I’m trying to improve my performance at the gym. In the past my kettlebell swings were kind of awful so I had to work on those. Now my squats are a weak point and I have to figure out what I’m doing wrong. I’m thinking of setting up a web cam so I can watch myself. When I was down at San Francisco Crossfit doing back squats, I could see what the other people were doing but I couldn’t really tell what I was doing just by feel. I have gizmos and I may as well use them.

I got a call from our friend the contractor and his plumber is all set to start work in a couple of weeks. The biggest problem is that we have to move all our crap out of his way. The plumbing shouldn’t be so bad, but the next step is probably the electrical system and that’s going to be a mess. We’re going to have to empty out most of the first floor somehow. I suppose there’s no sense in worrying about it until an electrician comes in and looks at things.

In the mean time I can worry about other things like why I keep crashing my computers (it’s because I’m screwing with them) and why I was so crabby at work this morning. I think I was tired and my blood sugar was low. Probably more on the tired than the blood sugar, but at least it gave me an excuse to eat an English muffin with peanut butter.
