On the plus side, insomnia can help with cleaning, even if it's out of order. On the downside, insomnia. I also discovered my first gerblin. Getting rid of pieces of tech that I MIGHT be able to fix. That's turning out to be tougher than I thought. But that's why I'm not cleaning alone. Except when I'm up at 2 am.

 

Insomnia bites rocks. I should try 2 a.m. cleaning binges. Heaven knows nothing else has worked ... 

I'll see your "tech I might be able to fix" and raise you a roomful of "thrift store furniture that would be so awesome IF I had time to re-finish it"

I have "gym equipment that I might use someday" as my hoarding shame... I have one of those dip station + knee raise + pullup bar combo things that is in pieces on the back table. I don't have space in my home gym to set it up but I keep hanging onto it...

And refuse to answer that question.

 

lololol ... that's not how that works - _ -

 

I looked for a cool gif reply to this, but instead found you jogging and a cool one of Paloma.

I have drawers full of these things, but like parralletes, and bands and shit like that.

Yesterday was an overall shit day. And I got nothing done. Except some phone calls at the end of the day. But it cleared like one half of one pile. I guess that's something then. Hmm.

Hey, getting half of the pile gone is great progress! So, that's something positive done!

[CourtnieMarie]

here's to a better today

Yup. took the rest of the pile with me to work. It's all phone calls. So I'll kill my lunch there.

Almost 10 hours of sleep and waking up naturally is a good sign.

[CourtnieMarie]

If we're scaling bets....I'm in...

 

I raise you a house full of 3.5 generations of stuff from wife's side (grand mother, mother, mother's "bestie") plus our stuff...not to mention that I've still got crap stored at my parents house...we have so much crap that we've got crap at other people houses...

 

Oh yea, and someone suggested putting a car in our garage...and I'm all like...you can put cars in garages?

So, so guilty here. Bands, gymnast rings, fractional plates are in my drawer, then I've got a portable ballet barre I haven't used in 2+ years under my couch (along with parallettes that I used over break, so not penalizing myself there). Maybe if / when I have a larger place more things will be set up, but that's a big if.

Maybe not a car, but I could probably fit these in my garage:

Not sure those would fit in mine...

Time to buy a 40 ft dumpster. And be indiscriminate. What should go?

So I'm reading through this litany of things we all have that we don't need but keep on keeping  ...  and suddenly I have a very clear and rather disturbing image of all this stuff in all these drawers (closets, piles, cubbies, whatever) all over the world - singing this at the top of their little thing-lungs.

That's the hard question. I work off if it actually helps me/If I've used it in the last 6 months/it makes me happy to decide to keep things. Not if it's good or not.

I think my 10 day work week is finally catching up to me. I just want to sit and do something quiet and mind numbing. Like watch cartoons with my kid.

 

Magnus Rushes In

 

Another 5x5 day. Gravity was increasing.

 

BB Deadlift: 95x5, 185x5, 225x4, 315x5. 4x335x5. Interestingly enough, I felt the strain in my front quads more than anything else for like the first time in ever I think. These were definitely tough. And for some reason I had zero grip strength. So My last two sets I strapped my wrists. No apologies.

 

Pullups: 3x5. It was supposed to be 5x5, but again with the gravity.

 

BB incline Press: 135x5, 165x5, 185x3, 2x165x5: I discovered something today, My hands are too far in for my bench press. I moved them out a few inches and suddenly I actually felt it in my chest. GO figure.

 

BB OHP: 115x7, 95x10, 95x8. Balls. These were tough. Ironically, Need A Hero came on again during this set. The album was set on random.

 

BB Curl: 60x10, 2x65x10. Last set was tough. But felt good. 

 

Standing Calf Raise: 2x450x10. Since my calves are already stupid strong, I've started making adjustments. This time, I decided to pulse at the top then do a 5 count descent. OOF.

 

Oh. The death of my clean eating. Yesterday was so bad. I ate so many things. I think I ended somewhere around 1000 calories over my limit. Bleh.

 

Taako's Good out here

 

Too tired for notes. I'm ready for a good long sleep.

 

Abraca Fuck You

 

Decimated 3 piles last night. Felt good.

Totally. I think part of it is the Prednisone I've been taking. One of the side effects is increased appetite. I imagine it will go away once I finish my last dose today and it clears my system.

Definitely a side effect I get from Prednisone.

I'm pretty damn tired of it though.
