I am scared

Scared of the unknown

 

Day 25

Today is Monday and it was an uneventful day. I got up and got ready. Went downstairs to the kitchen and prepared my IDS protein shake. I did have to run to the gas station because we did not have any milk. I swallowed my IDS Mass Tabs and additional supplement pills. I left and as usual caught the bus. I could not listen to my Zune because it had no power. I read up on some news, which I should mention so I can time stamp, some history around the world. Today a helicopter and plane crashed killing everyone and it sunk into the Hudson River in New York. There was also a mudslide, which looks like it buried over 400 people somewhere in the world. When I got to work, I did so knowing the Ricky would not be in because his daughter was not feeling well. I spent most of my days reading Cisco related material and at one point spoke with a person who is attempting to sell connectivity to Oats Reporting, used by some of our traders. For lunch, I had left over Mexican rice and chicken with some smashed beans. I drank my IDS creatine lemonade juice. At about 3:00 I took a walk around the block just to spread out my legs and ended up purchasing a protein shake at the protein bar with 39 grams of protein. I took the shake back and had a few Oreo cookies with it. At 3:30, I picked up the office dumbbells and finished off some sets. After leaving the train station, we drove down to Lowes so I could find the right bit for the hammer drill I borrowed from Franky. I looked around but I could not find the bit that I needed so I called my father. He told me that if I had to purchased the bit that this would be required because he had a drill with the bit that we needed. I then walked over to the hardware isle and looked at the screws that I would need for the concrete. I did not really see much there but I think that the ones I need are 1.90 and I will need lots of these so will see how much it will cost. I need to remember to take pictures throughout the day so I can include them in these journals. After I was done with the store, I went to the chiropractor’s office. I did my routine and I had a new person give me a back massage. She was interesting and at the same time very pregnant. However, her touch was sensitive and soothing. She also massages my arms, which was different and lubed her hands with sensual oils more than once. The only complaint I had was that she was not rough enough for me and I did not want to ask her to go harder because she was seven months pregnant and her breathing was a little heavy. After I was done with the back routines, the chiropractor said he wanted to see me two more times and I scheduled another appointment on Tuesday at 5:30. When I got home, I changed to my gym clothes and drank an IDS BetaNOX pre-workout citrus drink. I drove down to the gym and after throwing my stuff in a locker and began my workout session. My routine was as normal and I worked up a nice sweat. I am feeling more aggressive with my routines and my breathing patterns are controlled. I do feel that my joints are in pain and I do not know if that has anything to do with the IDS Mass Tabs that, I have been taking. I will have to do some reading on this online. It could also be the yard work I am currently working on which has my hands all busted up. At some point, I looked at the clock and saw that it was after 8:30 so I wrapped it up and drove home. When I arrived at home, I took a shower, prayed for Andrew and watched a movie called Skeleton Crew with Jazmin and Yolanda. Jazmin has been lovingly pestering me to watch this movie so I watched it up to a point. I got tired so I turned it off and went to sleep.

Day 24

I got up this morning in good spirits. It is Sunday morning and I want to go to church and get me some spiritual education. Everyone got up and everyone was energized and just as excited as I was. Yolanda asked if I wanted to go downstairs and have a cup of coffee and I told her that I would join her but I would have my shake. I prepared my IDS protein shake and swallowed my IDS Mass Tabs and additional supplement pills. After my family was ready we got into our car and began our drive. When we got to church we arrived a little early and so we waited a few seconds and took our seats. The worship music was good and the message was enlightening. After we were done we were all a little hungry so we drove down to Al’s Beef. The other day I was watching Man Vs Food and the host was in Chicago and he interviewed the owner of Al’s Beef and did a behind the scenes how the beef is prepared. It caused me to become curious so I go on the internet and found that there was a franchise in Oaklawn on 95th street. I drove down there and ordered a 6 inch Italian beef, with sweet peppers, mozzarella cheese, and had it dipped. I also ordered cheddar fries and a small coke. We ate our food and it was good but I did feel that for the amount of money that I was paying for the sandwich that it should have been larger especially since I did order it with extra meat. I don’t really know if I will be going back. I also thought that Al’s beef becoming a franchise has diluted the true meaning of it original intention and the décor is in tune with every other wannabe trendy establishment. After we were done we came home and I was going to work in the backyard but decided against it. I had a nice long conversation with my son Andrew and we were able to go over sensitive issues that we are both working on in our relationship. I think it was promising and I am hoping and praying that it has resolved some conflicts. Instead of working I decided to go for a run since I had not ran the neighborhood track in over a week. After drinking my IDS BetaNox drink for added energy I flew out of the house running. It was scorching hot above 90 degrees and I knew this but it wasn’t going to stop me. I started my run and at first it I started ok and felt like I was in the zone. A few minutes into it I started to sweat and my body began to cool itself off. The air was dead and I felt like I was sucking in heat. About 3/4th of the way into my run I was feely really hot and my head started to hurt and I felt the heat waves penetrating my head and wearing a black hat didn’t help the situation. I walked the rest of the way and when I got home I was drenched in sweat. I took a shower and got relaxed. I noticed my brothers tried to reach me and I called Julio back and told him to come over so I could update him on the dog that he was taking to his home. He also was coming over with the rest of my other brothers to play some softball. When he came over we had a little meeting and I explained Bugsy’s habits and way of life. We decided to give them our dog because my brother has three little kids, Julian, Jacob and Emily that they are in love with him. They have never owned a dog but Bugsy is so playful and Emily is attached. We already have Rocko so it only made sense to give it to a family member. After everyone showed up including my father we went to the baseball park and had a very nice family softball game. Once we were done we came back home and sat around the table having left over Mexican food and playing Uno cards. Pablo had to leave to drop off his sister in law but on his way back he picked up some pastries and Yolanda made some coffee. At about 9:00 everyone who was still at my house gathered their belonging and called it a night. This was a good day.
