sleep.
Diagnosing myself with an adjustment disorder... seriously, since I started working, I get in bed, feel exhausted and then can't fall asleep. When I actually do fall asleep, I wake up at 4:30 or so, which is normal for me at this time of year, but jeez, I can't continue on 3 hours of sleep.
I have so much paperwork, I've been working at home until 10:30 or 11:00 PM during this ramp up period. And it doesn't feel like I am doing therapy with anyone, even the parents. It feels like teaching. I am busy, I like my flexible schedule and the people i work with are nice. I even like my clients. Part of my distress is that I have little (no) training in working with behavior disordered kids who are less than 8 years old. I have a couple of clients who are 4 or 5! Yesterday I came home from doing play therapy with a 4 year old, with glitter glue all over my shirt! I actually think he made some progress, but, I really don't feel competent. I can deal with traumatized teenagers, though...
I know I don't have to stay here to do all of my 3300 hrs. for licensing, but I really don't want to change jobs after a year. I also know I am stressed because everything is new... but, I also realized, that last year, I truly found my niche at my internship. My first internship was OK, I learned a lot, but I finished in May feeling very competent and I am not using a lot of those skills now.
This too, shall pass. Thank G-d for my bike.

Crankin, I hope your transition into work gets easier! Is there someone in your profession that can mentor you?? Just a thought?

I have been taking it easy for the last few days but am fighting an uphill battle with gravity . I did a short 1/2hr walk in my area today & that was just enough for my upper body. The sports bra helped a little bit.

I changed physios (long story) and was told that becuase of the sterniclavicular dislocation years ago, push up type thingies are out of the question...Which I didn't know...

I think the recent mtb fall I had weakened things but i didn't know this at the time. I continued on as i do & somehow must have really bothered something...

I'm going to ask my dr if i can have an upper body ultrasound as that may give me some answers. It might be a bit late but things aren't really improving very quickly...

Yes, "supervision" is a required part of the field. But right now, I have so much to learn, that my weekly meetings are being taken up with that. I also am part of a peer consultation group and we have our first meeting on 7-16. These are all people I went to school with, and they are very smart. I *know* what to do, it just sucks to not sleep. I did have a better night last night, though. It took me awhile to fall asleep, but I did sleep and when i woke up at 4:30, I was able to go back to sleep until 7:00.
I could go back to my own therapist, but now, knowing what I know, I don't think she was that good. A nice lady, but... I might call her, though, if this continues.

Guys, does anyone know where to get decent looking high visability clothing for inner city cycling.. ie to be worn over outerwear?

Try construction safety supply places for a light weight safety vest. Weighs almost nothing, designed to go over jackets. A LBS (local bike shop) might also have reflective bands to go around your pant legs - to keep from flapping too much and risk getting caught in your chain.

So, she's not guilty. Surprise, surprise.

I'm shocked. And as disgusted as I was when O.J. was declared "not guilty."
