I'm doing 33 things
that does fasciatherapy! Apparently it’s very painful. I nearly laughed in the doctor’s face when he told me that. What’s a short burst of agony compared to…what’s it been now, a year?....of never-ending foot pain. Please doc. Bring it. I laughed once I was safe at home, then I cried with relief.

How I did it
It made me
feel in control 
How I did it: This goal was a corollary of my 'stop trying' goal that I have already written about, so I won't repeat anything I wrote there even though much of it is relevant.This goal is specifically about setting a boundary with a difficult person - once - and then following through with the consequence I had set.One problem I had was that I often couldn't remember whether I had formally set a boundary or not. So I took to writing the boundary and i… Read how I did it…
It made me
feel in control
How I did it: Trying behaviours that I wanted to stop included explaining my feelings more than once, explaining my feelings at all in situations where that should not have been necessary, and putting more energy and positivity into a conversation than he did.It was easier to stop explaining my feelings after I worked on freeing myself from self doubt. I began that process by acting and thinking as though absolutely every emotion that I felt had alread… Read how I did it…
It made me
bored out of my mind 
How I did it: I only finished this through sheer force of will. I can hardly believe this was written by the same man who wrote Treasure Island!At least it perked up a bit when reading Lanyon's and Jekyll's own accounts of what went on.The wikipedia article says the whole thing was written in a matter of days while he was laid up sick in bed.Yes. Well, it shows. Read how I did it…

book I’ve ever read that I did not understand. I sensed there was a lot going on in it, but it was all swirling about beneath the surface, just out of my reach. I’m going to have to read up on it or get some help somewhere. It’s an interesting experience to come across something that evades my analytical skills. I can’t help thinking that’s precisely what Conrad was aiming for. I felt I was brought up against some massive force as incomprehensible and dark as the wilderness he describes.
Keep injuring myself. But never mind that. Let’s focus on the future.
I’m starting a new walking program today and forcing myself to take the plantar fasciitis into account. What this means practically is probably that I will try to keep my walks down to fifteen minutes and fail miserably because I seem to be born to push. So for this program I’m going with someone who will simply turn me around and head me back home at the appropriate time. Because I just can’t be trusted with myself anymore.
