Trained with Bridget (the forum / Lasu researcher) from beltchecker here. She came into my school and attended Judo then she proceeded to beat me up for a round or 2. She was very nice, and always nice to meet folks and share our love of jiu-jitsu and judo!
I sincerely hope to meet more of you folks at camps and in general. I'm moving to Atlanta GA in June and excited to check out schools down there and continue my journey!

Squeezed in some s&c before nightshift. Now just came from shift at 6 in the morning (have to go for 3 more shifts until off duty for a week).... nightshift was easier 20 years ago..... nowadays in my mid 40s I kind of feel beeing in a bubble sometimes or I am confused what day we actually have... have a great day everybody, going to sleep now

Good Morning,
Woke up sore as all hell. Iced this morning before coming to work as usual but did two icing sessions instead of my usual. Did 20 mins on 10 mins off and repeated the 20 mins on.
Now just at work looking at the forum. The weather is getting much better around here. Rainy season getting ready to explode for sure. Lol
Hope you all have a great day.

Somehow it’s ranked #4 on Netflix at the moment.
Somehow the Kardashians are popular too. I don't get it.
Somehow they picked Trump for the leader of the U.S.A. I really, really don't get it.
The world is a weird place.

He lies. I'm a total bitch.
It was nice to meet you too, John! I'll be back for more punishment in a few weeks.

Funny story about the "bear chasing" meme (above): I took some extensions on my fall 2019 classes due to pregnancy complications. Didn't finish one of my final papers till 8/7/20. I didn't hear back from the teacher but I'm friends with him on FB.
When I posted the meme on social media a few days ago, he messaged me to say he loved it. One week later and now the final paper is graded and the class is complete on my transcript.
Guess that meme spoke to him. :-D

She lies. After our roll, she made me cry, then said something about taking my belt.
She's so mean! :)

Been having some extreme tightness in my right psoas muscle. Spending the day between stretching it and then walking seems to have done the trick.

I am a completely broken man physically. Besides the ongoing back issues (had back surgery), I have neck herniations, right shoulder is destroyed (I'll tap if you look at it funny), fingers, right knee and ankles. Oh and both my top ribs on either side are pretty much pop anytime put any kind of pressure on them. Other than that I'm in mint condition, and by mint I mean old as shit. Lol Luckily I have accepted all this as a reality of aging and continue to train with a healthy dose of humble pie. The way I see it most guys my age are finished and I still have more mileage to gain.

Rain day at work (construction) so no one went out to the jobsites. I'll probably knock out some paperwork and then spend the rest of the day switching between beltchecker, facebook and watching some of my bjj stuff I have here at work. Planning on going to Hot/Cold Immersion therapy tonight. Can't wait to do the cold plunge again. It really makes a difference with inflammation and of course mental toughness. The water is .03 deg celcius so it is very challenging.

A friend from class (he's on BeltChecker --- https://beltchecker.com/user/jim) is really into bonsai trees. I've never owned one before. On 3/12 we visited a bonsai nursery in the area and he helped me pick out an itoigawa juniper and a crabapple.
On Friday he helped me wire my itoigawa juniper. He swore a lot (which he insisted was only his normal amount of swearing) and scowled a lot and said I did a shitty job and to not tag him with it on Instagram because he doesn't want his mentor to see it. :-D :-D :-D
Today I tweaked it a little bit. Here it is.
It's probably not the world's greatest bonsai (I don't have an artistic bone in my body), but I'm just relieved that I've had it for 2+ weeks and it's not dead (yet!).

Tried a session of cryotheraphy with wifey. Jumped into the standing chamber at -180ºC in my skivvies for around 3 mins. Will need to do a few more sessions to help the body mend the bumps and sproinks that has been accumulated over the past x-years.

Did not go to work today. Stayed home because my back and knee are bugging me. Been laying on the floor, icing and walking around every 20mins. Took advantage of the time to convert some family videos. Mostly of my sons when they were little and stuff.
Hope you all had a great day.

Off duty time after 7 days of nightshift and still not finding back to the normal biorhythm.... it takes me more than 3 days to find back to the normal „day mode“.
On the positive site I could chill with the family in our garden, as the kids have Easter holidays and no school or homeschooling (although we can’t travel anywhere; everything is closed here because of lockdown). Weather was amazing though, so I did some gardening, lawnmowing, cutting hedges, did a paintjob on an old, used motorbike rear fender I want to build in my classic scrambler next weekend. In the evening I enjoyed a brew and now laying awake and not able to sleep , as I am still in nightshift mode.....

Mom passed away the 25th. I made myself go to class for the first time since she went into the hospital a week or two back. It felt good and for awhile things felt right again.

Thanks brother, it’s been rough. I had moved back home to help take care of her a few years back. We got closer than we had ever been. I still catch myself starting to call her at lunchtime.

One day at a time brother.
