You were a gymnast! Surely they work hard.
K played college level hockey and tried out for the olympics. Surely the work hard too.
I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

Crab crawling! ARGH!
Crab crawling is a good time to suddenly realize you have to go to the bathroom. Very easy to slip out for two minutes. [ETA: Also good for the "wheelbarrow" races.]

Yeah, but she's not afraid of it! I wasn't impugning her toughness (at all), just wondering that krav traingin would be on a different order of difficulty from competitive gymnastic training.

“Not dead yet!”
Much ~ma to msbelle.
Also, gronk. Got home from the doctor's a couple of hours ago and promptly fell asleep. Stupid blood draw. At least Lewis fed me before I face-planted.
Diagnosis is straight up iron deficiency anemia. So now I get to try taking an iron supplement with a chaser of vitamin C daily. The real fun will be in seeing if I can tolerate it. The iron is going to be in liquid form first. If that doesn't work, then we'll try pills. If that doesn't work, then we'll do the one shot iron IV which is easier, because it's once, but it's a) a six hour procedure and b) carries some risk.
Let's hope I can tolerate the liquid form.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Good luck with the iron absorption, Barb.
Birthday happies for Dana and Ellie!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Krav can't be harder than gymnastics. Basically because I managed it. But when you get an adrenaline rush off something it makes it a lot easier.
Between K and a kettlebell discussion I had on LJ, I'm very sad about my failing body.
Barb, pulling for liquid form for you. Do you have a reason to think you might not be able to tolerate it.
Got feedback on my two interviews. The one I thought went well...they are a little worried I don't have as much industry-specific knowledge as they'd hoped. And yesterday's trauma? "Definitely still in the running for one of the open positions."
So I have no idea, really. I just want a job. And breakfast--I should see to that.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Barb, if you drink your iron supplements with Black Sabbath playing full blast on your stereo, while screaming "I AM IRON (WO)MAN!!", it will actually improve your body's ability to absorb iron. It's a proven fact.
