:: ticked off

My To Do list is going really well -- sorted car insurance today, that just leaves the tax next week and the car's dealt with for another year. Went to the podiatrist and my orthotics will be arriving in the next few days.

Just now, I phoned easynet and they've increased the easyweb space to 10Mb and have said they'll look at increasing it to 15Mb once I've put an index page on the site. Which, duh, I couldn't do yesterday because I'd run out of room. I've got the page ready to run -- I updated all the web pages while waiting for the pictures to crawl through the phone wires.

Tomorrow I'll send the pages over and the last few photos, check that everything works, and that should be it, sorted, ticked off the list.

Next most urgent item on the list is the Nautilus website. Then ... oh yeah, I have to go into hospital.

I'm in at work early today because we had a union meeting at 2:30pm. I went home after the podiatrist, walked Bertie and went to the meeting; I hope he's ok being home alone for an extra couple of hours.

The podiatrist was interesting; she says she's not surprised I'm having aches and pains, considering the state of my feet. They're extremely flexible, apparently an inherent thing -- some people have more flexible joints than others. In feet it's a bad thing, it makes you unstable and prone to pronation. To complicate things, one foot is pronating differently from the other. The left foot is worst, so that's why there's more wear and tear on the joints in that leg, because the stress rotates the knee out and that impacts on the hips and pelvis.

The orthotics will straighten the feet out as they hit the ground, and therefore the knees and hips will also be straighter, rather than rotating outwards. Sounds good to me. I have to start out just wearing them an hour a day, increasing gradually until I'm wearing them all the time.
