It's Sunday, and though I thought it'd be a day of rest and relaxation, it was anything but that. It all started with me waking up early for my Sunday morning breakfast club meeting. I woke up extra early on account that I wasn't sure what I'd be cooking and what I'd be cooking with. Our ghetto camping cooking burner to the rescue! Off I headed downtown with my club-made protein-packed pancakes in hand and bus fare in the other.
Treated myself to a taxi instead of a bus, which in my world -- a world where I'm really trying to save my money for a house -- the bus was already a treat because I was planning to walk. And I would have walked if I had prepared the cooking stuff the night before.
The entertaining morning breakfast meeting that proved to be not only super delish (as always) but it also proved to be quite super duper helpful for Hulk's too. I say this on account that I think I may have very well have met the lovely lady who is going to bake for the upcoming Hulk's first birthday. I met her today and she was super sweet, both in her manner and in the chocolate cupcakes she had baked up and brought to the meeting.
After the breakfast club, I headed over to my old apartment, Mi Gung. Balboa and Pacquiao are still situated there on account that we haven't yet finished up their special side entrance room. Snickers was there when I got there, already cleaning. We ended up giving the whole place a really good cleaning, I'm talking about not only vacuuming and washing the floors but getting down on all fours and scrubbing the wooden door frames and tiles in the bathroom. I used a toothbrush to give the bathroom a real detailed scrub, now that's hardcore!
Two and a half hours later and we were back at Hulk's but it wasn't rest and relaxation time just yet, nope.
With our new bedroom having a glass see-through wall, we purchased a large wallpaper-like sticker to plaster the glass with. It's a sticky task to do and potentially quite the messy one too... but not when you don't have to do it!!!! Yes, no sooner had we started but out on the club's front doors tapped someone wanting to come in. It was WOW. And then no sooner had Snickers and WOW started but then there was another tapping on the door. It was King Kong.
I let the men do their thing, their "manly work", and headed to my little hide-away reading nook.
I must have only got a few pages into my book before I was started to fall asleep. Hello nap time!!!
Nap time came to a sudden end when my ears were greeted by the voices of several Korean guys peeking into my bedroom and asking each other if I was asleep. By then the door sticker had been applied so I made them some coffee and we sat at the juice bar chatting. Next thing I know it WOW was asking me if I was going to just do weight training or boxing tonight. Between you and me, I hadn't actually expected to train tonight. The whole move into Hulk's has left me definitely lacking some much needed rest, relaxation and recovery time from the lack of sleep and physical drain.
Boxed at 7:30pm.
Keeping up with the guys and their 3 minute rounds was rough but I tell you this, it felt soooooo good to shower after training and change into clean clothes. Usually I wait till I get home to shower, which often means I go out and eat in my sweaty nasty clothes.
After training most of us headed out for dinner -- a fancy meat place across town that served us the meanest and most delish of meat and crazy awesome side dishes. Props here to Koreans for their food. Their food kicks Western food hands down!!! Canada may have it's poutine but Korea, oh don't even get me started!!!
Dinner out meant I got home around 11pm. I then had to clean the club floor and work on our club birthday event. I haven't been procrastinating about it instead it's just I'm so busy. There's a lot of behind the scenes work that needs to be dealt with. Our move was one, now renovating our old house is another as is getting our office computer fixed, setting up this birthday party, dealing with sponsors, and of course there's our own boxing career and training we're juggling. I'm trying to get Snickers signed for an upcoming fight and I'm waiting for KBC and KBA to figure out their own legal mess before my new manager and I approach them about our new legal contract. It's not all just boxing and weight training and now that I live at the place in which I work at, it's becoming more of a 24/7 job. Tomorrow will be the first day of work since our move and I'm sure work will somehow sneak it's way into my morning pancake and coffee. I'm not complaining but thank God I do love what I do because if I didn't, geez, I would have quit a lot time ago.
