Today was the start of my daughter's first full week of remote schooling. To say that we were both stressed is an understatement. To add to the stress, we found out that something got into the chicken coop at her Dad's house and all her chickens got killed. The poor kid was having a shitty Monday. So when her phone decided to throw out error codes, she lost it. And in turn, I started to. Started to. I told her that I wanted her to calm down and destress with some cartoons because I needed to go downstairs and have my mental time. Tonight was not about getting in a workout. I truly didn't want to, didn't care to, couldn't give two shits if I lifted more than my ass off of the couch. But I knew that I needed some way to let out my frustrations. That's what I did with a quick bench session with my guy. I increased my working sets to my good 'ol 115lb. I totally wimped out on the first set - I could've gotten one more. I'm just happy i did that weight again. 
Now I have dinner in the oven (lovely baked salmon) and a phone to troubleshoot for one very tired, very emotional 10 year old. Wish me luck.
