Back to the grind is not so bad
Apr. 27th, 2011 04:44 pmI managed to sleep five hours straight aided by nighttime cold medication and then a couple more hours after watching Black Swan (which was awesome) so I arrived back in Australia more rested than I normally would be after a flight across the Pacific.
Cupcake Goddess picked me up from Canberra Airport and we had plans to meet up for afternoon tea, but I dozed off on the sofa just after noon and missed it. We will have to reschedule. I was delighted to see that someone had left a chocolate bunny on my bed and a number of chocolate eggs hidden around Chez Canuck. Nobody was home when I got back and I had to take care not to eat all that I found.
I managed to stay up until 11, a reasonable going to bed time, but couldn't sleep past 4am. So I figured the best thing I could do would be to get back to the gym with a vengence.
TW: 15-14...1, half clean and press, kettlebell swings, pullups. My time was about 35 minutes which was longer than I would have liked. There were more pauses than I wanted to have, I guess on account of not having been to the gym for a while, still being fatigued (though unable to sleep) and being a bit hungry. Still, it was good to get back to serious crossfitty workouts again.
The day at work was not bad. There are plenty of letters to write and I will get through that, and it looks like I will be flying to Dubbo tomorrow (exotic after I've been to New York perhaps?) and spending the weekend in Sydney. I've been devoid of work stabulence today, though perhaps the leftover happy from holidays is keeping my spirits up. There may yet be time for me to get back to being my bitter and jaded self soon.
Overall, I'm feeling better than I did after my last trip last year. Maybe I feel like I have more on the horizon now.
