Work was...I'm not even sure how to describe it. For once I'm not okay with the "we need evidence to prove this, give us the data"...very heretical thinking in my little box of a world but for once I'm not about digging in and proving something I already know is true...but others don't feel that way and I'm stuck in the quagmire of their organization of the data which is lacking in any finesse and common sense. Sighs. So, I did not get a lot done yesterday but belly button thinking and that put me in a weird state. And to add to that weird state we are still waiting to hear from one of our suppliers whose factory in PA had a large fire. They can't get in to see the damage yet and this could have major impact on us as a product line. Sighs...course we aren't the only people who use them either. Sighs.
After that I drove home reveling in Craftlit and the grey day the weather was turning. I got home and started more work on the afghan and my OCD was taking over. I almost didn't get dinner but I did, got my kung fu jammies on and then headed to class in the truck with all of the scribble stuff too. Class was going good until I was working through 7 kicks and I did a really nice and high jump crescent and came down on my left leg fine and then it jammed. I tried to maintain weight on it and crumpled to the floor as my calf cramped up something fierce. Mel came to the rescue and dug into the knots along the tendon on the side of my calf and knee. They were very, very angry. After a lot more massaging and stretching I rejoined class and worked through some drills. I had to keep sidling up to the wall to stretch my calf out.
Left class and headed to scribble and enjoyed the ice pack. I massaged on it more and chatted.
scribe_ari stated that my afghan was too tight on my starting chain, so I now have a little snugly neckerchief. I'll restart the afghan tonight with about 20-40 more stitches. Sighs but yanno...I'd only gotten 7 rows in and I've now figured out the pattern so eh. Its a learning process and I'm okay with that and I got to basically swatch out my color repeats and I'm really really liking the colors...greys and pinks make me happy. Had a good scribble and finished up a scroll that had been annoying me to no end. Not my best work but its done. That leaves 10 scrolls to callig (I need to work on that a bit this weekend) and then 2 other scrolls to paint. I really need to work on line work and white work...my proportions are off a lot of times and I don't know how to doodle very well. Cause really, white work is just doodling all over your painting...I iz not so good wif that. Got home and mel worked on my leg some more, I showered soaked and then lathered on the icy hot.
I slept well, I'm really enjoying
WWZ and can't wait to read more this weekend. The leg was stiff but I've been stretching and rubbing it...and I put more icy hot on it this morning. I'm almost all caught up on listening for
Craftlit and if anyone can tell me if the ipod touch should be showing me "skip" points and pictures on podcasts (if they are coded correctly) please comment. The podcaster would like to know and since I'm very, very new to podcasting as a listener I'm not sure if I have things turned on correctly or not.
Anyhoo...I have different motivation today versus yesterday. I just need to Get-R-Done on lots of avenues....and that will propel me through the day very well. After that it will be home, stretch out, work out and then hang until ari calls to go over cat care stuff. I'll be at practice next week...with a much better outlook and stretched out body.
