Yesterday's Training Results

Instead of walking, I sat down on my parents' spinning bike. Did that for 30 min and got to 10.55 km (previous time was 9.94 km!)

I actually ended the last 30 seconds at a speed of 40 km/h!

Goal achieved! 10 XP earned

Total: 10 XP

So yesterday didn't go exactly as planned. I would leave work at 3 pm, go home, do chores, do my walk, go to parents for dinner, and yeah.

Instead I left work at 4:45 pm :| Went straight to dad, through all the traffic jams pretty much, had dinner there. Then did workout on spinning bike instead of walking (which is actually a more intense workout, so I keep my XP for it). Then showered and went home. I was home at 8:30 pm...

At my parents (lol only my dad is home atm, mom is out the country) I tried doing some yoga.

Ended up doing the first three poses I posted up here. It was a lot of fun, though I couldn't quite do them.

Also tried downward facing dog... with little success I think.

And tried doing quadrupedal movements. Unfortunately my ankle didn't want to do that so I had to stop before starting

- Cancel useless insurance

- Unfuck kitchen cabinet

- Unfuck bedroom

- Sort out drawing projects, what do I want to finish?

- Scan in papers from vacation trips

- Sort out some photos from my camera

- Think real hard whether I really need to hold on to certain items

- Finish up my website, or delete it, not keep it hanging half way

- Organize my online life, what accounts do I have, what I can get rid of?

- Really consider where I spend my time… now that I’m making this list anyway

- Finally get supplies and start working on my secret project

- Make a list of games I need to complete… and complete them!

- Stop overwhelming myself and keep lists!

It's a long list yes.

[Siferiax]

Making my Christmas wish list... hard to think of things... so now it's dominated by things that aren't normally on my wish lists. Normally my wish lists contain toys/video games/dvds/cds/etc.

Now I have this...

Step-ladder

Dustbuster

Mixer

Paring knives

Resident Evil 2

Resident Evil 6

Undead Skylander: Cynder

Sewing machine

Box to keep sewing stuff in

Coupon for fabric

Brilliant!

[realbrickwall]

Mtwo step thing, so I can reach the higher storage of my kitchen easier. (what are these things called in English D: )

hand vacuum... you know the really little ones?

Mixer... you know in the kitchen... for dough and what not?

Peeling knifes??? (English is being hard today D: )

Step-ladder

Dustbuster

Mixer (Yeah, we don't have any other words for that...)

Paring knives (probably what you want: small knife ideal for peeling and detail work, 6-10 cm)

The last one might be difficult. Money can't buy knives.

I should make a wish-list...except I don't really want people to spend money on me. Ever. Yeah, you could say I'm not a holiday person. Hope yours go well, though.

Thank you!

What do you mean, money can't buy knives?! I'm confused.

Well this is just for me and my parents. We buy each other gifts. So I'm totally obligated to make a list haha.

I mean I don't really mind so much anymore, which is why it mostly has useful items on there haha.

I used to be super materialistic and I'm kinda coming back from that mindset and work toward being more minimalistic (long way to go)

Didn't really wanna put this in my challenge thread, it's probably not the place anyway.

But yeah I feel AWFUL! Emotionally and thanks to that physically. Stomachache, headache, heart palpitation. Just been crying a lot and flipping out and feeling very unsure where to put this energy. It's stress/frustration/anxiety energy.

I need a better handle on my emotions, a better way to deal with them before they explode.

Funny thing is, I've already been in therapy for handling emotions, expressing them. Should probably review the material.

Yesterday's Training Results

Walked for 1 hour, 3 minutes and 22 seconds, for a distance of 5.11 km!!

Goal achieved! 10 XP earned

Total: 10 XP

It was a horrible, horrible evening. I also learned many things about myself though and... it's not pretty.

So I was really tired when getting home, both physically and mentally and pretty much went straight to bed. It was like 8:40pm.

I was nearing sleep (or may actually have slightly slept), and then my cat started to make this noise, awful loud noise. Over and OVER again.

And yes every time my stress level SHOT UP, like not normal. Till I pretty much flipped. Annoyed and half asleep I went over to my cat's room to check it out.

So I discovered what exactly my cat was doing. He jumped up on his scratch post, then jumped at the panel curtains that hang in the room. Over and over.

The scratch post is standing against the wall and directly at the other side is my bed. The scratch post is not very stable (I have noticed that with all of them, what?!) in fact there's a 2 kg plate on it, because my cat had managed to knock it over already!! So basically the scratch post would bang against the wall every time he jumped on it and every time he jumped off it.

So I rearranged the room and moved the scratch post somewhere else (which was a challenge in and off itself... small room, many things to knock off if my cat would stand at the top).

