solo travel
 

went to see my mom for her birthday.. was a week late but made it down.
she's not looking good at all.
skin is waxy.. she had a ministroke while I was down there.
she hasn't remembered me in ages...

such a husk instead of the force of nature she used to be.

couple big exercise changes today
 

1) had been debating switching out my back exercises for yoga as my back has been a lot better since adding in the mcgill big 3. left those in the rotation but did yoga this morning and it was a nice change
2) finally did a strength workout without a brace and my thumb still feels fine! today would’ve been the follow up appt with the hand specialist but since I canceled it wanted to see how working with dumbbells would go. sooo much easier than having to put the brace on/off depending on the exercise, stoked!

we got a bidet!
 

 it's only ok.
heated seat is def nice, as well as heated water. but the dryer takes sooooo long and is still just ineffective.
spent $300 on it and it just feels so cheaply made.

thinking about buying a whole new toilet with a built-in bidet for the master bathroom.

jfc no wonder
 

started doing core and strength workouts and jfc no wonder my back is fucked - I have no muscles =/ 

 in other news, having my job threatened has done wonders for my anxiety. 
forced me to actually come up with a plan instead of just generally feeling anxious. 
even able to sleep through the night now, which fml makes getting up to exercise a real chore lol 
woke up this morning in a warm bed surrounded by loved ones and that's something to be grateful for.
