Happy Festivus! Are you celebrating this holiday today?
I aired grievances at work and am going to the gym, so I feel like that covers feats of strength.

i only learnt festivus was a.. fuck..i forgot again..seinfeld thing?
like last year?
maybe longer ago than that…times been wierd since rona…
anyways…i air grievances year round…..and took my daughter christmas shopping for last minute mum stocking fillers today
i think having to seriously answer things like so…do you think shell like a lemon mentos lip gloss better than a strawberry shortcake flavoured one…. and not answering with shit…which one do you think she is going to eat?
counts as strength
gloss is supposed to be balm…btw
but you know….me…ornament
Did she pick the strawberry one?
she did not
50/50 on that call being correct….missus does love her lemon….but you know….thats actual flavour like…not mentos
in the grand scheme of things it doesnt really matter tho….
i just needed to give the missus some pressie wrapping time….
job done!
with a side of….holy shit…they serve hot coco with baileys here? and the whippey cream and marshmallows?
squeeee
we considered getting lunch too…but decided a place what offered hot coco and baileys was too dangerous to hang about in
It’s a holiday I don’t miss… because dad was usually the one doing the airing of grievances about how his kids disappointed and why life really sucked.
I was usually the target of his ire mostly because I didn’t listen. Turns out, 70% of the time he had a point, but I really just didn’t like how he saved every thing that pissed him off and unloaded when I just came home from exams. It took almost 2 decades to stop getting jitters during the holidays.
Ugh, that’s a stressful situation to be in again and again.
Met some friends for beers today, gave out last of friends Xmas presents w/ youngest daughter elf helper. Now 3 days of neighbor events! Tomorrow at far end of cull-de-sac a yearly tradition, Xmas at our place & first time w/ British neighbor for Boxing Day across the street! I would be in heaven if youngest didn’t promise to bring stuff to a sketchy part of Seattle tomorrow to give some free stuff on Facebook! I’m all for the concept but I’m having to go w/ her because she found this on Facebook & who knows what the fuck will go down & if it is legit.
Too much to ask for that the drop off spot is a designated area at a police department? A lot of the police stations around her have a parking spot for that sort of exchange which is very convenient.
I don’t have beef with anyone in my life, but I went to the gym and did my feats of strength. Deadlifted my weight today. Deadlifts are horrible. You think you’re going to die and you’re staring into the abyss. But they’re also the king of all exercises because they work every goddamn muscle in your body. Then an hour later you feel terrific (and the next day) because deadlifts increase all the good hormones. The natty gym bros will tell you to leave the ‘roids alone and do some deadlifts and squats. Really, the only reason I go to the gym is because I can listen to music as loud as I want uninterrupted for 90 minutes (thanks to earbuds). Plus it’s very cheap and the fact that I ain’t got shit else to do. And of course, I’ve got a bunch of tattooed hillbilly meatheads into tai chi now. They are a sight to see.
I like doing more than my body weight on the leg press. That makes me feel all sorts of good.
I haven’t deadlifted in years, at this point I know my form would be shit and I’d hurt myself probably.
