Traumatic times
The past two years, for me, have had some interesting times. I came off my push bike, a panic attack while skiing, I forgot my cannulas in Canada and had to completely overhaul my insulin treatment for 8 days and the resultant big hypo and the removal of my fixation plate (remember to do that much earlier next time).
In some ways, it probably looks like I have taken all this in my stride. I get up normally, get my arse to work and keep my levels pretty reasonable.
But it’s been exhausting. My requirements have fluctuated wildly and I’ve lost many of my hobbies in the background. Since the ride in October, I’ve lacked a focus outside of my obvious work.
I have discipline, with the type 1 that makes things so much easier, but on the odd occasion, that feels like going through the motions. It’s one of the reasons I am so keen to do the furniture!
I’m planning to do a motorcyle ride in June (heading out with a group to France) and of course I have my 100 mile cycle ride in August and October.
I take the time to smell the roses too and now it is a bright and beautiful day, I do really need to clean the inside of my office windows.
That should tide me over 😉
