There's a ham in the power rack! Hobbes' Journal.

[Boomer29]

Not bad, trying not to scratch too much. Also every time a piece of fuzz touches my arm I freak out.

HAHAHA! sorry ok srs face now.

[dreahere]

Haha, that's a good idea! I actually went out to collect my mower last night. I put on thick cargo pants tucked into my shoes, long sleeved shirt, hoodie, baseball hat, gloves, scarf, and safety glasses, srs. Grabbed that mower with one hand and ran like hell.

Will do, I snuck back there today and those things are buzzing around EVERYWHERE in my backyard. I bought some poison and will attack them at night. I had to mow the rest of my front yard though cause it looks weird with only one side done. The back is going to have to wait until I know these things are gone.

OMG, you are a much much braver woman than me.

First of all, if I was attacked by wasps while mowing the lawn, I'd be in the hospital being treated for PTSD right now I'm sure, BUT if they gave me enough sedatives to send me home, that mower woulda stayed right where it was until I called in the professionals to kill those little fukcers dead. And I'd never mow the damn grass again, never mind be out there evening up the front yard so it didn't look weird.

[danibel]

HAM DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

srsly tho, I'm so terrified of bees, what you just described is my ultimate nightmare scenario. I'm sorry you were attacked by those bloodthirsty motherlovers. Send them all to hell where they belong!

[Echo814]

I totally agree with setting that sh!t on fire Ham! Poison will work too, I guess... I just love a good explosion

Glad that the benydril and itch cream is helping. Can't imagine how it feels, I've never been stung, just bite by dogs lol.

[thehobbes]

HAHAHA! sorry ok srs face now.

Meh!

LMFAO! Buttt Dreaaaa, it was all uneven, I had to do SOMETHING or I'd never be able to eat or sleep again! I am also concerned for anyone who saw my screaming, cursing rampage of tearing my clothes off lolol!

HAM DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bahahahaha!!! Thank you Danibel, if you ever are in that situation either do what I did (videos please ), find water to jump into (I don't have any and the water pressure on my hose sucks), or stop drop n roll!! :This has been a PSA brought to you by Officer Safety Ham:

Too bad there's a forest behind my house or I could get a flame thrower lol. I got the poison that sprays up to 27 feet away.


HAM UPDATE!

Well yesterday sucked. My stings got a lot worse, started swelling up more, very red, getting warm, so I had to go to Urgent Care. And of course I have to get up at 5am for work and one of my employees calls off due to a legit emergency (but will not be back for about a week :/), and another person is currently on a vacation that has been planned for literallly months, so I had way too much to do with not enough people and couldn't make it to UC until after 9 at night. I got some cortisone and benedril shots in my azz lulz which seem to be helping, the swelling is down this morning. Of around 20 stings 8 are really bad and they determined that most of those still have the stingers in there but there's really no way to get them out, so just leave them in there (I hope that is the right advice, sounded weird to me.)

I have not lifted since Tuesday and today my parents are coming over since I put that off last weekend (yeah I'm horrible I know lol), so I can't really go anywhere today. The only day I could work out is tomorrow, but after that I'll be at work 12-16hrs a day so I may not be able to do anything until the following weekend. I'm thinking maybe I should just get this stupid ass deload in now, and then best case scenario I'm freed up by like Thurs and will have all the free time I need for lifting.

Meh I hate deloads, and I hate yellowjackets.

Meh



Yes, mad.

[squeaks77]

I'm sensitive to mosquito bites, so whenever I get one, I have to go to UC for a shot of Benadryl is the azz. Sucks! It also sucks when all kinds of life stuff gets in the way and keeps you out of the gym for an extended period. I usually try to use those times as a deloading as well.

[Boomer29]

agreed ^^ unless you just want the extra days off. But that is likely not the case.

[nvrstopworking]

Sucks Hamz.... but maybe this is the good Lord's way of commanding you to do dat der deload. Will probably do your shoulder good too.

20 stings! fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..... I'd take a flamethrower to my entire lawn and then pave it over with cement.


EDIT: Since we were talking about "lifting when you're older" the other day.... check out this thread in the Ov35! 64 yr old dude does a shirted bench with 470lbs!

[beatha]

Wow Ham you have good reason to be mad . . . damn bee's . . . as for the stingers I've heard that same advice about splinters but I still dig to get em out anyways

Forced deloads suck but the shoulder, bee stings and long hours you bound to be working make it good timing. (Lol trying put positive spin on it . . . did it work. )

[Echo814]

I've always wondered why they give shots in the a$$. When I had my car accident they gave me a shot of muscle relaxer in my butt and I was like WTF as a male nurse walked up with a syringe and pulled my pants half down lol. Maybe it is a sign that this week you need to chill and come back all beast mode You have every right to be mad, hopefully that poison takes care of the yellow jackets.

[danibel]

Prayer circle for Hobbes' recovery tbh

Oh wow mosquito bites! I would be lathering myself in the OffWoods stuff lol. Yeah, deload it is...

agreed ^^ unless you just want the extra days off. But that is likely not the case.

