evidently, trip to visit in-laws in mo = restful
trip to visit parents in socal = stressful

wait, scratch "evidently", that should have been obvious.

i made a pr with my two sets of five, but as soon as i was strapped in to my 390 (yep, 390, even though i was only supposed to do 385. here's the reasoning: anyone can deadlift 10lbs, that's super easy even for a 5 year old. i can deadlift 380, so if i can do that and 10lbs is easy, i can do 390 no problem. also, if i was going to do 385 anyhow, 390 is just 5 more than that, so it should be, again, easy.) i forgot how to deadlift. that's how i know i'm not going to make it, when i'm all poised and ready to go and i can't remember just how it was that i had planned to lift all that.

two attempts later i figured it was time to quit. next time, i guess.

those desert-swollen tonsils probably didn't help, nor did the bay-area allergyruns. so many hurdles. fortunately, november is a long way off.
