Today I explained the term “Charlie Fox” to two Taiwanese coworkers. I am an international bad influence! Go me.
Today I also did another weight workout. I do not seem to be sore yet – last Friday it hit me almost right away. I’ll see what happens tomorrow, but I don’t think it will be as bad. Guess I should use more weight next time. Not that I *want* to be very sore. But if I’m not, I do have some room to use at least a bit more weight without kiling myself. Also, I know I went too low on the deadlift weight – I’m still not entirely confident of my form in those. Next time I’ll use 20 lbs more, because I should at the very least match what I know I can squat for the same number of reps.
Worth celebrating: as of today my parents have been married for 46 years. Good example.
Annnnd, in a dazzling display of obliviousness…. today I am wearing new trousers I bought while in the US. (These, if you care.) It took me until just now – 18:05, to be precise, the end of a full workday – to realize they have front pockets. They are on-seam and are so carefully sewn closed that I didn’t see they were there until I noticed an odd extra bit of fabric, down inside, at the front of both hips. Hi, my name is Dichroic, and I am baffled by my own clothing…
(But happy to have more pockets! They do have back ones, which also needed to be carefully unstitched or slit but were at least obvious.)
