Day 19

Today I got up a little late. It was 6:30 when I finally rolled out of bed. I was tired from the night before since I was up until after 12:00 finishing up my required deck diagram for the City of Burbank. After I got ready I went downstairs and prepared an IDS protein shake and I swallowed my IDS Mass Tab pill with the additional supplement pills that I am taking. While in the kitchen I made me a peanut butter and jelly sandwich on wheat bread. I rolled it up in a paper towel and stuffed it into my work bag. This morning wasn’t a good day for my daughter. At one point I was in my bedroom getting ready and she came in crying and point towards her bedroom. I was a little confused and asked her what was wrong but she kept pointing. I thought the worse and ask if the dog was dead since she tends to have our shitzu “Bugsy” sleep with her. She said that wasn’t it and then said to look at the ironing board. I walk up to it and saw that her brand new pair of glasses she just got the day before was completely destroyed. Apparently at some point of the night she let Bugsy sleep with her on the bed and he got a hold of them and chewed them ripping off the legs and scratching the lens beyond repair. I was upset since this would be her second pair because the dog had gotten a hold of her original pair of glasses. I had just paid 150.00 for these. Bugsy had also destroyed her mini ipod a few weeks before. I told her she should go to the eye doctors “Americas Best” and see what they could do about this unfortunate mishap. Later during the day she did go and they were very understanding and ordered a new pair of glasses free of charge. Moving forward I drove into work with Yolanda and got to work at about 8:00. I started my day productively and continued to work on my pending projects. One of these projects dealt with allowing a third party developer to access a few IP addresses via TCP ports. They originally were having issues connecting but it really turned out to be confusion on their side. For lunch I met with Yolanda and I invited Wilson to come with us. We went to our daily favorite restaurant and I ordered a chicken pita with cheese, fries and a coke. We talked about the deck project and family issues I also handed Yolanda the new updated drawings so she could submit them to the City of Burbank. When I got back to work towards the end of the day I had a IDS creatine lemonade drink and did a few reps on my office dumbbells. I am currently on the train riding back home typing out this log and will continue it later tonight when I get back from my chiropractor appointment and the gym. I have to go to the gym since I didn’t make in last night. On my way home I got a call from Yolanda that the City of Burbank approved my drawing and gave me a permit to build my deck. YEA!!!!. I am so happy. The only thing they said I forgot was the rodent mesh I need to install under the deck. I called my father who also that it was great and we will be getting together on Thursday to line up the markings for the 8 holes I need to dig. I will be renting a hydrolic Auger for this job. I got home and spoke to my brother Julio. I told him that we were OK with giving Bugsy to his family if he wanted him. Oh yea, while he was over on Sunday there was talk about the being interested in taking Bugsy and adopting him into their family. Being that his kids are attached to the dog I think it would be a great match. After speaking with him I went to the chiropractor and took my drawing plans for my deck. He looked over the plans and recommended how to lay the decking planks and also suggesting renting a hydraulic auger because it will dig the holes faster and protect my back. After I got my treatment I went back home and got ready to go to the gym. I prepared a IDS BetaNOX drink and took a water bottle. When I got to the gym I was a little disappointed because since I don’t go to the gym on Tuesday I realized that on Tuesday it is very packed with people and I literally had to pay attention to machines to become available. During my exercise I was very quick with my sets so I didn’t rest in between and this was intentional. I wanted to sweat and have my heart rate up for most of my routine. My workout was about hour and a half. When I was done I walked over to Yolanda who was on the treadmill and told her I was ready to go. We got in the car and drove over to the mall to pick up Jazmin, Greis and Leanna who were at the movies watching transformer. When we picked them up Greis had left over food and I was able to eat a Taco Bell Burrito with a cup of milk. After eating I went upstairs and started watching Americas Got Talent and finished typing this journal.
