2412 Saturday, April 16th - evening

18:21… I've got the Fitbit on the charger already, the Jets/Lightning game is on, I reached 10/10 and I gutted it out and made it to 25k.  I didn't think I was going to get there today, but it was feeling good today, so I went right after it.  There were some good stretches, getting some Zone minutes at the same time.


I sent Bipasha the screenshot and I said to her that my body was tired and I wanted to skip the last two weeks.  She wrote to ask why, but she didn't push too hard.


X-Men: Apocalypse was pretty darn good.  I think there were some great elements to it.  After I finished that, I watched some more Sunny, a few more episodes there.  All of which was a good distraction from the Bosu Ball steps.


Jeremy was here at 15:53 and he got right to work.  He had a plan to do a chicken breast with Tikka Masala sauce with an extra kick to it.  He was very successful with his plan and it was really good.


I totally forgot to get Jeremy to help me with the brace.  I have set a reminder for tomorrow to help me remember.


19:11… I have switched pillows on the couch, electing to move away from the black neck pillow and go with the long blue pillow that has been in my bedroom.  I might look at buying another long blue pillow, because it's immediately feeling better on my neck.


20:00… I did hear from Bipasha again and she was okay with my decision to stop with the second challenge.  “Keep it easy, be happy,” she said and I was pretty happy to read that.  I didn’t think she was going to push back, but it was just comforting to know for sure.


20:29… I’ve got Sunny on again.

20:58… as you may have guessed, I'm in bed.  Two more episodes of Sunny in the books and that was enough for my body.  I don't think there was much more to the story tonight.


One thing did cross my mind tonight… it's not really surprising how people move on nowadays.  I know that I have been bad for that exact thing on a number of occasions, so it's not an outright criticism, it's just when you realize that it is happening to you.  


I mean when you're stuck in the hospital and your misfortune is still a thing that people can latch on to and make themselves feel better about checking in on you.  Yeah, I can understand that.  It's just when you're back to being okay and living, albeit in a less-than-normal way, it's not nearly fashionable enough to check in.  


Yeah, I probably would have done the same thing if I was still going at my regular pace.  My life would be going at a fair clip and if my unfortunate friend didn't have a whole lot for me, I probably wouldn't stop by either.


With all of that being said, I don't hate the quiet life.  As much as I wouldn't be miserable if there were more social activities, I'd probably get awfully tired if there were too many.  It's a fine balance and worth writing down.


21:21… well, I think it's going to be some more Word Craze now.
