Kishi Posted March 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 *hugs* sorry yesterday was bad! I hope today is stellar! It was rough, but it's getting better. Sounds like you're busy.Hope your days go better. If they don't, just kick them in the face. It was a rare combination of things today/yesterday. It happens every now and again, but it's done now. Ugh I hope your day goes better! Good luck and it's awesome to see that you are still going strong! Thank you! The support really means a lot. * So, I guess I owe you all an explanation for myself. I won't make a big fuss of it or anything, so I'll lay it all out and hide it behind spoilers in case you don't want to know. I had a friend. She was an old co-worker of mine from a couple years ago, back when I first worked in a coffeehouse. She was hard to get along with at first, but I think she figured out that once I wasn't going anywhere that I was okay to talk to. We became friends. I had originally got this job through a mutual friend of ours. As I continued working there, the two of them began dating and eventually fell in love. They got married and settled down and I paid them no mind. They were getting ready to have some kids of their own. Which is when the trouble started. I don't know all the details, but apparently her body didn't handle the pregnancy very well. There were some complications, but as far as we all knew, she was weathering okay. Then, one night, she wakes up complaining about head pain. They go to the ER, and she seizes up on the table. After they stabilize her, she's diagnosed with eclampsia, which does precisely no good for her because she's in a coma. The doctors end up delivering the baby via C-section, sixteen weeks premature. Weeks go by. The baby gets stronger, but mama is touch and go. What data they can extrapolate from scans and such indicates severe brain damage. However, they are eventually able to operate and reduce the pressure inside her body. She returns to consciousness, although she isn't responsive. Nobody seems to know anything about when she's going to get back to normal, although all signs seem to indicate that she is. And then a couple mornings ago, she just stopped breathing. And she never started again. Now I have a funeral to go to. But I have no idea when... and as such, I have no idea if. Of all the things to have to bend my ingenuity toward. Couple that with volunteering for someone's shift on top of my own, working from 0800-1900, getting down to bed in the small hours the night. It's really not been a fun couple of days. Honestly, though, that's what's made the challenge so strong in its performance for me. I can throw myself into training as a way to cope. It's good for me this way. AX: 5/6 Pull Up: 5/6 Cleaning: 1/1 Lent: 6/6 I think we should be good, though since I'm catching up the dosage on the program, I think I might go ahead and take the point back. I just took a rest day when I shouldn't have, on account of having no power. Probably I could have done something anyway, but... eh.

I should talk with the folks who do this stuff, see if I can't get anywhere with that. Oh, Kishi, that's rough. Hang in there.So sorry man *hugs* Losing a friend is a whole lot of pain. Yeah. It sucks, but, yeah. Nothing to be done but to hang with it. I just feel kind of numb and sad, and it's something that I need to sit with and sort out for a while, but the customers, they need their bread. * AX: 7/7 Pull Up: 6/7 Cleaning: 1/1 Lent: 7/7 Well, as you noticed, I took back the point. I hit every day I was supposed to hit, in terms of rest and time and such. I just hit it out of order. Still showing stronger and everything, though. I've done interesting things with the pull ups - I mixed in chins, mixed-grip, and commando pull ups, and I think that having done so has directly tied to my tendonitis receding. Still need to figure out whether or not to try to advance my reps again starting tomorrow. Kinda leaning toward no since I'm pushing to get my schedule back on track, which means hard training every day to start with. Then again, since that's going to be the way of things anyway, maybe I shouldn't worry about it. Lent is kept. Funeral's this Saturday. Head down and keep working...
