Title - Another Groundhog Day Almost Complete!
What is significant about today??? Well, it's Tuesday, December 21st, 2010. This being the actual first day of winter and also the 3 1/2 month point of my deployment to the desert! :) I have been doing mostly the same things in what has become a rather rigid routine, especially for me, Mr. Spontaneity. I am not much of a person for planning... routines... etc. I prefer to add several "spur of the moment" type things into my days. Here, however, it's tough to do, and those things tend to cause stress rather than help. I mean... if I didn't stick to a certain workout time each day I would probably end up not going at all. So, that makes the routine a necessity for that to happen! I would be lost without knowing that at 11:30-12:00 I was going to go get lunch on Monday afternoon... or that come 8 o'clock on Sunday evening I would be going to Skype with Anne Marie for an hour or so. Those parts of the routine help me get through my days, and for some odd reason they seem to make them pass by that much faster!!!
Title -- Down in the dumps...
Happy New Year everyone... and this is how I feel today, the 2nd day of 2011... BLAH! I've been in pain with this thing on the back of my neck/head for over a week now (4 days since I had it sliced and diced). So... ironically enough this is the 4th day of not working out, and that's depressing me in a major way! If that's not bad enough in 20 minutes I have to go sit on scope for 6 hours. :( I had a terrible night of sleep... the worst in a very long time... I would say in YEARS even. The way I see it I may have gotten at the very most 2 hours of sleep total. I just kept tossing and turning... wincing in pain throughout the night. So now I'm extremely tired here... and the time for my shift is closing in fast. I don't know how I'm going to stay awake and/or focused today. I haven't been too effective yet that's for sure. I'm more like a zombie here today.
Overall, my day off was pretty decent, though. The only thing that sucks is this pain and infected thing that won't go away. I'm probably looking at a return trip to the doctor's office tomorrow afternoon after lunch, which in turn will make 5 consecutive days without a workout. If I feel like I do today... I surely won't be working out again tomorrow. I was thinking about doing a WALK on the treadmill possibly with some incline involved in order to do SOMETHING in the workout department. I'm just afraid of how the sweat will react with my "injured area" so to speak. That's my main concern... not letting any more germs in there than I have to if I can help it. It needs a chance to heal. Anyway, I did get a decent amount of walking in yesterday when I went to get my pizza at Ciano's. It was delicious, too!!!! :)
Ok... I hate to leave this unfinished... but it's time for me to go to work. I'll be back to write more later (I hope)... ***and I didn't write more "later" obviously***
See you all soon!
Peace, Love, and Poker
