Dealing with some shoulder pain, which made me a bit more wobbly than this should have been, but glad to be back benching around 300.

Will be tough keeping this up over Christmas break travel.

The gift/strength I bring to mutual aid and community work is literally my physical strength. I enjoy being strong; but even more so I find a great sense of meaning in being able to do manual work alongside others.

We all bring gifts to liberation work. What's yours?

I was nervous about hammering in dowels b/c the body is stained glass. I didn't want impact to cause a crack, bend, etc. So using clamps to get a slow, steady pressure worked perfectly.

I drilled a slightly larger hole in some scrap to give the dowel somewhere to go & avoid tear out. #woodworking

A dado a day keeps the fingers away.

Working on the doors for a credenza I'm building.

I've had a handful of seizures in the last few days (simple partial--I just lose auditory/speaking, nothing worrisome) that are probably related to fatigue, but I made it to the gym.

I'm not going to compete for a bit, so I'm doing lifts I want (Olympic) instead of those I hate (deadlift).
