Silverthorne

Struggling with the old procrastination switch, which seems to be stuck in 'on' mode.

As in, in 15 minutes, I need to be at class.

As in, my mind is whispering foul lies in my ears about how I really don't have to go.

...

Screw you, brain. I paid for it. I like it. I already have the pants and shoes on. I'm going.

...if I can crowbar myself out of this damned chair.

It's that they tend to drain me of energy for anything else once I get off work, especially on super-busy days where I end up working from 6am til 3:45 pm. And today was one of those days.

I took a bath when I came home, resisted the urge to take a nap (because lately that means I'm down until at least 7), and ate a steak and some strawberries (I'm saving the veggie part of dinner until after class since I'll likely be hungry. I know I was last time, and the more light weight but filling an 8 o'clock meal is, the better.).

I was all psyched for class this morning. Now I'm just kinda tired and 'blah' and really just want to park myself in front of the tube with vid-game controller in hand.

Still, doing stretches (even though I can't remember some of the ones Master Lee showed me, I'm doing the ones I do remember. Figure it can't hurt if I do them twice in one night, right?) in an effort to motivate myself. It's sort of working, but part of me is still just 'bleh'. I know myself well enough though that as long as I get dressed and shove myself out the door at class time, it'll be all right. Of course, until then? Bleh.

Although it was the weirdest feeling in the world to wake up, start to roll over, and have a bunch of bones, from arms to hips, and spine to feet, start cracking. O.o

Still, not really all that sore other in the usual 'damn you worked hard yesterday' way. Well, okay, my left butt-cheek has issues, but then it usually does--that side, including the muscles connected to the lower back, has been stiff from years of mis-use by way of weight and bad sitting habits.

But even that bit of pain seems to be more along the line of 'Don't mind us, boss, we're just realigning' as opposed to 'OMG I'm crippled and can't move!!!', so I'll take it.

Actually, my walking gait is a lot looser today and smoother. And I'm even standing up better :)

'Course, I say all that now. It's usually the day after the day after that gets you, after all.

You know, the same day I go back to class for round two. *g*

Tried on my gi for the first time after washing it in prep for tomorrow's class.

...If I have any co-students who are familiar with the Lupin series...

Well, let's just say I won't be surprised if my nickname ends up being 'Fujiko'. ^^;
