Day 20

Today I woke up on time got ready went to the kitchen and prepared a delicious IDS protein shake with my IDS Mass Tabs and additional supplement pills. I am writing today at 8:00 and I didn’t work out tonight like I said I was going to. I will explain that in a minute. I went to work today and started my day with a medium cup of coffee from ROM. When I came back to work I had it with two thin slices of pound cake. Work was OK and nothing new to report. I called my father and asked him a few questions about the backyard project and also to find out if he had a hitch for his truck. I told him I rented a hydraulic auger for the hole digging. This will make the job much easier. For brunch I had a homemade sandwich and an IDS creatine lemonade drink. At about 12:45 I took a walk over to Sears and purchased some construction line, a line level and some carpenter’s pencils with a sharpener. On the way back I was a little hungry so I decided to stop into McDonalds which is very rare for me to do. I came back to work and finished my day as normal. I ordered a double cheeseburger, small fries and a large coke. The rest of the day went uneventful.

On the way home I was thinking about the gym and my body was sore from the night before so I was more inclined to jog and ride my bike today. I received a text from Yolanda who asked me if I wanted to walk and ride the bike instead. She also was thinking the same thing. I had Yolanda bring my deck folder that contains my drawing and when I got picked up we went directly to Lowes. I was able to speak with Alonzo who helped me put design the backyard deck on his computer with my size specification. Unfortunately, my design is customized and the computer program does not allow alterations. What this means is that the final output with 3D drawings will show what it thinks should be the structural design of the deck. This doesn’t work for me since I have been approved the building permit based on my submitted design. The cost of this package at Lowes is 2,000 which is 300 dollars more than Menards but it also is based on better wood material and my choices of wood design is also better.

After I came home Yolanda had already started cooking. She was making rice, beans, and broiled steak in meat sauce. I went to my room changed to some shorts and a t-shirt than I lay down and napped for about 20 minutes. I got called to come down to eat and was still determined to workout at home but after I finished my meal I became sluggish and my body was exhausted so I instead went upstairs and rested on my bed. I turned on my laptop and watched a few stupid internet videos and got up a few times to go over to Jazmin’s room. Yolanda purchased some primer and paint at Lowes and is currently painting Jazmin’s bedroom set and will then paint her room. They color theme is a blue and brown color. I finished the night watching the vote off from America’s Got Talent.

I wonder as I write this how many people are actually reading my journals.