Then I was very frustrated (which I was anyway) with my cat's drinking fountain. I had been putting off cleaning it for a week or so. So I grabbed the whole thing, went to the kitchen and scrubbed it back to shiny clean. Actually fixing some issues there were with it. Then after putting it back in the room, I went back to bed.

Then I couldn't sleep, had to cry a lot... then I hear things falling on the floor. Get out of bed and pick up the things my cat had managed to throw off a shelve (as mentioned) and put those into a cabinet.

Back to bed. Frustrated, on high alert with all the cortisol and adrenaline, and unable to sleep due to all that. Picked up the book "The Introvert Advantage" and got tired after reading for awhile.

Trying to sleep again. Still no success. Pick up work laptop, start it up, wait forever for it to do that. Log in, try to get it to connect to my wireless network. It won't. For whatever reason (due to an unknown reason, thanks windows!).

So I pick it up, move over to the living room, hook it up with a cable and do a shit ton of things for work, including my end of year self-assessment (first year it's implemented) and... whatsapp some with my mom about what I'm doing for work. (who keeps pointing out I should be asleep).

So it's past midnight by the time I close down the laptop and hop back into bed. 00:40 am I finally manage to try and successfully fall asleep.

I definitely can scream at the top of my lunges in frustration here.

So what did I learn from all this?

a) apparently I get stress from sound (not mentioned but the upstairs neighbors were walking up and down the stairs as well, adding to my stress).

apparently I get stress from unfinished business nagging my mind (this is completely unconscious)

c) I get stressed easier while tired

d) I'm very irritable when tired

e) I don't do well with overwhelming emotions

So I have a new task for today!

Not so much because of her... but... people ;w; I don't do well with crowds okay?!

And considering how exhausted I was yesterday from the fabric market....

[70Kel]

Omg your to do list is going down quickly, great stuff

I'm glad you read your coaching material & you found it useful, this is a really big step forward woohoo Kibcy is taking control, I love it, well done!

I think your friend would want you at the birthday party? can you try to go for a short time, mingle a bit & then leave?

I know! I'm surprised too! I guess writing it down, really gets me going. Already kicked off 5, I'm sure I can do more.

Thank you I feel I need to read it more. Actually found the papers that belong with it over the weekend, so I can read up on more!

Yep I did exactly that. I arrived at a full house, and left about an hour later. I told her I wouldn't join for dinner, and so left around that time

But yeah 3 kids (2 underneath the age of 5), a baby, and lots of people.......

[Siferiax]

I guess it's that time again where everything comes at exactly the same time.

So I'm no longer surprised at feeling like crap!

I have my period coming up (stopped birth control yesterday, thank god for birth control, else I'd be down and out).

I also apparently have a cold... and that means my ear is swelling up nicely. Hello ear infection, how are you today?!

Really hope it's not gonna get super bad... else I'd have to go to the doctor, get antibiotics and get horribly ill.... (don't you love antibiotics?!)

Thanks to the above I felt pretty horrible during the day.

In the evening I watched The Mist before going to bed. It was pretty darn intense! Quite a good horror movie if it can deliver nightmares/dreams the same night!!

I still have some more DVD's lying around that I should watch... should take some time for that as well.

Thank you I wouldn't have done it any other way. Though yes I did think of making an excuse and not going.

~~

Okay so I got 4 solid hours of work in... and now I'm out of work. Ran into a few problems, but the person I need for this isn't working today.

More work will need to be done tomorrow.

[Siferiax]

- Make a list of unfinished games

ALL THE GAMES :|

Definitely is easier to make a list of games I have finished.

Though with games like Aggressive Inline... what exactly is finished?!

So what I really do wanna finish:

- Skyrim

- Resident Evil series (1, zero and 2 Claire side finished)

- Epic Mickey

- Zelda, Skyward Sword (Stuck the boss before the end boss, brilliant!)

- Skylanders (Wii, this requires me to take my skylanders to my parents... it's their game...)

- Skylanders (3DS)

And a whole bunch of other games -sigh-

These are the current ones though I guess.

I consider this taken care off. Now just to go play and finish those games!

[Nuala]

Maybe that would help you: http://backloggery.com/

List all your games and flag them unfinished/beaten/Complete. It really helps me figuring out how many games I should finish before buying some new one. And if you don't know what to play, the fortune cookie will tell you! Here is my own backlog: http://backloggery.com/mekere

I won't be allowed to buy computer games for a while ^^'

[Jonesy]

It's also my friend's birthday... which I don't feel like attending at all :|

Not so much because of her... but... people ;w; I don't do well with crowds okay?!

And considering how exhausted I was yesterday from the fabric market....

I get the same feeling sometime about going out. I usually just push through it because I know I'll enjoy myself once I'm out of the house. I also tell myself I'll only be there for an hour or so and end up staying WAY later.

Great job on your list! Keep knocking each one off!
