I think part of the reason I hate doing the physio exercises is because they're just so much like the kind of exercise that I hate.

Like. Cardio? I love me some cardio. I'll do hours of it if I can. But anything where you need to count reps and time it and whatever, ugh, no. No! And that's basically what the physio exercises are. ...So it's just a chore, and blah blah blah.

Likewise, I do bodyweight exercises and whatnot, but it's very ugh. Also, have started with the dumbbells - at least to a degree. Because I needed some for the physio exercises as added resistance, so I thought "Okay, since I have these now, might as well figure out what else to do with them". So, I started with floor presses, since you don't need a bench for that. And it's... fine, but it's also very ugh. The whole time I'm thinking, "I would rather go run around the parking lot for half an hour".

I just find it kind of funny. So many people are like "Ugh, cardio, cardio sucks, it's useless, you're doing hours of bullshit for nothing". Buuut it works really well for me, what can I say. (And like, if part of the reason you're exercising is to prevent cardiovascular disease... it's pretty useful, man.)

And that's my whining for the week. :V

Misc +++

+ Had a three-day weekend due to the stat holiday. Didn't get anywhere near as much rest as I would have liked, buuuuut it was still nice!

+ I'm super tired. I don't even know why. There's no reason for it! (Self, you know why: you spent Friday and Saturday running around, and then you spent most of today cleaning like a maniac.) ...Anyway, upside, I spent some of today talking to Tik, and later on I did get to relax, and watched not one but two horror movies this evening (which weren't as terrible as I expected), so overall it's All Good. :V

+ There are two Little Libraries in my town; one within walking distance, and one that I need to drive to. So, yesterday I went to take a look at the farther one. It's slightly larger; had a pretty good selection, too. Anyway - I'm glad that I know where it is now. It'll be nice to return the books I take from Nearby Library to the Second Library when I'm finished with them - so that they don't go to the same place twice.

+ Pride YMM - I forgot to mention in the entry about the board meeting, but just remembered - they're working on becoming a Registered Charity. Hopefully will happen next year. This is really exciting news, because it'll likely mean it'll be easier to get funding. Also, donations, probably (I know I'm more likely to donate to registered orgs 'cause you can claim it on taxes etc). Anyway, they need to rewrite some of their bylaws first, but it sounds like they have a clear roadmap. Wish I could help, but ha, definitely not my area of expertise.

+ Spent today reading through some stuff about Polish grammar. I now feel as if my brains have turned into sludge. Cases sure are a thing, eh. On the upside, I do feel a bit more confident in the possibility that I can learn how to read Polish eventually. Speak it? No, aside from canned tourist phrases - but then again I can't speak Norwegian either (I can read Norwegian, but not speak it). Anyway... I didn't absorb much of it, but since we're just getting started, I'm not too fussed about that. It did clarify some things that I stumbled over when poking at it on Duolingo, so that was helpful. Can't remember the specifics, but it was case-related, which is not a surprise in hindsight.

+ It's so damn dry over here. In retaliation I've slathered myself in as much moisturiser as possible, and now I feel like a shea-scented slug. There's just no way to win, is there. :V

+ My thoughts on DW's beta inbox and post entry page are "Ew, it looks different". I'll get used to it eventually (and will have to, since it's due to go out of beta soon...ish), and functionally everything seems to be working fine for me, but. It sure does look different. :V

+ I hope you all had a good weekend!
