Post-Bday Postingzzzz

Welcome back everyone! Well, I'm one day into being 36 years old. And I'm sick as dog fuck. I never used to get sick, but ever since I got kids, they bring every single germ and virus through my door and I catch it every damn time. Cause dealing with the kids in my world cannot be avoided. So I got a nice sniffle yesterday which I kept medicating myself to scare away and thought I did. But today, woke up and felt like dog shit taking a shit on cow shit and then eating it, puking it up and making a vomit omlette. (And now I've made you vomit. Congrats to me!)

My birthday wasn't too spectacular. It was cold and windy as hell. -14 Degrees. I ventured out to get some groceries and two new office chairs. LONG overdue to get some of those. I put em together without a problem. I took a nice nap to combat the symptoms and and then the wife followed up with one of her own. I had a nice steak dinner with healthier side options. Then we both drank the night away. The wife is great company while drinking and we sat and thought about old times. Also talked about us losing weight finally. She really salvaged a rather mediocre birthday for me. Super wife to the rescue. She's the best.

I got to talk to my dad on the phone the day before. He sounded out of it and talked very slow. It will take time for him to snap back to a semblance of normal, whatever that is for him now. We're hoping so anyway. Its all up to him and all we can do is hope. I wish the weather wasn't so bad so I can head down there and help. Why this all had to happen in January, I don't know.

My productivity is at a slow crawl, but I did manage to work on a commission yesterday. I'll probably work on it and other stuff more this weekend. I spent most of today in bed and I don't want to waste another day laying around feeling sick. I like to force myself to work and feel better. The good thing is, after recent weigh in, I am down 11 pounds so thats a great start. I have hit the gym a couple times and maybe tomorrow I will feel better and can go back.

Anyway, just wanted to post a quick update. Things are rolling. I wanna thank everyone again for the messages, emails, calls and more regarding my bday and recent events. I appreciate it. Makes me stay sane knowing that people out there do care. I'll hold it together for you. Things are on the mend and that is great. I wish I could impart some great wisdom to you all as I enter my 36th year on this planet. All I can think is that I am 4 years away from 40 and thats when I am checking right into a cemetary! (unless I drop 100 pounds, then I'll stick around a bit longer to celebrate it a bit.) :)

Cheers, T
