The Haps

Life update and that.

Physically: the thing is increasing our ambient activity levels after being sedentary for so long, and prepping the tweaky joints for a return to more strenuous training. Six weeks of Knee Ability Zero, Power ForeArms! (shoutout Phil Requist), and Javorek's Shoulder Reconditioner for the latter. For former, starting each day with a bit of yoga into a tabata interval into sitting in a deep squat for a bit, plus getting in a minimum amount of easy calisthenic work throughout the day (shoutout Mythical Strength for both the daily work concept and the tabata idea). Daily work has already hit roadbump; we started doing pullups in sets of 10, hit some persistent soreness that evolved into minor pain through the movement, and now are reduced to 1 pullup a day mostly as a check to see if it still hurts. Everything else is fine.

Still working at the waffle joint; still we harbor a firm belief that everyone who goes to restaurants should be killed. They took away our ability to control the music in the space so the job is a lot less fun than it used to be. Still incredible we can survive off three days of work a week (although we are quite poor - not the greatest).

Currently reading Gendlin's Focusing and Baldwin's Jimmy's Blues and Other Poems; watching a good amount of films - most recently God of Cookery (which we bounced off of unfortunately).

Quite lonely still; we gotta make some COVID conscious friends soon bec we grow weary of wasting away in our room. Have heard Roboto's requiring masks still; must investigate.
