It's a paper plane with wings made out of seagull feathers. Very classy ;P
Ya'll talking about being sick and I feel ike I've been in bed for like a day since I left haha. It's hard to get used to someone else's schedule. I'm all out of whack. I barely managed to do some mobility crap this morning. But I have all these bodyweight workouts I can do, not going to be a blob all day!
Maybe a few more minutes or hours, though...

Awesome! It also makes you care less about being sick once you get there.0 -
Glad I don't get sick often. Two coworkers were sick recently, ones that tend to call in once every couple of months or more. We work in a place that is focused around the pharmacy part of the store, so tend to do things like handle money from sick people. But I rarely get sick. *shrugs*
It's nice to have this group to chat on and for accountability. I also post when I work out on a writing group on sparkpeople.com for accountability but the only one who posts as well is in her 80's, which is fine but she doesn't always understand things. Like she makes comments about how you could get big bones from lifting and calls squats "squarts". She tries and is in physical therapy so her idea of weights are based off things from that. Good to post cause I know if I don't someone will wonder why I stopped posting but limited in the help and understanding when I say things about OHP or bench failing.
Glad to have a rest day. New class with squats and such combined with 8 hour shift last night has me a bit tired. Plus having to move around crates of milk didn't help. The vendor keeps placing the stacks by the freezer door and not the actual spot for the milk so then I have to pull the tall stack closer to put it away. One was too tall and heavy to pull so I had to get one down, using my chest to help support the weight of 6 gallons of milk cause I was too lazy to use the stepstool to get some of them out of the crate first. More lifting tomorrow.0 -
I **KNEW** IT! I'm totally sending this to everyone I know who scoffed at my theory.

in related news, i don't seem to be actually sick. touch wood. crabada, are you better yet?0

I'm so glad you're not sick! And I'm definitely on the upswing. Lungs are a little crabby and I still have that 1/2 stuffy head, but I'm not dragging quite as much as I was. Thanks for checking in. xo0

*announcement* dawn embers has the cutest avatar going right now.0

Not on topic, but I got a deep tissue massage yesterday. It was soooo nice. Really intense at times but I feel like she freed up stuff that's been tight for a long time. My legs especially feel much more, well, functional today than they have in a while. I'm looking forward to my next lifting day to see if holding my form is easier on the squats. Unfortunately I have to work both days this weekend, so that might not be until next week.
Have a good weekend everyone!0 -
@crabada I'm so glad you got my Christmas card!0

Aww thanks. I used to have dwarf hamsters years ago and they are so little and fluffy, decided a picture of one would work for now so I can at least have something there.0 -

oy. i'm taking this worksite-massages thing for all i can get, but i have to admit that in some ways i regret the good ol' days where everything was wound up so tight i couldn't feel a thing. it makes me wonder if everyone is the kind of high-functioning mess that i'm starting to see myself as, or if i'm just an especially horrible case.
i'll mention though, that if i ever do get repulsively rich, i know what i'm going to do. i'm going to hire me as many massage therapists as it takes, and get them to just keep working on me in rotating squads, until something gives way. 24 hours ought to about do the trick. i'll nap in between times, and someone can crouch underneath the face-pad part and hold up a protein shake with a straw in it for me to drink from.
i mean, just logical curiosity here. surely, if you knew what you were doing and you kept it up FOREVER, something would have to let go. it's the same principle as the thousand monkeys and the thousand typewriters, right?0 -
Dips on the protein shake job. You'll be repulsively rich, so you won't mind the six figure salary I'll require.0

i had biceps like (little) baseballs this morning, and doms to the max. don't know what i did yesterday, but this took me by surprise.
i kind of like it. is that weird?0 -

i love how you think.
sigh. having a discouraging 'conversation' right now with a young touchy guy friend. you can't tell him anything purely for interest or human-nature or entertainment purposes, because everything that you say is grist for some 'here's the solution to that' type of comeback.
SIGH. he's not even being condescending - i know that much. it's just the way his mind works. i know he does it, he knows i dislike it, i said i don't mind you having a mind that works in that way and i'm not trying to stop you from doing it. but just fyi the side-effect is i avoid people who never do anything else. or i just quit handing out information to them.
now he's wounded, in spite of an explanation about all the reasons for that. guess he'll thank me someday, however . . . because i suspect he's mostly wounded because now he's running his entire social life under review and starting to see certain reasons for certain patterns.

I have a young touchy friend who has no solutions and wants to hear nothing about possible solutions. His comebacks are always "And here's why that won't work." It's exhausting, but also makes me sad -- he's so obviously depressed and in need of some direction, but just won't hear anything that might point him towards moving forward.
Le sigh.0 -

we should introduce our two friends to each other and then you and me should just leave them to it and go out for a beer.
the whole problem about being depressed is it makes you stubborn. you might not have much, but you have your form of 'reality', which really is real to you. so you tend to fight anyone who comes along being Optimistic and tries to deprive you of it.
far too many of the people i like well enough to develop real friendships with them seem to be depression-prone, so i kind of know how it ain't easy being the undepressed one sometimes.

oh and btw. never have i ever heard anyone say aboot except mayyyyyyyyybe a few maritimers. i think it's an easterner thing if it's even a truth.
in other news, i'm laughing at this. i went to the enviro-can website for my city, and they often have a 'warning' banner across the page for unusual or extreme weather, like 'wind warning' 'rainfall warning' etc etc. this time i just get 'special weather warning in effect'.
of course you can click through to the detailed info [hello studded ice-tires and several layers of clothes], but the first impression that makes is enjoyable. like, what kind of special weather? hail? mud? frogs?0 -

The closest to aboot I've heard is the toronto accent which turns every "out" syllables into "oaut" (So it's a boat, but with a weird u lisp before the t). It's aboat time you got oat, mayte!
