re: Two workouts in five weeks- got stronger

What? I can't tell a little age joke? C'mon...I aimed it at me too.

But, in all seriousness, depending on the circumstances, adults who are employed, responsible, (especially for the well-being of others), and have obligations that are out of their hands have to train/exercise/work-out whenever they can, however they can. This happens all of the time and you do what you have to do.

I'm sure some people never quite get into a rhythm and they just train when they can train, it's not ideal, but sometimes it's the best you can do, and you can still progress too. If an older, more inexperienced person is putting the work in and trying to move the needle from "shite to Suck" as Joe Defranco says (he's referring to moving from a state of being a raw beginner at something to being just slightly better than a raw beginner) that person only needs to do the basics, and they only need to do the basics at the bare minimum amount to see results.
