Let's see here.. what have we missed..
Wednesday I saw Nick, my trainer, for the first time. It was all kinds of awesome and he is exactly what I wanted! No mercy and pushes me to the extreme! I was sore for days later. He isn't crazy good looking, which I think in the long run is best... less distracting. But not too shabby. VERY buff (too much so for my personal tastes) with some tattoos (again... not my style). He's just nice enough to make it very enjoyable, but tough enough to kick my butt all royal. I think this is a turning point in my life physically speaking.
Thursday we left for Disneyland! I chatted the whole time with the director, Wendy as we sat at the front of the bus (one of those big tour type buses). The hotel was incredible! Kitchen in every room! And a living room! And the beds were outstanding. We got in around midnight, but thankfully didn't have to get up painfully early.
So Friday I get up and get a cardio workout in (they had a small gym in the hotel). Breakfast was uneventful. I brought my own food, just in case. And I'm glad for it, because there was almost nothing there for me.. save for eggs, potatoes, bananas, and apples.
Moving along...
The kids sang wonderfully at the festival, and I played rather well, if I do say so myself. Only one mistake at the beginning of the last song. For some reason, every now and then, while I'm in the middle of playing in the key of D Major (and D only, mind you), my brain just switches to Bb Major. Why?? I have NO clue. This has happened a few times in the past 9 years. At any rate, I had a brief "Oh no!" moment, but got back on track in the next measure.
After that we ate lunch and popped on over to Disneyland, where I proceeded to hang out with some kids and then got heat stroke/exhaustion. I already knew I was dehydrated..and mix that with LA's ridiculous serous contrast to Sacramento weather, and you've got yourself a recipe for death. ;) So I died in the first aid building, trying not to vomit on everyone as I made my way there.
The next morning, Saturday, I got a ride to a nearby store and bought a watermelon. That did the trick! I ate half of it throughout the day (plus LOTS of water) and made it through with as much energy as the kids. (9:30am-11pm!) We had a lot of fun, and I had quite a nice bonding time with one of them in particular.
Sunday was more bus.. back home.
Which brings us to today! Ah Monday. What a day for a workout.
I had my second session with Nick today, and it was twice as intense as the first time. Oh. My. Word. Full body circuit. I was shaking from head to toe by the end of it. :D Love it! Then I came back with mom a few hours later and got in 50 min of cardio. WHOOWAH!
My new remedy came in the mail! :D I took it just now. Man I hope this is the one. I can tell my count dropped a bit (maybe from the stress of the whole heat exhaustion thing).... it's low 20's, I'd guess. :P Man I'm of sick of this. BE NORMAL, PLEASE! Good grief. I'm thinking I should move my hematologist appointment to May... that way I can give the remedy some more time to work (the appointment is in two weeks, currently).
Well I'm stinky from all the sweating! Shower time!
