So I have been away for a minute...

I have been feeling a little ill over the past 3 days. I have had an extremely heavy cough followed by bouts of mucous spitting and a really sore throat. On the first day I was nurtured by my kitty kat who gave me tea with honey which went down real smooth. Of course you must be wondering if I went to work on either of these 2 days and the answer is...NOPE. I called in sick Sunday and Monday and I must say it felt great to just relax. Now being "sick" or "dis"eased is not ever a good time and Im not the type to lay in bed all day so I spent monday pretending to do school work, and straightening up, downloading music, and watching Law and Order season one. Went back to work yesterday and everyone was doing the usual, "are you ok?" which to me is really like, "were you really sick?" Anyway, Yesterday was a slow, slow day. Filled with minimal phone calls and a lame workout on my break due to a lack of motivation on my part. After work, I met up with Nessa at the gym where we did some basic exercises, and sat in the steam room for about 20 minutes. Then it was home and off to bed after some late night post-workout snacks and chit chat.
I almost forgot about Saturday night we went to Bubba Gumps in Long beach and it was pretty good. I definitley enjoyed the sampler and the tempura. service was pretty quick too. After dinner, we were off to Cal State Long Beach to watch the shaolin monks. The show was honestly fantastic. These guys were swift like the wind and showcased some of the finest warrior showmanship I have ever seen. I was extremely captivated especially at the young monks in action who competed each move with practically excellent form! then there was a part where the monks invited some of the younger audience members on stage and showed them some moves. Out of nowhere, one of the boys executing the moves yells out, "soy sauce!" the crowd including myself exploded with laughter. It was a great night all in all! Anyway...today has been long and drawn out and im ready to go. Today Archie and I completed our second rendition of the 300 workout. 25 pull ups, 25 reps bench press w/ 185 lbs, 25 hanging knee raises, 50 walking lunges w/ 45 lbs dumbells in each arm 9thats 25 lunges per leg) 25 reps of seated military press, 25 reps reverse grip bench press w/ 135 lbs, 50 body weight squats, 50 4 count flutter kicks, and 25 deadlifts w/ 135 lbs. finish time:18:53...
