Wide Turns Corner

Wide Turns Corner

How do I feel about myself today? Pretty alright, actually. Weight wise I’m somehow sitting at 267, where I was at 262 on Wednesday. I don’t particularly give a fuck at this moment, cause I’m pretty sure I look damn good for a beluga person. Employment has finally found me, both awesome in that we kinda expect that the weight loss is about to pick up, but also shitty because you know, wearing pants all day is a huge pain in the ass. I’ll deal with it, I guess. I’m gonna be practicing over the next couple of weeks just to be sure I don’t have any unfortunate “incidents” regarding slacks once I return to the world of adults and jobs.

This heat wave is kinda wrecking me. I had a weird boxing workout this week. At one point I kinda went blind for a second -- everything in my field of view turned into vibrating blobs of color. It was horrible and made me ridiculously dizzy, like huffing paint on a tilt-a-whirl dizzy. Thankfully I managed to regain control of my vision after a little bit. Then I managed to sorta punch myself in the temple, which made everything so much better and more awesome.

I don’t know if it was a mild heat stroke or a concussion, but shit got goofy. I attempted to do my laundry by throwing quarters into the detergent cup, then spent well over a minute trying to figure out how to pour the laundry soap into the coin slot. Eventually I realized I was being an idiot, and got the detergent situation sorted out. By that I mean I poured all over the quarters already in the detergent area. Great, just great.  A new set of quarters later, laundry was finally being done, so I took a shower to hopefully clear my mind. It wasn’t until I was out of the shower that I realized everything I owned is being laundered, including towels and underwear. I made the best of it, of course, and let me be honest: There’s nothing quite like the sensation of air drying yourself in front of a fan to really clear the mind. 

I also probably spent a little bit too long in front of the mirror, pretending to be Die Hard: 2 and doing naked Krav Maga move, but that wasn't the first time.
