Okay, so... I think I won't be exercising for (at least) couple days.

 

On Monday my neck and upper back started to hurt. I thought soreness or something. All the week I tried to stretch/massage it, but to no avail. It even  hurts a bit by bit more every day, so I need to focus on sorting this out before I start throwing 40kg kettlebell around again. 

 

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yesterday I found in my Mom's medicine cabinet some suspiciously looking, big jar. Turns out it's something called "Horse Back Balm". It is natural (arnica, mint, camphor etc), so I tried it and it seems to work better than modern painkiller ointment.

Neck got better. But in the meantime I managed to drop 30kg on my pinkie. Bones are fine, but some soft tissues went 'squish' like would an orange stepped on. Lucky me... Not very painful though, so I guess I will try some exercises by the weekend. Will see what can be done.

I decided to go with lighter kettle for getups because pinkie is still swollen. Scab on the wound is nice and dry, but is still holds firmly.

 

I never thought I use the ring finger and pinkie so much while holding things :)

Man, I'm tired today. No sleep at night.

 

Instead, this:

Not my roof.

I'm a volunteer firefighter in my settlement. We spent good couple hours putting this fire down. We needed to strip part of the roof apart because fire was hiding below the metal roofing sheets. 

When got back home, it was already 4am. It made no sense going to bed when I wake up at 5:30 to work. 

 

But anyway, after work:

Feeling-like-crap continues. It may be stomach flu. Or regular cold that makes me nauseous. Anyway, I try to do at least some exercising...

Will add something later this week, but rather sets than reps. For now 7 reps in a row seems my max without feeling exhausted afterwards.

Something weird is happening. I eat as much as usual, I do as much (or as little) as usual, yet every day for last week or so when afternoon comes, I'm pumped out. This tiredness is strange - not quite the physical type, like after shoveling metric ton of coal or running an OCR. It isn't mental burnout either (I know that one all too well). I can't quite put my finger on it and it makes all this even worse.
