No that's not right either
May. 21st, 2015 07:34 pmI apologize for writing about the gym, but I'm in the fucking place 1-2 hours a day 4-5 days a week if not more. I care, so it's what I write about. It's pretty self-indulgent, but if I did art I'd post about that.
SO
I gymmed today. My DL sort of went up at 365 for 5, but it was not good form and even though I tried to re-lock in-between reps I definitely used my lower back too much. I think, as my back and legs were tired for multiple days from my teeny tiny little runs, that I'm hitting a ceiling on trying to simply do 3 10-minute miles at an incline of 3 while lifting/recovering from surgery. However, my record pre-surgery was only 405 for 3 so I should not be freaking out...I think I got too used to adding 20 lbs a week on my recovery schedule. I was curious where my steam would run out...perhaps here. So I could pull back and do more weight, but in my pursuit of my pants fitting again, perhaps I should drop the weight as if doing a reset, focus on doing more volume, and just take the hit that running takes away but keep the running until I am doing 3 miles in 30 minutes at angle 3. I'm not setting records anyway.
I think tonight I'm going to drink beer and look at porn alone, then email my gf. By this I mean I see home depot has a sale on ceiling fans, and I'm about to get some. There is a super sexy one going for only $100

though I fear the quality. Talking to Kirstin last night I asked about her former-home's ceiling fans which were also super sexy, and she knows her quality. She also re-emphasized why quality matters so much - she once had crappy fans, and they move, swing, click, creak, and squeak...that would SUCK and 2 of them are 12' off the ground. Huh. So tonight I'm going to look at sexy ceiling fans, probably drinking as I got notice I get 2 hours off tomorrow for the holiday, and email my gf with links to ceiling fans. She's that lucky!
House? Fuck that 2-3 weeks bullshit. I notice not every day involves working in the place, though on my last visit I did see half the wood floor was in place on the main floor. Jordan noted the windows are ordered but will be here in about...4 weeks. Another month? I had hoped to move in on memorial day.
I'm not even in a rush anymore, but I am counting my cash, watching the market, and feeling odd that I'm really out of money. You sacrifice for literally decades to build your pile and...hope for the payoff. Mine, if achieved, is a long slow slope.
Oh, I'm also in a mood - was before my meh gym workout. I was in training with OGC today and more and more I'm feeling competent in my area of law. My closest-thing-I-have-like-an-enemy asked questions all day that all had the same resounding theme - is there a cheap and easy way to do this. "Can I video depo? What it...what's wrong with phone? Do we always need to do that? What if we just..." it was amazing that he didn't notice (did others)! If I could just work on my work-social skills a bit...but at some point the payoff isn't worth it. Again, a GS-15 isn't that much more money. Still, OGC is prestigious so I should keep that door open (and I think I'm doing a good job with that) and it's the 905 series too...I also heard a big player noting they hadn't litigated in years, a downside and perk (yes both) of managing attorneys.
