Last week I thought I'd get better acquainted with the credit union accounts I set up last year. But searching through my suitcase, messenger bag, and other places I stash hardcopy, I couldn't find any account numbers or "welcome kit". I can log into my application online and pull a reference number from it, and that's all. I felt like I'd like to have my ducks lined up a little better than that when I call to set up online access, so I searched through my storage unit... to no avail. The storage facili... (...more)

3x cybex circuit targeting higher weights, and 3.3mi / ~43m pushing endurance. Some combination of low atmospheric pressure and going late in the day palpably hampered my performance. Probably didn't help that I worked out hard just yesterday too. leg curl: 12x 90# squat press: 16x 230-250#. A little easier than leg press. overhead press: 6-8?x 70#.

Doc Aaron (the acupuncturist who I knew from years back at Nakava) had mentioned when we reconnected recently that he knew the owner, that he stopped in once a week to arm-wrestle him. So I approach... (...more)

Bed at a reasonable hour, woke around 3:30AM but went back to sleep easily, woke before my alarm, coffee + vitamins. It's been on my mind that I haven't done anything with my credit union accounts since I opened them last fall, so I thought I'd at least take a peek at current balances and start a register. But apparently I never got around to establishing web access. I have a couple scraps of literature, but not the "welcome kit" nor anything that shows my actual account numbers. I dug through my storag... (...more)

Exercised my heart out, subtracting the midday cup from my 2-cups-a-day coffee habit, got to bed earlyish but not crazy early - 10:30 or so - and woke 1:30AM. Now it's 6:15. fml
