Namaste,
Wednesday, was a good day! Work was pretty good... Even though our patient count is good, our IV load is down. At lunch I went by the new gym and checked out the progress. Our new octagon is assembled, and since it had rained cats and dogs, a few of our guys were there working. After work I went straight to the gym. I had the class so the rest of the guys could continue on the new space. We had 11 students last night.... We stretched, ran 4 corners, worked hands, then did a very impressive circuit. I think everyone got their money's worth. Came home showered, ate a bar-b-qued tortilla pizza, then zzzzzzzzzz! Tonight I am meeting Mr. Mike Champlin for a little while. I her there is a preseason football game on? Have a great day!

Namaste,
Today started early... We had some huge thunderstorms roll through at 4:30 and it rocked the whole house. Soooo I got up and showered, then started working on my guest list for the send off. Today was the first day of school for Jordan and Trey and since it was raining cats and dogs. I dropped them off at school. I dropped Jordan firs. She has to catch the bus to Vo-Tech at 7:20. Then I dropped Trey. It was pouring when he got out of the car and I watched him run into the school for his first day of Junior High. Work was kinda slow today.... After work I came home and changed clothes. Went straight to the gym, and cleaned. I went for a good two mile run, then worked a little circuit. When class started we worked offense, and defense in the rear naked choke. We worked a line where half of the guys started on bottom and the top guy rotates through. Everyone wrestled everyone then we went full MMA in the cage. We tried to get everyone on everyone. I had several great rolls. I went for one 15 minute roll with Adam Pratt. He ended up with a black eye, puffy cheek, and sore ribs, I ended up with a big ole fat lip. It was AWESOME. Yesterday morning I weighed a little heavy. After tonight's work out I am back to my normal weight. I lost 10 1/2 pounds in the last 48 hours. I feel good. Anyway time for night, night! Love you all!

Namaste,
Monday came and went quickly. Work was good. We are moderately busy. AT lunch I was going to work on a project, senior pictures for a young man at Sana Fe High School... Well I got all set up and realized his pictures were on my external hard drive... No bueno! Soooo I took a 30 minute nap. Came home after work. Trey and Sherrie had just been to his school to get his locker, and meet his teachers. The school was so torn up that he will not get his locker until next Friday, and can only take pens and paper for the next week. I headed to the gym. I put on my thermal suit and went for a run. I went prolly about 3 and a half miles. Kinda got a little overheated. Went back to the gym and we did a short circuit, then a small ab workout, and we called it good. The guy's wanted to roll a little, so we jumped in the cage, and went buck wild for a few rounds. Came home showered, and started working on guest list for the send off. Then crashed out. We have been having some crazy weather.... Thunderstorms everyday. Right now it is raining as hard as I have seen since I was riding my motorcycle through Wyoming! Have a great day! Love you all!

Namaste,
Thursday, was quite busy. Right after work Sherrie, my Mom, and I went to my mom's church and loaded up 8 tables and 64 chairs for my poker tournament. I left the church and went to the gym. We had a good workout, even though my arm was still quite tender. I did what I could. I had a great idea, to make all of the students at the gym unload the tables and chairs for the tournament. It worked out great. I came home and ate a bite, then crashed. Friday was quite busy as well, As soon as I got off work I came home and grilled Sherrie and I turkey burgers, then headed directly to some smokey bar on May to celebrate my Friend Chad Lovett's Birthday. We only stayed until 10:30, then home to crash out. Saturday was a whirlwind. I started by painting the locker room at the gym at 6:00am. I only had 4 hours to give... It was a filthy nasty roach infested hole of UUUUGGGGHHHHH! Anyway... (frustration) Came home and mowed my lawn, took a shower, headed over to mom's for a minute, then down to the old gym to get things set-up for the poker tournament. We came home and took a 45 minute nap before we had to be at my friend Greg's house for his 40th surprise birthday party. That was pretty fun, but we could only stay about an hour. We headed down to the gym and waited for our peep's to show up. Our turnout sucked! We were suppose to have 100 players. We had 16! It means one of two things. People suck, or I suck? Anyway. For the 16 that showed up... We had a blast. At 11:45 we were down to two players, and they decided to split the pot. We loaded everything up and Blake and Ashley Shores followed us to mom's church to put everything away. Then Sherrie and I came home to put the trailer away, and go to bed. I had to take a shower, then I was wide awake. I ended up separating poker chips, and went to sleep at 3:30. I got up and headed back to the gym at 8:00 for more painting, and I have been on the run ever since. We have been, to Wal-Mart #1, Bass Pro, Took a guy who ran out of gas back to his car, Wal-Mart #2, McDonald's for a parfait, Sam's, Super Target, my friend Kayla Gibson's house, then home so Sherrie could make dinner.... Lot's of veggies, and a pork tenderloin. Sherrie and I went for a walk then home. I just went back through my equipment bag, and repacked everything. I wish I could leave right now! It can't be here soon enough!

