Jess I Am

I went to practice last Thursday and was fine until the 5th time my shoulder pad slammed into the left side of my chest.. Holy Hell that hurt. I saw stars for a minute and swore I was going to fall over. I’ve come to realize that I am still way too tender to be taking hits or hitting anyone else yet. I’ve talked to the team owner, and we’ve decided that I will have an IR roster spot. This way, I can still practice (no hitting), work out and be a member of the team at team events and games, but without the upper body contact and pain. I like this idea because hopefully I will get into shape and be able to play next season. Or at least get into shape

The one thing that sux is that I won’t be able to travel to some of the away games, like Houston or Toledo unless I pay for myself to fly there and stay in a hotel. I may fly to Houston and stay with my cousin and make my family go to the game to route for Tina and the rest of the team

I may be @ssed out for Toledo, unless I can fly there and stay with Tina’s cousin Monica.. **hint hint**.

We’ll see.

I have never had much upper body strength, and post surgery, after being so inactive for so long, my muscles are all so limp. Due to the size and weight of my previous upper body, I have never been able to do a real push-up, and even struggled with “girl” push-ups. My mission is to be able to do real, formed, and multiple push-ups by the end of the summer. I’ve started working on it at home already and I am really hoping to accomplish this. I want to build up my arms and back, and this may require me actually going to the gym, since all I have in terms of weights at home are Jeremie’s 10 lb dumbbells. LOL. I don’t think that’ll do it. I wish we had the space for a weight bench somewhere in the house. …sigh…

Last night I worked out in our bedroom. I used the dumbbells, did some sit-ups and leg exercises. I stretched alot before and after. It felt great. I’m practicing doing push-ups on an incline for now and doing negatives to try and build up to a real push-up. I feelt it in my shoulders, arms, back and @ss today. LOL

I need to find a personal trainer that won’t charge me an arm and a leg.

What else is new? Work has been boring for months.. really slow. This is the first week we’ve actually had heavier volume and I’ve been busy. I even have a project to work on. Joy!

I miss my girl. I feel like I haven’t seen her or spent any one on one quality time with her in months. We’ve been so damn broke we haven’t had any dates, beside the double dates with Packie and Bill which were so fun. Just no romantic-just-my-baby-and-me-dates. I can’t wait until we get caught up on finances so we can go away for a weekend.

Plans are in the works for us to go to Cali to visit Nicki and Andrea in November and go to Palm Springs Pride! I’m hoping to get a few days off to do that.. maybe even a week if Nicki and Andrea wouldn’t be completely sick of us. I’ve never been to Cali, and though I know this won’t be the last time, I want to enjoy it and make it a vacation rather than a rush trip. We’ll be going out there again for the Dinah Shore weekend.

It’s been nice to not have to run the A/C in the house except for one day. Hopefully this cooler weather lasts a little longer.

The car needs a brake job, like yesterday and two front tires. Ay ay ay… when will we win powerball and be rid of this debt and all of these expenses? I am hoping to be able to afford to get the brakes done this week because it’s dangerous to drive that way, not to mention will only get more and more costly to fix. …sigh…

I started taking a homeopathic medicine for anxiety. I’ve already run out of the first bottle. I think it may have been working. Not really sure yet.

I miss my mother. Gotta get up to see her soon. She called me yesterday, I will return her call a little later on.

———-

Ok I’m out. Later.
