up by 5am; coffee/music/icing achilles till 6:30am and then to work by 7am. Work till 12:00pm and then lunch at shop (food/more icing of achilles) till 1pm. Left work around 3pm to pick up coffee at Walmart and back to work by 3:30pm. Work till 4pm and then home by 5pm for evening (TV/internet/games and more icing of Achilles). Crash by  11pm.

Major Achilles tendonitis of late ... running too much with not enough breaking, I'd guess ... from what I've read, it's fairly common and never really goes away. Consistent icing and rest is supposed to be the most beneficial. The icing process, oddly, is really fucking painful ... *REALLY* fucking painful ... pulling teeth without anesthetic ... but only for about 10 minutes as the tissue returns to normal body temperature and after removing ice, then it feels *REALLY* good ... and so I continue.
