back of my left leg hurts quite a bit today. Earlier today it was up in upper leg. Now it’s mostly moved towards back of calf. Not sure if it’s too much sugar and caffeine, not stretching the last couple of days much or what, but it’s not fun times. Probably take it easy on the working out a bit to heal up so we can start it all over again.

Bought a new kite last night at Dollar General. This one is the surfer dude… Last one we bought there was the shark. Merlin and the Dragon are still in the Tree at the park. I keep buying Katrina new kites to make up for that loss…

Tuesday there was major flooding and storms in the area, so swim lessons got cancelled… I didn’t work out that evening.

Wednesday night more storms hit in the area, and there was actually a Tornado that touched down and tore up Jefferson City and another one that killed 3 in Eldon area… Luckily our area only got a bunch of rain and lightning that kept me up half of the night.

I worked on decorating my apartment in Entropia Universe due to insomnia, but because of that and the storms I am on coffee and donuts this morning and no plans of working out since I just feel bleh…

Some days I just don’t feel like working out.  Today is one of those.

Slept half of the night without my bi-pap machine on my face. The velcro keeps falling off.  Other half of the night my daughters feet were in my stomach… We co-sleep.  That’s something we should probably work on trying to get away from, but I’m not even sure how we can do that. She does have her own room and bed, but doesn’t like to go there.  When she had a crib and a little while after that she did sleep in her own room a lot, but then I had that job at the Casino where I had to work overnight, and Tekla started letting her come in and sleep at that time when I wasn’t in the bed… never got back out of that since then.

Feeling a bit groggy, tired, and gerd is acting up.  We had pizza last night, and I probably ate way too many pieces.

At least today is a short work day since I’m taking vacation for the afternoon so that I can attend Katrina’s graduation from pre-school ceremony this afternoon.

Darn Shooter situation kept us from enjoying last night outside too much.  We were setting up the H20 Go slide (a bigger, better slip and slide) in the back yard per Katrina’s request when a neighbor came over and said, “did you hear the news,” before proceeding to whisper in my year about the police warning to stay inside and lock doors… so we left the slip and slide outside and headed in for the rest of the night…  I hate having to lie to Katrina but had to tell her that we were out of sunscreen so we had to stay inside to be protected from the sun.  She knew something was up and is a smart little girl so I think she knew that there was more to the story but didn’t persist to ask too many questions.

I ate a the last of the shelled peanuts I was working on the last few days last night… major amount of salt in there.  Also had some mushroom soup last night, along with some other stuff.. so this morning I’m feeling very much dehydrated, so I’m not working out this morning since I don’t want to push myself beyond my limits.  My face and eyes feel extremely dry this morning to the point of hurting.  The rest of my body feels pretty dried out too.. I probably should work through it with a workout and sweat, but don’t really want to end up regretting it later today by passing out on commute or something crazy like that.

I didn’t work out last night or yesterday due to arm soreness from the day before that.  Tonight is another swim lesson.  We’ll see if I do the whole arm thing in the pool again or not.

Katrina is starting to become a great cheerleader for me, demanding that I workout so that she can go to the pool or play in the kid’s room at the YMCA when I workout on days we don’t go to the pool. Love it. 🙂

old habits are hard to stop.  I continue to go to get junk food and soda or xtreme caffeine type drinks at gas stations… this is an old habit I need to lose.

Soon I’ll start a self challenge to go 21 days without buying junk food at the gas stations.  It will be hard, and I’ll likely be cranky due to ‘carb flu’ but it’ll be worth it…
