Monday morning and I'm back to normal

No post on yesterday. Why? Because I was some hungover. I went to that work party and had waaaayyyy too much to drink. But - I don't think that I made an ass out of myself - like others did. Yesterday I woke and felt bad pretty much all day. I couldn't sleep - stomach, head hurt pretty bad. I think that I was up and about around 1pm.

Note to self. Drink two - three drinks at next party and call it quits.

I missed the MGMarathon water stop detail. I keep missing it.

Porsche should be coming in this week and I will be committed to working for awhile. Oops!

Dinner tonight & MGMarathon tomorrow

Yesterday after my morning wworkout and a half day at work - went to the dress shop with wifie. She had fun shopping. This marks three days that I went with her to look at dresses. This hopefully will rank me Waayyyy up there. Dres shopping is well pretty boring for me.

Today a big dinner - but a work dinner. I am trying to work on my social skills. I also have to run down to a premier suit store and pick up my new suits that I purchased.

So this morning's duties: Work out, bank, pick up suit, back home to iron clothes and assess evrything is in order. Maybe I will find time for a nap or something. Then to our fancy dinner party.

Porsche news: Salesman said that boat finally docked. It should not be long now. My anxiety about the aero kit is growing. I hope I did not make a HUGH MISTAKE. Anyway car is not really for daily driving, but I would like to be able to drive it in and out of my driveway.

Can't check my weight

Friday - payday - yoohoo.

Yesterday was OK. I got through my workout. The gym where I am a member is redoing the locker room. Yep - the locker room is closed. This means that I don't have access to the scale - so no weigh in. But maybe i will be surprised when I weigh myself next time.

I went to a meeting yesterday and got the feeling that a storm is brewing. I think I will be plenty busy for many months to come. I will make plenty money - but I will end up being frazzled.

Wifie got some not so bad and some good news from her doctor yesterday. I am still hoping that things are gonna be great.....

I skipped my computer forensics class yesterday because there was some kind of presentation from a firm. I ain't driving all the way out to UNO for some bullshit.

Short week this week

More anxiety - The Porsche is still at sea. I am having anxiety. The anxiety will hopefully fade after I recieve the P-Car. The unknown - the unfamiliarity - life!

See - I haven't had debt in nearly a decade and I am jumping off the financial free world into the chains of debt.

Wifie has been feeling better.

Happy Mardi-Gras

Mard-Gras. I am not sure what I am doing today with wifie. We are probably heading down there and check out the happenings. All weather related of course. Gym is closed, so I plan on running outside this morning.

Suits and Mardi-Gras

Yesterday morning started out nice. I was relaxed got up and meditated while computing.

Went downstairs and did the nasty with my hottie wife then dozed off like all of us males do. Always a nice way to start my day. Showered and dashed off to the gym. I usually spin first and they had a class. I don't normally do classes anymore. Anyway the class proved to be difficult. Spin classes are hard whatever kind of shape you are in. I have rarely had an easy spin class. I then got on a treadmill and did 3 miles and finished up with 30 minutes on the arc trainer. I hope to do the same workout today.

So I get home to an empty house. I call my dad and talk with him for awile. Wifie gets ready andd we head down to buy my new suit for my son's wedding. We are going down to the premier suit store in New Orleans. The experiance is plesent but expensive. I am finally getting it BTW. As I am starting to shop at the expensive stores I am starting to really understand how they are able to stay in business. I get it!

So I walk out spending around $1500.00 and we head to a party given by a supplier of engineering services. This place is located on Canal and Bourbon. It is nice with a lot of room, catered with drinks, and a balcony overlooking the parade route. We socialized, ate, drank, for only an hour. Wifie has an open invitation for the next three days of Mardi-Gras. Maybe we will go back, maybe not.

We ended up leaving and heading back to the mall where we looked at some dresses for wifie and ended up unsuccessful. We headed home with our dinner of Pizza where I fell asleep watching some TV.

Saturday morning

It is the quiet of the morning. My favorite time of the day. Stillness, dark and quiet. The silence is broken only by the lightly playing of internet radio - commercial free radio.

I have 4 work-free days ahead of me. It is mardi-gras season here in the New Orleans area. I have a few tasks on my agenda - other than that I have a clear schedule.

The past week was a bust workout wise. I only made it on Monday and Friday. There were the excuses: Rain, cold, work, - yes the same old bullshit. Admit it - you just didn't want to work out. I am still struggling with my new found weight - 167 lbs.

But I will work out on all four days starting today.

Porsche should be here maybe this week or the next. Time is getting short.

Blowing off the gym this morning

It is raining pretty hard. There is a tornado warning. I think I am going to hang out here. Yesterday I did my two hour workout. It is kind of boring.

