Pretty Good Day (Dec '05)

(originally posted 12/16/05)

It was a pretty good day today. Firstly, it's Friday. Need I say more? When your alarm clock goes off at 5:00am 5 days a week, turning the damn thing off on Friday night is a real pleasure.

Secondly, I checked the internet this morning and saw that I had moved up a few positions in the Hammer ratings. Sweet. I expect the same to happen soon in the Weight Pentathlon ratings, but there is some question as to what my actual score was. The meet director posted a number that was about 50 points higher than I calculated. (I think he screwed up.)

Thirdly, I had a good workout in the weight room after work. I moved up a few pounds in 4 of the lifts, and just as importantly, I'm starting to feel good afterward instead of beat up.

And fourthly, Christmas is almost here. "Charlie Brown's Christmas" is on the tube as I type. And various family members are getting ready to come visit. I feel one of my prize winning cherry pies coming on. 'Tis the season to gain weight!
