One of the most relaxing holidays in a while. I liked it so much I stayed home from work today, and now feel guilty about it.

I drank a lot over the holiday, mostly Jack Daniels. No particular reason for the brand choice, but possibly leftover influence of a Motorhead documentary I watched a couple months ago. Lemmy drinks almost a liter of Jack per day, always mixed with coke, and watching him full up his glasses over and over was nearly hypnotizing. For me, drinking 4 straight days was too much. I’m that kind of person who is either drinking till getting buzzed or more, or not drinking at all. When training seriously I stay on the ‘not at all’ side, and the exceptions are usually birthdays or holidays. After these last few days, I’ve lost a lot of water and I feel unbalanced. I will train tonight for the first time since last Wednesday and need it badly.

Onwards with the writing– it’s getting grueling and brutal and painful and I hate it but I do it.
