Hard 2 days of boxing training at the gym. Primarily partner combo work, but at a high pace with few rests. On Tuesday I got more tired than usual and realized I was tensing my shoulders up. T he other main factor, shallow breaths, is because of my sinuses. Going to use a saline rinse I purchased before class next time. Need to remember to keep shoulders relaxed and tuck chin. Let the arms fall into their natural position with the hands up. Keeping the elbows tucked aids this. Very basic stuff but still easy to lose when dynamically moving and reacting, especially when you have larger lats pushing your arms out (something my Friday coach has commented on).

I am also going to be using this blog as a dream journal. I thought about creating an entirely different account, but this place has been such a longtime hangout place for my thoughts that I'd like to have it be more than just training notes. I always appreciate reading back on entries years earlier and seeing life stuff jotted down.

Last night/this morning was a funny bad dream. I had some people over and everyone was really bored in my living room while I had DBZ playing on the television (buncha idiots if you ask me...). I made George waffles in my new Ninja air fryer (which is a real development) but they turned out weird and the butter, which I never eat anymore, was old. Then in the same dream I hosted a house party for goths and alt folks, but it was terrible and also boring. One guy told me he just got his PhD and gave me a hug, so I awkwardly hugged him back. Then he started crying and claiming I harassed him by touching his ass when we hugged and I was going WTF at this. Immediately, giant bighorn sheep started climbing onto my balcony, so I pointed that out and ran to see what the hell was going on, but really I was just glad to be away from this dumbass and I forgot about the sheep. Finally, a couple were sleeping in my bed and wouldn't leave when I announced that the party was over because they weren't sober. I was thinking about calling the police when I woke-up. I THINK this was the point my alarm rang but I'm not entirely sure. Felt like I went from an entire night of partying to going straight to work.

I find dream descriptions really boring from other people unless they're super short, hence why I rarely share any, but that was fun to write and keep on record for myself. So far I have eliminated edibles entirely during weekdays this week, hence the vivid dreams. Feeling better in the mornings as a result.
