It has been a stressful weekend.
Bakcground for this crap of a weekend:
My daughter had a guy friend going to a work/development program with her who needed a place to lives so back on December 12th we took him in with the expectation he pay $75 / week room and board and not come home drunk or impaired in any way.
That rule was broken a few times and we gave him a second chance. This is a young man for who life has kicked the crap out of through the foster system etc and we thought we could help.
A couple of weeks ago he stiffed us on his rent and blew it playing pool (and losing) and we talked it out and thought it would be a lesson to show people can hang in there for him but he had to pay his next rent plus half of what he owed.
So Friday he was to pay $225 (two weeks plus the $75) – he gave us $140. He had bought a pair of glasses instead of paying us and we said this means you’ll have to leave. We meant in the morning after we talked but he turned and left at 10:30 pm. Into the cold …………..
We discussed with our daughter giving him another chance and told her we would talk to him. He came by but drunk and there were not so pleasant things said.
Now it would be easy to just write this off except he was truly hurt by our “betrayal” and he was just not able to understand how the money calculated etc. and that he had not done as he had promised. (There were some other factors but this is what it hung on.)
Bottom-line he was mad and angry because he had come to trust us and “through his own actions” caused us to do something he felt betrayed by.
The things that were said in anger mean he cannot come back but I am left with feeling like our intentions to show this young man people could care for him only proved his former belief that people screw you over.
Rationally it was his own actions that were consequenced but somehow it is not my rationale brain that is working this weekend.
So I was way down with absolutely no intensity available and ready to say FUK IT I’ll skip tonight and bump my program a day.
But that is the road to ruin.
So, as we say in my school, I told myself to: “Suck it up, princess.” (In my school the princess in the saying is non-gender specific.)
So I did.
I did my Intu-Flow and medium intensity program with some good knee rolls etc afterwards.
Hard but glad I did it.
Medium intensity (purpose – strength building for lean muscle):
45 seconds head press from downward facing dog
45 seconds squat and reach back
45 second one leg squat leg back unassisted – on EACH leg.
4 rounds
1 minute in-between
Going to post the link to the program I am posting about working on it:
