Lee,
oh god!
Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

Compassionately intolerant
For this third day of the reinvigorated squat challenge, I am taking Zenkitty's advice to use a couch as a 'touch point.' I can say that it has improved my form dramatically.
My legs really are parallel to the floor.
I tried not swinging my arms out in front of me. NO GO.
This means my legs are feeling it WAY more. I guess it also means I was not making the most of my squats last month.
Thanks for the reset, Zen!

Because books.
Lee had the Extreme Monday experience, I see. I say add bourbon.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Lee, sorry to hear about the anticipated stress at work. Am I to understand by items 2-4 that you are getting stiffed for someone else's use of fasttrak in your previous car? Grrr, argh.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I had some wine I needed to finish off. Bourbon may be later though.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Yipes Lee, that's not a good series of things to learn in one day.
thugkitchen.com is pretty awesome.
My kids drove me nuts all afternoon but have now settled into a good evening. I'll take it even though it's not really a win, more like a draw.
In mememe news, I took on my own personal onerous task day and somehow managed to schedule 2 necessary doctors' visits before the kids get out of school this Friday. Oh! but I still need to schedule Isaac's yearly check up.

I came home to two letters from Fasttrak telling me I now owe them $59 for evading tolls on two different bridges.

That sucks, Lee.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
What a PITA. I hope the work thing doesn't impact you too badly.
IMeN: how can I be so far behind when it's only Monday? I am destressing about the impending transition and work by reminding myself that if it all goes pear-shaped I can use the time off. And if it all goes just fine I have time off in three weeks. So everything is hunky dory.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Ugh, Lee. But, FWIW, I've had multiple snags with FasTrak in the past -- everything from transponder dying to expired credit card to accidental toll evasion by way of 3-4 booths in a row failing to ping the transponder -- and they've always been shockingly fast and unproblematic about getting everything fixed. As bureaucracies go, they're clearly doing it wrong.
