This past week, I came down with a nasty case of the crud with a low grade fever off and on. Still went to work, but was dragging serious ass. Yesterday was the first day back at the gym! Got a full body workout in, but lost 2 pounds over the course of that week; probably water mostly since I was eating at maintenance cals or at a deficit. Hitting chest and hams today.
One thing I like about getting sick is that my mind settles into a quite creative place. I started telling myself a story that has developed into quite a novel (I once wrote erotic romance short stories back about 15 years ago). The current story having many twists and turns involving some very hot sex scenes, steroid labs, murder, a sensuous romance in Western China, a break up that goes rather well, and a trip to Norway to do an arms deal with Russia and China. The main characters are Freyja, Andy, Kathy, Han Xiang, Kjersti, and Taylor. There are supporting characters, but the readers get a substantive view into each characters back story. Freyja is Norwegian-born raised in Minnesota and is working as a call girl for executive parties; she is in love with Andy. Andy is a Nebraska farm boy who works a dagger with great skill and is in grad school studying philosophy. Kathy is his friend of Andy's, and is studying Logic and Mathematics. Taylor is also a grad student who is studying molecular-cellular biology with Kjersti, who is an IFBB pro. Taylor supplies brews and supplies gear. She got into the trade vis-a-VI's her uncle Frank (a former world class bodybuilder) when she was in high school. Han is a Chinese man who moved to America with his father shortly after he finally hooked up with Tuk, a girl who would visit him at his fathers shop to talk and have tea.
Freyja and Andy are currently en route to Oslo, where they will meet once again. A few murders are planned for Andys future in Norway 
Taylor and Andy just broke up. Taylor is now in China to purchase a large quantity of raws abf hGh. She meets Han on an intercontinental flight from Shianghai to Shen Yin. Kathy is staying in NYC, her future is TBD. Kjersti is now qualified for next years Olympia. I'm not sure yet what happens with Taylor just yet, but fairly certain of the fates of Andy and Freyja <3
All of the characters are based on people I've known, or know about, some scenes are autobiographical with added dramatization for effect. Parts are purely fantasy and imagination, obviously lol.
Yep, been quiet round here!
Cycling Test p and MENT, 6 weeks in. In two weeks I move on to test p/npp/mast p. Going to be a long haul once it's complete! Oh, finishing it with test/tren/mast/DHT. Its in the cycle logs
Thanksgiving... its my favorite holiday, or it was. My daughter goes to grandmothers house to celebrate (fancy shmancy! ). Yule has therefore become "thanksgiving" where lefsa is in great abundance. She and I will endeavor to recreate a Viking Age stew this year. Last year was rabbit stew with barley based largely from American pioneer recipes. Too many tiny damn bones! Tasty though
Right now, while the weather is comfortable if you like a nip to the air, there are massive fires raging and a shit ton of smoke is choking ly thick even an hour south of the actual fires. The burned area is completely destroyed.
Well folks, gotta hit the road, and get my ass under the bar! And, continue with my self entertaining story. Freyja just boarded the yacht headed across the Atlantic headed to Portugal..
