Recovery

I was slowed down today because of the previous night then couple that with temperatures climbing back to normal around @ a high of 99 degrees, took me a while to get myself together.
Did go to a coed baby shower and that was a curious event. Shoot I have to get some things done still tonight, I’m out!

Busy Friday

I had a busy day at work and then some more rearranging after work.
Finally I’m getting my computer/audio room setup so that my computer functions and audio/DJ type functions are basically in the same room. I wanted ample space to do both and finally I’m on the way to achieve that.
I will also once again integrate my computers with my external mixers, turntables, etc. Then I can continue recording my LP’s to computer thus digitizing them. I can also pipe music from my computer to all my external sources. This will be so nice but this time I’m going to have a better patch panel setup so I can easily go back and forth between sources.
While I’m doing this I’m continuing my trend of downsizing to obtain a minimally cluttered living space.

Long Thursday

Had a nice long day today that is just starting to wind down.
Did the running thing at lunch and finished of course but it was a tough mental run the whole 6 miles from start to finish. Had the normal things to deal with and then this new sensation from my new shorts riding up strange in the groin area…kinda tickled. Once I out ran that strange sensation I tripped over this root sticking up from a tree not quite at the half way point. I caught myself on my hands in some gravel but since I run with my lifting gloves on my hands I did not get scratched up. Plus my legs or knees never hit the ground. I ended up in a position like I was doing the crab walk like you do for football practice and slid a while. This isn’t our normal hot August at 100 plus degrees but was 86 degrees and getting a little warmer without much shade and the heat was radiating off the pavement but I used every mental trick I had to finish. I never should have let myself get this far out of shape I told myself as I ran.
The chef fixed me some more “Gourmet Chicken Wings”.
I have to buy some gifts for events this weekend and then I’m set ….I think.

Mid-Week Run

Today did my 8 mile run I neglected on the weekend because of allergies and other things I had to accomplish over the weekend. Felt real good and shaved almost 2 minutes off the previous run at that distance. Another 5 – 6 minutes off that time and then I can start feeling real good and really star pressing the issue!

Tying up ends Tuesday

Westside all day baby, what did I do? After a night with some sleep ahhhh, well the amp is slumping out beats again. Still need a better equalizer but its still on hit.
Been trying to get my stuff together to make chili since Friday and finally had the time but still everything was all over the place. I really need to go through the main cupboard in the kitchen after I do the rest of the house things were all over the place!
Made too much for one crock pot so combined in a large stock pot to keep ingredients together, perfect the taste and then transferred the contents to two separate crock pots for a slow simmer to really sink the flavor in! I think the chili will be on hit just have to see what others say about it.

Lethragic Monday

Once again my alarm went off in the late night, which is late Monday morning and I did not get a good sleep to go along with not getting any sleep over the weekend.
I picked up a replacement fridge that’s larger with ice & water to replace my current fridge with just ice in the door.
I troubleshot my large 1000 watt amp that drives my big DJ speakers that can break out the glass in my windows if I’m not careful. Looks promising will pick up the parts tomorrow and pretty sure that I will have it humping the beats full blast once again. I need to break down and get two more UPS for my equipment.
Damned even when I’m lethargic I’m handling some biz baby!!

Just a feel of the night of club hopping

We did nothing spectacular just a little relaxation after a night on the town. We tried to bribe way into first club…. they were packed and bouncers wanted too much to grease their palms for what was being offered.
Went next door had some “Adios Amigos” (Long Island Ice Tea with Blue S@#$) and crashed a private party. Then hit a couple other clubs and got the grind on. I tried to behave myself….sorry I failed. Now I’m going to want to go out like I used to….all the time! The ladies were soooo nice!

Man What a Non-Run

I went running today during lunch because of the cool temperatures and man had to cut my route short. My head started swimming a bit because of allergies. I usually just muscle through that stuff especially when I have a cool pace going. Today the pace was my fastest of the year so far but couldn’t do the 6 mile run so only ran like 2 miles. I have multiple bail out points on my routes in case of injury, emergency etc.
This hasn’t happened in about 2 years me starting a run and then not finishing the course I decided upon before starting. In my whole life I can remember the times it’s happened maybe slightly more than 5 but less than 10 and considering how frequently and how many miles I have run in my life that’s pretty good. Hell I ran a whole season of track with a stress fracture, probably should have stopped back then, lol oh well I’ve learned.
I’m still on track but I have to figure how to combat these allergies I haven’t had a comfortable run the last couple of months because of allergies and I guess I didn’t feel like fighting allergies and everything else that goes into a run today. This is when I really feel like moving out of the Sacramento valley with all of its allergens.
Allergy medicine affects the heart rate somewhat so I’m careful with it. I have been taking bee pollen but I’m going to have to find some local honey to start eating, that’s worked before. She’s gotta be cute and clean though! Just kidding I need honey from bees.
Tomorrow I’ll tear into the course just because of what happened today!!
