It’s been a while since I’ve blogged, so time for a general update.
I’ve not had any alcohol for over two weeks now. It’s an experiment to see if it changes how I feel mentally, emotionally and/or physically. So far it’s been interesting, and I’ve enjoyed the sense of being in control that it gives me.
I’ve entered a half-marathon in September, and it’s got me out of bed and running a bit more regularly already. I find that if I start the day with a run, I am so much more positive throughout the day and I tend to achieve a lot more. I’m doing whatever it takes to stay happy and positive at the moment. Exercise definitely helps.
The softball season has begun – one loss and one epic win. A couple of very enjoyable tournaments. Tonight sees behind the plate for the first time this season as an umpire!
I’m becoming strangely addicted to the indoor climbing malarky. If I don’t go for a few days I start to get itchy over it. I think it’s because I’ve made a few breakthroughs lately (flashed by first 5B, for those in the know) and I can feel myself becoming stronger. I don’t want to lose what I’ve achieved and there is still so much more to achieve!
I’m half way through War and Peace. Really enjoying it, although my mind wanders slightly during some of the war scenes. It’s a lot more accessible than I thought it would be – a bit like an epic Russian soap -opera.
I made a recent trip to the National Theatre to see Dido Queen of Carthage. Loved it. Amazing production and a storyline which really got me thinking. No man is worth setting yourself on fire for! Alls Well That Ends Well, a trip to see the Tiger Lillies and a comedy charity night (Orangaid) lined up in the next few weeks.
That’s about it for now. If you made it this far… hope all is well your side of the blogosphere!
