Today is a Meh
Thank you to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
royal_spice for the gorgeous bracelet! I love it! So so so pretty. The colors are perfect.
I might be catching a cold. Or my allergies are getting worse. I'm all stuffy and blah. Must see Mikell Adams tomorrow for an NMT booster treatment. I didn't sleep so great because of breathing issues (I'm really hoping for allergies here), so I'm kinda tired today. I hate feeling congested, and I really hate that raw, burning sensation inside my nose.
My workout this morning was tough. Apparently I need two rest days between upper body workouts, and not do every-other-day workouts. I was absolutely wiped by the time I wrapped up my side plank poses (they're the last item on the menu, and I do three reps, 40 seconds each side). I had that oh-god-I-can't-lift-myself-off-the-floor feeling, rather than the pleasantly-weak-noodly-arm sensation I enjoy after a good workout. I don't like it when my muscles refuse to do what I ask them. No, sir. Because the muscles were so limp, I popped my right shoulder in a nasty way while I was pulling off my sports bra. Ow. It still hurts, three hours later. Not good. Lesson learned: Two days off between upper body workouts, at least for the time being.
For this morning's trifecta, I discovered that one of my favorite dresses has a huge rip in the underarm. Alas, it's not on the seam. The fabric itself is shredded. I have no idea how that happened, since there's no stress at all on that part of the garment. It must have happened in the wash. Very sad. So I had to creep back upstairs and fumble around in the dark for alternate clothing. Which means I wound up wearing the jeans with the hole in the front of the thigh. To the office. Classy! But I didn't want to wakemckitterick too much. Who was already not sleeping well this morning. Poor guy!
Tomorrow I'm taking a vacation day for some Me Time. I'm going to do some costume repair, work in one or both of my journals (I haven't worked on either in two months!), and basically enjoy being left the hell alone. Except when I'm at the chiropractor. And the gym. And maybe an art show at BDC tattoo & piercing studio if I get home and shower quickly after my session with Trainer Chris D. Hm. So much for Alone Time.
I must shift my mood here. Let's see: I'm wearing my beautiful ammonite necklace. Z's had their Sumatra back in stock, so I'm sipping that right now. Carnitas are in the slow cooker for dinner tonight. Acupuncture and rolfing sessions are tonight. I'll be asleep in twelve hours.
Okay, for serious, my right shoulder is killing me. It hurts to lift my goddamn coffee cup. Thank god we're mostly working on shoulders tonight at rolfing. That will be awesome. No, really. Mmmm. Just thinking about getting this worked out in fewer than nine hours suddenly made my day much better. Mmmmmm. Deep tissue manipulation FTW!

Looking on the positive side, it's good when one's body can say what it is and isn't capable of doing in an effective and meaningful way. Without resulting in complete failure of function. =D
I'm pleased that my body and my brain are on good speaking terms.

Ooh, but great minds converge once again -- I took this Friday off as a me day, too. I am going to take the dog to get her nails clipped, but that is the only thing I am doing for another. I am going to set up my enameling kiln, vacuum and organize my private space (which is primarily intended to be an exercise/meditation room), and throw a whole lot of useless shit in the garbage without regard for anything or anyone (it's important for me to break this seal). I am also going to watch the season six premiere of Supernatural, because Jensen Ackles is insanely hot.
Not that he will ever take the place of my Manu.
May your You Friday be utterly splendid!

Hope you have a fabulous Friday, yourself. Mine started at 4:30 am! Good times!
I don't mind being up so early because it means I have everything all to myself, which is awesome. I just have to be quiet in my awesome

So sad about the dress, CR. And all the weather-related ickiness.
