Today, I checked how many times I drove to work in the last 3 months and I’m very happy with the results. 
I drove 10 times in October, 7 times in November and 5 times in December. I knew it wouldn’t be many but didn’t expect to be so few. Mind you, I work only 20 days a month but that’s less than half times so I’m very happy with my progress.
Because there were heaps of presents I had to get (for Christmas and birthdays) in December, I decided that I should ride to work more often to save parking fees. The weather was pretty good in December for riding. I’m proud of myself for making that decision. 
Even though I did well in saving parking fee, I did overspend on presents. So this month I will try to keep up the good work but today was terrible. 
The temperature dropped from 26ºC (yesterday) to just 18ºC today. This morning was freezing! It was only 13ºC when I left for work at 7am, and it was windy as… Let’s hope tomorrow is going to be warmer to ride.
I went to the Chinese doctor today to get my regular acupuncture treatment to my right knee. Last week I talked to him about the MRI and scans I did last year, and he was interested to see the films and reports. So today I took them to him. He told me when I was leaving that he had a quick look at the MRI, and he thinks there might be a scar left from a prolonged untreated patella tendon injury. He didn’t want to worry me too much so he said he would take a closer look and talk to me next time I go in. Let’s hope whatever he finds in the MRI isn’t going to be hard to fix. 
I have a feeling that whatever it is, this knee is going to be a hard-fix. Today’s weather didn’t help the recovery one bit. My knee feels so uncomfortable from the cold. On top of it, the weekend before, I helped my stepdad to fix up his bluray that I have overused the patella (for squatting and getting up from the floor). This is bad. I was going to start swimming more and also maybe start doing some light hitting (tennis). This is going to hinder the recovery. This is probably why I have been pretty stressed lately and I couldn’t quite sleep well every night.
I’m going to try to get some sleep early tonight so will keep this short. ‘Night! :sleep:
