The kettlebell came out to play!
I was supposed to go climbing but Patti had a wicked paper cut. In addition to the finger throbbing, it took her a while to stop the bleeding and she was concerned that it would open up again.
I improvised on my workout. Went for a walk and then got a kettlebell workout that I had printed ages ago, grabbed my kettlebell out of the basement and headed outside. It had been so long since I'd done a kettlebell workout that I was stumped by the figure eight portion of the program.
After my little 'bell workout, decided to do a few errands and I might need to change my day for shopping because it's much more humane in stores on a Thursday. Came across this shirt and it stopped me in my tracks because it honestly describes work.

In fact, had I know that we weren't climbing today, I would have gone to the yoga studio after work.
I am laughing SO HARD at the picture of the raccoon! WTF!?!?! Then I saw further down that you were at a conservation place so at least it had context, instead of just like "this soap making place is really into raccoons."
ReplyDeleteI did know that about the lye, because I always remembered in Autobiography of Malcolm X, he describes getting his hair conked to straighten it, and how incredibly painful it was. They used lye for that.
That Figure 8 - I have banged my knees more than once, and dropped the 'bell more than once when my hands got sweaty.
LOL about the raccoon.
ReplyDeleteThanks for reminding me about that Malcolm X story. I know that I stopped getting perms a long time ago because I said to myself while getting the hell burned out of my scalp "This is sadistic." I had tucked that memory away too.
Re: kettlebells, I'll have to reacquaint myself.
I used to get my hair permed when I was a teenager, but that was a whole different kind. It was smelly but not painful!
