In order to get my knee back to normal, I took today off the gym. Since tomorrow was a pre-planned rest day, I thought this would work out. I started off having a bad day. I woke up with a bunch of fluid in my knee still, even after icing/heating it last night. I went to Schnucks and bought an icy/hot knee sleeve to help with the swelling. I live and die by IcyHot and Tiger Balm.
LOVE THAT STUFF!!
So, I'm pulling into the parking lot and SPLOOSH!! My gallon of water (yes, it was completely full) flies onto the floor of the passenger seat and is dumping all the water on the floorboard. I threw it in park (still crooked) and got out of the car to pick it up. I swear every person in the parking lot was hard staring. Haven't you people ever seen when someone spills shit in their car? They were probably staring because of the motherfuckcuntbitchassshit I was saying.
After leaving Schnucks, having to purchase not only the IcyHot, but a brand new jug of water, I was happy to go have some sister time. My sister did my makeup and it just felt like we were little kids. Too bad when we were little we would punch each other if we ever got that close!
She did a really good job!! It's dramatic, but that's what I need on stage. Of course my skin will be a lot darker too.
So, after that, I came home and had lunch: 4 oz of chicken with 1 oz of cheese melted on top (oh ya, I'm getting craaaazy) and a green bell pepper. I sat on the patio and worked on my suit again. Here's the finished product:
I like the simpleness of the top. I should add a lot more crystals, but I just don't want to be that flashy. I started to do more crystals and then decided against it. I scrapped off most of the glue. You can't really tell. There's a little bit of a residue, but barely noticeable. I still need to figure out the bottoms. I'll probably work on those tomorrow.
I successfully figured out how to put on false eyelashes. It helped to cut them in sections then apply them. I feel more confident about putting them on myself. AND, I re-pierced my own ears tonight. I haven't worn earrings in like 6 months. My ears will close if I don't have something in them (even for one day...and I've learned that I'm not the only one who has this problem). So, I look all dolled up in my fake lashes, sparkly studs, and nowhere to go...except the bathroom because peeing 2 gallons of water is all I do these days! :)
I scheduled boarding for my dogs and my mum's dog. I think they will be ok at the place I chose. They seemed clean and very friendly. The girl I talked to on the phone owns 3 pitbulls so she was happy to meet Lexi :)
Tomorrow is a busy day, actually. Peak Week is in full force--high intake of protein, veggies, and more water. No oatmeal, no carbs, low sodium. It's going to be hard, but well worth it in the end. I just need to trust the process. I'm doing pretty well with my water intake, but the one thing I'm not doing well with is looking at my belly. I know it's just a water belly, and once I start the dehydration process, I'll see my abs again. I googled water belly and found the perfect picture to represent how I'm feeling: big and green.
I read a good article about Peak Week that I'll share tomorrow. I'm meeting up with my mum tomorrow to get some clear swimsuit hooks for my suit. I also need to buy a large, comfy pair of dark sweatpants and a dark zip up (for my tan to set). I have to do all of this while also going to work for a couple of hours to clean out my desk and wrap up some last minute things since the new girl starts on Monday.
Time to eat...and pee again. Good night!!
