Exercise update - shoulder pain

The past week I have been incredibly tired. Worrisome tired. I know nothing is actually wrong, but also don't know what's caused it. It's been better the last few days but it was really bad last Monday through Thursday. I woke up as tired as when I went to bed and slept every chance I had. My energy was never more than 5%, which was particularly terrible when I was at work.

During this time my shoulder was in more pain than it ever has been (it still is), and my other shoulder also became injured. I'm not sure if this had anything to do with how tired I was, but I can't imagine so. It all started the day after the Urban Combatives active shooter seminar I took up in Madison with Lee Morrison. I was fine the day of, but Suzy shoved me into the wall pretty hard on my bad shoulder when I wasn't ready. That I'll attribute to the new pain in the back of my shoulder, although I would have thought it'd be gone by now.

With all that said, I haven't done any exercise in a full week. I've literally just been sleeping and eating. My appetite is also incredibly high for some reason. Yesterday I was feeling okay enough to go on a short run with Jamie, which felt great, even in the 30 degree weather; and today I went to strength and conditioning class at Miss Pole and then Pole 5 afterward, both of which were with Kate.

I wasn't expecting to be able to do anything in either class, especially Pole 5 (I was just going to go to hang out with people), but I surprising could keep up! There were a few things in the strength I had to discontinue doing, and I couldn't do any sort of pull up climbs in Pole 5 due to the pain in my shoulder while doing it; but everything else was fine. It was also the first time I was in a class where I could literally do everything and not have to sit aside during a move a couldn't do. That felt pretty good, I must say. And Kate gave me some really great tips and alternative moves to work on, which was refreshing because I've only had Tiffany lately. Switching it up is beneficial!

別に何もない

Listening to: Utada Hikaru - "One Last Kiss" Drinking: Sen cha from Fava Tea Mood: Mellow-ish. Waking up Working on: Adding Crew 11 to the ISS Wall interactive in Atlantis Reading: Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern (audiobook). About to pick up Matilda by Roald Dahl.  Remember when Livejournal used to have the tags at the end where you could add what you were listening to and what your mood was? Mine had little blue kitty icons that went with your mood and were very cute. I miss them. I particularly remember the 'productive' one, where the cat hat glasses on and was tapping on a keyboard. There was also one where it was snoozing and had little 'zzz's above its head.  On a different note, I had never heard this song by Utada Hikaru before (well, apparently I had because I had already "liked" it on Pandora, but I don't remember it), but I really like it. I'm actually repeating it again. It gives old school Utada vibes but apparently came out ...

Weird dreams

I've been having a lot of trouble sleeping this week. Between a host of unrelaxing dreams, difficulties falling asleep, and difficulties staying asleep, I feel utterly exhausted during the daytime.  Yesterday, I had so many odd dreams. In one of them, Skylar was a fluffy black cat like Sammie and I asked Brian at what age do children turn from cats into children, and he and Michelle made fun of me for thinking children were cats, even though she clearly was. He passed her over to me to hold at one point, but Skylar squirmed out of my grip right away, and I was confused how I was supposed to hold cat - children.  I had a more concerning dream about Roto. In the dream, Trevor from KSC work, the gal that freelanced with us once at Roto who used to work there, and I had been hired on as freelancers to write had pitch two ideas for some kind of show.  In the dream, the timeline aligned with this past weekend when I have been asked to guest lecture at UCF for their show writing...
