I tanned for 15 minutes, it felt like less. As I was starting to fall asleep the machine shut off. I’m not seeing much of an increase in skin tone after 2 sessions, but my skin does look healthier.
I stayed in the sauna for 30 minutes, as usual. Watched funny workout videos on YouTube, OE Fitness and super hero videos like Superman being possessed by Trigon to fight Darkseid. When I got out the locker room was super cold. I took a shower after because I read that showering helps maintain a tan. Drank my protein shake and creatine. The creatine tastes horrendous in just water. It’s Creakong creatine and Muscle Milk protein powder. The shelter I live in used to give me a hard time about my supplements because it could be confused with drugs and people do a lot of drugs here. Now they just look at it and let me in with it in my bag. Makes life so much easier.
Found out that my gym, Choice Fitness, has massage chairs. This will change my post workout routine and help me recover. This gym is pretty good for my needs to bodybuild, sauna, massage chair, yoga, and I’m going to routinely take hot showers now. I have a cyst on my tailbone that stays away if I keep it warm, the shower water softens it too which is great.
Went to First United Baptist church, but unfortunately I haven’t been sleeping well since leaving jail. I was taking Clonedine in jail and getting the best sleep of my life. I repeatedly nodded off despite my best efforts to stay awake. I heard the sermon though and really liked it, it was about temptation and how Jesus resisted the devil after 40 days of fasting. They run the service for church in person and online, there was some kind of gathering after, but I was too tired and opted to try to get some sleep. I haven’t slept yet.
A buddy of mine reached out to me and we decided to hangout today, except he never showed up. I tried the massage chair while I waited for him and spent some time in the sauna too. I called, texted and messaged him on Facebook, but he never replied. I saw throughout the day that he was online, so I decided I don’t need a friend like that and blocked his number and Facebook. No hard feelings, I just don’t like to have my time wasted and then be avoided.
Being homeless can be tough. It can be lonely. People assume things about you that may not be true and treat you differently based on those prejudices. Being homeless drains rather than restores your willpower after working all day. Imagine busting your ass for a job and then struggling to find food or to get clean or sleep decently. Being homeless is like having the entirety of your society aligned against you. The police, hospitals, citizens and other homeless have done more harm to me than I ever would have expected. Hopefully I’ll overcome this situation and those people. Thank you for reading, have a blessed day/night.
