grumpybumps.

grumpybumps are not actual, literal, physical bumps. being a grumpybumps means you are just feeling wah. blah. meh. gluhg. and all other sorts of non-word groans that express a negative emotion.

and that is me, on this day.
i awoke 12 minutes before i needed to catch a bus. bag not packed, shower still to be had. and that was if i was going to be late for work. i made it to work, after a brief shower, and it wasn't all that bad. afterwards i got lunch with a good friend of mine, a student i helped orient to the campus for my job earlier this summer, and that was fun. after that i had class, where i saw that i have political science with ten bajillion of my friends! that was hardcore awesome. then i got some work done, ordered what should have been the last of my text books, and from there went to my religion class, took some notes, and well, while i was stressed about workload (and that NONE of my textbooks have showed up yet...), the day wasn't bad up to that point. but THEN--then is when the trouble started. i had to catch a bus to get to my next class, which was on the other side of campus, during rush hour, and i only had 15 minutes. needless to say, it took me about 45 minutes. so i was late for the first day of one of the classes i was most excited for! ugh. oh, and, because i was worried about having too much of a stressload, i had to drop one of the classes i was most excited for, my documentary workshop. (and now, because today is my determined "off day," so i don't go crazy eating healthy ALL the time, i'm sick to my stomach from suddenly stuffing it with Choo Choo's. maybe off days AREN'T the best idea.) for my documentary, i'd been inspired to film the journey i'm on, but it was just going to be too much work with all the research and busywork. in the end, i decided i can get a camera and just start filming now, and go til i get my goal weight, then compile the footage and make a documentary then. viola. who knows, maybe they'll offer the class again next semester. it's nice to see i can still look on the bright side, even when i'm grumpybumps.

i had to switch my religion class to TR, so now i have one class on MWF (well, 2 on weds...), and 3 on TR. what a week! it's now from 5-6:15pm, so it'll be interesting seeing how i'll fit working out into that. maybe all AM workouts, and then just yoga tuesdays with the Katies (W and C). the good side of this switch? well, two things. first, now i won't be late for my leadership course. and, i only missed one day, yesterday, so i won't be behind tomorrow going in. the bad news? i just ordered all the textbooks for the OTHER course. luckily, chegg has a no-questions-asked return policy for 21 days, it's just annoying, because now it'll be even longer before i can do the work. problems, problems.

and today, for the first time in many moons, i got muscle cramps. let it be clear that not only did i have cramps, but i straight up woke up HOT today. i mean, i wasn't sweating, but my overall body temperature was high. and all day i felt overheated--that muscle heat i talked about yesterday? yeah, ALL over. my legs were so stiff! i thought i wasn't gonna make it about halfway through the day. it wasn't a soreness, just a tightness i'm entirely unfamiliar with. comments? ideas about this?

another thing. alright people, let me issue a warning. i'm about to talk about poop. if that makes you uncomfortable, read on, because it's good to get out of your comfort zone. now don't worry, i won't be gross about it, but seriously, it needs to be discussed. first of all, ALL day today i had weird sounds coming from my intestines, and something that felt really weird, like a bubbly pressure under my ribcage that my mother has always told me was gas. ew. for the first few days, i was, erm, very regular about the whole... digestive process. but today i was really.. um, stopped up? i feel like that happens every once and a while, the whole bubbly feeling inside plus constipation. WHAT DOES IT MEAN? i seriously need some help on this. too much fiber? not enough? does it have to do with dairy? too much cheese? ugh, questions, questions. sorry if that grossed you out (sorry, i'm not sorry), but i really need some input from the health people that follow me on here. pweez and thanks.

well, i've rambled on here for a good while and i'm sure you're all tuned out. thanks for the attention if you gave it, you're a real trooper and a good friend. enjoy your evening.
