ETA: forgot i played tennis on sunday. don't think it had anything to do with why i was so dead last night, though.
anyway, sunday:
WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: none
MENTAL STATE: good
- tennis x ~75 mins
rusty but not catastrophically so. got up a good sweat, was huffing a bit on some long rallies. my dad may not be too quick anymore (makes sense at 64) but he can yank me around the court if he gets into a rhythm.
- stretch
then 6/1:
WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: right forearm
ACHES/INJURIES: none
MENTAL STATE: dead
- warm up
- ME DLRVJ
lol no. this was not happening today. could barely touch the rim off SVJ, legs felt like lead, so tired.
- depth jumps @18" x 4,4
glacial
- rudiment hops
fuck it. terrible workout. i slept badly last night but that's not enough to explain the shittiness. oh well. better luck tomorrow.

Finally got my shit together and just submitted my first application for an overseas job. This one happens to be in Jakarta. I'm not super well-qualified on paper (although I do think I'd do well if I got it, and it's a cool-sounding job) so I don't have my hopes too high but it's good to just get the ball rolling on something that I've been dreaming about and talking about since I was a teenager. That wanderlust and need to work abroad before I settle down is what drove a wedge between my now-ex and I. She is firmly planted and I just can't be yet. Anyway, we'll see what happens.

raptor, the way you describe yourself makes you sound depressed. if you're not, that's great! i obviously don't know.
and yeah it was clear that you weren't comparing your situation to mine. i think it's just an accident of timing.

also, in fairness to raptor, my guess from over here on the other side of the internet is that he's clinically depressed. that shit sucks and is real. so while it's hard to read about this woman-idea that he fantasizes about and pines for, i also can't judge him for the way he's feeling.
in comparison, i am merely grieving and very sad. there is a gigantic, gaping chasm between that and true depression.

today in unexpected consequences of grief: my appetite has gone down. i've made myself the same breakfast 5-7 days a week* for probably 4 years: a smoothie made from frozen strawberries and blueberries, two scoops of WPC, a spoonful of peanut butter (used to use yogurt but i like PB better), water, and a banana. it's a great breakfast. this morning, for the first time that i can remember, i couldn't finish it. i tried, it tasted good, but i was just plain full and i poured about 1/3 of it down the drain.
MattA, i admit to having had the thought, "well, i guess i can finally find out what online dating and tinder and stuff is like." but honestly (1) my libido is nonexistent right now, i'm not sure i could get it up even if i found myself in an insane porno scenario where a hot woman was basically forcing herself on me,** and (2) it's way too soon, the very thought makes me feel sick. i'm still stuck on the fact that i won't see her or do the things i was hoping to do with her this weekend. in time, i guess.
*except when i'm on the road, obviously
**it's funny because while we were together i would fantasize about other women all the time -- an old colleague who is literally my physical archetype for hotness, that one hot bartender at that bar, whoever -- and all of that is gone right now. i literally can barely think about sex.

i'm grieving, man. not depressed, but sad. i feel loss in a way that i did not anticipate and that i can't remember feeling before, although this isn't the first time i've ended a long-term relationship it's definitely the end of my longest and most intimate one. this sucks. i'm sure it will fade, i hope it fades, but right now it just sucks so much.
off to the gym, let's see how it goes.
EDIT:
WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: none
MENTAL STATE: unprecedentedly shitty, CNS dead
- warm up
tons of layups and drop steps as usual but i couldn't even do full-speed layups. so slow.
- squat 285 x 5,3,1,3,5
meh
- stretch
pretty much all i could muster tonight. no motivation at all.

a parasite in something i ate or drank. no idea what. i usually end up with what one of my colleagues calls "loose movements" over there but that was the worst full-blown diarrhea.

haha the only time people have noticed weight loss in my face is after i was in afghanistan for three weeks a few years ago and i lost 8-10 pounds from nonstop diarrhea. only time i've had hemorrhoids, too, from all the shitting and wiping. sucked. i think i was 166 when i got home. even my NECK was skinnier, and it's not like a carry a lot of fat there as it is.

yeah it's not a break in our relationship, just a break in communication to give ourselves time to adjust to being away from each other. i don't think either of us wants to never speak to the other again, we still love each other, it's just that we want/need different things right now.
