Good morning and hello from my new home office!

After I killed my computer and brought it to the repair shop, I set myself up in the living room. I actually prefer working in my office away from any sort of distraction, but it’s fun to work with the TV on in the background every once in awhile.

I like watching The Today Show and then LIVE! with Kelly and Michael in the morning. I only half-watch while I’m working, but my ears perk up from time-to-time when I hear interesting headlines or features. Yesterday, for example, I heard about a building in London that is melting cars on the ground below because the reflection it creates from the sun is so incredibly hot and powerful. Isn’t that nuts?

So, yesterday afternoon, I spoke with the repair guys about my computer and, GOOD NEWS, it’s fine. Nothing was lost! Hooray! It turns out a power surge from a recent lightning storm fried the AC power adapter, which prevented my computer from turning on. The repair shop had an extra power adapter on hand, so they tried it out with my computer and it started right up. They ordered me a new one, so as soon as it arrives, I’m back in business. Yay!

I am so relived that everything worked out with my computer. Although, I have to admit, I actually wasn’t all that worried about it. Mal even made a comment about how “impressed” he was with how I handled everything since computer problems typically make me mental. While I don’t regularly back up my computer, I have every freelance piece I have ever written as well as a number of important documents saved on my Google Drive, and my blog is backed up on its own server and doubly backed up via VaultPress.

If I had truly killed my computer, I would have lost a bunch of my photos, but a lot of them are on CNC (and backed up) and the really important ones (i.e. wedding photos) are on an external hard drive as well as a DVD, so I guess the worst case scenario wouldn’t have been so bad. Even still, I am SO GLAD everything worked out, and I definitely learned my lesson. Now, I need to install an automatic back up on my computer because I know I won’t do it. Any suggestions?

Breakfast

I ate a super delicious breakfast this morning!

For the past three mornings, I’ve eaten the exact same breakfast””a quick and easy recipe that I created for an upcoming post on The Laughing Cow blog. It involves a three-ingredient pancake and cinnamon cream cheese, and, holy goodness, it’s delicious. I can’t wait to share the recipe with you guys!

After breakfast, Murphy and I took a trip to Marylou’s for iced coffee and a Milk Bone. I also bought a couple of pounds of coffee as gifts for friends, so I may or may not have bought an extra bag for a giveaway on CNC tomorrow. Just a heads up! You like White Chocolate Chip coffee, right? Thought so.

I was planning to do my long run later this morning, but yesterday’s CrossFit workout kicked my butt. I definitely need a rest day today.

thruster and kb swing WOD

METCON

“Triple Play”

AMRAP 3:
5 Thrusters (135, 95)
10 KBS (53, 35)

-Rest 2 minutes-

AMRAP 3:
7 Thrusters (115, 75)
10 KBS (53, 35)

-Rest 2 minutes-

AMRAP 3:
9 Thrusters (95, 65)
10 KBS (53, 35)

The goal of this WOD was to do more reps (or at least as many) as you did on AMRAP #1 on AMRAP #3. As you can see, the weight for the Thrusters drops each round, but the number of reps increases. I did this workout as prescribed, so I started with 95-pound Thrusters. (Yes, they were brutal.) I only made it through 2 rounds + 2 reps, but I thought when I took 20 pounds off my bar for AMRAP #2, I’ll plow through the reps. Um, not so much. I only did one more rep on AMRAP #2. On AMRAP #3, I managed to eek out an extra three reps, but, man, it almost killed me. Thrusters always make me feel so awful. They’re the best and worst at the same time!

Questions of the Day

Are you a worrier? What do you find yourself worrying about the most?

Is there anything worse than heavy Thrusters?
