The nice thing about journalling on this site is how unlike a fair lot, you can go back and edit what you type and submissions appear in an instant.

This site is a distraction if I pitch hopes on listeners, *DA has always been a distraction w/it's art sure, but it's suffered since the shift to the 'Eclipse' interface, even when it comes to searching and search results, I swear =_=
*Pinterest is starting to look good to me for art, at long last.
On psychforum 'you better know what you're doing' since there is no 'take backs' to edit and expecting it to appear can take a while. Expect even less attention over there if that's what you seek for whatever reason.

Baring w/my cousin watching dumb 'adult animated sitcoms' during our final days of Netflix access
I'm suppose to find this relevant in a few months Thirtysomething Opening and Closing Credits and Theme Song - YouTube and a stupid cynical part of me says that a 'remake' of such a title premise is a semi-modified version of 'Bojack horseman'

Once in either '18 or '19 I went paid for a visit to an physiotherapist (I think it was, in terms of their job title). No injuries or such but I did it more out of curiosity for 'what I could get out of it' in my default 'active enough' state to see what comments might come out of it*.
I realize how disrespectful and uncourteous this might sound but there was a jock** vibe to the person who was probably a 20-something like myself..
I didn't really like the session tbh even though I will admit that the 'you lift w/your neck, not your chest' comment is still relevant in the grannd scheme of things to work on..the fact that at the end he chuckled while saying ~'we'll figure out why you move so robotically' was off-putting.
I remember drawing relevant stick figures of the exercises I was reccomended, something which I've since 'lost' in the sense that I don't know where it is but I know it wasn't disposed of and is somewhere among the old notebooks etc, I have but which I seldom find the motivation AND time to seek out.
*now I realize that what I wanted to hear was something which could more likely come from gym trainer..that idea got dashed and put on the shelf since 'the March breaking'
** 'chad', 'd--bag', 'meathead' are alternative phrases, differently dated but all have a similar undertone of disparaging, angry cadence
___
'_' What annoys me is this..if those reccomended exercises were to correct 'lackings' which I've had in my physicality/movements throughout my life or at least since my teens, whence could I, when do I know, w/all my lack quasi-kinesiological know-how in an age of gym lockdowns that I'm good enough to move on to something else like say this ?..
"Monday & Thursday (Chest, Shoulders, Triceps) Rest 90 seconds between sets focus on Tension and contraction in the muscles.
Bench press – 5 sets of 6 reps
Shoulder Press 4 x 10-12 Incline
Bench press 4 x 10-12 reps
Weighted/Dips 4 x 10 Super setted with Wide Pushup Hold.
Lateral Raises Supersetted with Front Raises 4 x 12 each
Tricep push downs/Diamond Pushups 4 x 10
Band Rotations 3 sets of 10 each side"
[modified howsoever to be less equipment dependent]
..and try other things b/c I have the guarantee that the lackings which the physiotherapist pointed out to have been perpetualy undone ?.
Work in ~40
At around 7:30 p.m. EST. I'm in the car while in a parking lot of a discount store of sorts, installation persons putting in a glass door. Maybe ~10 minutes later, the glass door breaks. Thankfully no one is hurt.

One of the take-aways from almost being robbed last month is how irl you cannot rely on 'your hype music' for such a d--n scenario to play in your mind and it's not only b/c of the brevity btw the recoginizing danger and the possibility of deceptive weapon concealment revealing itself.

Obstacles in booking an appointment
(i) parents who are resistant to the thought of vaccination not the least due to following conspiratorial streams of thought since this all began =_= >_<
(ii) co-ordinating when to book an appointment..=_= `_` I friggin resent how it's come done to me doing this so furitively..
"You will book both your first appointments and second vaccination appointments at the same time. After you get your first vaccination, you will be given an appointment reminder card with the date and time for your second appointment. If you need to cancel your appointment, if you booked online, please follow the steps outlined above. If you booked over the phone, call.." --from website of the city I reside in
The phone line a coworker contacted says that *the city* is giving the vaccine to those who live in her postal code area (same one as mine) and recognizes that area as 'a hotspot' but *the province* doesn't (which is why I currently can't book online*).
It took them dozens of calls and being sent to be hung-up until finally being able to speak w/someone to settle on an appointment date.
Ideally I'd (esp.after reading a ~'things to do before your appointment' PDF article) have it done tomorrow while off from work under the pretext of 'just going out to bike' and not returning for a fair amount of time as I've been apt to do occasionaly long bike-arounds instea of my hour long lunch, specific to Thursday.
The problem is how schedules have only been formed up until next week as I type, even though I'm checking in.
*..maybe after the 24th they will (?) `_` ..

Not a Muslim but I find it noteworthy to keep track of when Ramadan begins and ends b/c it's possibly one of the few *nonsecular rituals adhered to on a massive scale of millions wherein ppl began with an abnegation of their usual appetites 'in commeration of a higher purpose', go on w/teir daily struggles as they otherwise would and end on a celebratory note..this time, 'a 2nd time' whilst in the midst of a globally recognized pandemic even affecting the nonpractioners who are all more interconnected w/them 'like them or not' w/the internet, social media and all the ripple effects it shouldn't take bitter public health scenes to highlight.
* a 'secular equivalent' being something like following global level sports competitions
-short story work-away ?
-read certain chapter of Kostner book out loud
-exercise some more
-go over 'Brillant' site content
..
even I do choose YouTube what videos would time best be spent on ?. I dread getting upet and frustrated watching 'economics explained' ones or getting carried away by others for that matter.

We will see whether work will adjust itself around me regarding a possible second shot on ~9-3rd or will otherwise msg them.
