I’ve started going back to the gym, because I no longer desire to look like…this. My fiance has been going since January to meet with her personal trainer, who is an absolutely lovely and a joy to be around. She was more than happy to include me once a week while the fiance goes three times a week. There was a good amount of trepidation because I can remember being in pretty good shape. And then all that other life stuff kicked in. Stress, time, depression, mounting injuries, and other stuff that made me, well, scared to go back.
So I didn’t go back to the gym. For about between 15 to 20 years. At the urging of my partner, I decided to drag myself back. I’ve been feeling better about going, but we finally started doing something I haven’t really been looking forward to. The bench press. I can remember, in a younger life, that my max press(one rep) was 225 lbs. That was good. I was proud of that. It’s hard to keep being positive when you know you’ve lost so much muscle mass, and that you’re afraid of hurting yourself. Nerve damage, in my case.
My trainer, I’m really happy that she helped me get over that fear and start doing that again. I was also happy to know that, while 135 lbs max press isn’t where I used to be, I was afraid it was going to be so much less. She didn’t let me give up, even when I was about to myself. After I was able to get the bar back onto the rack, she looked at me and said “I am not letting you get out of this that easy. Not going to disrespect you like that.”
That meant a lot to hear. I feel good about what I did today.

Good on you for doing something that makes you feel better! Remember non-scale victories are the best victories.

Trying hard not to cry because people are so nice. I brought my brother’s service dog to a Starbucks so he could get out, and I could get some work done while I’m here. Levi (service dog) is the well trained, but he did jump up when I accidently gave the command my brother uses when he wants Levi to give his wallet to the cashier. Not perfect service dog behavior. Totally embarrassed, I got a drink and he got a pupcup and I went to put it down so he could go outside and eat it. (His training forbids eating/drinking inside anywhere but his home.)
Of course, I’m clumsy, so I spill my drink EVERYWHERE. Poor Levi is confused and his training breaks and so he barks. The amazing people here tell me it’s okay and clean everything up while I take him outside to calm down and eat his cup.
It would be SO EASY for them to go, “Nope, NOPE NOPE NOPE.” on him coming back in after that. Especially since he isn’t MY mobility dog, but brother’s. (We take him with us into public to help keep up his training since brother’s disability makes this continued training hard.) But they didn’t. They got me a new drink and didn’t bat an eye at him.

happy random confession from tired me:
there are pages and pages of puns on accounting online. I keep one opening at all times. I’m truly happy it exists.

So are we talking accountant - accountant or TikTok accountant?

Double post because I don’t believe in double post rules (nor drinking water when told to). I’m in my last week at the current job and it’s so freeing. The director likes to scream at my department in meetings. Today is meeting. I thought about it and was like, “Nah, I’m going to pass today.” Which got sort of a blink of confusion. This led to, “I’m out in three days. Why would I want to spend one of them in a meeting getting yelled at about something I can’t change that has passed, or something that will be happening when I’m not here? In fact, since that was all left on my calendar. I’m going to head out for the day and use some of my vacation time left. Have a great day, see you tomorrow.”
Then I booked a massage for the day after my last day. I’m telling you, I should have bit the bullet and did this a year or two ago.
Also, thank you for letting me share that here. Carry on.

@RightMeow The final fuck-all-y’all days of a job are so sweet.
-
To be fair, I did actually utter the phrase: Is that insubordination? Isn’t that a 3 day suspension? I’m willing to play the odds and take it.

When an accountant gets a new door, they adjust their entry.
