Hyper-extension!

Went to the gym in the morning, got there kinda late. I've never gotten there at 6am which is always the plan - very disappointing.

Fourth day in a row without seeing Alanna, and I was beginning to feel the effects. It's kinda like missing a family member. I'm glad she's on a break, but at the same time, selfish me wants her to be around so I can get my work done.

At one point I was in the kitchen filling up my water bottle when Karina walked in and said hi. We ended up talking about my knee. One thing I've realised about her is that she is quite empathetic and a good listener. She seemed truly concerned about my knee and understanding. On the other hand, I reckon if I had to listen to someone whinge about their knee I'd tune out in 30 seconds.

I went to the supermarket during lunch time to stock up on my weekly lunch. Mainly bought canned soup and bread, but also bought the stuff needed to make that yummy pizza toast that Amy taught me how to make.

I went to Karina's room for a chat in the afternoon cause I was bored. We just talked about cases, and when I was about to leave, she stopped me by saying there was something she was going to say but had forgotten. She stood there for a few moments trying to think, and I thought she looked really adorable and cute right at that moment.

I later heard her talking to Lewis in the photocopy room, and I thought she spoke to him the same way she spoke to me, so maybe it's all just my imagination. But then again, she doesn't go to lunch with him. We agreed on lunch for Friday.

Talking to Karina, I also found out that Dugon had been given an additional task, which I thought if anything was something I would've been ask to do. My jealousy meter went up and I couldn't help but think about it for the rest of the day.

Why didn't they ask me to do it? Was the new boss favouring Dugon? Did she dislike me? Or was it because Alanna wasn't around and she usually puts in a word for me?

I had intended to leave at 5pm-ish, but that motivated me to start prepping for another hearing, so I stayed till 6:30pm. After I got changed, Zena stopped me for a chat, even though I wanted to go. It didn't look good that the new boss came by and saw us chatting. Oh well.

I went home then drove to the gym. When I got there, I realised I had forgotten my towel! I figured they wouldn't kick me out, since I'm a regular, but I did ponder how I would do my exercises. Oh well, I'll improvise, I told myself.

I got on the bike first, and then when it came to the exercises, instead of lying down and pushing my knee down, I laid down and tried to hyper-extend it. It was pretty fucking painful, but by the third set, I reckon I was doing a bit of hyper-extension. I can't be sure if it's not just me lifting my leg up at the hips, but I can feel my calve touch the floor and my heel raise up.

The other thing I realised is that on my first rep of pushing my knee down, it was pretty damn far off the ground. That really showed how bad it was without exercising, and also how much improvement is made by exercising.

I had worn my glasses to the gym tonight because I thought the girl would be there, but it was another one :(
