good afternoon friends. had a nice drive in the sunshine and a good nap, with really strange dreams. love, war, and soccer. most of it was pretty cool except the soccer, it was like one of those weak punching dreams, i was struggling to play well, but my team was good and we were winning. had a real fun day on the market, it's like my trades had the magic touch, some of them could have turned out really badly too, did anyone see what happened to wolf? but it's like i had a protection spell on me or something, got out nicely without any losses, made like $100 and it seemed effortless. not going to let it go to my head, i think today was special, and really trying to turn away from it, but i am making good money, +3400 since april, still better than any job i had. flat futures again, they aren't tipping their hand much. today was definitely a day for value over growth though, small cap over large, individual stocks over indices, and i really enjoyed the final result.
gonna make some tea, see where the afternoon takes me. plan to go to the gym tonight, and if nobody is there to spot me, i'm gonna load up the smith machine and try to outbench john. don't worry about the weight, the smith will save me if i fail. otherwise though i might give 180 a try, 175 went fine, spotter didn't even touch the bar and i reracked safely. back is feeling better but not 100%, so i'm gonna be squatting again, but those are coming along nicely and that's my worst lift so i do need the reps.
