Great day today...

Had a wonderful meditation this morning and work was pretty good, it's still work but it wasn't terrible. The only thing I wish had happened differently is one of the drivers spilled the beans on my leaving, nice guy but as subtle as nuclear blast...

I realized that work can no longer bother me any more than I choose to let it. It is work, something I do that pays me (weakly) for my time. In about 42 days it will cease to be "my" problem completely. Why make it more than that?

Went to class tonight and had a wonderful insight into the difference between helping someone and creating a possibility in their lives. It took a while, but I realized that it was the same as "Give a man a fish and you feed him for the day, teach him to fish and you feed him (and then some) for a lifetime."

I was definitely tired last night, I was in bed no later than 19:15 and slept till 08:00 this morning. Now THAT is tired...

Great day today!!!

I had a friend in a situation that spent the night and he gave me a ride to my volunteer session that I will be doing every week through the end of April. It was so cool to be of use to someone and know that people tonight are going to have what they need already prepared.

I went to the gym and had a VERY long and great workout. I think I may have over done it, all I want to do is sleep, so I think I will. Screw if it is only 18:30. I might get up early and get some work done... Right! ;-)

Not sure what happened to the rain we were supposed to get today, but I had an umbrella just in case... Good night!

Long and busy day at work... The NAACP Image Awards have been driving all of us crazy.

Went to the gym before work and getting ready to go out and celebrate something of which I have not yet been told about, should I be frightened?

Tired, but ready to keep it going... Hope I don't get to wet when it starts raining later.

Well it was a nice day till I decided to accept a call from work and guess who's doing graveyard tonight... Oh yeah!

Got paid yesterday and I paid today. LOL Even living cheaply takes money in Los Angeles.

Tried to sleep this afternoon so I could do this shift but only had limited success. I'm going to try to go to the gym after work before crashing. The big question: will I be returning to regular sleep hours or working graveyard again tonight for the same coworker who called in sick? HMMMM

Wow, I was exhausted last night.

I got home from work and was supposed to do a tele-conference at 19:30 and after getting ready, had about 15 minutes to kill. Turned on the TV to watch a little B5 and I don't think I made it through the opening credits before I passed out and didn't wake till almost 01:00.

One of my co-workers is out sick with bronchitis(?) so I came in this morning for the day shift. I thought I would take a quick moment to get the journal up to date since I slept through last nights entry.

Yesterday was a OK, but fast workout at the gym. That book I'm reading, "Body for Life", has made me wonder if I might be overdoing some of my workouts. I have been going every other day and doing my weight training each time. I finally got to the section where it goes into the workout details and I noticed that he is suggesting a 4 day rotation on the weights. His layout is weights on say Mon, Wed and Fri with Cardio on Tue, Thr and Sat. So on week one, Mon and Fri would be Upper Body with Wed being Lower Body and Abs and the inverse on the following week.

Looks like I'm working tomorrow as well.

My latest tweet says it all...

LONG day at work, great workout at the gym, wonderful dinner and all I want is to go to sleep or get laid... LOL

Go guess what happened, I'm going to bed.

A beautiful day today but it seems everyone is in a cranky or irritable mood today.

I feeling pretty good, just tired, probably from working late last night, getting to bed as fast as I could feed the kitties then up at 07:00 so I could go to the gym before work. The "bar" in the gym was closed so no protein fix after my workout. Well, I'll be going home soon and can go to bed early.

K wants to get together tomorrow evening and go over some things and we have that meeting in WeHo on Tuesday. Well at least he's driving in the rain Tuesday... he he he

I want to get some writing done tomorrow before work and I'm thinking since I have the time and some Feta, I might make myself an omelette for breakfast, mmm tasty!

I will be so glad when the award show season is over, Los Angeles becomes such a bunch of morons when it comes to thinking things through and the egos EXPLODE!

Went to the gym after work and had an amazing workout. I ran into my friend Steve who once promised to give me some tips and help me add some free-weights to my workout. Today ended up being the day and he showed me some great stuff and I apparently did pretty well as he seemed to be reasonably impressed. cool!

Afterwards, I went to grab something for dinner and immediately after taking the first byte, it turned into a great white having a feeding frenzy, ack! Good thing I made it a high-protein meal...

While I was on the elliptical, I kept hearing the voice of my crack dealer, not the illegal one, but my brittle mistress. I hope all is well.

I've got a couple of errands to do then I'm going to bed, I might feed the cats first... It will keep me from bleeding... ;-)

Got home from work yesterday and was unconscious before I knew what hit me. I fell asleep before the 2^nd story made it on TMZ, that's tired.

It has been a beautiful day today, the temps have been in the 70's and there has been a light breeze blowing and you would never know that it was January, not even in LA. The only problem with it is that a mild Santa Ana condition is carrying dust or pollen and my sinuses have been running a marathon all day, well at least I know they are working.

I'm a huge fan of neti-pots and mine has been working double shifts in an attempt to cut the sneezing down, doing better but if I don't dry out soon you might want to invest in Kleenex stock.

I am looking forward to going to the gym in the morning, I may be a bit sore ofter, but over all I feel better for having gone and I am loving the improvements in the body. Not only have I lost 40 lbs but I am reshaping the body and for the first time in my life, I'm actually REALLY liking what I see when I look in a mirror.

Sue gave me a Rune reading after work and she didn't really tell me anything that I didn't already know. I had one flip on it's own while I was shuffling and she said it meant that I had been kind of stagnant, not regressing, but not moving forward either. Then she actually started a New Years reading...

When I pulled the actual 5 for my reading, basically she said (1) I am needing to prepare my weapons for my journey. (2) There are some programming, cultural and such that I need to become aware of and determine which to keep or to drop. (3) I have some old family (biological or not) issues that I need to deal with and get beyond, I am conflicted regarding this relationship. (4) I also need to either deal with some side projects/distractions, shit or get off the pot. (5) The continuation of my path will require some patience as the fruiting will take about a year. Not bad, we'll see what comes in the new year.

Well, it's New Years Eve and I would rather go home and do laundry than go out to a club and get plastered, just how old am I?!?

I went to the gym this morning and had a good workout and since I got up half-an-hour earlier I put in an additional 30 minutes on the cardio ski machine from hell. I really need to see about talking to someone about what ration of cardio to strength training would be best for me.

My usual workout is usually 45 minutes to an hour of weights and now I’m adding 30 minutes of cardio to it. If I have the time and the pool is warm, I’ll swim a few laps then soak in the whirlpool for about 10 minutes and the same in the dry sauna. Shower myself clean and then head for work on most days.

Except for the holidays, I’ve been really consistent at going 3 times a week as well as riding my bike everywhere. I seem to be stuck at about 185, but we’ve had this problem before.

I’m tired today, I’m going to finish up the newsletter either later tonight of before work tomorrow…

Started reading “The Emerging DreamHealer: A Guide to Healing and Self-Empowerment” by Adam and it’s seeming interesting, I will have to continue for more.

I’m also reading “Obsidian Butterfly (An Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter, Book 9)” by Laurel K. Hamilton and “God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything” by Christopher Hitchens (Bill Maher should check this out, it’s right up the alley with his movie “Religulous” I may not agree with them, but I understand where they are coming from and I can see why they might feel that way).
