Good times

The past week’s been pretty insane and personally, I’ve been down in the dumps.  No motivation what so ever, feeling alone, and all that crap.  What’s it from?  I’d say it stemmed from work.  I had a presentation this past friday.  The prototype of the application I’ve been working on for months was shown to the major stakeholders at the office.  Pressure was definitely there.  For the entire week before it, I was working my ass off.  Starting at 8am to about 6:30pm I was at my desk focused on work like you wouldn’t believe.  Sit down and don’t move for 3 hours kinda work pumping out 40 or so bug fixes and feature requests.  It was a freaking wild ride and it lasted for 5 straight days.

In the middle of it, I found some time to get my first massage in.  The therapist was wondering what the heck I was doing.  My whole upper back and shoulders were unbelievably tense and stiff … the massage helped.  It was pretty bad, during that whole week I was walking around with my shoulders contracted … like I wanted to be a turtle or something.

Thank god the presentation went well … I would have freaked if it didn’t … at least I could relax a little at the end of the week.  One of the other problems?  This stupid ankle.  It’s still keeping down and out.  Timing was pretty bad as well.  It’s usually my escape from the stresses of work, but instead, it’s making me go insane very slowly.  Four weeks in, it’s still swollen but I’m walking fine, hopping a bit and living my body weight with it.  Hopefully some acupuncture will help as soon as my damned acupunturist gets back from vacation!  He conveniently left the week I injured myself.

Counting the days until I can play again … hopefully I won’t go insane first …
