I did 300 push-ups today which is a new high. Not looking forward to how my triceps will feel tomorrow.

Also, fired up the grill, threw some burgers on, went back to flip them to find them raw and that I had ran out of propane.

Went for a really long walk today and getting some sunshine was just what I needed.

I'm about to do online TV trivia with a bunch of strangers from the library on Google Meet. Wish me luck.

I spent an hour outside with my neighbor and our dogs...
My eyes are redder than the fucking Terminator and my nose is now a running faucet. I doubly hate this time of year right now.
BUT... it's Star Wars RPG night!

BUT... it's Star Wars RPG night! Allergies are a right koont at the moment. What are you doing for exercise these days since all the gyms are closed? You have weights at home?

BUT... it's Star Wars RPG night! Allergies are a right koont at the moment. What are you doing for exercise these days since all the gyms are closed? You have weights at home? I have a set of three resistance bands from Target, dumbbells up to 20lbs, and a doorway pullup bar. That's really it. My Big Three: Pullups/Chinups (I like to change grips every workout because my elbows sometimes get kinda fucked and doing so helps a bunch). I do 6x10+. Bulgarian Split Squats/Pistol Squats. 6x10/8 (the pistols are fucking brutal)... for the Bulgarians, I do have some dumbbells that I can/do use. Incline pushups (where your feet are on a chair)/Dips (using two chairs). 6x10. (with pushups, I do them super slow and contract HARD at the top, then use the bands as the sets progress... with the dips, I have a weighted vest I use). My Three Freebies (2 circuits): Something for my back (banded rows are my go-to... but I'll do whatever, the pullups/chinups will have already gotten my back worked out hard). Something extra for my legs (step-ups on the stairs are GREAT and super simple... just focus on the one leg at a time). Something for my chest (I like to do explosive pushups from the stairs... so I start with my feet on the floor and my hands on the fourth step and then I push as hard as I can to try and stand fully upright). Posture exercises (because I have shit posture): Face pull using a band. Pull aparts using a band. Then whatever random ab work I decide to do that day. I do have an ab wheel, but honestly at this point in my workout I'm beyond fucking tired, so I'll do something like leg raises>crunch.

I do a lot of the same tbh, with my doorway pull up bar being IRON GYM which Iβve had for a long ass time but coming in clutch as hell right now. π
You can actually do a hell of a lot with that thing besides pullups and chinups; itβs super adaptable. I also have one 45lb weight which I use for individual isolated muscle exercises. But just sheer body weight/resistance techniques really are one of the best workouts to do.

Iβve been having this recurring series of dreams forming an overarching narrative where Iβm a hitman. Itβs essentially just a fictional version of my life where a lot of the people in my life appear as βcharactersβ of themselves. My brother is my partner who is sort of the harsher, more brutal mentor role β I am the more inexperienced partner with more, uh, sensitivity. My dad is our handler. My best friend just discovered my double life and is growing curious and might want βinβ on the life.
Oh, and the catch is: I never actually dream about the violence!
Just wanted to share because I just woke up from one where we were infiltrating some high-security facility and we were trying to escape stealthily under the guise of employees I guess and some random guy willingly gave us the βpassβ to get through the security checkpoint when I openly complained about it and just gave us $400 for good measure β in the form of a $400 bill of course.
I wish I remembered more of these dreams because this shit is wild.

I went for a long drive today, jamming to tunes and taking in sunshine. I dropped off a mother's day card and some tea for my grandma on the back porch of her apartment at the retirement home. Then I called her, surprised the crap out of her, and we had a long visit standing eight feet apart outside. She showed me her garden and we did some catching up. Even though we couldn't hug, it was so nice to see her.

Made a Thai peanut chicken today. Came out really good... though I did have to google "what do I do if I add too much vinegar?"
The answer is sugar. It really was that simple.

I found out from the media that our union has offered us school employees up to volunteer at hospitals, long term care units and group homes -- on a volunteer redeployment basis. We have been given zero information or direction as to what this looks like, but one news article implied they will take our benefits and income away if we don't volunteer. So, I'm trying not to freak out.

My mom has been in deep withdrawal of seeing her grandchildren (aka my cats), so she finally made the plunge and got her first cat! He's an 8-year-old ragdoll named Timmy and my entire life my dad said hell would freeze over before we could get one -- but he is equally in love. She sends me pictures every ten minutes and it's the cutest thing.

I've spent the last nine business days trying to get through to Service Canada and this morning was finally put on hold -- which is huge progress. Three hours with elevator music and I spoke to a human being who sounded so sad and defeated, poor guy. Got all my problems fixed though.

I'm so fucking done with this bullshit we're living in. I told myself I'd use this time to write and be productive but I can't be motivated to do anything now, especially with my current sleep schedule being 5 a.m. to 1 p.m. at this point. And the weather is beautiful and all I want to be doing right now is driving my car with the windows down and seeing my friends. Instead I've barely had any social interaction in the last month and I barely even get out of bed these days. And I'm especially sick of these fucking people who walk around acting like this is over and getting back to business as usual. I sometimes will go to my nearby park to take a walk and there's usually dozens of people there walking around without masks -- it's sickening, probably literally. Every day I see how dumb people are being and it reminds me that we're probably gonna be living in this hell for like another year. I don't know how I'm gonna get through another week....
Anyway ... rant done. I've just been feeling really shitty.
