Change of plans.

Today, I was going to head back to the gym.  But, my left leg has started to feel spongy just like my right leg, except in a different spot.    It’s getting to be kind of painful to walk any distance.   —  Guessing it’s pulled muscles from the 70+ km I did last week. —

A couple of days chilling is a good idea, but I didn’t want to be here.   It was my complaining that caused Jason to ask me to stay.   If he didn’t say anything, I would be on the elliptical right now watching Mob Psycho 100.

—–  Advertisement —  New season of Mob came out!!   I really enjoy that anime and started watching it from the beginning on Tuesday – the last day I went to the gym.   I wanted to finish the first season today and start on the next… but that’s not going to happen.   Well, won’t happen today, anyway.

Any reasonable person in my situation would be feeling pretty good.   I could imagine her firing up the PS and loading another game that’s on the ‘one-day playlist.’  But, not me.

I’ve caught up my grading and started to marinate some chicken for dinner.   It’s not even before noon and I’m already going a little stir crazy.   I’m thinking about tackling the yard again.    I don’t know how such a little postage stamp yard can be in disarray.   Seriously.  It’s not even a quarter of an acre, but I’ve already bagged up and hauled away at least 30 huge yard Hefty bags.    There’s still plenty to go.

Doing stuff like that probably isn’t the best for my muscles, right?

On the left side, I’ve pulled the muscle that’s right behind the kneecap.  It’s been spongy for a week.  On my left side, the front muscle from the knee down to the ankle hurts.  I still move, but it starts to ache after a couple of miles.   After that, it just hurts.   I plant somewhere and don’t move for an hour or so.

It’s stupid that I feel so limited and disappointed that my body can’t keep up with what my mind wants to do – watch Mob while doing cardio – but it’s equally stupid that I got myself into this position.  When my right leg started to hurt, I should have backed off a little bit so it could heal a bit.  But, nope, not me.

I have to keep pushing.   I have to show dominance over myself.  I am in command of myself.   And now myself is trying to wish the pain away.

And, what’s really really stupid is that Jason asked me to stay home.   Not so much because of the pain, but because we want to go out this weekend.   If I’m walking too slow, I probably won’t be that much fun.

So, here I sit like a self-induced twit.

If someone offered me a Ghost in the Shell body, I think I would take it — especially since this one just keeps getting more spongy as the years go by.  But, I’m trying.   I’m trying not to be spongy and round.  It’s an uphill battle.   Compliments welcome.

I’ve been attracted to 50 and 60 music lately.   Sometimes, I go on these binges and I’m not sure why.

Cause I want a girl to call my own… I want a dream lover so….

Okay, maybe not a girl but still, a dream lover wouldn’t be bad.

Maybe that’s what I’m doing.   Right now, I’m just dreaming while waiting for my ‘real life’ to start.

HEY – Dire Straights shouldn’t be considered a golden oldie, should it?
I’m not that old.   The Youtube guy must have made a mistake.

Stupid Cupid …..   That’s better.

When I went to IU, I knew a lawyer in the making who couldn’t get enough of Frank Sinatra.    I wonder whatever happened to him….

Anyways, I need to do something.   Hitting refresh waiting for assignments to come in is a bad, bad, bad behavior.  Sitting here wishing the faculty meeting would open today so I could kill it with fire.  Nope.   So, I’m going to sit here and obsess about it.

Nope. Nope. Nope.
The school is so vein… they probably think this song is about them don’t you don’t you…

I’m out of here.
It’s snowing up north.   As a born Hoosier, it’s my responsibility and duty to do something in the 75ish degree weather here.
