Over it

Nerd Fitness hits it out of the park, again. Get The Fuck Over It is pretty much one of my life philosophies (along with No Should and No Guilt), so I support his advocating of this rule 100%.

I had another lymph drainage session today. I don't feel any different. I scheduled a third visit for next week. If I don't see any improvement after that, I'll feel I gave it a good shot and won't feel stupid for calling it quits too early.

Something else I'm not calling quits on yet: HANDSTANDS. Thanks to some email back and forth with [livejournal.com profile] saffronhare, I have a method on practicing these bastards. Wish me luck!

The new Smoker costume could get finished tonight! My fingers have taken a beating (that's a lot of handwork in a very short period of time), but I want to get this wrapped up so I can move onto the commissioned pieces.

Three people (the financials secretary, the chair, and the assistant to the chair) are outside my office, discussing the university's new policy on reimbursement for alcohol and if they think Endowment will cover the wine served at next week's new faculty reception. This conversation has been going on for twenty minutes. I find this tragically amusing for so many reasons.

Lego Iron Man is my new hero.

The Royal Cigar Society Smoker is the show where I perform at our local Renaissance festival. We call it Smoker for short.

The crossing of the fandoms again, then. I was about to be all HOLY SHIT HOW because I was thinking of this (http://left4dead.wikia.com/wiki/The_Smoker).

Ooh! Thanks!

Great on the handstands and ditto on the new alcohol policy. Has a lot of folks twitching here :).

Everything is crazy twitchy right now. This new service center thing is bullshit. Are you dealing with that at KU Med?

They have been talking about something called 'pods', is that the same thing?

I think "A Robot's Guide to Healthy Living" might become part of my Gospel.

Yay! Nerd Fitness is so so so great.

I find the single best thing I can do in the hours when I am not engaged in a workout or basking in the post-workout glow is to *consume* awesomeness. I find as many sources of positive, ass-kicking narrative as possible...and use that to replace the self-sabotaging narrative that tends to creep in when I'm not paying enough attention. Thank you for the link!
