the end of mango season

aussie, food, Health, summer

Another summer of homegrown goodness, and it’s all come to its inevitable end. No more mangoes. All gone. The last few have been chopped up for one last day of snacking but the rest must be frozen for posterity. Cryogenic mango will save the day in the months to come. – the trick is to use them wisely.

Meltdown

bully, depression, Health, think

I had a meltdown at work today. I could see it happening. I could certainly feel it happening. But my head wouldn’t stop it happening. I don’t think I made too big a goose of myself. Too bad if I did.

I went from being pissed off at what I perceive as indirect bullying, through feverishly researching the procedures for making a formal complaint and eventually ending up (5 hours & a few tears in the bathroom later) at giving up completely. The environment at work will never change and, for my own health, I will spend my time finding another job.

It takes me sooooo long to get to the point of not letting it affect me. I wish I could work out a quicker way to “rise above” and not take things so personally. Haven’t got there yet.

Is there a trick to it? Not caring? Walking away? Chucking a sickie?

For now, it is putting together some flat pack furniture, a dinner of vegemite on toast and a gastrolyte ice block, two more panadol and bed.

every little helps in getting healthy

balance, food, Health

I’ve been feeling under the weather for a while now.  Just when I think I’ve got the dreaded lurgy licked, it’s back with a vengeance.  Given the fab fruit coming into season in the Aussie summer now – this bug has no chance!  Fresh juice to drink, use to do my soaked muesli, add to yoghurt and glasses of water to keep hydrated.  I’ve got vitamin c coming out the wazoo at the moment.

i am not my work

Health, stress, Work

So, work is a changing with a lot of decisions being made that both my workmates and I will feel the effects of down the track.  There’s a bit of stress involved in having my work changed – there’s some fear that I have to trust the bosses are making informed choices based on the facts – not guesswork or ignorance.   Feelings of disappointment comes from the fact that there’s not much praise around for doing my work.  So when it changes I need to be very clear that it’s not because it was done badly or that I failed – although there’s an element of that bias being implied from some unsavoury personalities.  For my part, I’m trying to not be precious about what I do.  I know I work hard, I know I know my work and how it gets done best.  I know there will be inefficiencies created in the change and I’ll have to work them out.  Cleaning up after dumb moves is a recurring theme in my work life 😦 And the pessimist in me knows the changes will be made whether they are the best way to do things or not.  I don’t have a say.  The hardest thing is to keep in mind that the buck doesn’t stop with me.  And I can only do my best with what I’m given.

market day

community, Health, nature

Wednesday is market day in Brisbane City – Reddacliff Place next to the “lego block building” that houses the Brisbane City Council allow farmers markets to set up.  It’s an interesting mix of stalls – a lot focused on the single/professionals living in the inner city.  Not sure it’s “straight from the farm” prices, but it’s a nice wander through of a lunch hour. $2 for a macaron, $5 for a bunch of gerberas, $4 for a large bag of lollies and fresh honey, fruit, vege and herbs.

look after yourself, dummy

Quite a bit of synchronicity around at the moment. All of it is pointing to the need to start looking after myself. No-one else is going to do it for me, right? Reminders are coming through the lives of friends and family, workmates too. Slow down. Nothing, NOTHING, is more important than health. Not a half hour of flex time being saved, not getting the early bus, not “doing everything that needs doing”.

I think that’s the lesson for me. The only person who sets the rules that start with “I have to…” is me. I can let things go – but I should never let go me. My time to stop, rest, sleep, eat properly and exercise is not less important.

This is not a resolution. This is living. A good life begins with good health. Step 1 – be clear and honest about where I am starting from. Doctor’s insights – check. The way forward – check. Let’s begin…
