Wed 11 Dec

The golden Kiwi girl is no more. Got my hair put back to its normal color yesterday. Also woke up more easily at the normal time today, even though I really didn't sleep very well. I was up and down all night, using the toilet, adjusting medication, drinking water. Oddly, I don't feel overly tired today. I did keep the muscle soreness at bay with Ibuprofen so I should be able to go to Body Pump no sorer than I was on Monday. Made it through 15 min of treadmill and Body Pump. Still not feeling wholly normal, but better. Someone pointed out that NZ experienced a volcanic eruption shortly after we left, and Notre Dame burned a couple weeks after we left Paris. Disturbing trend. It was nice that Annie Glinski Leahy came running after me on the way into gym to say how glad she was to see I returned safely since she knew I was there around the time of the volcano and she had worried.
