@FlashMobOfOne @wheeljack I’ve been trying to figure out if a foot injury is actually healing or if the cold weather just means I haven’t worked out enough to notice it hurting

I work out way too much to experience this much difficulty opening a jar of salsa!

@wheeljack I am consoling myself by remembering that I fried my grip strength yesterday with all those deadlifts

@FlashMobOfOne ha! I would say it worries me so much specifically because I work in tech.

Honestly, though, it’s the business models that bug me, not the tech tools

@FlashMobOfOne also, I’m a huge cranky pants in the entire topic and probably not the person with the most reasonable perspective.

@FlashMobOfOne @aronow I see a big difference in having my employer know what I’m doing on their work device/on their behalf and an unknown third-party.

I also know that companies like Zoom and MSFt have rules about how that data is handled (although who knows if it is followed)

@FlashMobOfOne @aronow I suspect the Fedi is more cautious about AI note taking tools than much of the world, fwiw.

I would worry about what topics the note taker is recording- you’re probably not talking about anything super confidential in an interview, but...

The only good thing to say about today’s workout is that it was over fast.

4 rounds of
15 kettlebell ground to overheads
60 seconds of sprinting on the elliptical

I actually like ground to overheads, but breathing was not easy after the first set.

Lift weights faster, I guess

@valhalla it really is! He’ll be the first to tell you no one properly appreciates him

I just took a five minute break to hug the cat while singing about how I was hugging the cat.

Said cat is pretty sure he has earned some wet food for getting through that without clawing me.

@FlashMobOfOne At least there’s minimal risk of catching the city on fire today?

But seriously, wtf?

@FlashMobOfOne he’s having one hell of a mid-life crisis.

I’m pretty reluctant to express certainty in much of anything, but <whispers> I doubt he’s going to pull it off </whisper>

@FlashMobOfOne I winced in sympathy. Milk and workouts do not agree for me at all.

It only took me 45 minutes, but I made it.

12 lunges is simple. 12 lunges after 22 Turkish get ups, 36 curtesy squats, 36 air squats and all of yesterday’s nonsense? Yeah, bit harder.

V-ups were the only one I had to break up, though!

I have accomplished a workout.

4 rounds
Elliptical equivalent of 200m run
10 lunges
10 push press
10 candlestick/situp combo deals

Followed by real lunch and 10 cookies (I didn’t count the cookies, but there were some)

@madgeface thank you. I’m relived I was here for them

@inarticulatequilter I keep telling myself I can’t get a sewing machine because I don’t have a dedicated Sewing Project Area for said machine.

Nevermind that I could swivel some things out of the way and work easily on my desk.

I may be overcomplicating things?

Me: I think I’ll read a bit to relax before bed

My book: how do you feel about a slow-building plague that creates a creeping sense of dread?

@FlashMobOfOne I am wearing my Hanukkah Pajamakkahs.

They glow in the dark, a fact I discovered while in the dark.

I would like to wear pajamas to the library because pajamas and warm and comfortable and so is the library.

Libraries have books. My house has books. Through transitive properties, they are the same and have the same dress code.

Also, I am lazy and my pants all seem to be in the wash
