Today is OR’s birthday! And, would you know, I’m actually driving the 5h30m to see him this weekend. The reason was baby GR as opposed to said birthday, but it doubles up well. And means, all the presents!!! CO picked up a present for GR (a maniacal & chimerical stuffie that would be horrifying if GR wasn’t pre-senses). I eye-spied about the house for OR only to come up with the leather-bound Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson – it’s a favorite of mine, he loves it, and it’ll be beautiful in his library. That one is a bit tough to give away, but doesn’t that make it a better gift?

TWRP and Magic Sword are playing at the Cornerstone in Berkeley on May 13 – tix on sale in two days. I’ll see if M / PT want to go a little closer on. And RN. And who else?

Weights-wise today was chest and tri’s. I went against the common wisdom by starting with triceps (specific group) and moving to chest (general group) – leaving me feeble for bench-presses.

To keep up the protein percentage of my calories I’ve been having whey & milk or yogurt along with a staple like black beans or quinoa insta-potted. Unsurprisingly gassy. Blender has a cracked pitcher (I honestly think the cat knocked it off the table).

Last task for the night: one of my heavy wool shirts needs it’s button sewed back on.
