Down with a sickness

So I finally caught the cold that has been flying around lately.  I am trying to prepare for the 3 days of crap, and will be stocking up on some OJ to get me through the weekend.  Needless to say, I did not make it to the gym for a weigh in, and although I have managed to avoid red meat and pork still, I did have some pound cake and fruit with whipped cream for dinner.  Yes dinner.  Deal with it.

I have found a couple very interesting things in the last couple days however, on being this article on Lifehacker about finding your creative "sweet spot."  It has a couple quips about studies done showing that if you are sleepy, drunk and just got done exercising it is the best time for creativity.  Well, not all at the same time, but apparently when you are in those states of mind you thoughts wander more and you are better at problem solving.  So for you creative folks out there, do not pick up that coffee to open up that mind, but a beer instead.

I also stumbled upon this video of slow motion free runners.  Free running is a combination of multiple things, but the main components are gymnastics and well, running.  It is a really awesome sport that is more about expression and freedom than anything else.  If you have a little bit of time, let these fellas inspire you.

Tomorrow is Friday, and surely I should be excited, but knowing I will have this cold through the weekend is not really what I had in mind.  I am looking forward to next week however, because I have my follow-up MRI and finally will get some kind of plan of action for my knee.  Whatever the weather is like for you this weekend, enjoy yourselves.

I'm just sayin...
