Heya, folks! Crazy week from hell brewing over here and spilling into next week. We’ll see how posting goes… Stay tuned for more Ancient Fire and the promised-and-still-coming Concept Meets Girl – Typhoid Fever (<- just kidding, CMG is really coming though ๐ ). But today, I just felt like posting some random stuff.
And the title? That’s just to prove that even especially writers suffer from title block. Or title laziness, in this case perhaps. ๐
Now for delightfulย randomness. You already know I go to therapy for my arm, but the latest progression on that front is I now have appointments only every other week, but in between I go and use the facilities to do an arm-strengthening routine that my therapist made for me. I actually love it, and I feel so good after it and I can tell I’m much stronger than I was, in my shoulders and torso as well as my arms,ย even before the injury. Today was a day to go.
I start out with 10 minutes on this fancy “arm bike”. But that’s not the best part.ย The good part comes…
here. This thing is awesome! It’s a strength training type machine with cords and stuff like that, and there are 4 parts to it. This is Beta (the others are Alpha, Gamma, and Delta), and I thought the little symbol was cool. I couldn’t get a picture of the whole setup because today was apparently National Go-To-The-Gym Day, so the place was crowded. ๐
But you know, an element is still missing. What is a workout without…
music!! Rocking to the good ol’ Frozen toonz and all da best! Unfortunately, I think the other users would’ve workouts and concentration might have been slightly disturbed if I’d sung aloud, so I didn’t. ๐ They, of course, were unaware of the experience they were missing. Little did they know that they could have been treated to my serenading voice that is closer to a squeaking rubber ducky than anything pleasant. Let’s just say there are reasons I’m a writer, not a singer. ๐
Also, on a completely different note (pun unintended and thus somewhat flat), another thing I’ve been enjoying is these Disney quizzes. Am I the last one on board these things??? I like the “how well do you know ___” trivia quizzes and the funny articles, and of course, I did the Frozen ones. These are some of my favorites.

I spent way too much time following links and taking quizzes and reading silly posts. Sometimes the results were startlingly accurate, like “can we guess your favorite Frozen character” coming out as Elsa, which is true. Some of them are hilariously inaccurate, like the “which Disney princess are you” coming out as Merida from Brave! I mean, huh? Totally NOT me! And I like the knowledge tests too, but I’m never sure whether it’s pathetic or cool to get a perfect (or almost perfect) score on those… ๐
If you take these quizzes (or any related to them), I’d love to hear what you came out as/how you didย in the comments!
Just a little randomness for today. ๐
Do you like to take self-quizzes/tests? What is necessary for a good workout for you?

Self-quizzes and “which ______ are you?” are my favorites!! I could take a million of those sort of things and not be tired of it. ๐
And I agree with you 100% on the music; I can’t work out without it!! Also, my sister and I work out together at home and we have a tradition that her dog hangs out with is while we work out. I could work out without him there, but it definitely would feel like something was missing. ๐

What? I don’t get any kind of credit for sending those to you and getting you hooked? (Just kidding! ;P ๐ ) I’m pretty sure I begged on hands and knees in the “are you evil” email I sent you – not that you probably needed much convincing. ๐
See above about the workout. ๐ And yes, I love taking all kinds of quizzes, and I liked how these seemed for me at least fairly accurate!
