2019OCT30 (REST)

Rest:

- Today's day of rest wasn't planned.  I should have packed some workout attire for my house hunting trip to Columbia, Missouri; but, I didn't, because I wasn't expecting to get diverted from Columbia to Peoria, Illinois to pick up our van which had been damaged several weeks ago due to a collision with a deer.  As fate would have it, during our return trip to Kentucky, the collision center notified us that our van was ready for pickup -- giving us approximately 3 1/2 hours to drive from St. Louis to Peoria.  Needless to say, it was a very close call with only 15 minutes to spare before the collision center closed.  To make matters more unnerving we still had to fuel and drop off our rental car.  Thankfully, an Enterprise-Rent-A-Car center was located a couple blocks away from the collision center, along with a Circle K gas station -- what luck!  We made the drop off of the rental car with 4 minutes until they closed.  It was absolute chaos.  Afterwards, we found ourselves with another 6 hour drive back home to Kentucky, in the rain no less.  14 hours from the time we got in our rental with the intent on driving home to Kentucky, we found ourselves finally home.  A drive that normally takes 5 1/2 to 6 hours was more than doubled and we finally arrived home safely at 2:30 a.m. on Halloween.  It was a crazy drive filled with delays, wrecks, road construction, and foul weather, so by the time I arrived there wasn't any motivation nor energy to get my front squats done.  Additionally, the 24 hour period had passed along with my streak of squatting consecutively everyday for the past 137 days.
