Damn - injury re-confirmed. I hit the gym, and was unable to bench half (literally) what I could before this hit. That funny twingy feeling that made me lopsided when doing pushups made me almost unable to re-rack the bar...with my warm-up weight on it (quarters). Oh I cannot describe to thee howeth do this blow. Ize fawked up.

On the positive side, I could do back work and bicep stuff, but my triceps and all chest work is not possible. I'm beginning to hope they look at me and say "Oh, this BLANK is torn - you need minor surgery but it'll heal quick." I just want to know what is wrong, and be able to fix it. I miss my boob.

Oddly, I've lost TEN POUNDS. This isn't good loss, it's boobie loss I think. It turns out taht all this time I really was working hard in the gym, and eating all the time because I needed to!

sorry you've got the book issues. I'd say it would allow you to focus on your studies more and avoid "distraction" from the gym, but I realize the need to work-out when you're near (or maintianing) a physical goal state.

That said...I find stressing is the worst thing. The "hangover" post exam kills me - I have to budget in a few hours of Civ III, Diablo II, NWN or some-damn-sf-movie after an exam, major paper, or website to clear the head. As it is - I spent all day yesterday reading and writing , and only finished that paper at 11pm. Today's isn't done yet and I told myself I wouldn't go to Gold's unless it was finished.

Good luck - you'll gain the muscle tone and mass back after you heal. finding out what the issue is first is more important than those pesky "ten pounds". I did a number on my right should the first weekend of the month and having only come close to recovering sometime this week.

oops...meant to say "boob issues"; typing "book" has become second nature of late.

I do have book issues! I saw Civ III and was thinking Civil Procedure...eh, I should rest but my debate then becomes if I should rest by going out to chairschool. If I go out and relax that way, I'll lose this really good internal dialogue I have going right now. Isolation is not just a study strat, but an exam prep one. When the VOICES IN MY HEAD are all I hear, I can converse back and forth in such a way that the exam is easier. /twitch

no...nothing to twitch about.
I thought - briefly - about Chiaroscuro this evening, then about a friend's bday drinks-thing, then about my budget and last about the work still ahead of me. I am trying to knot my argument together, still, right now but just can't get it to gel.

So - no club or anything else this evening because it will break the idea-flow. The advantage you have - you live alone so you can keep the other voices only your own.
