I'm slipping on my single chore...

I've got a good gig at home. Alice and I have a 50's style marriage, where she takes care of the cooking, cleaning, making the bed, yard work, kids home work, shopping, and just about every thing else. My responsibilities are to bring the check home and wind the grand father clock. Oh, and I also barbecue. I think it's a fair trade off. lol.

Before direct deposit, the accounting people at work actually didn't give the check directly to me, they had a system with Alice and put it in my computer bag and she'd retrieve it. I guess I lost a couple. I was like a kid with their mitts sewn to a string and put through the arms of their jacket so they wouldn't lose them.

Lately I've been slipping on winding the clock. Normally, I have that thing going all the time. I like it when it chimes. I guess I got too much on my mind right now. I do want to say that it is not all a one way street at the Payne House. I do provide the entertainment. The kids and Alice think I'm the "family guy" and I do keep them laughing, even if it's behind my back when I'm frustrated and can't find something.

Last night was Thursday party night. After my speed work, Alice and I watched some YouTube videos, I iced my hamstring and we had some cocktails. The bad thing about having a few drinks is you want to snack on bad food. The good thing, is the next morning I'm motivated to train to burn off the damn calories.

Today I did my swim and did just that. Burnt those calories. I felt good, but not any where near as fast as my last Friday freak session. Last week I was burnt out and swam like a fish. This week I was fresh and swam over 10 seconds per 100 meters slower. It was strange. My training numbers have been in a strange sequence lately. Today my swim was 1:02:03. In that order, 1,2,3. What are the odds of that?

Swim - 1:02:03 / 3000 meters
