I went in to Creative Good to work on another mailing. This time featured various software annoyances—tomorrow we make another attempt to convince Microsoft Word to print the labels the way we want—as well as the discovery that 440 9-by-12 envelopes are heavy by the third block. They'll be heavier with the mailing in them, so I'm going to take them to the post office in two trips. (If Ann doesn't like that, she can carry them.)
The morning also featured cookies. Mark asked if I eat cookies, and I said something like "Yes, doesn't everybody?!" He unwrapped some homemade oatmeal cookies and explained that these were celebratory oatmeal cookies, because he and Allie had become engaged over the weekend. I said something appropriate, and listened, surprised, while he described the ring to Ann and Kat, who apparently care about such things enough to be interested not only in jewelry, but in hearing descriptions of jewelry.
By the end of the day, various bits of my arms and hands were aching, so I decided to do a workout focusing on upper-body stuff. I felt much better by the time I was done.
Cardio, 33 minutes, top heart rate 148. At![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cattitude's suggestion, I raised the resistance from 8 to 9 around minute 14.
Hip adduction, 115 pounds, 2 sets of 12.
Hip abduction, 95 pounds, 12, 4: stopped because of a twinge in my right hip.
Assisted chin-up, 8.
Back arch with physio ball, 3 sets of 15.
Crunches, 2 sets of 20.
Xpressline (because I wanted to get in some variety and still get home at a sane hour).
Calf machine, 65 pounds, 3 sets of 15
Stretches.
