    Have you had a family meeting about how to make it all work? Maybe meditated on what you're going to do about the meet in August? It's enough time, in my opinion. Not optimal, but it's enough.

    One thing we did here when I decided not to do a contest was we made a list of pros and cons on our kitchen whiteboard and pulled out receipts….cons was too long of a list and the "to do" list on whiteboard that is perpetual, was too long as well. Made sense!
    BABY MUSCLE!!

    At the same gym that I had left, a friend of mine was thrown out for posing...IN A VACANT CLASSROOM!

    Solid advice about the family meeting and listing the pros and cons. I'll be using those ideas!

    Gonna venture a guess you train at a REAL gym. I have to settle for "health clubs" due to the family needs.

    My former coach is Dave Pulcinella. I told him I was doing walking lunges with 40s and he called me on it. So next leg day I took a vid to prove it and showed it to him at my next weigh in. In that gym I had to walk up and back past several soda and snack machines in the hallway outside the weight room. He saw the vid and he said, "Where are you training, the supermarket?!" Yep, that pretty much sums up the atmosphere at a "health club".

    I've tried to load vids here from my phone but it doesn't work. Even tried emailing a vid of my last pullup PR to Curt but he couldn't get it to post either. :-(

    Mmmk...so I have some breaking news on the powerlifting front.

    In addition to the Aug 20 state championships...just announced today...there will be another meet in October or November AND CLOSER TO MY HOME!

    The Oct/Nov meet might interfere with my kids' swim season so before the PL meet date is announced I'm going to chat with my kids' swim coach and find out if she has those dates yet. Should help in making a decision on my own competitions. The PL meets in this area have been filling up the same day registration opens so I will need to decide very quickly what I'm going to do.

    And on the home front...

    It's been very tense here and not out of the woods yet.

    On Tuesday my mom went in for some planned outpatient surgery, my sis went with her as she lives nearby (NJ). Surgery went well, sis brought mom home. Mom had a few bites of food within an hour of coming home (per the doc's ok) and started feeling nauseous. She goes to the bathroom, calls for my sis. Long story short, my mom suddenly started bleeding excessively, my sis described it as a scene from chainsaw massacre, mom's eyes roll in the back of her head and she starts shaking uncontrollably...my sis calls 911 cuz she can't get the doc on the phone. Ambulance arrives in minutes, mom goes to ER by ambulance. Due to the heavy volume of post-Memorial-Day patients in the ER, they had mom in the hallway...FOR FIVE HOURS. :-/

    She's 79. :-/

    So because she had eaten something they had to wait a looooonnnng while before they could put her under again to check for internal bleeding. Everything checked out fine internally, cauterized the internal bleeding and back out again. She spent the night in the hospital and was supposed to go home yesterday morning...her blood count had dropped...A LOT...so she had to stay yet another night in the hospital. This morning her blood count was up enough that they felt comfortable enough to release her. Poor gal. She's not a sickly person, healthy as a horse in fact, so this was a real ordeal for her.

    So now we wait and hope she recovers quickly.

    This was the first of two procedures she needs and we were told this was the easier of the two.

    Update on my mom.

    My sis went to the hospital this morning to pick her up as she was told they would release her. My sis has been there since 10:30. The doc STILL has not signed my mom's release so they've been waiting around all this time. Wuuuuuuut???!!!

    Sis texts me, "Doc just arrived". I replied something I won't repeat that I'm sure made my sis bust out in laughter.

    Wow.
