That's the only way I can describe myself right now. At peace. Seriously...I'm totally relaxed. Can't think of a reason why, I just am. And I like it.
I lifted again today, as always. I awoke to the blaring noise of my evil alarm every day this week, dragged myself under some cold water, and STILL ended up a good 10 minutes late every day. I even tried moving my alarm back 20 minutes, to no avail. Cursed am I, it appears. The 6 week rocks and sucks at the same time...its the heaviest lifting I've done in 2 years, concentrated to force me to hurt, and I love it. But I hurt. Enough said.
Played three games of chess today and somehow pulled out three wins. This is almost scary. Winning at chess reenforces my need to join the chess team next year, something I prolly won't have time for. And I really am a bad player...I've just been getting lucky. That, or they're letting me win. Maybe the latter. Darn chess people who are so much better than I.
I got incredibly pissed at myself this afternoon, though. I was driving to Joe's place for what turned out to be an awesome get-together, and I WROTE DOWN THE WRONG STREET NAME! I spent 30 minutes driving around on the wrong road, 2 miles from where I shoulda been. But it gets better. Suddenly, I realize the car is on empty. Not "near empty" or something, but flat out empty. In terror, I throw it to neutral and begin coasting the 10 miles back to the nearest chevron. Then I gas up, call joe, and get to his place in 10 minutes. Weirdest part...the gauge was wrong. I still had 1/16th of a tank yet, all the hills must have thrown it off or something. The fear was nice, though.
This was the first "party" in which the majority of the time was devoted to friendly discussion and debate. A rare things these days.
A huge welcome home to the 2004 Plungers! The legacy continues.
Go listen to some Alkaline Trio...I need to crash now. Laters.
