Little Debby Has a Snack For Us
Aug. 4th, 2024 06:54 amI'm alive LOL. The past week or so I've been dealing with what I can only describe as crushing fatigue. Just enough energy to do the minimum, which also means no workouts, no walks, no extras. I'm feeling somewhat better, just in time for Debby to come wreak havoc. Fox and I have already bought gas and etc in case it's such a rainmaker that we get stuck back here for a while. He and some of the other guys out this way can work the road with their tractors if it gets bad, and we can run our generator for ten straight days if needed. Typically we don't run ours 24/7 but that's how we mentally measure the amount of gas we have.
I can tell I've slacked off on yoga, too. I know it'll all come back soon enough but man I am so stiff. I also canceled my strength app, though I plan to continue lifting. But it's time for marathon training, which means I need to lift more like a runner and less like a bodybuilder. It's guided me through enough that I know how to do my fall and winter lifting, and I'll be more motivated to stick with it because I know how much it helps my running. I still hate weighted lunges but man they are SO good for my wonky hips.
If I weren't so dead I'd think about making a couple of loaves of shokupan today.
The only thing of note that I've really done is I finished Okami. I also collected all the stray beads, which means I'll never need to do the Devil Gate Trials again. (Three Great Tengu at once. THREE. This was after defeating TWO OTHERS) I've started a new game+ but until Steam fixes whatever they messed up with controllers I can't progress beyond the first fishing game. Hopefully they actually DO something about that, because it's not just Okami that's affected, but this is also Steam so who knows. I started playing Hob, not sure where I saw it recommended, but I'm enjoying it immensely. Hob is entirely wordless. No dialogue, no written signs, nothing. Your powerups have descriptions in one sub menu but nothing is ever really explained to you.
I'm going to try to get a short treadmill run in this morning. I would have gone out to run on the road but it was already 78 when I got up, and there isn't a breath of wind outside. If it were breezy that would at least bring some relief but it feels like a sauna. There hasn't even been much bird or squirrel activity in the yard, and usually the Cardinals start cheeping once the sky begins to get light.
