Today... randomly, I noticed that I NOW HAVE BABY MUSCLES. Like real hard muscles that pop out when I flex my arms hahah... love it so much! It hasn`t even been very long since I started strength training, nor have I been doing it very much. Twice a week really... and then poling when I have a chance. I worked out with Simon on Sunday and holy crap was that an insane workout. He really pushed me more than Greggory. Greggory was super anal about form (a great thing) but Simon actually figured out some excercises for me to do that force me into correct form just based on how the excercise is done. This way is much better because then it`s possible to use much more weight and push myself more knowing I am working the right muscles. It was so funny for this one machine, he started at 10 lbs each side. Nope I couldn't even make it budge. So then it was 7.5.. couldn't do that either. Finally I had the lowest setting of 2.5lbs per side and it was HARD. But I still did my two sets of 8-12. That excercise was craaazy! I was working my chest area.
We were at the gym together for a little over 1.5 hours working really hard. Today I am in crazy amounts of pain, and I slept through my alarm and ended up sleeping for almost 12 hours! So I know I had a productive workout. Even doing cardio afterwards like usual, I could hardly make it to 20 minutes. I was just done in the best possible way.
I just blanched a bunch of kale to eat. Dino kale is by far my favourite kind of kale... and I buy organic when I can, but hooooly fuck are there tons of spaces for nasty creatures to hide in there! I soaked in salt water first.. and out came VARIOUS TYPES of bugs. Also some I cut off the leaf as they were still lached on. Little spiders, slugs, aphids... that`s only what I saw too! A different me, 3 years ago, I threw out a whole head of broccoli when I saw a few aphids on it. But now I am eating this bowl of kale and writing about it online while I take another bite. Who is this girl?
Uhh yeah. So. Work is seriously pissing me the F off. My one job is just as charming as ever, as it will always be I am sure. However the other is driving me insane. It's one of the few things now that actually make me feel ENRAGED!@(*#& I have kindof been really firm with everyone about what I want. Like I don't have any patience for things like I used to. I am more productive but at the same time, I have tons more I need to do on a daily basis right now. It's pretty much my way or no way... except for in this one area of my life. Where I feel almost like I am taken advantage of because if I don't do what my boss wants I can easily get fired, and then I am totally fucked because I have absolutely nooo savings at all. At least not nearly enough for one months worth of rent. It is so frustrating and I really don't know what to do. I wish I could just get in and get out, do my job and leave. Not be involved in anything! I really don't give a damn if they are opening another location, my boss assumes I am just going to go work somewhere out of my way which I still have to break it to them that I can't... ugh. Spending my money on crap they want but I don't. I really don't share any enthusiasm AT ALL about them expanding. I couldn't give less of a shit I am (not) sorry to say.
Aw... my little baby kitten came and plopped down on my arm and proceeded to try and sleep like that. I slowly tried to pull my arm out and he grabbed it with both his teeny paws to keep my arm there heeehee. So adorable. I am in love. If I ever thought I was in love before I was clearly wrong because this right here is the real thing! Fully unconditional. He can shit all over my house at 3am before I have an exam the next morning and I can still adore him more than anything in the world! I would give up everything for him, pay for any kind of medical care, even if I had to move out I would do it. He has been there with me through so much and it's just so comforting to come home to see his adorable face every day. My favourite thing in the world is when I get comfy under the covers in bed and he runs and jumps up to settle into his spot on the pillow beside my head. Sometimes he ends up with his arms on my face or something and I have to move him aside and get into a better position. But the best thing of all is when the alarm goes off and I wake up, and he is soo adorably cuddly. He is always right there beside me in the morning sleeping beside me. Okay I am soo distracted because I think he wants to sleep and I can't type with a kitten on my arm. But the point is... I am obsessed. And kitten company is the best thing ever, I am sooo anti social these days, like I have never even been close to this before. I seriously don't know who I am. But I really don't mind it, in fact I like it, and I guess I have never been comfortable with myself and always needed the company of others constantly 24/7. Even my roomies would point out to me that if I wasn't out and about, or hanging with them, I would be on the phone with friends for hours every single day. But now I just am really comfy being alone and doing everything I do and having my kitten for companionship cause he's the best. I feel like most people are into things that I am simply not at all interested in anymore. I'm definitely not at the point where I will go eat alone in a restaurant though haha... that will never ever happen. Looking forward to working out at "the monkey vault" tomorrow for the first time :)
