Cold...

I don't get sick very often, but I have seem to catch something that is not making me feel good. So I'll keep this short. Nothing eventful has been going on. My daughter did the midnight thing for that movie about the vampires & werewolves. What?? Doesn't he know the name of the movie?? Yeah, I do... But I figured if I typed the name, then I would have a obligation to hyperlink the name. And I don't want to...
But I haven't heard anything from her yet. I'm sure I'll hear about it when I pick her up from her friends this afternoon. Then the wife & I will be talked into taking her to go see it again.
So I started feeling like shit yesterday & the positive is... that it feels like I'm getting better. Already coughing up nasty shit & that's usually a sign that this is about to pass. Unlike the wife, who is still bothered by this shit a week later. My body just seems to kick shit out quicker I guess. OK... I ain't making no sense, the meds must be kicking in. Til next time...

I Did It!! For Today...

Alarm went off... I closed my eyes for 5 mins debating with myself, even though I knew I was going to get up. I played the "song game" ( I like to have music on when I sleep ), if a song I liked came on I would lay in bed & listen to it, if it's a song I didn't really like I'd get up & turn it off. I don't remember what song it was that came on, but I know I forced myself to get up at that point. Once I was in the garage/weight room, then I was ok. Back to normal, felt like I had been doing this all along. It was a good morning!!

Weekend... Friday night... We didn't do much of anything. Ran some errands after work. Then we got a phone call late in the evening. Our son was missing his mom, so she got up, got in the car & picked them up from her parents house. We have a standing agreement with both my wifes & my parents on custody of the kids on the weekend. My in-laws have them Friday night & my parents have them Saturday night. I could go into how this came about, but I'll save that for a future post ( not enough time... ). We usually don't have to head down there in the middle of the night to pick them up, but for some reason my wife felt the need to on Friday.
Saturday I had baseball... Don't want to talk about it. Then we went to a friends to watch some MMA. Fun...
Sunday it was much of nothing again. That was my boring weekend in a nutshell. Which is perfect, because I'm out of time... Til next time...

A Disappointing NO!!

No... Nope... Didn't do it. Instead it was the same ol' song & dance. Got home, fell asleep... woke up around 11 p.m. & then couldn't wake up when the alarm went off. WTF?? I will do it this afternoon... I have to. I feel like shit.
I did get to hit some baseballs after work & it looks like I'm going to repeat that activity later on today. The good thing about this day looking like shit, is that no one will be at the batting cages later. I really need to work on my hitting. I was so into being defensively sound, that I let my hitting slip. UGH!!
Well, I've got to make a phone call so I'm going to end this post. Til next time...

I'm Out Of Touch...

Yes, it is the title of a Hall & Oates song, but that is not why it's the title of this post. I have been feeling that way for the past few weeks. I figured it would take me a few days to get back into the groove once my parents got back from Hawaii. But it just feels like I haven't been able to get back on that horse. I need a good kick in the ass I think. Maybe I should just look in the mirror since I haven't gotten back into that groove of working out. There is a list of things... baseball, hockey, exercising... About the only thing I've gotten to do a lot lately has been taking pictures. Would it be cliche of me to say that I'm going to do it for sure tomorrow?? Can I actually do it tomorrow?? I feel like I've been letting myself down, but am I really doing anything to correct that?? NO!! Why not?? I don't even know... I was so driven, then I just found myself hitting a wall. I tried not to let it happen, but it did. I didn't want my parents being gone to be a excuse, even though it would put my schedule out of whack, & wouldn't leave me much time in the day to sleep. Well eventually that took its toll & now I'm paying for it. I'm back to sleeping in the afternoons & not being able to sleep at night, then waking up for work w/out any workout in the morning... it's killing me. So my goal is that tomorrow, or when I post next... it will be about how I'm working on getting back on the horse. Not that I did it, because that would only be one day. But that I'm attempting really hard to do this & I will... Well I better get back to work... Til next time...

Ahhh I Forgot...

