Sometimes these look so easy and you tell yourself “it’s only ten minutes”. Sometimes shortly after thinking that you find yourself on the floor in a puddle of your own sweat. This was one of those times.

Technically 105# is a PR, but I’m still disappointed. I thought there might be a snoflake’s chance in hell I would get 125#, but I had to try. That was a sure fail, no big deal. 115# however, I HAD that was, I could FEEL it.

Maybe it’s because this is day five of my 5on-2off schedule. Maybe it was because I was box-squatting a 14″ box and could have added two inches to make the lift. As valid as those reasons are, I can’t see them as anything but excuses. I HAD it – where did it go?

The gift that keeps on giving! Enough of my previous loans have been paid off to reloan $25 to a new entrepreneur. This time it goes to Hakik Boboeva from Tajikistan. At the time I’m writing this she just has $50 left to raise!

From her profile:
Hakik has had a small business processing and drying apricots. Thanks to the quality of her products and the experience she gained in this sphere of business, she has earned a solid reputation among her customers. Accordingly, the demand for her goods has grown, allowing her to contribute significantly to the household.

Now, Hakik requests 900 USD to spend on purchasing apricots which she will dry and resell. She hopes that she will continue sending her children to school so that they will be able to get an adequate education. She expresses her gratitude to everyone supporting her.

She got my money because I LOVE dried apricots. Should I be less self-centered and more random in my giving?
