Much thanks to Amy P for this insidious nugget.  Shared with eh, good for savasnha.

The growth along the marsh levees is getting high and its cover now for wrens, flycatchers, goldfinches, bushtits and swallows.  There are flocks of red-winged blackbirds in the cattails and broken duck eggs on the levees.  The white pelicans are sporting the beak knobs that show up during nesting season.  There are black-crowned night herons and green herons in the willows.  It's noisy.  It's a really really nice place to walk the dog;  she is a good dog, she leaves the birds alone, though she'll chase a deer.  But not for long.
Friday
MH Yoga at noon.  Sweatfest.
Saturday
Too much wine Friday night, in Sat. for a solid four hours billable and hit the gym at 3:00.  No, you do not get to skip this:
10+10x5 single arm 16kg warm-up, straight, no chaser.
Long cycle clean and press, 5 double 20, five double 24, 1+1x2 32
Front squats, double 16 x 10
Figure 8 to hold, 10 20 to 10 24
5+5 single leg deads 24kg, twin 24kg last set.
3x.  Very good sets on the 32, hangover and all.
30/30 24kg swings x 10.  I really really wanted to stop at 7.  NO.

Really nice dog walk.

Tuesday
MH Stiff Guy class, then to CT late for quick hit, circuits 5x through
5 suitcase deads, twin 28
5 clean and press, three second hold, to whatever presses you got left in you  1st circuit twin 24, 2-5 twin 28.  PR on the double 28 presses, would have been shocked if I couldn't, holds had me fried for press, guessing maybe 3 reps without holds, maybe better.  I remember how shaky the double 24's were, less than a year ago.  Now that's child's play.  Totally.  Fuck entropy.
Burpees, sets 1,3,5 evil evil slow burpees with push-ups 8 really hard.  10 fast circuits 2,4.

Saturday
Contemplated yoga but talked way into marsh walk describing spring scene to CT night before.  Morning fucking gorgeous, dog joy and avian heaven.  In office by noon, 150 minute hard edit leaves TRO brief tight as a fucking snare drum.  Going to kick some ass.
Save as new file at 2:38 to send to client.  Go to attach to email, gone.  Fucking worldocs nightmare bullshit.  Suck it up, re do.  FML.  Fucking FML.

"The wind rose up today and it blew my blues blues away
Go ahead if you have to leave me
You ain't coming back this time, I hope that's fine."
