Don't give up the fight
Ever since he started the Feminist storyline, I've been waiting for Sinfest to fuck it up. He managed to do it, finally, with his anti-porn chapter. I knew it was only a matter of time when a Dworkin book appeared in the strip. Sigh.
I believe I'll have a working prototype of Sherlock by the time I go to bed tonight. I'm making the prototype a shorter coat so as not to waste quite so much (more) fabric. Also, with luck it'll be a useable garment and I don't need two greatcoats. I think/hope the short version will work as a funky dress jacket. (Update: Right before cutting the sleeve of the prototype, I decided again to revise the way I'm doing the cuff. HA HA HA HA HA *headdesk*)
Want some Avengers stuff that isn't fanfic? Reviews, meta analysis, and a fanvid can be found here. If you don't do anything else there, check out the fanvid. So! Great!
I've been getting six to seven hours of sleep per night lately. YAY! I've been scared to mention it, but I'm hoping it's now A Thing and I won't slip back into those three- and four-hour nights for a while. I haven't had an eight-hour night since March, though, and that's sort of a pity. I bet if I was getting eight hours I'd be seeing more improvement from my CrossFit efforts.
Speaking of improvement, my swelling issues are dramatically decreased. I only swell between one or two inches after eating. Usually less than two inches. Such a relief! The only thing I changed since this time last month is exercise. So either it's coincidence (entirely possible) or increasing physical activity improved my digestive system. Now that the G.I. stuff seems to be under a bit more control, I'm going to try a weekly fast. I'd hoped to start that this month, but it'll be easier to start in June when I've got less going on. I picked Monday as my fasting day since it'll give my body a chance to chill out after any weekend indulgences (read: Binge Drinking).
Lately, in addition to CrossFitting nearly every MWF (I missed last Friday because of my knee), I'm making an effort to stand up and walk around at least once an hour during the workday. The proof of the dangers of sitting for hours on end is becoming harder to ignore. Daily exercise can't counterbalance the damage of sitting for so long every day. So. At least once an hour I get up and move around a bit. If I have time, I do a quick jaunt around the inside perimeter of the building. I call this "walking around the block" and if you know/knew the building where I worked, this would make total sense to you. Once a day, I climb the stairs (four flights).
