Namaste,
Thursday.... My buddy Ricardo came by the office this morning... I had his "Pimp" hat and poker chips. Ricardo and Jenni are leaving for Spain on Saturday, and I wanted to get his stuff back to him before they leave. I did take the kids to school this morning and made my stop at Starbucks. Work was fine. My friend Miriam came by the hospital, and we ended up going to lunch. We went to????? That's right Louie's! We had a good talk. The afternoon dragged along very slowly. So slow I mopped the floor in the pharmacy. I headed to the gym right after work. I ran for 20 minutes, rode the bike for 10 minutes, worked bags, jumped rope, and sweated my boy's off! We had some family obligations to take care of so I came home showered, and we took care of that stuff. Anyway... Working on wills, and other family stuff... Going to bed early!
Good Night!

Namaste,
Wednesday started out pretty good! I took the kid's to school then a stop by Starbucks for a cup of bold. Today was Sumatran.... When I got to work, I kicked it old school style. Got a lot done early, and thank God.... Our State Board of Pharmacy Inspector came by for our yearly inspection. He is a pretty good guy. It helps that he is a huge OU fan. We passed with flying colors. At lunch one of our Doctors brought us food. I did have to run to ERMC and pick up a few items. The afternoon went pretty slow. I went straight to the gym and started cleaning. Then put it on! I ran, rode the bike, ran stairs, crunches, and lifted. Once other people showed up we started setting up for class. Sherrie called me and let me know.... A good friend of mine, Kelly Parr lost her three year battle with liver cancer. Kelly and I worked together for several years. She was a beautiful woman, mother, and wife. I knew she was struggling but I did not know she was this sick. I am broken inside. I know she was a woman of faith, and she is in a better place, but do her children understand? Sometimes life sucks! I wish I could have a drink right now!!!!!
Good Night!

Namaste,
Tuesday was pretty slow at work. Our patient count is still up, but the acuity is down. I met Ben Crocker for lunch. We went to Which-Which, while we were sitting there, DJ White from the OKC Thunder came in. While he was waiting on his sangwhich, I introduced myself and thanked him for the basketball he autographed for me. That's a funny story in-itself. My buddy Mike Giroux installs electronics for Ultimate. One day he called me and told me he was going to install a TV for some Thunder Player. Turned out it was DJ. He told DJ my story, and he gladly signed the ball for me. Went to the gym straight from work. It was hotter than H-E- double toothpicks! I went upstairs to the weight room, and ran for 15 minutes on the treadmill, then did three minutes of crunches, then 6 minutes on the recumbent bike. Tyler Griffen came in. I ask if he would hold pads for me... We did 5 rounds, of Thai Pads. Pretty intense. When the guy's from class started showing up, I started getting my stuff together. I wanted to be home around seven. I have so much going on right now, I just can't afford to be at the gym until 8:30 or 9:00 every night right now. Anyway, Brad Suggs came in and wanted to roll. We rolled for a couple of rounds until they were ready to start class. I came home showered, made a turkey pizza, and did some research on the Himalayans. Time to get ready for work! Love you all!

Namaste,
Monday was a good day. I slept in today... didn't get up until 5:30! Got my shower, and watched the news. Took the kids to school, and then headed to work. No stop at Starbucks this morning. I had a Dr's appointment at 10 this morning, and I knew I had to weigh. I got to the Dr office at 9:50, and didn't leave until noon! I got nine prescriptions, and they took 10 vials of blood. My blood pressure was 110/55 and my heart rate was 50. My body mass index was less than 1/2 of my last visit. After I left the Dr office, I stopped at Starbucks, and got my cup of bold! Went back to work and had a few IV's to make. After work I went straight to the gym. There was still a lot of work to do to get ready for the first night at the new gym. We had a good turn out, it was a little discombobulated, but we made it through. I had a pretty good workout. Got a good sweat. Came home and had a lean cuisine. Time for bed!
Love you all!

Saturday & Sunday, August 22nd & 23rd, 2009
Namaste,
Well Saturday was a good day! Started by speaking at Foundation Bariatric Hospital at 9:00am. It was great. It was a small group, prolly only 30 people, which makes it like a Q & A session. After that, I came home changed clothes, and Sherrie and I met Travis Chyzy, at the Chase building. It was freaking awesome. Travis ran all the way up, while I tried to maintain a steady pace, because I was wearing my pack loaded with 55 pounds. Sherrie went to the 17th floor. I made it to the top in 9:15, and round trip in 15:12. That's a minute and a half faster than last time, and last time I did not have my pack. Sherrie and I went to meet with Stephen at Applebee's then out to Micheal's looking for a basket, for the Epilepsy Foundation. We went to the mall to return a shirt that Sherrie had bought. Then back to Wal-Mart to get stuff for the basket. I came home and got my lawn equipment, then headed to mom's. I knocked her lawn out in under an hour. That's edging, weed eating, and mowing. I came home and started edging ours, and Sherrie jumped in and did the mowing. It was awesome. We got it done. This morning, Trey and I worked in the parking lot at Peoples Church. We stayed for the service, and I'm glad it was awesome. We came home, I changed into work clothes and headed o the new gym. It was a nasty, freaking, crap hole. I spent six hours, cleaning! It is still a nasty crap hole. I came home and showered.... Grilled some veggies, chicken, and Sherrie made a big salad. I am not suppose to eat salad, but I did anyway. After dinner, we made our basket and Boomer took me for a walk. We were just going to go around the block, bu he had another agenda. He pulled out of his collar, and ran about mile. I finely got him back on his leash, and we came home. I am really, really tired and ready for bed! I am excited about getting to the gym tomorrow and training. I have a Doctors appointment in the morning. Just have to get shots and stuff for my trip.
Love you all!

Namaste,
Good evening!
Friday, was a typical Friday. Took Trey and Jordan, to school this morning. Headed to Starbucks for my cup of bold coffee, then on to work. Hit the IV room early and hard, and knocked it out. I met my brother in the middle of the day to pick up my invitations for the send off party. They are pretty cool! Right after work I headed to the new gym and started cleaning. It is a filthy, nasty, dirty, place. It is however, coming together. We don't have a choice, we have to be ready to go by Monday evening! Mike Giroux, Chad Ashlow, Ben and Kinsey Crocker, Travis Chyzy and myself got a lot of stuff done. There is still a ton to do! I am exhausted.... I am speaking at Foundation in the morning, so I am going to bed! Have a great weekend!
Love you all!

Good Morning! Work was relativity busy... I met Sherrie and a friend of hers at Louie's for lunch. It was good, we shared a turkey wrap and some green beans. After work I ran by the new gym. Mike, Chad, Rick, and Ben were there building the new boxing ring. I only had an hour and a half to give. I swept up about 30 pounds of saw dust, moved pallets out to the dumpsters, helped with the ring, then had to head home. I had to talk for a few minutes, then met Mike Champlin at Buffalo Wild Wings for a wing, and to watch a few minutes of the Colts, Eagle's pre-season game. After the first couple of series it was like watching a junior high game. Anyway... Came home and went to bed. I am trying to increase my cortisol levels, and the only way to do that is with sleep. I have no idea what the plan for tonight is, but I know I will be in bed before 10! Have a great day!
Love you all!
