So here’s what happens when I. An unabashed attention seeking Leo. Requests to skip her birthday. It confuses people. Like, they don’t know what to do with their hands. Because last year. I made sure folks knew. They had a one week lead in to my birthday. To prepare. To do this. (Damn, I miss … Continue reading Birthday Boycott

A Taylor Swift Workout Session
“I’m surprised BB is letting you go to the gym so much this week instead of resting up for whatever big adventure she has planned.” I’m on call this weekend. Can’t adventure. I’ve got a note from my boss. So I worked out yesterday morning. At home. I was gonna run. But people die in … Continue reading A Taylor Swift Workout Session
The End of a Friendship
You know those mornings where you can’t get out of bed? Literally? Like, you have to do a couple of practice stands before you can actually force yourself up? And fully out of bed? My neck/shoulder rigor mortis is back. It went away after last night’s PlayFITStayFIT workout. Because J-Vicious worked the hell out of … Continue reading The End of a Friendship
Leg Torture Day
“Sunshine? Can you come out here for a minute?” That’s never a good sign. “Oh no. This is very good.” See, it was the way he emphasized very. That led me to actually believe him. So when he pointed to my shoeless car. And said I not only needed rear brake pads. But front break … Continue reading Leg Torture Day
Arm Day Number Four
I just woke up. Covered in a fairly thick layer of grime and dried sweat. And I can’t move. I didn’t shower when I got up yesterday. In anticipation of my evening plans. Despite my reservations. And some folks’ taunting. I showed up for Arm Day at PlayFITStayFIT yesterday. At around 4:55. Thought I walked … Continue reading Arm Day Number Four
First Week Back
By the end of this week, we're gonna be able to lift a car up off a person. But also probably we won't be able to open a car door. So, what had happened was, I did a strength workout at home on Monday. Focused mostly on upper body. Because I'm weak as hell. Then … Continue reading First Week Back
This Isn’t Even Real Life
"Damn. I've always threatened to just walk the fuck out of class and drive away. But I've never actually done it..." As we watched LL get into her car and back out of her garage. "That's kind of...badass..." And it's not like J-Vicious could yell at her. We're virtual right now. Like, this isn't even … Continue reading This Isn’t Even Real Life
Managing My Motivation
“The last exercise that we’ll do is Fall Risk’s favorite. And we’ll do 50 of those.” I know what Fall Risk’s favorite is. We all know what Fall Risk’s favorite is. We don’t know why they’re her favorite. But we know what they are. But Fall Risk wasn’t even “in” virtual class tonight. So I … Continue reading Managing My Motivation
Pandemic Brain
“Why haven’t you learned anything I’ve taught you about cheating in gym class?” Because I’m a pure soul incapable of deception? See. The problem was. Fall Risk loves manmakers. Are you familiar with this bullshit? So you take a set of dumbbells. And you burpee with them. Except instead of just a standard bullshit burpee. … Continue reading Pandemic Brain
Dorito Socks and Heavy Weights
You ever get a delivery? From Amazon? During a global pandemic? And spend 17 1/2 minutes staring at the box? On your porch? Trying to remember what in hell you possibly bought? There’s a point where you try to determine who might hate you enough to ship you a box of the Covid. Meh. You’re … Continue reading Dorito Socks and Heavy Weights
