Exerbabble for 10-13-7

I woke up once in the middle of the night, aware that it was cool in my room, and aware of how warm I was snuggled naked under my fuzzy pink blanket. :: purrs :: You simply can’t get that kind of snuggly if you’re wearing clothes.

I wrote out my notecard while talking to Victoria on the phone last night, so I trusted I wrote it down correctly. I did a doubletake at the incline presses. “Whoa, moving up in the world.” With the knowledge that I did 35 lbs for full sets, 40 lbs felt good. My rows and my lat pulls fell off for some reason, but not too much to cause concern. Maybe I just overshot the mark the first time. Lowered the weight for shoulder presses, as I have issues locking out when they’re in the second exercise pairing. I wasn’t planning to hit three sets of nine, it just happened that way. I just could not lock out that tenth rep!

Added a single rep to close-grips. It happened rather suddenly. I thought I was good, then thud, couldn’t move it up beyond my chest without moving my hands out. Well, not a massive thud. Just, “Oh. I can’t move the bar.” Ha ha. As I say, 75 lbs can’t kill me. High pulls were tiring, as usual. Really get the heartrate up.

ryn: i don’t get it. she talks about it being “tiresome” to argue with you, but she’s the one who starts the argument and continues it beyond reason. (and it’s not just you, she posts ALL of her conversations to her boyfriends, and she just continues and continues…) she’s become one of the few people in this world i would literally bitch-slap if i met her in real life. she said i was self-centered too. what’s up with that? timmy, how do we write our entries to keep from offending her? i’m booting her. then i’m writing a mean entry because i’ve been seething over this for two days, now. i need to dump it into a nice sneezy-defacing entry.

it’s really nice to know i’m not the only one she’s gone nuts on, btw. thanks for the info.

ryn: you know, for the first hour or so after her horrible notes to me, i was thinking, “she’s right! i’m a bitch. i can’t believe i’m so full of myself.” you know the kinds of notes i leave. i give people a kick in the ass if it’s clear they need one (and let’s face it, darcey needs more than one). but she’s so intent on living in her tiny, poisonous box, EVERYTHING sounds offensive to her.<P> i’ve moved beyond feeling sorry for her. most of the time i have some damn good advice, and i don’t expect people to take it, but i won’t feel bad about it. bah… i need to go play the sims. i’m going to make a darcey sim and take away her toilet.
