my ruler mistake!

I’ve been measuring with this ruler that has a 4/10 of an inch gap between the end of the ruler and where it starts measuring…

so when I measured in 6.2 BPL a few weeks ago I was really 6.6 and now I’m 6.8!

can you think of a better suprise?

And I thought the twenty-dollar bill I found in my ski jacket was a pleasant surprise.

You know what blows my mind about this stuff is that when it happens to me nothing really has changed except I realize a small visual error but my whole day becomes bright but before realizing the error I was sad.

I won’t “shave” my ruler.

This way it seems that i’m smaller and I push just that little bit harder.

It’s always inspiring to find out that you are farther along than you think.

This is often the case for me. However, part of it is psychological. Today, after a good stretch and a hang, I thought that my unit looked small. I was quite gloomy about it. I measured a flaccid stretch and, guess what, it was a quarter inch longer than ever. I attributed this visual anomoly to a slight increase in flaccid girth which made it look shorter.

The point of this diatribe is that your measurements will almost certainly fluctuate a little. So, if you measure again and it is a little shorter, don’t freak out. It’s likely that the next time you measure it will be a little longer.

I’m glad you say that, because yesterday when i measured I was actually a little shorter than usual, and it got me down.
