A lot.  I wrote and wrote and wrote all morning!  I even went to a cafe and wrote, so I wouldn&#8217;t be distracted by the internet.  I focused so hard.  When I got back home, I Skyped with my friend Tony, and he gave me an hour and a half microbiology lesson tied in with lifting advice.  It was sooooo interesting!  :O  My brain hasn&#8217;t been this stimulated in a while.  u_U We discussed exercises for every major athletic muscle in the body from head to foot&#8230;well, I had to quit after we finished &#8216;arms.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s probably why I couldn&#8217;t take a nap. ^^;; I lay down a few times, but sleep wouldn&#8217;t come.  My mind kept spinning and working.  I watched a few episodes of One Piece where they first met Luffy&#8217;s grandfather, and I was shocked when they told us who Luffy&#8217;s father was&#8230;.I had a suspicion, no I was POSITIVE, it was this one guy because they had the same smile, but I was wrong? But I&#8217;m behind in the series, so don&#8217;t tell me.  I wonder where Luffy&#8217;s mother is&#8230;.she was never in flash backs. I guess I&#8217;ll find out eventually.<\/p>\n<p>So I went shopping around for a pumpkin to carve.  I visited about 7 flower shops in Kawasaki, and at the 2nd one in Omori, I FOUND ONE! XD  I&#8217;m so happy and relieved.  Forty bucks!!  I&#8217;m gonna carve it and put it at the office next week. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>I was soooo tired from walking around lugging my training gear for over an hour. ^^;;<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I trained at the AACC! \ud83d\ude00<br \/>\n It seems like every time I reach my limit and I&#8217;m about to go home, Hitomi asks me to spar.  Why does that always happen? x_x; I hope she doesn&#8217;t think I&#8217;m avoiding her.<\/p>\n<p>This was the second time I did grappling\/MMA after my fight.  It&#8217;s still hard.  :\/ I still get flash backs.  A fighter isn&#8217;t &#8220;okay&#8221; so easily- if they say they are, they&#8217;re probably lying to you so that you don&#8217;t worry.   I appreciate the sentiment, of course, but instead of asking &#8220;Are you feeling better after your loss?&#8221; you could say something like, &#8220;I hope you&#8217;re doing well,&#8221; or &#8220;I hope you&#8217;re recovering well&#8221; or something along those lines.<\/p>\n<p>Just for reference.  But of course, I won&#8217;t be hearing that much longer.<\/p>\n<p>Right now my body is weak. I know this.  NOT FOR FSKING LONG~!!! <\/p>\n<p>That being said, here is the &#8216;confused umbrella&#8217; I mentioned on twitter.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/roxannemodafferi.net\/RBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/penguin-duck.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/roxannemodafferi.net\/RBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/penguin-duck.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"penguin duck\" width=\"387\" height=\"518\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1094\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nIs it a penguin?  Is it a duck? Is it a penguin on the outside and then when it comes out of the case, it becomes a duck?  Is it schizo? Even it doesn&#8217;t know.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m going to work out with Max again today!  I am determined&#8230;.not&#8230;.to lose my notebook this time. lol<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday morning, I worked on my book chapter outlines. A lot.
