Yesterday was my youngest sister’s birthday:
Yesterday was also my 9/80 day off. And it was a good day. I started with a short trip to the gym. (This is almost getting to be a habit…)
- Elliptical: 15 minutes, ~5.75 MPH pace
- Bench press: 3 sets/8 reps — 2 sets @ 135, 1 set @ 155
- Curls (dumbbells, seated): 3 sets/10 reps, 25 lbs
- Shoulder Press (dumbbells, seated): 3 sets/10 reps, 35 lbs
- Compound Row: 3 sets/10 reps, 125 lbs.

Then… it was off to meet SaraRules! for another appointment with her doctor. Only, the doctor was “out,” as she got called to the hospital to deliver a baby. So, we met with a nurse instead. She checked on the babies and gave us a thumbs-up on their progress.
I made it back home (by way of The Train Shoppe) and played a bit of Green Lantern: Rise of the Manhunters before we went out to meet the usual suspects for Clitorati.
This morning, following a series of disturbing dreams and fitful sleep, I found myself awake at 0630. Rather than toss and turn in bed, I made my way to the couch and watched TV. I actually got to see The Rifleman (1, 2) for the first time in ages. Then, the TV started watching me, as I nodded in and out of sleep for the next hour-and-a-half.
