First snow “storm” of the season. Roads are bad and every one forgot how to drive. Like we never had snow before here in Quebec.
Gym will resume wednesday morning. I may do a few sets in the basement tomorrow depending how long it will be to clear the drive way.
20 cm or 8 inches, tractor morning fun and shoveling.
Winter has arrived. Clients are wild and dumb.
Way too tired to drag my ass to the gym this week. Last night, I hit the bed at 8:30. So I slept a solid 10 hours not bad for someone who normaly get 7 or 8
Work is stupid crazy and it is not the black friday sale. Seem the lower the temperature, the lower the clients IQ get.
Hope resume gym next week. The cold is really hurting my leg.
Booo on the snow and cold, I hope your joints and pins don’t feel this way all winter, I think it will be a long one!

Poor tech got a bit freaked out. So I got, are you dizzy, sleepy, taking meds to slow your heart.
Me, no, an I just used the stairs to come up here all 4 floors and had a large coffee for breakfast.
So, I had to ask what was my HR.
She is like it is very low for a 40 years old person, it is 44 bpm.

Don’t know if I will do a light work out monday or just rest. I may try to see my chiro just to be in good shape.
24 hrs to surgery.
This morning the damn plate bit me very hard while I was pouring my coffee. I dropped my french press from the pain and surprise. At least it did not break.
It is such a strange feeling. Sting, bit, burn, cut, pressure. I hope that it will help. I can feel my left side slacking off in my work out or the right side take over.
Good luck tomorrow! Hope they finally get this straightened out!
