Last Day of June ... err, i mean July!

My monthly update ... hopefully the first of many!

Health-wise i've improved steadily, but still experiencing symptoms of the anxiety disorder. Hopefully it will just take time. The most important thing is being able to manage stress and anxiety, as it is impossible to avoid it totally. Work has been pretty hectic and is about to get more stressful. I've managed so far ... fingers crossed.

Family news ... My nephew Tim celebrated his 18th birthday! Hope it was a good one mate. My brother Neville also notched up another year. Kerri's father underwent some pretty serious surgery, however he looked pretty fit when we saw him over the weekend, and i reckon it won't be long until he's back riding insane kilometres on the bike and enjoying his tennis. Finally, as i mentioned in earlier posts, my sister Cheryl is in Helsinki preparing for the World Championships. Her race is less than a week away! Cheryl, enjoy your final week of preparation. We are all looking forward to the race!

On the personal sport scene, i've been avoiding competitive sport, as it doesn't help with the anxiety, however i still manage a couple of social soccer games a week during lunchtimes at work. I find a regular run relieves stress and tension that might be building up. I found out my mate Scott was heading out onto the tennis court this weekend, so Kerri and i also went out for a hit today up at Redhead. Since i might be heading down to Melbourne soon, i better have my game in order! Oh, and the Panthers finished with a good win after falling out of contention for the semi's.

Music-wise, since we went to the Finn Brothers concert a couple of weeks back their album has made it back on my play-list. Sensational album. I made a pretty good purchase with the Foo Fighters "In Your Honor", however i must find time to listen to the louder of the two disc's, as the Kerri-friendly songs have dominated the airwaves. Retro-wise i've been listening to The Sharp's "Sonic Tripod". I still can't understand why this album flopped, i reckon it's far superior to their first release.

As i mentioned, work is going to be pretty busy in the coming month, and i might be finding myself in Melbourne quite a bit. It might be time to invest in some gloves!

Hope the month of July was a good one for you.

Glad your recovery is continuing mate. Do whatever you need to do to keep that stress out of your life! And here's one less thing to stress over... due to my injury (see my blog) I'm currently not playing tennis! So you're guaranteed to win now! :P

Gloves would be a good idea too... it's like 12 degrees down here today. *shiver*
