Just when you think things are slightly calming down, something happens. Last night I get a call from my girlfriend who was at hockey practice. She's driving home, upset, because she's been hit by a puck where she didn't have any protection. Normally, this isn't a big deal, but due to her being on a medication (read the story here, here and here) that makes her blood thinner this could potentially be a risky situation. She comes home and we drive off to the emergency unit in Halmstad. We spent a few hours of our night there and got reassured that there was no damage to her bone structure, and, more importantly, she did not have to reverse her medication. That would have meant decreasing the medication that prevents blood clots from reoccurring. Luckily, no such thing was necessary. As a result of last night's "adventure" - as well as a day of studying - I am slightly tired today. Adding to that we've also been having a bit of car troubles. My hopes were that my exhaustion wouldn't affect my workout for the evening all too much.

# Workout Notes:
The workouts continue on to be strong and steady. Today, however, things got slightly thrown around as the Smith Machine was occupied. That meant that I had to switch the initial Smith Machine Overhead Shoulder Press and do some Dumbbell Shoulder Presses instead. This fact resulted in me misjudging my capacity and the last set ended on 3 reps instead of the intended 8. In any case, the worries about me being too exhausted before hitting the gym were nothing to be concerned about. Things were, and, are still progressing nicely.
