I know we can make it if we take it slow

Over half-way over, actually. JFC.

I think I might be getting depressed again. In an attempt to counteract that with some adrenaline tonight, I'm doing this at home:

Double-under practice, followed by 100 single jumps for warm-up

WOD:
50 air squats
40 mountain climbers
30 situps
20 push-ups
10 sprawls

I got another bill from Peak Performance (my useless physical therapist's office) for another $54 for a visit back in January. I'm still $277 behind in payments, and can only afford to pay one $50 payment a month right now. If this keeps up, I'll never get this thing paid off.

Happy-making: I got to see theoneinblue who was in town for a couple hours. Afterward, I checked Half-Price Books clearance CD rack last night and found three CDs by The Killers. So yay for seeing good friends and picking up some new music.

I saw that [same type of] .gif on a tumbler a few days ago and was totally all "wait.. what?" about it. HALF OVER. JFC is right.

that's looks like a good solution to depression!

Really frustrating to still get bills for useless services. :(

I always experience a mood dip after the solstice. My preoccupation with the CSSF summer activities kept me from paying too much attention this year. So now I've got my usual sadness over the summer being almost over, coupled with postpartum depression from the conference stuff.

I need a good party. Got one coming up on Friday. I hope there'll be dancing.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

YES on both counts. The amount I'll wind up paying them would've covered four months of Crossfit, which has done me more good in half the time. HRMPH. HRMPH I SAY.

Glad you ended up having a good evening yesterday! I am inspired to go purchase a jumprope now.

If you hadn't canceled, I wouldn't have been able to go see her. Her plans changed at the last minute and she didn't announce that she'd be in town until 3:00 yesterday afternoon. I haven't seen her in three years, so it was very nice.

[msmitti.livejournal.com]

yea for any and all happy making activities! I feel you on so many of these challenges. Sending happy vibes your way. :)

As for dancing, do it anyway!

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Ha! Well, I don't know that the band that's gonna be playing is very danceable. I don't know that they don't play danceable music, but from what I know of the guy portion of the band, he's very into the punk stuff. Soo....

[amjhawk.livejournal.com]

Yeah, mountain climbers!

Uph. I still have not-so-fond memories of doing those when a teammate was late to off-season or something. On a day where we were warming up with dummy jumps, did squats in the weightroom, then wrapped up by jumping bleachers and then running around dragging railroad ties, I was not happy...

...and now, I miss that. Go figure.

Humans forget pain. Trufax.

[alryssa.livejournal.com]

ugh, depression

KILL IT WITH FIRE

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

It's just so damn SNEAKY. I'm fine, and then all of a sudden I'm all


The exercise really helped last night, though. I'm going to do some dance practice tonight and then go to drumming practice. Then tomorrow, a going-away party.

Staying active helps keep the beast at bay for me. Does it help you?

Sort of off topic, but have you heard that Benedict Cumberbatch is rumored (strongly) to be a character in the next Star Trek movie coming out in 2013? :D

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes. It's not just a rumor. His casting as an antagonist is confirmed, but there is still speculation as to who he's playing.

[alryssa.livejournal.com]

lol that gif was me last weekend, ngl - you're right, it totally is, it's a sneaky hate spiral that just grabs you and throws you down this mental helter skelter that's studded with WOE and ANGST.

I'm limited in what I can do, to be honest. And getting the energy up to do things is another challenge. I feel like a slug a lot of the time.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

At least you're a cute slug!

XOXO

[msmitti.livejournal.com]

I see the difficulty. You, however, are a creative sort, and I have faith in your ability to dance to anything if you feel the need to do so ;)

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

I don't know that I feel the need to dance to punk bands. That...doesn't always go well. And I actually promised, in public (well, on FaceBook), to the girl hosting the party that I wouldn't get into a fistfight at her party.

[alryssa.livejournal.com]

It is, according to A Christmas Story, my only defense.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

AH HA HA HA HA!!!!

OMG that movie. <3

[alryssa.livejournal.com]

I love that movie. I kinda have to, it was filmed in my partner's home town ;)

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Cool!
