My cousin left for UPenn today and I'm finally back in Chicago. It feels pretty empty in the room without her. I forgot how awesome a good roommate was. I spent the entire day cleaning and organizing my room since I'm still not working out to regain my mental and physical strength. I spent my time taking apart furniture and setting up the most badass wireless system ever.

This is two external harddrives and a printer connected to an Apple Airport Extreme Base Station. This gives me wireless storage as well as wireless printing on any one of my computers. I just ordered a $20 USB Hub to better facilitate data flow and to add two additional external harddrives to this setup. I love when things workout after a few hours fiddling with it.

Day 970

DIET

Oatmeal/Protein, Home Cooking, Protein Bar, and Steak/Vegetables.

Taking this week off to reboot the CNS. Some people take deload weeks but that personally annoys the hell out of me since I can't lift heavy. My deload week is just taking a few days off and then hitting it hard again. I'll hit legs tomorrow, cardio Thursday. And hopefully meeting a BB.com member for a deadlift session Friday. Let's get this party started.

This is also my last day in the suburbs. I send my cousin off to the airport tomorrow morning and I head back to Chicago. This vacation has been fun, but I'm ready to start working.

I cleaned my room today to decide what else I want to bring to Chicago. I found some old Christmas/Halloween cards that my friends sent me throughout the years. Life has been good.

And finally, I had a dentist appointment to treat a pre-cavity. I showed my dentist this awesome comic I found and we had a good laugh together. (Courtesy of the Oatmeal)

Went shopping again to look for some everyday business casual shoes. Was pretty successful, we found a store one minute away and I bought some awesome things.

Included in this was a SICK lime green converse shoe.

Went to the outlet malls in the suburbs to shop for some business casual wear. Came back absolutely tired. My cousin and I both got some pretty cool things. I can't wait to rock out the Donald Trump pants!
