Just do what you have done for weeks and years. Stop worrying about anything. Life is what it is.

Indeed Mike, I should be positive, but your right, I am not right now. I am not handling the issue with my eyes very well. Mrs Squatter is also very concerned, as is my whole family. I am trying to adapt the attitude "why ruin today over what may happen tomorrow"
I also think that some much needed rest will have me feeling better for the meet.
Your advice is golden as well. Thanks for that!!

Thanks Ravi. At the time, I thought it was plenty deep, and then I watch the vid and notice I leaned and barely made depth. At this point, I would be really happy to repeat my 405 that I got at my first meet in Vegas.
Bench and deads went quite well last night tho.
