September 8th. Sick.
I have been sick for about 5 days now, and I don’t know what is wrong with me!!! Some sort of cold or flu has been going around here in Reno, but I don’t feel like I have the flu, I just can’t stop sneezing!! I have had major head congestion and have been sneezing about 20 bagillion times a day, and I feel dehydrated and tired. So as a result, my workouts have suffered. I have been doing my cardio every morning, and have been trying to lift at night, but I have been very weak, and can’t lift as much weight or do as many sets or reps. Today is the 1st day that I haven’t sneezed yet, but I am still congested and groggy. I am going to try and eat a lot more in the hopes that it will get my strength up so that I can put forth a better effort in the gym. Also, my right shoulder has been KILLING me!!!! I’m not sure what I did to aggravate it, but it has hurt a lot when I was lifting, so I have been taking it easy on the right side. I think I sleep funny on that arm though, and I’m afraid that that is contributing to the problem. I need to learn to sleep on my back, or see a physical therapist or something!! If the pain persists, and is disrupting my workouts, then I will have to do something about it soon so that I’m not using it as an excuse.
The Rib Cook Off and the Reno Hot Air Balloon Races were this past week. Wow, it was quite an experience to go see the balloons being lit up and lifted off before dawn. I had a lot of fun going to both events, but wish that I had spent more time at each. They were both 4 day events and I only went to each once, so next year, if I am still here, I will be going every single day probably.
I haven’t gotten to see Mayah at all this week, which really sucks. I haven’t even been able to get ahold of them, I call every day and they don’t answer, so I am a little worried about her. I was hoping to take her with me to the Balloon Races, and I want to see her and hug her. I miss her a lot. Carolyn and I decided to stop hanging out, so it’s pretty weird to see her at the gym. I dunno if we are permanently ending our friendship, or if it is just temporary while she deals with her heartache over her ex, but I know that I will miss hanging out with her, she is a nice girl, and I hope she can find what she needs to be happy. I did make a new friend, Vanessa, who is absolutely hilarious!!! She cracks me up, and she is very nice, I think I am going to show her this site since she wants to lose 25 pounds, but needs motivation to work out and get herself into shape.
It’s less than 2 weeks till Mayah’s bday, and I have no idea what to get her!!! I think I’m gonna get her a hermit crab, cuz she keeps begging me for one. After her bday is over I am planning on driving over to visit Lindsay for a few days. I really want to see her and spend time with her, she is a very special girl and I need a hug dammit lol! Ok, time to go do something productive.
