    I've hit a patch of not wanting to do a damn thing. Help! Luckily my routines are strong and I'm cooking for myself, but can you guys help me with my mental funk?

     

    Is there just one teensy little thing you could do that is moving you in the right direction, whatever that may be? 

    If there is, just do that one little thing for now and leave the rest for another time (if these are absolute "must-do" things). You don't have to do ALL THE THINGS at once. :)

    Currently I have the Samsung S7 Active.  However, I cannot say how sword or pony-proof it might be.  However, a member of my household (SquirrelKing) had his fall onto the road while actively bicycling, and it wasn't even scratched.

     

    Thank you! :)

     

    And thank you for your patience, Ensi! :) Back to foxes, business, and sharks. Must never forget Le Shark!

    As we were wrapping up a practice my step daughter, Post Emo Girl, thought it would be funny to swat me in the hindquarters with a training sword.  So she ramps up and hits me full in the ass right over the pocket my phone was in.  Score training blade 1, Note 3 0.  The phone was totaled.

     

    :D:D:D

     

    Sorry to hijack your thread for a bit, Ensi, but: 

    Do you happen to have a sword-proof phone now? If so, which one? (Not that I need a sword proof phone, but a pony-proof phone would be nice...)

    It also helps that I'm in for the really really long haul. There's no "get there and then live", it's, "Live as best I can, and eventually I'll get there-- even enjoying the ride!"

     

    Hell to the yes! :D

    Sounds like you are doing all the right things to move you in the direction you want to go. That is huge! :)

     

    Thank you for asking! I'm still rehabbing my left wrist and elbow, and I am still taking it very slow. But I have started going to KB classes again in August. Still scaling things down, in regards to training, and it's sometimes frustrating to see all the things I can't do (yet), but my trainer is very good about recommending regressions or more paw-friendly variations, so that is very helpful. 

    TL;DR: I'm plodding again, though at an even slower pace than before. ;) 

    Though it feels like I have nothing much to report, so I'm not logging here, for the time being.

    The only metric I hit was fish.

     

    Out of context, this sentence is awesome. :D

     

    Within context, congrats on hitting that poor fish! ;) 

    AND also on those lost 2 pounds! 

     

    Onwards and upwards!

    t's been almost two years since I started studying computer science...! I don't know exactly what to do with it. You know, I am very interested in it and all, but it's such a quickly evolving field with a lot of possibilities that I haven't quite caught my own spot there yet.

     

    Guess what - I've been working in this quickly evolving field for almost two decades now (wow, I'm OLD!), and if you decide to work in web dev even only for a time, I'm pretty sure your "own spot" will keep changing as well. 

    Mine did and still does. :D

    It's one of the things that make work in development so rewarding for me: You always keep learning. :)

    Does the achy wrist coincide with changes in the weather???  Occasionally, my ankle .... injured more than a decade ago ..... decides to ache for a bit.  

     

    Actually, both wrists still tend to be twingey when it's cold. Or hot. :PHave been like that since the tendonitis 25 years ago. 

     

    -- 

    In the meantime, I have been mainly plodding along with my wrist rehab and regular appointments with the Drill Master. After another setback including whiny elbows, he's happy with the progress my wrist is making. Extension is stronger than flexion, though, so there's still lots of room for improvement. 

    I've also been doing my FF practice (mostly frog + pancake stretches with occasional pigeons thrown in) and more cat/cow and dolphin variations for spine + shoulders. 

     

    Shoulders even felt so stable that I attempted a forearm stand (against the wall). I didn't crash, although I could only hold it for about 2 seconds. But still, shoulders didn't collapse! Yay! 

     

    I also tried my first tripod headstand since B.S. (before the splint), also with wall support. It was wobbly as heck, but pain free. I'll take it! :)

     

    Also first attempt at un-weighted TGUs since BS - AKA "attempted suicide by yoga block". :D There is so much "room for improvement" that it's difficult to decide where to begin. :P