Things going on: Not much. Taxes and working. Financial planning, stock market, Porsche, family, grandkids.

I glanced at what was happening in my blog last year and I found that I did not make a single entry in Feb. I was too busy making money.

Week 5 of computer forensics

Week 5 of school.

Wifie was in better spirits yesterday. We had a pretty good time overall for the weekend.

Sunday morning - back to quiet

It's Sunday. Friday really just flew by nonstop till around well - just now.

Friday - I did my morning workout - then to work for 4 hours - then to financial planner - then to pick up two grandkids - (wifie went out of town) - then feed kids - bath - to sleep - lots of laundry - accidents - diapers - laughing - then wakeup Saturday moning - much of the same.

Man I am getting old. I do not want that much work and responsibility anymore.

Weight was down to 165. I am thinking if I can get back on the straight and narrow this week I will be back. I just need to hang in on my 2 hours per day. Yesterday didn't work out at all with the grandkids.

Wifie - what can I say about wifie? I love you and we will get through this. I am concerned also. We will make it. This illness is a test and we will make it.

Finally back to 165 AND Life is FRAGILE

After many days of creeping up past 165, I am back down to 165. Now if I can get down to 160....

Anyway, when I am finished with my day of work, I am tired and want to go home. But on Tuesdays and Thursdays I have a computer forensics class scheduled. Last night I did not want to go, but I went anyway. I am always glad that I went afterwards. I am not sure if I will use any of this stuff, but hopefully I can see how big brother can watch me.

I only feel sorry for the poor and unsuspecting.

Which reminds me, I think I need to get my own space for this blog. I don't trust these kinds of sites anymore.

Anyway, I get home and wifie is telling me about her medical problems. I am hoping she can somehow get this thing sorted out with the help of doctors. Life is fragile.

Thinking of doing Mulletman

Thinking of doing Mulletman. 500 people max. It will fill up quickly. Might be fun. What the hey??? Why not??

Cat, job, wifie, wtf?????

Thursday

Made it through 3 days straight. I haven't got in a single 2 hour straight workout, but am getting close. I made it through 1:30 - 1:45 min workouts. I just start losing focus and want to rush to work. I will be better next week. Got to quit worrying about work and start worrying about working out. Plus the weather has changed recently. Winter is almost over.

One less day till Porsche day. Salesman said that I should be driving by Mardi-Gras.

Grandkids are coming this weekend. That should kill my working out.......

Weight is 167. My jeans were extremly tight yesterday. Hopefully won't be much longer.

Thinking of redoing my blog

First of all this blog has nothing to do with triathlons anymore. I am not sure I am a triathlete anymore. Only 3 months has gone by since I did IM Hawaii and I do not consider myself an athelete.

I missed a running race yesterday. Me and my wife were pre-registered for the Elmwood classic. Well my wife has been having health issues. My uncle called and offered to bring her to see Father Seelos. Well, I have to give up the run, which I am not complaining about. But it brings up my point about atheletes. They have to give a lot up to do what they do. I see it on a small amaturish level. I keep re-learning that though. When I was into training, people just don't understand the commitment. Hats off to those special atheletes. I understand.

But i am planning on doing a 2 hour workout today. I missed my 2 hour workout that I was planning yesterday. I figure if I can get back to my 2 hour workouts daily, I can get this weight thing under control.

Wifie, I hope you are feeling good today.

What happened yesterday worth writing about?

Not much is happening in my life yesterday worth writing about. I am feeling guilty that I did not work out much. I am going to attempt 2 hours of cardio today. I am thinking that I can run for 30, arc for 30, run for 30 and maybe another 30 on arc.

Back to yesterday. Skipped the gym. At work early. Went to field. Did some work at office, came home and took a nap. Ate pretty good meal with the wifie and went to bed.

Today I must do some tax work for son. I must complete my business taxes today. I have a Feb 15th deadline to give to my accountant.

I went to a retirement luncheon on Thursday. Good luck to you retirees out there.

Friday morning and the week flew by

I went to the gym yesterday and got in a workout. I am skipping this morning. Maybe I will run today after work. I seem to be tired the following morning after school. I felt if I was going to sleep last night during class. We covered the less interesting stuff for the past (6) classes. We should be moving towards more interesting stuff.

Feb 1st already

Feb 1. I m getting heavy and feeling fat. I have been eating out. I have not had a workout since Sunday when I ran the wall.

Porsche is built. I did my loan application. The car will be here in about a month. The weather will be turning nice around then. Man it takes a long time to get a Porsche.

Gotta get back to the gym. Wifie is feeling better but is very concerned.