Namaste,
Wednesday, Wednesday, Wednesday....Work wasn't bad today. We stayed pretty busy so, the day went really fast. I did sneak into the therapy gym a couple of times to do an ultrasound treatment on my bicep. The rest of the day, I kept ice on it. After work I jetted home and put heat on my arm, and watched the news. Sherrie and I went to the gym at 6:30.... We had an awesome circuit. I did what I could... My arm is actually feeling pretty good. I can't really lift anything, but I'm sure as the swelling goes down, it will feel better. Tomorrow should be a good day. Sherrie is off for the next few days, and she is going to do some special things with Trey the next few days. I'm going to bed.... Love you all!

Namaste,
Good morning! Yesterday, I had soooo much to do that I took a day off from work, but feel like I worked harder than, I would have at work. It started with a drive to Norman at 7:00am. We had a major thunderstorm, and traffic was bad. Trey went with me so I stopped at Starbucks to get him a frozen "Hot" chocolate. On the way home we had to stop at the post office and send some Smith Mountaineering Glasses back to REI. I love them but they are too small for my big head. We came home and I had to take Jordan back to Santa Fe to finish her enrollment, and get her books, and locker. We came home and Jordan had to get ready for work, I took her o work, and headed over to mom's to get Trey's bathing suit..... We then headed over to Legacy Bank to open a new account for the gym, they do ACH debits from our members accounts, and maybe people will pay their dues. After that Trey and I hit Louie's and shared a pizza, then over to Vital Signs. My buddy Justin owns Vital Signs, and he is going to make me a banner for my summit attempt. Trey and I then went to Pelican Bay to swim. We had only been there for a few minutes when he cut his leg open on a sharp piece of the ladder. It would not quit bleeding so they gave us a rain check. I took him to pink swirl to get an ice cream, then home. My brake light keeps coming on, even though I just replaced my brakes, so I pulled off my front wheels and moved some stuff around the light went off.... At 5:00 I headed to the gym because It was a filthy mess. I didn't get finished cleaning until 7:00. We had a huge class, 25 guy's in all, and we had to split into three groups. I went with Hayes, and Griffen, and we worked on single leg picks, and side control. After class I need to roll, so I started calling people out. I had three taps, then I called Travis out. He came out punching, and I threw him in a hip toss, when we hit the mat my right arm was under both of us, and something popped, tore, or pulled. OUCH! I went ahead and kept rolling, but the pain was worse than when I dislocated my shoulder. Come home took a scalding hot shower and some Lortab, went straight to bed. Every time I turned in the middle of the night my freakin arm hurt, so rest was tuff to come by. Anyway.... Time to get ready for work!
Love you all!

Namaste,
Monday was quite busy at work. Our patient count is up a little, and our IV count is pretty heavy. After work we had to be at Santa Fe High School to pick up Trey's schedule. Summit Middle School is under construction, and so they had to move enrollment to Santa Fe. We came home after that and I mowed the lawn. We had thunderstorms moving into the area, and even though I just mowed three days ago.... With all the rain we have had, the grass was tall. It didn't take thirty minutes to get that taken care of. Then it was time to head to the gym. We got there right at seven, and it was a big class. We had to split up into two groups, and half of us worked on hands, while half of us worked grappling. We came home, showered, ate some leftovers, and CRASHED! Today is going to be very busy. My head feels like it's going to explode! Love you all!
