Wrapping things up...

Not really in the mood for writing here today. However, some things have come to an end, new things will begin, and I'll want to look back later. So here we go!

First up is the bathroom remodel, six years in the making!! Haha. Here are some before/after pics for remembering.

Those were the last pics I took so deal with it. Maybe I'll post another sometime later. Anyway, bathroom is completely done and wonderful. Hoping for another remodel project in 2019!

Remember when I talked about seeing a pelvic floor specialist for peeing during heavy (for me) deadlifts? Well, I've now been there, done that, learned tons, became a case study for my specialist, and successfully hit a deadlift PR without peeing a drop. Hooray!! I "graduated", but this will be something I continue to work on; though I probably won't talk about it here again.

As for books, I finished Gabby Union's book about a week ago. It was good; came out with a bang, hit a lull in the middle, but then finished strong. There is a lot of discussion and experiences of race and racism in the book, more than I expected and even more so than the experiences of being a woman, so if that's not your cup of tea than don't pick this one up. I'm currently hunting down my next audio book victim. Muahahaha.

I can't remember if I spoke about it here but I've been missing Bollywood movies!! They have a whole different vibe to them and I needed one in my life, dammit. Lol. I did some searching and found one that looked promising called Sultan. Here's the preview. No subtitles but you don't need them to know what's going on in the trailer. 


I checked it out from the library and it was so good! Awww!!! (Bonus points that I got to watch it on the new, bigger TV! Yay!) Its underdog/great sports comeback/love story all in one big story. It was slightly corny and ridiculous in spots (which I secretly love and makes me giggle) but that story was there and it was solid! Plus, I love these two main actors. I feel like I learned life lessons, I laughed, I cried, and in the end I couldn't help but feel so happy for everyone involved. Bollywood fix--satisfied!! 

There was a male and female version of a song in the movie that had me ALL up in my feelings!  Lol I loved them both and will be killing them for the next few days so I'll leave them here to remember how I felt when I watched for the first time. Ah, a beautiful thing. :) 
I found subtitles for the male one but not the female one, unfortunately. Chorus sounds the same though.



Other than that, Christmas is almost ready to go, crazy money stuff is set to go for the new year, and there will be a lot of hanging out, working out, gaming, and resting until 2018 wraps. 

Have a good one!!
