january 10th, 2017: it's a show of force

the mornings when i skip the pre-bed pills are always so much smoother. i have some extra time, so i watched an episode of bobs burgers. i feel like someone else did the robot thing. south park maybe? 

i couldnt find my work key so i killed time in the old building. talking about the england days...and how they werent great. eventually its back to the work world. lots of things going on. all small. that makes them easier to process or whatever. that massive downtime between meetings was rough though. a good 50 minutes of just sitting in a hall. hearing people joke about prepatory commands. its not great.

a light gym workout. trying to feel something, but not too much. its a fine line. i could just not go to the gym, but i wanted to finally break out and break in those kyrie 2's. theyre nice. exchanging tips and such with that moreno dude. 

smackdown and cooking dinner. the subject of practice came up a day or two ago, but nobody wanted to say anything until like 30 minutes before actually doing it. makes it easy to pass up.

it just clicked in my mind that im probably up for breaking out. and what do you know...looks like i am. and a list is only weeks away. but is also a slot that seems to be 'indefinite' so thats...something.

january 9th, 2017: ashley tristan evans jr

usually on a gym morning, ill stop by even if im not joining in. not today. totally forgot. i was caught up in some descendents album nonsense thanks to amazon. but they fixed it pretty quickly. 

getting people on their way out has been a little rougher than in the past. but in the end it works out. as it always does. now that we have that out of the way, we can relax a bit. a trip to the store and the dining facility. its pretty nice. apparently someone hit a parked car and did quite a bit of damage. we had to make two rounds to see what happened. 

it looked like the day was going to be able to wind down in typical fashion, but i held off on that. theres an inspection thing to get ready for. and in the midst of that the world decided to fall apart just enough. something about letters needing to be written. training things needing to be updated. and bugg being confused and alone out in the big world. next thing you know its 5pm.

running. it sucks. no lifting on account of being extra tired. 

mom finally wants to get those winter premiums. dealing with that was a bit involving, but in the end i got a decent little discount so thats cool. 

jericho finally won the us title on raw. so now hes a grand slam champ or whatever they call it now. it wouldve been nice if it had been a 'real' win to add to the meaning of the whole ordeal. but it wasnt. and he probably wont ever have a 'real' win to defend it. but at least it happened.

up even earlier than usual. something like 5:15. maybe 5:30. for whatever reason, there are some things on my mind and getting back to sleep just isnt an option. i had some strange dream that involved ashley and somebody else. maybe thats what it was. either way, im up now. taking on more cleaning.

tackling the 'music' room and finishing off the kitchen as well. accompanied by a disc of looney tunes. things are coming together pretty well. 

its barely 11 and im pretty beat. i went for a solid few hours with the only break being 23 minutes to watch an episode of the lion guard. taking a much deserved nap.

finishing off old man logan while i do laundry. burger king. the gym. the store. 

civil war. winding down for bed. its been a pretty full day and im thinking monday is going to have some extra things happening. it shouldnt. but i just feel like it will.

january 7th, 2017: the flying dorms

i went to sleep early and woke up early. i had an odd dream about meeting vader. unfortunately, nobody took a picture so i spent a bunch of time trying to do it all over. catching up on brooklyn nine nine and new girl.

it seems a little cool. apparently it is. theres frost outside and it makes me think twice about running off to the gym. but there are only so many days before the test and its in my best interest. defrosting the car takes longer than it should. i was at the gym less time than i let it warm up. i pulled off a fairly respectable run time of 11:54. and that may include an extra lap.

subway for breakfast. looking into test study software. its a little expensive and my chances arent even good. ill have to look into how that whole thing works later on... off to walmart for groceries and to return that battery. 12 dollars richer. 12 dollars and 90 cents to be exact.

cleaning. a lot. i had started earlier, but without gloves i refused to get too far into it. tackling the bathroom, the box room, and the bedroom tv stand. all that's left now is a lone ps3. and a bunch of dust. in the process i ran across some unexpected things. x-men mutant academy? the flying dorm? a movie ticket for the first pirates of the caribbean?

seems that the weather is pretty rough in other places too. its all relative of course. maryland has over a foot of snow with more coming. vb got a good spread. theres something going on out west too. looking into promotion stuff for work. its confusing. id ruled it out years ago and looks like thats whats happening.

cooking dinner and looking into the sam franklin story. i remember hearing something about it, but didnt know the full thing. it sounds pretty bad. bad enough that his wife got 190 years in prison. shes old though so that doesnt carry the same weight it would if this happened years ago. or maybe she just looks old. its probably both.

deadpool. thats a solid movie. i feel like id watch it if i bought it. but i dont want to have more things.

january 6th, 2017: do i need this folder?

starting the day with a pretty decent chest workout. 

briefly by work and then off to physical therapy. ive been having some odd shoulder issues and im well past needing it to get some attention. the guy has a pretty good idea of the problem and im starting to see why i was suggested to see him and not the old lady. he broke out some needles and a electro whatever thing. it all sounds sensible. itll be some days before i know how it worked.

work stuff is still largely in disarray. for all the wrong reason unfortunately. fortunately, its not on our end. 

i saw an email recently saying that my latest marvel collectors corp box had shipped. well, that was a lie. it was the funko 'gift' box. when i saw that and saw the potentials boxes i was pretty sure id get the star wars one. and i did.

work stuff took quite a toll this week. up to the last minute of the day. after a bit of sitting around and decompressing bugg comes by as we're leaving. in some ways it was the perfect end to the day.

podcasts. youtube subscription videos. bobs burgers. there are days where i really look forward to getting to bed and this is one of them. its early and all, but whatever. the body wants what the body wants.
