It’s my 9/80 day off. Amen.
Not only that, but the day has been nominally productive so far. I woke up a little before SaraRules headed to work. I thought about having a spot of breakfast, but didn’t… for whatever reason. After she left, I did my best impression of a cat and sprawled on the sitting room floor, in a pool of sunlight. It felt good. Next thing I know, I’d lost an hour. (Oh, well… that’s what days off are for.) I got up, did a load of laundry and then did something that I haven’t done in “far too long.”
I went to the gym.
That’s right, I went to the gym. I’ve discovered over the years that I prefer working out with someone, but I’m not completely averse to going alone. I’ve also discovered that not going to the gym for a month or so means that you have to work back up to where you used to be. But… I went to the gym. I worked out. And it was good. Selah. Not only that, but I ran into former coworker, Josh, there; so I have a witness that I was actually there and doing stuff.
Back home for a shower and shave and a bite to eat. In a little bit, SaraRules’ mother is coming over and we’re heading down to the new Hobby Lobby. Â (Yeah, I know: It’s a hard-knock life to have to go to Hobby Lobby on your day off…)
Not sure what the rest of the afternoon holds, but there’s Clitorati tonight.
Workout
Yesterday’s step count: 2019 steps.
Today’s workout consisted of:
- Elliptical: 10 minutes, avg. speed ~5.5 MPH
- Sit-ups (incline): 3 sets/20 reps
- Bench Press: 3 sets/10 reps
- 2 sets @ 185 lbs
- 1 set @ 135 lbs
- Compound Row: 3 sets/10 reps, 125 lbs
- Curls (dumbbell): 3 sets/10 reps, 20 lbs
- Tricep Press (overhead, dumbbell): 3 sets/10 reps, 40 lbs
The workout was good… and tiring. I think that I might have to back off on some of the weights a bit, until I get back into the swing of things. But, that’s okay. I have nothing but time, air and opportunity.

- Green Lantern earns animated series
- Videogames train you for lucid dreaming?
- SaraRules and I are planning on getting new phones in the next few weeks, I think. I had been hoping that Apple would undergo a rectal craniotomy and diversify their carriers – I want an iPhone, but don’t want it on AT&T. Since that doesn’t seem to be very likely, I’d like to hear your recommendations on phones and/or cellular service providers.

I can’t speak to the validity of these codes as a whole, but I thought it was interesting. - Top 10 Miscast Movie Roles
