I’m an old cranky guy who has a fairly set routine and I’m back to my old work and gym cycle. I’m not completely happy about it since I enjoyed my holiday more than being back at work, but that’s normal.<\/p>\n
The gym I go to is no longer a Crossfit gym, but it can still be pretty painful to take a few weeks off and come back into the daily routine. I get sore on a regular week, but it’s much worse after a break. And all that effort late in the day usually invigorates me and keeps me from getting to sleep on time. Today it finally caught up to me and I overslept. It might just be that I’ve been back for a week and the rapid weather change because my sister overslept as well. I rushed around and realized that I also forgot to plug in the hot water pot last night so I couldn’t get my breakfast going right away, either. I still got out the door on time only to find that the rain had really backed up traffic for the commute. I was pretty late.<\/p>\n
Fortunately, it wasn’t that bad a day. We took a long lunch to meet with old ham radio friends at Buster’s Texas Barbecue. It wasn’t the best barbecue, but I’ve been spoiled by Slabtown in my neighborhood. I’m a big geek and so we talked about all sorts of nerdy radio stuff.<\/p>\n
My iPhone decided to think that the headphones are plugged in ALL THE TIME, but then it decided to start working on its own. I’m not sure what’s going on, but it’s surely out of warranty and taking it apart is probably a big pain in the neck. Not that I’m not going to take it apart if it happens again, but at least I don’t have to worry about that today.<\/p>\n
And now it’s the end of the day and I can’t eat. Not by actual choice, but I realized that if I was going to do my fasting blood test, I’d have to forgo dinner completely tonight. Eating right before going to the gym is usually a bad idea for me, and the ideal 12-hour span would have put dinner during the time that I’m at the gym. I see an Egg McMuffin in my future after my blood test.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
