Well they said life wasn't meant to be easy but damn I didn't think today would be quite so busy. Up early (well compared to 5:30 am work days not sooo early) had breakfast with my daughter along with an hour on the couch having our Christmas Eve fill of Charles Dickens: my daughter loves the Jim Carrey animation of Ebenezer Scrooge (well actually for the last 20 mins I was happily watching it myself).
Then the daughter and I braved the last day rush to pick up some things at the Galleria. My god the line at the store Santa was huge, all I could think about was how hot and sweaty that poor old bastard must have been in that suit!
Bumped into big Les from 'Awesome As' gym equipment. He had been helping the Ruccis with some work in the new gym (building a huge platform) as they transition to the new premises for PTC Perth.
So quick lunch then 2 hours in the midday sun digging garden beds and basically performing my own backyard blitz given for some god only knows reason we volunteered to have the relatives at our place for Xmas lunch. I chug down a couple of litres of water then off to empty the truck of garden refuse at the local waste disposal only to find that they arent actually open today..argghhh!
Change of plan and an additional 30 mins out of my way to dump the load before heading back so I can get to the gym. Hell of a session, bench, cluster squats , finishing up with double pause deads. I was well and truly done, quick trip home to inhale as many quality calories as I could before time to get the daughter down for the night.
As a final treat it was time to assemble my daughters toy kitchen that Santa was bringing amongst other things for this Xmas. I wish old St Nick could have parked the reindeer and assembled the bastard himself as it was 2.5 hours later that the task was completed and here I find myself on Xmas eve blogging.
Stay safe, Happy Christmas and for my North American followers I still say Merry Christmas the whole 'happy holidays' to stay non denominational is horse shit!
Merry Xmas
Thomo
