In fact, I was so joyous that I listened to a HAPPY song in my ice bath, instead of something to get me mentally ready to hang in there, like Metallica.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been obsessed with Attack on Titan lately.  It&#8217;s a really dark, macabre anime about zombie-eque &#8220;Titans&#8221; who attack humans and eat them whole.  <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/roxannemodafferi.net\/RBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/eren-and-collosel-titan.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/roxannemodafferi.net\/RBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/eren-and-collosel-titan-300x187.jpg\" alt=\"eren and collosel titan\" width=\"300\" height=\"187\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-4311\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nIt&#8217;s really graphic, more so that I allow myself to watch.  I like to protect my psyche from harmful images that could disturb me.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/roxannemodafferi.net\/RBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/titan-eating.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/roxannemodafferi.net\/RBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/titan-eating.jpg\" alt=\"titan eating\" width=\"306\" height=\"165\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4312\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I try to close my eyes if I think someone&#8217;ll get chomped, but sometimes it&#8217;s so unexpected, that I catch glimpses of people&#8217;s limbs go flying off or be decapitated. x_x But I love the story.  But it&#8217;s so dark. BUT I MUST KNOW WHAT HAPPENSSSSSSSSSsss.  Why do the Titans look so human?!  What about their weakpoint?!  What is in the basement?!!?! Why does the&#8230;.omg unanswered questions. I&#8217;ve literally been watching it in all my free time, between training and eating and doing chores.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/roxannemodafferi.net\/RBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/levi-and-titan.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/roxannemodafferi.net\/RBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/levi-and-titan-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"levi and titan\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-4313\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Levi is the frigg&#8217;n MAN!!! so cool!! *_*<\/p>\n<p>This morning I watched like from 6 AM to 11:30 with a few breaks.   I finished the 25 episodes that are out! I think the manga is still going on.  And my mood has been super dark and depressive all day. lol ug<\/p>\n<p>Worried about a few friends lately. \ud83d\ude41 <\/p>\n<p>Mentally, Attack on Titan is messing me up.  gah. <\/p>\n<p>Quotes from the show:<br \/>\n&#8220;Spirit doesn&#8217;t always let you win fights.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;You have to be willing to abandon everything in order to win.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;The world is cruel.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;My worst fear is dying in vain, not having helped humanity.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Please tell me I was of some use to humanity.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;The results are always unknown.  I never know if I&#8217;m making the right decisions.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>To make matters worse, I&#8217;m bummed out about my mom.  She&#8217;s moping about the house all day.  She has had a hard time adjusting to our move, and hasn&#8217;t found a job yet.  Man, I can&#8217;t understand because I&#8217;m ultra motivated.  If I had to make a resume, I&#8217;d probably do it in a day or two.  It&#8217;s been months now&#8230;.  And it&#8217;s hard because I can&#8217;t help her.<\/p>\n<p>The water got shut off this morning because a pipe burst.  I&#8217;m like &#8220;whatever&#8221; and went to the store and bought a few gallons to cook with.  She basically couldn&#8217;t sleep because of anxiety, and was fretting all morning.  Mom, just&#8230;geez, go about your business.  It&#8217;s not like Lake Mead dried up&#8230;..<\/p>\n<p>I got a stomach ache after lunch. x_x  went shopping with a friend for knee pads, but still felt crappy.  I taught my kids class with Chris, and that was fun.  I figured out a way to manage the kids.  In the middle of class they  get restless and stop paying attention.  When I taught in Japan, I had TPR movement activities I used, so I decided to mimic my old style.  I had them get up and start doing jumping jacks and run around a bit.  It worked.  They were able to focus on the next activity.<\/p>\n<p>I told myself after the kids class that I&#8217;d take Chaz&#8217; Muay thai class.  I tried warming up on the bag to test out various stuff that hurt, and found that it still hurt a lot. ~_~  Wednesday is usually a day I take off, because I feel beat up from training Monday and Tuesday really hard.  Then I do Mitts with John, and train hard again on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.  Light weights on Sunday.  But John went to corner a teammate, so I felt like a lazy butt&#8230;. <\/p>\n<p>I really really reeaally wanted to try that class, but I think my body needs the day off. I don&#8217;t WANT to give it the day off. ~_~ I ate some crappy stuff today, and I&#8217;m trying to lose weight.  *sigh*<\/p>\n<p>So I went home and felt like sh*t about myself.<\/p>\n<p>Ashlee gave me a valentine! That kind of made my day.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/roxannemodafferi.net\/RBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/valentine-from-Ashlee.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/roxannemodafferi.net\/RBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/valentine-from-Ashlee.jpg\" alt=\"valentine from Ashlee\" width=\"304\" height=\"294\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4316\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week has been up and down.
