2 Steps Forward, One Step Back 2 months ago

Well, thought I’d at least get myself in the black for a month or two. But it seems the Census Bureau had enough people that phase 1 is ending early. I’ve got about 20-30 hours of work left and then I’m done.

In the meantime my car is continuing to wind down, the bills are piling up, and my computer is dead (using one at work right now).

The closest I can come to a silver lining is that my weekends and evenings will be a little freer again for hiking and climbing and that I’ve been extra motivated to get up off my ass and get some resumes out and apply myself at work more.

Darn my tendons! 2 months ago

Think it was a dynamic move on a climb a few weeks back. Didn’t feel anything at the time, but suddenly had pain under my arm when pulling up. The easier wide grip moves seemed to be affected the most. Think it’s the tendon to my lats. Oddly enough it seemed to happen the day after I did a few exercises for strengthening my rotator cuff muscles.

So I’ve been trying to take it easy without slacking off. Not easy as I feel it even with a singe pull up of any type. Still, manage to do 1-3 a set without hurting myself. Haven’t tried typewriters recently (normally part of my evening sets). Will try one or two tonight and see what happens.

Temporarily in the black 2 months ago

I’m doing work for the Census in my off hours. Pays over double my regular job. Would have liked to put more hours in but my work won’t let me adjust my hours. This won’t fly for phase 2 of the Census next year. But for two months I should be able to pay all my bills without help from the family. Hopefully something will come up that will let me work normal hours and meet the bills. Right now I have little time left over for any self improvement.
