September 1st, 2022 A.D. - Light squat, guitar work

 01.09.2022

Not as nice of a day. Feeling dragged down. Usual baloney. I'm yet to learn to be this different kind of me. Sleep and nutrition are somewhat okay. It's pretty late. I've had one coffee. Hope to be able to have a relatively normal day tomorrow as well.

Workout

Some upper body stick moves

Squat

Stick for 10

20 for 10

50 for 10

90 for 8

130 - 3 sets of 5 - nice, feeling energy accumulation. On a day like today, when my sleep wasn't quite perfect, and my nitrtition somewhat disbalanced, and most importantly - some fatigue from yesterday I can feel my cardio working slower. There is less "oil" to move things around, if you will. And I got a little "distracted" as well. What do you know. Overall, I feel nice.

Sanded down the paint spills on the neck. Finally washed my varying grit sandpaper. Why didn't I do that before? I did that when I was sanding down the initial finish. Now I'm waiting for it to dry.

---

Did some pretty violent sanding on the body. Last time I didn't use block, and today I did. I definitely evened out a few spots, but not the most. I didn't use any low grit paper, but couldn't avoid scratches. There's only two layers left, and today I've made with the fact that it's just not going to look "factory fresh". But it is going to look nice. I'm gonnna be hand sanding and only block sanding very gently, with 800 and 1000. 1000 grit paper was good enough to remove spots on the neck without removing the single layer of black paint. Tempted to experiment with layering paint, but I don't want the neck to be much thicker. Only two more layers on it before lacquer.

All this took me a bit of time. The outside was wet after the rain. I painted the neck with another layer, trying to be as gentle as possible, starting my spraying from far away. Didn't turn out ideal, but close to good. And the body also turned out better once I started paying attention.

 08.10.2023 Great day, feeling great. Woke up earlier than normal, worked more that usual. Feeling extra energy. The night was cold. I kept seeing dreams about (spoiler) The Emperor from BG3, hehehe 😉 Cause I watched one of his cutscenes, even though I ain't been playing yesterday. Yesterday, I was drained. I was drained on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday at night, to a varying degree. Today I feel much more fresh than I have been in a long time. Like, a part of my brain is extra creative. Also, I have been eating rather little - a couple eggs swallowed hastily, a few bananas, a few glasses of milk. Two mokas and one small conventional brew. I'm thinking of doing bench today, and PP + Squat tomorrow. Reasonable? Yes, on the surface it is reasonable. Light-medium-light bench, sets of 5, around 120. 4 sets of 5, maximum velocity, no pauses whatsoever. When you've got the same muscle strength composition as me it sort of feels easier to bench with a pause, and bumpi...

 10.04.2023 Nice day. Not too bad. Sleep - 4/10, nutrition - 6/10. Ran out of coffee, used some of the robusta from the stash. Now having one, fighting the desire to lie down, cause if I lie down I'm just not gonna be able to sleep. Jammed. I figured back in the day I made a lot of these micro-songs that are guitar and bass and midi drums. So, that's one of the things that fuels creativity. You have to save them and listen to them. Then you get something. My old headphones are buzzing a lot. Might be time to buy new ones soon. *** Today's workout is 4 sets of 5 with 77,5 percent. A sixth session in the program which I've been using in defferent variations for everything. So, 77,5% of 150 would be 116. But I'm not perfectly sure if I can do that well in my current shape. So, I might want to get up to 115 starting from a lighter weight. Maybe from 110. Now that I think about it, it's actually quite doable and it's very late. I don't want to hurry. And I do...

September 14th - Engaging in a variety of hobbies at once, nonchalant grip PR

 14.09.2022 DL plan - 175 for 5, 200 for 5, 210 - 5*5, 200*1 clean single, maybe even overhand. Nice day. Slept very little. Ate a lot before I went to bed, so I had no appetite when I woke up. Tried to call and message some of my clients. Coordination issues. Sometimes people just can't pick a proper time. Understandable. I often think about how humanity evolved to proritise quick decisions over slow, but 100% sure ones. Better be two times faster and 80% sure than two times slower and 99% sure, amirite? He he. Having my second coffee. Or third? Not sure. Can't remember. Today I'm trying to overstuff the moka pot. The taste is awesome, but the brewing process feels dubious. Played guitar a bit. Practicing licks, playing quickly, playing up the neck. I don't gotta play, I gotta write and record lyrics and vocals. I already made a somewhat decent verse. And I have a rough idea for the chorus. I can't believe how much slower my process has become. What is it? Playing ...
