An obscenity of a day

If I had an ounce of energy I would get a thesaurus and use it to find new and interesting words to describe how incredibly SUCKY this day was. This was the most boring shift I have ever worked at the store, and it was stressful on top of it. The crowds of people were overwhelming, and I was in a state of high-anxiety for hours on end. Not to mention that each hour actually lasted for three and I was trapped in the store for a day and a half in some sort of temporal rift that distorted time and sucked you into a torturous hell dimension where you could only stand in one spot and look at people to make sure they weren't stealing. Seriously, if there was a hell, it should make days like today a specialty. I was home an hour and my head was still buzzing. Tho in spite of it all there were 4 things about today that I would say were good: 1. an email from B that started my day off with laughter. 2. seeing J who used to work in our dept and who hasn't seen me in a long time and was amazed at how I look. 3. getting a compliment from G in HT about the weight I've lost. and 4. getting the Ultimate DDR Dance mat on sale for a great price. It's regularly $54, but today it was $19. Considering how much time I spend doing DDR, I definitely thought it worth it to get this DDR mat with the foam padding. I'm hoping the cushion will help absorb the shock of the jumps especially, as I just reintroduced them yesterday, having stopped using jump moves back when my back was so painful all the time. It still gets sore, but I'm not having pain anywhere near like I did, so I wanted to see how it would go. If things keep going well for another week or two, I'm going to start doing that exercise with the free weights again that I stopped because it seemed to aggravate the back problem. I was tempted not to exercise but I tried out the new mat for a little bit, then I did my free weights, so I'm proud. Looking forward to bed.

Earned 5 APs today: 15 min low-intensity DDR, 60 min free weights
