DVT DAY 71
I wake up stiff from yesterday’s gardening and look to have a quick breakfast and get on with my day. Before I have a chance to eat two people turn up to collect the surplus weights bench, no receipt but I take photographs of them disappearing with the parcel.
So breakfast done I head for the shed and set up for the morning coming face to face with our local squirrel, who I had not seen for some time. Once in my shed I set to and write letters all morning, stopping only to open my post. Surprise surprise the tax man wants me to submit my tax return as soon as possible. This years return is going to be grim reading given the crap year I’ve had, at least the accounts will not take long. All I haver to do is dig out my portal details and wait for my P60s to turn up.
Lunch is taken on the patio with my partner and eldest daughter and we chat about how we are faring. So far it’s okay but getting boring and there is a pressure to keep finding new things to stimulate us.
Lunch over I have a rest and sort out my training gear and get ready for my walk. I walk my garden for an hour and twelve minutes. As usual I get my 10,000 step congratulations. I grab a cup of coffee and review a yoga video that a good friend sent me. It looked doable so I stick it in my favourites and go upstairs and set myself up. Of course, being the household we are there is a yoga mat to hand. So, I rollout the mat, set the notebook running and get ready to start. Off we go and it’s a straight forward siting position and it is instantly clear that I am stiff and my joints have seized beyond where I thought I was. So this was going to be demanding but I am not stupid, I know a 71 year old with cancer in the spine is not going to be bendy like Bambi but on the other hand I cannot wrap myself up in cotton wool and become a bent up excuse of an adult. I know my limits and I like myself so what will happen is my best approximation. Actually keeping a straight back is tricky, not when I sit upright but when I lay down. Starting out then was an effort just to sit cross legged and breath. So having established what I could manage I pressed on. Pleasingly things got much better and by the time I had breathed a few times and downward dogged I got into the rhythm. The crunch came when I was supposed to roll my weight on the outside of one foot and turn my hips to the floor. Nope that was not going to happen, but it will in the weeks to come. I catch with Adriene, the tutor, in the next move and continue in my best approximation till the end of the tape, I even manage the happy baby posture after a fashion. I was far far away like Donkey in Shrek a lot of the time but there was nothing that is not attainable given time. I felt better for doing it. What was disconcerting was the tendency of the mat to ruckle up leaving my toes to slip on the carpet whilst I was downward dogging. I will know next time.
Time to close the shed for the day and having finished I went and sat on the garden swing seat with my eldest daughter. We chatted for a while until my partner appeared and we all decided it was time to get inside and get the evening under way. For me that means beginning the blog and checking the afternoon windows. We eat dinner and prepared for this evenings TV which will be Grayson Perry’s Art Club followed by Ordinary People. Fun followed by intensity, I will see how I last as I’ve got the urge to rummage through my art materials and see what I can put together. I think I am inspired by the things that people have sent or given to me.
As I have no obvious artistic talent I am intrigued to see what if anything I end up producing. I have of course got a growing “to do” list, mostly to do with the garden, enabling environments, life admin and running a LAN to the shed, but I think I am beginning to relax into a pastime mode and dump the urge to be productive, maybe its being institutionalised by “Shielding”.
