    The problem is I am back and forth between here and 7 hrs/4 states away. I went to the county clerk and was bearer for my SO and I voted there this am, no more of this nonsense to go to the post office daily. The online "tracking" is apparently bullshit (ballot was mailed out! period.).

    My friends report a lot of extra ballots mailed to them, for former residents (30 yrs ago), dead people, etc. It's a real mess. The voters/general public in the clerk's office while I was there, asking does this mark I mistakenly made on my ballot invalidate it? How do I fill this out? Is this signature good? Which envelope goes in which envelope? Leave this perforated flap on it even after I fill it out? Those poor clerk office employees never stopped on the phones and emailing people's questions and otherwise helping (kudos to them).

    Seems it would have been easier to say, request absentee if you're afraid to go vote? But probably not knowing how many, how to be prepared, so spending all this money on last minute mass mail-in is better? IDK, I don't have time to think these days, but what we have is mass Chaos. Gov. Murphy outdid himself on this one (he did say, the 200# mail found abandoned on the ground in N. Arlington was 'back in the mail stream' - but what does that guarantee?) When Trump is right, he's right, I guess. Like the choice is not stressful enough (they're like 3yos fighting), we needed this added stress. And I wonder why my lifts are shit, LOL!!

    All while packing between sets. Still hemming and hawing, bringing my bars and weights since I'll have nowhere to put them; there is a gym AND a CF, I guess I can schlep them and donate/sell if I see I'll never be able to use them? Pack them now, pack them in 1.5 weeks? Will I become a pile of old jello?

    ...
    Try not to let your knees kick back (#dontbeme). There's that section on the "terrible block of wood" in the book...helps to keep you focused on keeping your knees forward as you drahve out of the hole. That way you're going "straight up".

    It's something I'm still working on. At lighter weights, I'm much better these days. But once things get "heavy", my default is to get into my hips way too much.
