...eventually they start cancelling each other out. 

Today (well, yesterday, now) I left the house planning to go to work, work out after, then drive up to Oakland for dinner and a beer with an old "it's a small world" friend.

Ah, planning.

When I left work, I found that I'd forgotten to print directions to my dinner meeting.  OK, I thought, I'll work out and then head up there, and call home to ask for directions along the way. 

Then I got to the gym and found I'd forgotten to pack proper gym clothes.  So I drove home, took my shower, got directions, packed my gym bag, and headed for Oakland.  I got my dinner and chat time in, and worked out on the way home.

So it all worked out (so to speak) but geeze.

...so I'll keep doing it until I'm young enough.

It was a late workout, but I was bound and determined to get to the gym tonight.  Tonight's workout was the "Crossfit Total" - get your highest 1-rep set on the squat, deadlift, and military press (strict shoulder press with no help from the legs).  Then total the numbers for a general measure of all-around strength.

Squat: 355
Deadlift: 305
Press: 80

Total: 740

So I'm driving home, and I end up behind a car that has a mocking bumper sticker: "I'm only driving this way to piss you off!" 

Now it happens that this construction is one of my pet grammar peeves.  It should read "I'm driving this way only to piss you off."  The other construction suggests that driving is the only thing he does to piss you off, and honestly if he's putting stickers like that on his car then this isn't very likely. 

But it seemed to me that "I'm driving this way only to piss you off" reads a bit stilted.  It's a bumper sticker; it's supposed to be informal.  Finally I settled on "I'm driving this way just to piss you off," and that satisfied me.

At which point I realized that I need serious help.
