Saturday & Sunday

Wow, so I wrote a nice big post for Saturday and Sunday and then saved it, shut down my computer, and went about my day.  When I got home and logged back in, however, it was gone.  THANKS BLOGGER!  So I'll try to write a brief version.  I messed up on Friday's workout with one too few miles and 10 too many sprints.  Oh well.  Woke up Saturday morning, spent some time with Snackers before he left for work and then started on my final for IT 205.  Before I realized it Snackers was walking back in the door, it was 4 p.m. and I'd spent the ENTIRE DAY working on my final without food, water, or even getting up to go to the bathroom.  I spent another 45 minutes still finishing up the final and when I stood up I was hurting so bad I thought I was going to pass out.  My PF was killing me and as I limped toward the living room I felt a sharp, shooting pain in my tail bone, slightly on the right side, and up into my lower back.  I find it so irritating that my body is causing so many problems in my effort to lose weight.

We went to dinner, SUSHI HEAVEN, and the shooting pain up my hip/back happened three or four more times so I decided that trying to walk five miles was probably a bad idea.  Maybe my three-week plan is too ambitious after the two weeks of hell I put myself through getting into this house, I dunno.  We opted to go see the last Harry Potter movie instead because I am a HUGE Harry Potter nerd and Snackers was willing to humor me.

This morning I woke up in so much PF pain that I couldn't walk, literally.  I wanted to cry.  I crawled to the living room and tried the PF stretches I found on Google but they did nothing, then I tried Ki's golf ball trick.  It provided instant, shocking, blessed, and absolute relief in just two minutes but then I decided to clean the kitchen and was hurting again in no time.  Clearly all the tile floors in this new house are going to be a problem.  I'm going to have to get some of those cushy mats they use behind retail registers and put them in the kitchen.

Back to the golf ball, then we cashed our checks (I got a phat refund check from the title company), and went grocery shopping.  We found some awesome curtains at WalMart, of all places, for the living room for just $10 each so we just couldn't pass them up at that price.  When we got home we put away the groceries and then I picked up two weeks worth of dog poop in the back yard, washed my hands, and started dinner.  While supper was cooking I hung the new curtains in the living room, put all of my tools away and fed the dogs.  I'm hurting again - so bad I can't even find the right words.  This PF crap might actually be worse than when I had inflamed tendonitis in my shoulder (tennis elbow, but in my shoulder).  Maybe not, at least PF only hurts when I stand up/walk.  Tendonitis hurts 24/7.

PICTURE DAY!  I don't have my trusty white door anymore where I've taken all of the previous pictures and the front door in this house is in a kind of curved hallway so, as you can see, it's not a good angle.  I will probably just pick a wall next month but here it is anywho.
