Thus far….

chest & back today at the gym. Flat bench press reached 245 lbs for a three rep set. I keep ramping up by sets of five reps to avoid heavy exhaustion and do it in quick succession allowing just enough rest for me to rise, add weights and sit back down and ready for the next lift. I always have benefited from working protagonist/antagonist muscle groups. It just makes sense, especially with chest & back. I never got into biceps/back, triceps/chest routines like most guys.
Hit Stop N Shop for a small list of needed goods, among them toasted almonds. Yeah, really.
Came home to find Nina with little Joe in the kitchen eating breakfast. I made quick work of stripping the bed, starting a dryer load & that washer load, set up the plant light in the spare bedroom, cleared my laundry from the bench in the bedroom, cleared out the dishwasher, loaded it partially and then played with Joe while Nina went out to get her bike from the shop. Joe began to run out of steam and that signalled the trip up to the sleeping cave and by 10:52AM he was out.
Made the bed with Nina and now she too is asleep. The t.v. is set to Fox News and I sit here comfortably as I hear my brother’s John Deere escavating vehicle outside next door levelling out the property to receive topsoil. My wife commented that next door would look better than our own and I just quietly stalked away upset because I wish I could do something more but I just can’t. I don’t have those kind of funds to have the entire lawn razed, re-leveled and re-seeded. Of course while we would be at it I’d want to do a sprinkler system because that would be key to keeping it looking nice. Anyway, just another pipedream for now.
Yes, I am feeling pretty downtrodden and pathetic right now so you don’t have to mention it.
