Rehab, Sugar Detox, Work…

Jet lag and I have been at it this week and I think I finally beat it! But now I think I’ve got a frozen shoulder 🙁 So painful at times it’s been hard to sleep. Not sure how or why, but been going to Tony and he gave me shock therapy on it – ouch!

Also mixing it up with a hot and cold sleeve which seems to help.

Managed to drag myself to the gym too. Not allowed to work too hard after the eye surgery yet. Been doing light cardio which felt like climbing Kebnekaise all over again. Resorted to the pool area to work on my tan instead hahahaaa…

Jennifer Dark was also in town for a quick trip so hit another pool with her 🙂

Lots of work to catch up on. Got Kayla to help me and we shot this funny Lara Croft scene. A little clip for you when I try to be a bad-ass, but allergies hit…

And some pics…

And some stuff I edited. If you missed who the voluptuous blonde is, it’s Joslyn James!

My sugar detox has been going unexpectedly well. Been cooking a lot and not had any candy, bakery stuff, ice cream or chocolate! Pretty impressed with myself. Still working on my snacking at night time, but hey, one struggle at a time. Went out for sushi one day and just realized I had an Affogato for dessert. Normally I would’ve taken a whole ice cream bowl, so let’s let that one slide…

And Hunter? He is being his phenomenal self. I now have the neighbor’s kids just entering the house asking to pet him. We usually enjoy the cooler mornings outside with my coffee or he somehow parkours the wall to see if the neighbors cat Princess (his gf) is outside.

Here’s also a couple of pics of Kayla’s cats Biggie (I called him T Rex for obvious reasons) and Guru.

Been reading some. I enjoyed Jo Nesbo’s novel ‘Blood Ties’. Exciting suspense novel about two brothers in a small Norwegian town. Bribes, murder, romance etc and it’s pretty fast paced so you don’t get bored. Can recommend it…

Was excited for ‘The Devils’ by Joe Abercrombie since I read ‘The Blade Itself’ series by him before, which I really enjoyed. But I gave this book up after reading 40% of it. Only gets semi-exciting and then it dies out. I expected more violence and blood like the previous books. Don’t recommend.

This was a fun and fast read. ‘The Expat’ by Hansen Shi. A espionage thriller between USA and China. Can recommend.

Planning on having an easy breezy weekend. Got an appointment at the DMV next week for all kinds of renewal stuff, seeing Tony for my shoulder, and shooting before taking off to Texas 🙂 Very exciting and look forward to eating some yummy BBQ!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Mostly AVN…

Since I knew the end of this week was going to be busy, I hit the gym, boosted myself with caffeine, and got a lot of work done.

A friend invited me and Angel to a steak dinner for Tuesday night. The friend ended up having to cancel, but it didn’t stop me and Angel from going 🙂 The restaurant is called ‘Four Sixes Ranch Steakhouse’ at the Wynn. For those who’ve seen the series ‘Yellowstone’, you probably recognize the name. We had some steak tartare prepared tableside, spicy Margaritas, and then we both went for the burger. Very tasty!

We sent our friend this pic and said she could edit herself in this image and pretend she was there with us getting kisses…

On Wednesday the AVN Expo started. I was signing for my agency ‘101 Modeling’ for a couple of hours each day.

I had someone special even send me flowers out to the expo 🙂

Sandy came over late at night to stay with me & Hunter. Hunter acted like he’s known Sandy forever and even slept next to her the whole night!

Thursday, 2nd day. So much fun to see old friends & fans and meet new ones.

Sandy was doing makeup, so I would go to her room to chill and hang with her before heading home. There are always tons of parties during AVN, but I decided that one party will have to do…

3rd day. Lots of people were there…

During Thanksgiving dinner last year I met this superb photographer who is Swedish, Anneli, and Earl Miller who is a legendary photographer from our industry…

I would pop by Sandy in between and rest up a bit, eat, and do some work 🙂

At night we had a fun group that went to dinner. After we went to the White Party. I used to party like there was no tomorrow. Now I’m at least aware that there is tomorrow and do my best to try remember that when partying. It works so so…

After a couple of coffees on Saturday morning I was feeling pretty good 🙂 I was helping Sandy with girls getting ready for the AVN Award Show later in the afternoon. I skipped the award show and went home. Pretty beat, but it was fun to experience AVN again after so many years absent.

Today has been pretty mellow. Met a friend for lunch that I knew back in San Francisco who also lives here in Vegas now. We made reservations to go play pickleball in a week and a half and maybe a hike this upcoming weekend. I’m too tired to think about what’s happening next week, but I’m sure it will all be good and wishing you the same 🙂

You might not…

…know or expect me to be an avid reader. I read pretty much every day, and I love real books you can hold, not some electronic tablet. It would be easier with a Kindle since books weigh a lot when you travel, and I have boxes of books that I don’t want to get rid of, but I still love physical books.

I told you before that I’d give you some books I’ve read and liked/loved/learned from, and maybe even some I don’t recommend so highly. First up is a book I finished last week – ‘A Little Life’ by Hanya Yanagihara. Wow, is the first thing that comes to my mind! Here’s a video review because I chat faster than I type hahahaaaa…

I can just say – read it! I don’t think I’ll ever forget reading this book…

Let me know if you like my book review video and want more 🙂 Now working away on editing pics, videos, drinking coffee, and reviewing a contract for a possible new career hahhahaaaa…

Kisses, Puma
