That’s crazy about the lightning strike! 
Glad you were OK! And congratulations on the new mower! 
My neighbor across the street has had one of those for years and just recently bought one of those robot mowers that just comes out and mows the yard for you. Meanwhile my push mower and I are wondering what mistakes we’ve made in life to lead us to this point…

Friday food pantry workout
Plenty of cabbage, squash, zuchini, onions, carrots, sweet potatoes, bell peppers, papayas, peaches, cucumbers, and little salads.
The head honcho said… Thank God you’re here! We are short handed and somebody else said… she’s like having 5 people show up. Made me feel good 
Then we had 4 hours to kill waiting on the rodeo parade to start, so we got gas stations hamburgers and went to the park to eat and feed the geese ( chicken scratch, not hamburgers… lol they get WAY too much bread)
Then walked the whole park. After that we went to the other park and played in the river. Now, I have an awesome farmers tan because I was not planning on being out in the sun for 4 hours.
Saturday yardio.
Started at 8am and took a break between 2-6 then got back on it till 8pm. That’s enough todaying for today.
Will start the other weedeating early in tbe morning.

Sounds like a busy day. Your food pantry sounds a lot better than the ones we have here. Ours have lots of canned and packaged food. Good that your appreciated for what you do and good that your willing to volunteer. “enough todaying for today”. I like that. Go get them weeds in the morning!

I’m gonna get you some bubble gum.
You show up to kick ass and chew bubble gum, but it seems like you’re always out of bubble gum.

I lifted until the mosquitoes came. Loaded the gym up with bug spray on my way out.
We will see if the legs cramp up.

Is your hydration on point?

Yes, this is an ongoing issue. I think it’s an ankle mobility issue more than anything. Repetitive motion during day tightens things up and then cramps up at night.
I deal with them, too, though much less than I used to. My feet were cramping brutally and regularly for a while there, as well as my legs, but those aren’t as bad for me. I loosely attribute their reduction to the introduction of magnesium and unapologetic use of the salt shaker (lotta salt shaming at my house), but it may have more to do with the reduction in treadmill use, which I largely replaced with cardio classes as a warmup to lifting.
I sympathize - they suck.

Good looking workout. Sorry to hear about the mosquitos. They used to be really bad when we lived in Raleigh. I always trained with the door shut to keep them out. Fortunately, they aren’t that bad here.

The magnesium would probably help IF I could remember to take it.

Thanks! In my mind 
I’m going for a very low volume PPL split.
We have had some good rain so they are THICK right now. It was pretty cool (68) when I started this morning so I guess they were sleeping.

I take it to help with sleep (which it does, I pop awake much less than I used to), so I never forget.

They are having a benefit auction online for a local (well know) guy who was diagnosed with cancer. The prognosis is good but it’s going to take a lot of treatments.
I started the bidding on this but now there’s a couple of women duking it out. Think I will wait till the last minute to see if I can snag it. I know it’s a dick move but… A/C and mosquito free!
And yes, I donated a cake, flour tortillas + a gift card, and some homemade horse treats.

I don’t think it’s a dick move. And if you don’t win it, maybe for around the same cost you can just pay month to month to get you through summer.

Just posting this so everybody won’t think I am just being lazy. I fucked myself up last week!
Stopped at the local hardware store and bought the super duper toilet bowl cleaner because my 91 yo lil man has terrible stains. I have used this before with no problems. It contains a good amount of hydrochloric acid so I know to be careful. Put it in, turned on the exhaust fan and left the room for several minutes for each bathroom. Apparently that was not long enough.

Felt like hammered dog shit the rest of the week. Fever, chills, headache, joints hurt, throat felt like somebody sanded it with 80 grit paper. Blood in things that it should not be in. Scariest part… Haven’t been hungry. That is a big deal for me, because I am always hungry. Finally, after hacking up and lung to the point of puking a few times I think I am going to make it. Definitely not at 100 % but a helluva lot better than I was Wednesday night. We shall NOT do that again.

Ha! As if. But holy moly, I’m sorry you’ve been dealing with this!
I mean… !!! That is scary!

I’m very sorry to hear about that. 
Honestly, it sounds more like the flu than a reaction to the cleaner. 
Oddly enough, the flu has been going around here for the last few weeks. Really weird time of year for that…

It may very well have been. We were at the food pantry Friday. There is always somebody there recovering from, or has some malady.