I do not, but I'm not going to squeeze in one measley workout now. I'll just get mad that I have to fit in a deload soon, so I guess I'll do it now, sigh. I dream about deadlifting, I really do.

LMAO, so you're saying some random chick pulling my pants halfway down is a sign to chill and come back all beast mode? Weird logic is weird. But yes, that is what we're doing.

Prayer circle for Hobbes' recovery tbh

Oh Danibel I knew you'd come through for me!

^^^Too soon, too soon...


Parents came over today, ohhh I ate so much cake (yes actual bakery cake you weirdos! haha) My parents were all ZOMG did you died?! about the yellow jackets. My dad is highly allergic to that stuff, has to go to UC if he even gets stung once cause the spot will swell up like a watermelon. He said 20 stings would be hospitaltime.jpg for him. My parents are hilariously weird. We were celebrating a couple holidays at once today and my mom again got my dad Axe Body Spray lulz, I don't even...

[Echo814]

Now that you put it that way... it does sound a bit odd. Made this for you though, I hope it makes you LYFAO.

[swooshie]

That made me lol....for real

[geek23ka]

ham, those fukkin bees!!! nuke your lawn. tell 'em you love the smell of napalm in the morning.

a forced deload bc of freaking bees is major suckage. yeah... i would be plotting my revenge.

you should introduce festivus to your folks. they might take to it.

[dreahere]

We were celebrating a couple holidays at once today and my mom again got my dad Axe Body Spray lulz, I don't even...

Don't think too hard about this. Just...don't.

Hey, I remembered last night (when it of course it was absolutely useless) what you're supposed to put on bee stings: meat tenderizer. It neutralizes the venom. Meat tenderizer apparently has a number of medical applications, a semi-hilarious story (in retrospect) about which I will not tell to avoid hijacking your journal, Hammie

[gobbles23]

Oh, that sounds awful aout the bee stings Hope you're feeling all better today!

Ugh, I hate early forced deloads! They're bad enough when they're on time, but when they're early they really piss me off! 12-16 hour days!? That's insanity!

lol! Looking forward to the epic workouts you're going to get in after this is all over!

[thehobbes]

LOL! Oh that's good!

That made me lol....for real

Me too, imagine 2 people in their 60s sitting around my dining room table opening presents and this happens, and my dad seriously looks like he's 80 (my mom could pass for late 40s IMO.) I do get creeped out though cause I actually remember when my parents were in their 30s. Ohhhh bring on Ham's midlife crisis!

Lolol festivus for the rest of us! We celebrated 2 birthdays, Mothers Day, and Fathers Day. Between everyone being at work all the time and my parents going on vacation a while ago we never got together for all this stuff.

Don't think too hard about this. Just...don't.

Ugh, I'd love to believe in immaculate conception cause that would mean my parents would technically never have a use for bowchicawowwow, oh lawd I don't want to think about it!!

Someone else mentioned meat tenderizer too, I guess it's a real thing people do. Feel free to throw in stories especially when I'm deloading lol. I've been taking soooo much Benedryl, woke up today at 9am, took some more and passed out until 2pm.

Oh, that sounds awful aout the bee stings Hope you're feeling all better today!

Well actually I have some good new about that (making a new post just for that lulz.) Yeah the stings are ok, getting a lot better since the shots and I am still taking the Benedryl like candy. I am not going to a damn place today so I figure I can be all sleepy drunk here without issue. I'm sure my iphone will end up in the refridgerator again, oh well.


Oh yeah, I got a Barnes and Noble gift card (LOVE that place!) Any good books out there guise? I am just finishing up the Hunger Games trilogy now.

[thehobbes]

So it *looks like* everything will be back to normal at work tomorrow and I will be able to do my regular stuff and get outta there in the afternoon and GO TO THE GYM TO LIFT!!! I'm gonna keep doing the meds today too but should be fine without them, or cutting down to one tablet, tomorrow.





Crisis over, everyone go about your regular lives.

[nvrstopworking]

Dunno if "Game of Thrones" is your thing but I thought those books were great.

So much for teh deload. lulz. Glad that you're going to be able to release the rage though... was starting to get scared thinking about the mailman coming to your door and you going all "HAM SMASH!!" on him.

[thehobbes]

I'll check that one out, and for the record I DID deload, did not lift Wed through Sun, that is 5 WHOLE DAYS!!! So yeah it counts!

[nvrstopworking]

Fun trilogy. There's 2 out so far, so maybe you will want to wait for the 3rd so you can just gorge on it.

[Boomer29]

UH yes! Winning = lifting.

[-H-]

hey auntie hammie!
omg that sounds so horrible. i am scared of the stings!
glad you are feeling better and able to lift.

[dreahere]

I'm thinking Auntie Hammie has enough built-up justified rage in the tank to make the first workout back EPIC. I can only hope there's some video!
