Walk it off

Wow did I overdo it this weekend. Oof.

Saturday morning I ran errands before we went to Kansas City to see the new Captain America movie (LOVED IT) and then went to Costco. Where we found a Sony receiver to replace the replacement for the Yamaha receiver we bought at Kiefs to replace the one that died at the grad student party two weeks ago because the one from Kiefs had faulty HDMI ports and fuck it, the one at Costco was almost $300 cheaper and has all the functions of the Yamaha. We can use the $300 [livejournal.com profile] mckitterick saved on the receiver to purchase a new Blu-Ray player because apparently when the old receiver died, it also fried the Blu-Ray player which now won't put out any audio signals, even when plugged directly into the television.



So anyway, we got home from KC and I stopped by to say hi to one of my drummers whom I haven't seen in months because she was having a cookout and I really miss her so yeah, drive-by hello, but better than nothing.

Sunday I woke up feeling out of sorts (weirdly weepy and lethargic), but I went to my session with Andrew because a good workout usually makes me feel better. Usually. Yesterday it didn't work out like that. I got home from it and fought off levels of exhaustion that made me too tired to do anything but the minimum. Unfortunately for me, The Minimum was touch up my roots; do the laundry; make two batches of Bowl of Food for the week; cook the three bags of greens I bought at Costco; clean, wrap, and bake a dozen potatoes; then of course clean the kitchen after all that and provide the minimum of moral support (and less than the minimum of physical support) to [livejournal.com profile] mckitterick who cut down a dangerously-leaning tree in the backyard. Oh, and then gave [livejournal.com profile] mckitterick an hour massage after dinner because the poor guy was a mess after four hours dealing with that tree.



Thank gods I slept well, although I am still feeling a little brain-foggy and physically weary.

And yeah, I got pics and video of some of the tree-cutting. Of course.

What an excellent gif. I felt like that most of last week. WHAT IS SLEEP?

*hugs* Hope your energy levels get a chance to recharge.

OH GOD ME TOO.

And I really hope I don't need to skip lifting this week to do that.

Jeezy Creezy.
TOO MANY THINGS!!!

Yeah, that was just way too much. Note to self: For future weekends, plan either A Day Full of Stuff or A Day Full of Kansas City. Not both. You need at least one weekend day at home, chilling or doing something low-stress. Like art. Or drinking. Or both.

This is so very true, and I only have mental energy level problems, not physical energy problems!

Busy. Good on you for the follow-up massage.

Wow, I could use one of those this week.

MASSAGES FOR EVERYONE

Whoa. Whereas I had troupe practice, yelled at iTunes a lot, furiously knitted to finish a belated gift, saw Only Lovers Left Alive, and visited family. I'm making up for it next week, though. ALL THE YARDWORK! ALL THE BASEMENT CLEANING! ALL THE DUMP RUNS!

I'm not gloating, seriously! Took a 3 hour round trip to see it, too. Thankfully with the film and drinks/dinner with friends in the middle. Cannot WAIT to see it again, and I'm looking forward to your thoughts.

Also, that gif was pretty much my brain the entire time.

I am not letting myself believe that it won't come to Kansas City, which is only a 40 minute drive or so. IT HAS TO COME TO KANSAS CITY.

Check the film's website, it list the release dates and theatre locations for the entire country.

I'm not so excited about the Farscape movie, myself. See my comment on your FB post. =/
