Went to the gym this morning, and it went very well. I'm very happy I hired a personal trainer - already the first session was worth the monies. Instead of doing barbell today, I lifted dumb bells, for both safety/confidence reasons and to work on symmetry and balance. And, weight-wise, I didn't lift "a lot", but the difference in form (as well as actually handling the dumb bells at the beginning and end of the set!) made it so that I was TIRED at the end of the session. But, like, good tired.
Grmbl, I was hoping that one of the two pairs of jeans I had ordered on Zalando would fit, but no no they don't. Which is annoying, because my current amount of wearable pairs of jeans is distractingly low (I think I'm down to 2, and one of them is borderline.)
Also I'm voting for the European Parliament elections today, and it's kind of funny because I'm technically voting for two countries today (since we also have the quarterly Swiss votations today). I mailed my Swiss ballot two weeks ago, but still: today I'm voting with two citizenships :D
Weeeeeeeell fuck. European elections in France gave a HUGE score to far right parties, the President dissolved the National Assembly this evening, we're voting in 3 weeks, and however I add numbers, I am exceedingly pessimistic. I really, really hope I'm wrong. Very depressing, incredibly scary, and I'm feeling a nice (not) mix of anxious and dejected. Wunderbar.
