I skipped working out today. I went to get my third shot this morning, and the arm is... not really sore, but it feels very tired.

Tomorrow I'll feel better, I guess...

I also had a call at the last minute. Tomorrow, I'm supposed to take a psychological test for the job I'm applying for since the internship. I'm stunned, I was not expecting for that to happen, but oh well, I guess I must take it. I guess it makes sense, but I feel it's a bit much. I'm just glad I didn't plan things for tomorrow, but I had to change up things a bit...

Anyway, I'm going to try to write some flash fiction before bed. I need to get up early tomorrow. As I said, no workout, just the routines. Since my arm wasn't bothering as bad as the other two shots, I managed to squeeze in the night routine without trouble.

Glad the third shot went well.

Damnit... Not a horrible day, but very stressful.

A psychological test... Yeah, right. It was a job interview, and it could have gone better. The worst part is that I didn't do anything for it to go wrong. It's their fault for forcing everyone to have a very specific CV up to the point that it's so empty it no longer qualifies as a CV. They removed some of the stuff I put there, and now they are asking why I removed it when it was them whom did it. It blows my mind what happened. In the end, they appreciated me because I had a good set of skills, but they require the stuff that they deleted now.

I feel like I cancelled things this morning for nothing. An entire morning wasted, I guess. I haven't given up on that yet, but what they did was a very rude.

To top it all off, there was a powercut on the afternoon, and the university is confusing us with many messages. I planned for things on Tuesday, and now I must go to university to put myself on a census and check what papers to I need in addition to what I owe. I was going to get the only thing I was missing of on Tuesday itself, and then the next week, I have to go there again. What's the point to have one of us working as a link between us and university then? Those errands are their job, and now they are as confused as the rest of us.

I ate bad today. No breakfast, lots of sugar... My arm still hurts, but it wasn't difficult to do Qi Gong. I'll do Burpees tomorrow.

I only managed to write because I took my notebook with me.

Ok, I can't keep writing, so I'm going to bed now.

I'm very tired... It's been a cold day, and I didn't work out a lot. But, at least, I did Burpees. My arm is fully healed now, so I can get back to the usual.

I'm not feeling good, so I decided to skip all workouts this weekend. At noon, yesterday, I started to feel dizzy all of the sudden, and I've been dizzy ever since. I woke up feeling better today, but I'm still dizzy.

Nevertheless, I managed to do the DD. I didn't do the challenge because I didn't even try. I'll make up for it today, and if I'm feeling better tomorrow, I'll do Death by Burpees to compensate, plus I want to do the two workouts of the day that went on this weekend: Ring of Fire and Push, Squat, Repeat.

For now, I'll just rest. I'm not even going to try and do yoga. In fact, I tried to do 10 Squats yesterday, and started to feel worst after. I'm just doing the DD and the challenge.

I don't know why I feel dizzy. It could be from the sudden rise of temperature (it was very cold one and rainy one night, and suddenly, the sun was scorching hot the next day), or that I'm not drinking enough water. It can be both, because today is not as hot as yesterday, plus I think I drank a gallon of water last night and started to feel better...

Take it slowly then, no point in exhausting yourself!

I'm feeling better, but I didn't train.

I spent the entire day handwriting and I was going to do more tonight, but now I only want to sleep.

Doing good with your writing, really! I am impressed.

**Sólveig** · May 31, 2022, 02:02 AM

Two and a half major victories today: I completed the Daily Abs challenge, and I managed to survive Death by Burpees at LVL III, which gives me a total of 200 Full Burpees in one workout! I wasn't as tired as I thought I was going to be, nevertheless, I didn't do anything after. And I danced a little bit before starting.

The half major victory is that I have my notebook almost full, meaning that I'm almost done with the first out of five episodes of a series I'm writing. I only have 30 pages left, which is something around 3300 words or more, judging by my handwriting and the size of the notebook. That gives me enough space for one or two final scenes and it's over. The core of the episode is already done, I'm just tying up loose ends before starting the next. Tomorrow, I'll finish it, and since I'll have some waiting time in the morning, I think I'll start transcribing as soon as I'm done, and also, picking up the next notebook.

If anyone is interested, I'm using a notebook that has 48 sheets of paper, which gives a total of 96 pages. Dimensions are 15.8 x 20 cms. It's small, but with the right handwriting, it can fit more than 10K, so you can write an entire novelette on it.

So far, everything's going well, though I find myself in the need of going back more than once. I think I need more than just the notebook, and have some sort of miniature corkboard in which I can put my (Chekhov's) guns, and important descriptions... say X character has a tattoo, or something. Well, I'll figure it out upon the next episode. Nothing that a bit of reading and editing can fix.

I haven't counted my words, but I'm pretty sure it's more than 350, 500 and 200.

I was pretty worried that this story was going to be a derivative of a videogame that I like, but thankfully, it acquired its own identity very quick. I may need to work out some stuff, but like I said, it's nothing a bit of reading and editing can fix.

Handwriting suits me. With notebooks this cheap and small, episodical novel writing feels like a breeze. I'm going to invest in three more notebooks later in a few weeks to try to do the same, but in English this time. Maybe this way I can lengthen a story that started as a short, but I feel it needs to be an entire novel.

Anyway, going to bed now. I'll be doing Easy Abs next month... and if all goes perfectly, 30 Days of Gravity will fit next month too.