So quick update... Last Wednesday I was talking about the new Xbox 360 & how I wanted one really bad, but didn't need one. So all day Thursday I was trying to order one. This was after I went to Best Buy & tried to find out if I could pre-order one in store & when it comes in, pick it up. Couple stores I went to told me they didn't know when it was going to come in & that if I went online I could pre-order one & I'd get one by this week... ( June 21 - 25th ) So I figured, what the hell?? I don't really need it now, so what is waiting a few days.
So Friday comes & I needed to waste time ( mentioned in the post I just posted a few minutes ago ), & though I was thinking I shouldn't, I did. I pulled into Best Buy & what was stacked up as soon as you walk in?? NEW FUCKING XBOX 360S!! I was sooo pissed!! Especially since I asked them 2 days ago!! So there I stood, with my pre-ordered Xbox 360 in limbo & a stack of them in front of me. Needless to say, I'm still waiting for my Xbox. UGH!! Thought I would share... Til next time...

Phew... What A Weekend!!

Started out on Friday when I had to pick up my daughter & her best friend from a orchestra thing in Edmonds. UGH!! Get off of work, then had to waste a few minutes before trying to figure out where she was & her cellphone reception was horrible, so that made it challenging. Then stuck in traffic for a hour & a half. In the meantime, the wife had to pick up our son from daycare, then take him to his baseball game ( last of the season ), then to the party where he got a cool trophy. So it was a hectic afternoon.
Then came Saturday. We did some shopping at the outlet mall. The girls had to go find a dress for a friend for graduation. I had to find something to wear to a gentlemens club. Yes, you read that right. Then it was off to get my daugthers friend home, my son picked up from the in-laws, a birthday present picked up & me home. The wife & kids then went to the birthday party & I headed down to meet up with 6 friends, to hit the gentlemens club. We were there to see Jesse Jane. I wont get into what happened in the club, because it involves friends. But it was entertaining. No one got in trouble. Jesse didn't hit the stage until around 10:45 - 11ish p.m. We'd already been there for a couple of hours. So once she performed & I got a pic with her, we left. But it was a fun time. Kind of a guys night out thing.
Sunday... Fathers Day!! Happy belated Fathers Day to all!! But it was a busy day. Sleep... Since I didn't get home til late. Then it was off to work, since I had Monday off, I went in on Sunday to prep things so Monday would be a little easier for the pops. After that, the pops & I went to the grocery store & got some stuff for a nice dinner. I wasn't feeling that good, but enjoyed a great dinner & then we headed home. I was supposed to play a 6 p.m. baseball game, then a 9:30 p.m. hockey game. But I just didn't feel well so I didn't play.
Monday - my daughters 8th grade graduation. I had to wake up early, which I hated because it was my "day off". But we had to get her to school by 9 a.m. Didn't work that well. We picked up my mom & had to drop something off with my dad, so we finally pulled into the school at about 9:15 a.m. Graduation started at 10 a.m. & lasted til about 12:20 p.m. Then it was off to a party for the kids at a park where they were able to enjoy each others presence for another few hours before they split for the summer. Plus the class will be split between two high schools, so it was a sad day. My daughters best friend ( guy ) will be going to the other high school, my daughters other best friend ( girl ) is a year younger so wont be joining her til the following year. So it was a sad day for her. But for a "day off", it was draining. To end the day I had a hockey game last night ( It was a back to back & it showed!! They won in Kent on Sunday, but we lost last night in Everett... ) So I'm drained!! Well I better head home... Til next time...

Through The Ringer...

My body hurts. Between these workouts & hockey, baseball somewhat... My body feels run down. I can't imagine what MMA guys feel like after a bout, but I would assume I'm close to that, without the bruises. I can't wait for a few more weeks, so I can take a week off of working out & let my body get a decent rest. UGH!!

I've got to go & get my health card today. It feels like its only been a year since I've had to sit in that class & take that test, but apparently it's been 3. So this afternoon, I need to head into Everett before 6 p.m. & take this 90 min. class & test. I've done it so much times before that I don't even pay attention, take the test, first to finish, 100% & I'm out the door in 40 mins. I should watch what I say because it'll be today that none of those things happen. Nah, it's pretty easy. I still can't believe that people actually fail that shit. Sorry if you are one of them... maybe I'll help you study.

Other than that... I've really got nothing to go on about. Maybe I'll end here & actually get back to work on time... Till next time...
