jianantonicI'm really sore. I guess I might have pushed too hard at the gym the other day, so I made up my mind early yesterday to give myself a day off. Still, I walked to Fred Meyer for some groceries, and ended up buying a 12-pack of Diet Sunkist there, along with two other full bags of stuff. I did not think that through. Carrying a 12-pack of soda for a mile, along with two bags of groceries, is a logistical and muscular nightmare. I was carrying the soda in my right arm, and today my right bicep is absolutely on fire. Oops. At least I feel a little less guilty about skipping the gym.
McKenzie and I had a couple of really nice, long talks last night. Both of us have been way stressed lately, but we basically agreed that things will get better and that we're here for each other. Should be a given, but I needed to talk it over, and it was nice to hear. I miss him so much.
He told me that his grampa isn't doing so well these days. Apparently his meds aren't working like they once did and he's not really able to take care of himself very well. He's never really recovered from his wife's death last February, and I don't think he ever will get over that heartbreak. They were together for 65 years. I'm going to Salem today to take him out to lunch. He's the only Grampa I've got and I love him tremendously. I want him to feel loved.
After my trip to Salem, I hope I'll have the energy to get back to the gym today. My legs, abs, and right bicep are stiff and sore, so that will limit me a bit, but I should at least be able to work in some cardio and stretching. I also need to clean up a little in here so Kelly and Laura have a place to stay when they get here. Oh and I guess I need to shop for a new tent if I'm going to go camping on the coast with them. That'll be a nice getaway...not that I ever need to get away from Portland.
Peace.
