Wow it just keeps coming

My last entry was a bit weird and a jumbled mess, that issue has, by the grace of God, been ironed out and looks bright in for the future.  Thank you all for the prayers and positive thoughts.

Today though I get more bad news.  My brother had a wreck early this morning coming home he ran his truck off a bridge into a creek bed, totaling his truck.  He doesnt wear a seat belt, and there was pretty good chance he had been drinking, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt that he says he fell asleep at the wheel.  He works long hours on a farm in the evening & nights and does aeronautics school during the day.  (nobody fly on a plane after september of this year)  school is an hour away from where we live so he has a long early drive.  His wreck happend on his way home this morning to change out of work clothes in to school uniform.  He had a goose on his head and a 4" gash on his arm that needed stitches.  He can not miss another class of this, so my mom takes him on his insist that he is fine just needed to go for a little bit and she could take him to urgent care around 10am.  She gets back to his school and there is an ambulance coming down the road and he has passed out in the middle of class.  Right now we are waiting on results of a CT of his head, they are also xraying his Layrnx, chest, knee, & ankle.

 

Please again say prayers or good words to our family.

Went and lifted Thursday and afterwards went to run sprints at the HS practice field.  After about six behind my knee was swollen and I couldnt take the constant popping whenever I took a step.  The popping intensified the harder I ran, so I called it quits for the night.  Tonight I have a new class so I wont be working out.  Friday's game is gettin closer and I'm afraid I"m not going to be ready for it.  If I dont get injured I can live with the aches and pains for a day or two.

 

Took the weekend off to fish and remodel the kitchen.  Tearing out 30 year old plaster counts as a good work out for my back, given the soreness I'm feeling right now.  I have a grip about Lowe's Home Improvement store after going there and trying to find this paneling like stuff(it has an actual name but I cant remember it.)  well on the display it is listed as 36" x 48" x 3/8"  being 36wide 48 tall and 3/8 thick.  There is another exactly like it and it's 96" x 48" x 3/8" except its 96" tall and 48" wide.  Why would you replace the W and the H?  Shouldnt it read 48" x 96" x 3/8"  I argued w/ my wife about this until someone finally showed up(15 minutes after we pushed the little help button)to tell where we could actually find the stuff  which is nowhere near the display rack btw.  It would have been fine but there were about 5 people in the entire store counting my wife son & I.  On top of that when we finally paid 3 guys clearly younger and in better shape than I watched me load a piece of sheet rock by myself. 

 

360 is coming back from repairs today.  I've been without it for almost 3 weeks, I think,  i've lost track of time since it finally pooped out on me.  I need to relief some stress in the form of a chainsaw bayonet.

Thursday 5/17

This is more for me to keep track of my progress & to hold myself accountable as well. I was informed Sat. that the annual alumni football game is 2 weeks away. Gee thanks for the effin notice, so I plan on starting a really hard workout program for the next 2 weeks (well as intense as I can handle)

Mon-School night so nothing I ate next to no points though. yea I'm going by my wife's weight watcher points

Tue-Leg & shoulder/back lifts, Rode bike ate very well calorie wise

Wed-Softball so no lifting. Worked my neck when I got home. Ate less than projected points. we won 24-0 & 17-3 against my company's team

Tonight- Lift legs heavy. Meet buddy at field to do sprints and throw the ball. Will do neck as well. I hurt my neck bad last year & I dont want that to happen again.

 

 

I'm not concerned as much with my arm strength or speed more of being able to stay in the game the whole time. I know 2 weeks isnt enough time to get a good stamina built up but it will be better than nothing. hey I might just develop some good eating and exercising habits too. I'd love to drop some pant sizes and fit into all my summer clothes from last year and maybe get a step or two back on the ball field.

AWESOME!

Got a call from my softball coach and we start on APR 4th!  Still too far away.  Best news we've been sponsered for spring, summer, & fall leagues plus state Qualifer tourney &  if we make it State(I know we will tho).  Only reason we didnt go to state last year was cuz we didn't want to foot the bill for it.  I cant wait, I probably need a new glove I've only had this one for 12 years & my cleats are beginnig to fall apart too.

 I'm a softball nut I played in 3 leagues at the same time playing 2 games on 3 different nights last year, I was so exhausted from that I only did it for 2 mos.   Well its bout time for me to head home Later.
