Working out.

Lifting weights then swimming an hour later was tight. To say it beat me up a little is the nice way to put it. But I was not done. I had to pick up the ab-machine. I got that monster home and put in the house and was just about to put it together when my lady friend called. Can you drive me to work? My truck batter either died or is down. Yeah, sure, I will be right over and I was. Though late, she usually is anyway. I have also promised to pick her up and see what we can do about her truck in the morning. I need to be up at 6:00 in order to shower and get the sludge out and then drive there. I will also keep the phone by my bed in case I do not wake up and she needs to call.

Back home, I decide to put the machine together. What a real monster it is. It is made for commercial gyms, but it will do. I know it can handle 300 pounds and vigorous use. I worked with the display and watched another big boy (but in the good way) run the machine through the numbers. I had told QoD that I would have the thing together, I think she was curious. I told her about it on the drive to work. I do not mind if she ends up using it, she is getting fat. :p That is what she thinks, silly woman. I would have used the machine right tonight, but after two official workouts and then the workout of putting it together (yes, it busted my mackerels, it was another hour workout in itself) I was simply too tired. I probably will not even use it tomorrow. I think I really need to take tomorrow off, not even a walk.

Lots of ‘administrative’ work needs doing, a few personal and social calls need to be made, the house needs to be spifified, and there is the lady friend thing. I have a load or two of laundry and clothes to get to the dry cleaners as well.

I must say, I am feeling better. I still have doubts and fears about this week but I think the prayers are helping. It is so strange, but during my afternoon swim, life just lifted a bit. What I had thought was going to be a dog day at the pool ended up being at least an average day and perhaps much better considering I was exhausted when I got there and almost cramped my first few laps. I was able to use the kickboard much better after that lifting. Yes, I do believe in prayers. I suppose that, other than to bless my meals, tell God goodnight, and ask that I be given or shown the way, have the strength and wisdom, and be grateful to do his will, the only other thing I ask for personally is a wife, and family as time goes by. All other prayer requests are for others, for the Church, for my nation, and that all nations may find a way to wisdom in governance.

I am all tuckered out. I should go on to bed, and will. Oh, I found that my alarm clock, the one I depended on to wake me up, was off. For some reason it was set for the wrong time, am/pm wise. I have reset that, and I will see if that helps. I cannot understand how that happened, unless I was trying to reset it for some reason while half asleep and hit every other button incorrectly. It could happen. Good night.
