So, what news to share of my weekend? Friday night, I went out to see two of my favorite bands (who also happen to be some of my favorite people). Music was great, ran into several people I know (all either in other bands, or promoters), and I even talked quite a bit, despite my not drinking (still haven't this month). Unfortunately, it was still pretty awkward for me, and I'm not sure I'll ever get used to that, or ever become more comfortable with social interactions. Anyway, only stayed out until 12:30a, because of training Saturday morning.
Training went pretty well on Saturday (well, except for the Yoke walk). I got a lot of compliments on my overhead pressing from SC (the guy who's place it is), and hit a PR for strict pressing. I had a little trouble with the Yoke walk though - warm up was fine, but when I got to 500#, I could only make one lap down; when I turned and picked it up for the return trip, I felt a nerve "tingle" just below my right shoulder blade. As I've been having alignment issues this past week, I just called it a day on that exercise. I did do a pick @ 600#, but it wasn't smart to go any further. Closed out the day with some ab work. It was really tough to get out tot he garage tonight - I was sitting on the futon after having dressed for the garage, and I almost fell asleep! Took me 15 minutes to finally talk myself into going out & at least getting started. As it turns out, I had a really good night tonight too! PRs on incline and decline bench, and felt really strong. It's funny how on the nights I feel well, things don't go as smoothly, but when it's hard to even get started, things go great! I think the supplements are working (even though my sleep is still somewhat messed up) because I'm really starting to see some mass in my upper body. Of course, it could simply be the fact that I've been fairly consistent with lifting for several months now!? Either way, I'm pretty happy with it. The only thing that concerns me is that I'm spending almost 2 hrs a night, five days a week, working out & getting cleaned up after. While this isn't a problem now, if I ever meet someone (HA! I made a funny!), I'm concerned that I won't have that kind of time any more, and I'll fall back into my old, slovenly ways. Hopefully I can find someone who's as into fitness as I am. (HA! I made another funny - like I'm gonna meet someone. Ok, it was the same joke, but it's still funny. Ok, it's not funny, but it's... Meh, nevermind!) ;-)
Last night, after Viv having tried to arrange for us to meet up for the last month or so, we finally got a chance to hang out. I didn't really want to, as on top of a bunch of other things, she's a few months pregnant & that makes me uncomfortable (yes, I have issues). It went well, we sat at the Dog & talked about basic stuff for maybe 1.5-2 hrs, then went home. I don't have the energy to get into everything we said, so I'll leave it at that.
My ma & g'ma took me out for a b-day brunch today. It was sweet of them to do, but unnecessary (and honestly, a bit unwelcome) but it makes them feel good, so I do it for them. I don't celebrate my b-day, and I typically don't even tell people about it. They got me a few cute cards, and my ma bought me a crockpot. *rollseyes* This is one of the things that annoys me about my ma. I've told her for years that I don't want gifts, please don't buy me anything, for x-mas, my b-day, anything. It's such a long-standing thing that we joke about it, yet she ignores my request & does it anyway. Ugh. Anyway, I've got to return it, and I'm going to use the money to pay for their meals next time we all go out.
Haven't heard from CC since... x-mas? Wrote her a couple short emails, just to check in, but so far, no reply. She wrote me when visiting her parents for the holiday, saying that she was thinking of me, so I'm a bit confused by this. She did mention that she might be running into an old friend between which there's some drama, so maybe she's really distressed/depressed after a run-in? (They didn't part amicably, from what she said). Part of me hopes that she's not contacting me because she's bummed out about something that happened during her trip. On the other hand, I really don't wish any bad emotional issues on anyone, so from that standpoint, I almost hope it's something about me, if that makes sense...
Ok, too much writing, time for bed. Cold, empty bed.
*Sigh*
p.s. Thanks for the b-day wishes! Now; "forget what you've seen here - these are not the droids you're looking for"...
