Sprained Foot

Things took a turn for the worse these last couple of days. I hurt my foot during training last week and it kept on getting worse and more painful every day. I could not put pressure on my foot so we decided to get an X-ray just to make sure I didn't break anything. This morning we went to the clinic and they took an X-ray. Luckily nothing is broken, but I did sprain it. They gave me painkillers and I need to take rest to let it heal up. No more fight for me on Samui for me. I'm pretty bummed out about that to say the least. I'm still going to Samui to watch the others fight but I would have loved to fight there myself and it sucks that I just have to watch now. But yeah, can't really do anything about that. Just got to make the best of it. 

Broken

Uh oh, this looks familiar. I broke another finger. Fifth time this has happened. My friends know this is a fairly common injury to me.. I get this all the time. I used to play basketball but I quit playing because I kept on breaking my fingers (4 fingers, three years time..). I managed to keep my fingers in one piece for about three years now but last thursday my luck turned around. During MMA-training I heard a pretty loud 'snap' and the next day it just got more swollen and painful. I immediatly knew what had happened. Been there too many times.. So now it's just taped and hopefully it should be healed in two/three weeks time. 'Fingers crossed' it will be healed before I go to Thailand. 

Stresslevel: UP

Yesterday contained way too much stress for me. We all know that when something bad happens to someone or something you love, you are most likely to get stressed out. You feel bad, you wish you could do something to make it better or you wish this bad thing didn't happen at all. Yesterday was my day to wish I could do something to make things better. For a couple of days already my cat wasn't able to eat like he normally does (how much love I've got for my cat, he only has one love in his life; food) so we had to take him to the vet to see what was wrong with him. Almost immediatly she stated he needed to get some surgery done on his mouth to remove a couple of teeth which had been causing an infection. We had to leave him and we could pick him up in the evening again. Surgery is never without risk so I was a little scared something would go wrong. Luckily after a couple of hours the vet called to let us know everything went really well and he should probably make a full recovery. We picked him up but he still wasn't fully awake from the anestatics, which made it pretty hilarious watching him walk around the house like a drunk person (I know, I'm probably going to hell for laughing at this). One day has passed now and it looks like he's making a good recovery. At least he's got his love for food back..

Some people may think; all this for a cat? But this is not just a cat. This is my buddy. Animals have unconditional love. They will always love you, no matter what (well, in this case, as long as I feed him..). It's no secret I have a good bond with my cat, he cheers me up, he wakes me up, and he has a way of looking at me like; hey whatsup. Always a little friend at home. When things like this happen it stresses me out. I'm just really happy my buddy is doing well again. That's it for today. More posts on its way. 

Song of the Day

Luxury Problems

My head has been going like crazy the last couple of weeks and one of the reasons for that is that I have to start thinking again about what I'm going to do in Asia. This is giving me a headache big time. I don't know where to go. This is a problem I never expected to have. It's a luxury-problem. I want to train and I want to learn more about the culture. I'm done with all those partying tourists. I have seen enough of that last year. Also I don't necessarily feel the need to travel around that much. I don't mind being in one place for a long time. I've done that before and I actually enjoyed that very much. I'm asking you guys for help. If any of you has any suggestions of what I should do or where I should go, please message me (facebook, email, whatever). Oh and if someone has a ticket to Rio or a shitload of money in the very near future, and wants to give that to me, that would be highly appreciated too. 

Another one of my luxury-problems is the fact that I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace, which is great of course. Except for the fact that is only has touchscreen. I always use my phone when I'm riding my bicycle and as temperatures in Holland are starting to freeze, I find myself no longer able of using my phone during my bikerides just because my hands are freezing off. I either had to choose between warm hands, or using my phone. That was.. until yesterday! Because yesterday I found the best solution for this problem ever. They made gloves which allow you to use your touchscreen without freezing your hands off! Made my day. So although I might still be a little bit bummed because of all the other things going on in my mind right now. This is one less problem I have to worry about.

For now I will just enjoy the rest of my free saturday. I'm literally working my ass of lately to save money for travelling. My budget is coming along pretty well but this hard work is wearing me out some days. I just have to keep my focus, remember what it is that I'm working for. It'll pay of eventually. Just need to get there. Tomorrow I have to start work again at seven in the morning, not that bad. I hope next week will be a good week. We'll see what a new week will bring us. 

I'm slowly getting into the whole blogging-thing again. Ideas are always welcome. I'll put up a link to where you can contact me. Take care!
