Have been fairly crappy - hence the lack of LJ entries from me.
I suspect it is the lack of estrogen kicking in - or at least I hope this is the cause. I have been quite emotional and moody. My moods have been all over the place for the last few weeks and it has been difficult to explain how I have been feeling. It is exacerbated when I forget to take my efexor in the morning. If I am having a bad day then by late afternoon with the efexor I am ready to explode either into tears or with frustration. The hot flushes have intensified which makes life interesting at times. Try explaining to workmates why you are sweating like a pig and all you have done is sit at your desk in air-conditioned 21 C.
To make matters worse when I get to work I go into "work" mode and totally blow away how I am feeling, both emotionally and physically. It isn't until I leave work that it all comes out again. This must be making life unpleasant, at least, for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
saluqi. Sorry Sweetie!
I have finally made an appointment to see both my GP and our TCM practitioner. Hopefully they will be able to assist me in getting through/over this crap.
On a more positive note I started an advanced qigong class last Thursday and even tho' I haven't done a lot a of practice I seem to have improved my technique. The second and final class is this Thursday where we will be working on some different moves. I have to practise the leg move as this seems to be my weakest - which doesn't surprise me as I have really neglected my legs since damaging my shoulder.
On the dog training front training with Faxon is coming along - we still can't do a retrieve but the rest of our stuff is pretty good. We have comp day on Sunday so will see how we go. After watching some obedience competition over the weekend I feel a lot more confident that we can probably compete in the novice ring without feeling too embarrassed. :)
The Instructing seems to be going well. Teaching a class of very small dogs was a challenge but I feel that I met it and most of my class will be moving on to intermediate. I can't wait to see what I will be teaching next year.
