No not me, but a family member might be next week.  It’s knee replacement time.  As soon as the final word comes back that it’s a go, I will be traveling up there tuesday night and spend a few days there to help out.  And now that I have an iPad, it makes it pretty easy to remote into work while I’m away in case there are any huge issues.  Sometimes that happens.  I remember my last surgery.  Just this last January.  The day of was just horrible, but after a couple weeks I was back to normal pretty much.  Well as much as my normal is anyways.

I hope to get back into blogging more often.  Our boys have kept us pretty busy over the summer and now it’s time to get re-focused..

It says it all really.  Everyone where you turn there are more and more diet aids.  They just stand out like there is no tomorrow.  Top Diets, Super Pills, best diet pills, etc. They are in stores, commercials, TV, news papers. Wow just all over. You would think with all this there would some type of peer pressure. hehe. Oh well what can you do right.

It feels like the sun around here lately.  Just more and more.  Lately it’s been really hot here, and usually we don’t see this hot weather till mid july.  They are forecasting a high of 102 tomorrow with a heat index of 105..  Yikes..!  As I type this and its’s roughly 940pm, it’s still 92 out.!!!   Just crazy.  Why did I move here again?  LOL…

Anyone else have something they see over and over again, or more and more…?  I would like to hear about it..

So today I was at the store running around picking out some cards for my wife’s upcoming birthday and to grab some lunch and I turn the corner and hit the aisle that contains the incontinence products. I’m sure I will need them one day I will require this aisle of products but not at the moment.  So I just zipped on by while I was gathering up my goods.

Sometimes I don’t mind running around the store.  Most of the times the lines are short which I really like.  But to side track the other night it took forever which was not really appreciated, LOL…

My co-worker’s cousin, had some good news recently.

He is 14 or maybe he is 15, and has been batteling cancer for awhile now. I don’t think he has mesothelioma, but I do know just a few weeks ago the doctors came back after some tests and said it has reappeared in his blood stream and spinal fluid. Well some good news came out the other day and the Doctor said that he cannot detect any cancer in the blood stream or spinal fluid. That is AWESOME! news. At least I think so.

So I’m going to try and keep this updated on his condition.  I think he is moving in the right direction now.

About 1 year ago they announced a 24 hour fitness moving in by my work with an opening date of Fall ’08.  Yeah I know pretty broad.  So when they finally announced a date (April ’09).  So I was pretty excited as I decided once it opens 2-3 times per week on my lunch break I will go work out.  I feel if I can get into a routine then it should work out pretty good.

I’m not sure what I will completely do.  They do not have racquetball (bummer) but have basketball, lol – you don’t want to see me play.  I will probably do some cardio and maybe swim some laps..  If I can get into a routine and stay healthy then there will never be a need for diet pills.  Now some people swear by them and if it works for them great!!!

So next Monday or Tuesday will be the start to hopefully a new weekly work out routine and I can start losing weight and feeling great!

After 1.5 years the rest of my tooth finally broke.  Last Monday at work just a few short days ago I felt the horrible feeling of tooth and fillings coming loose.  The good news, I had a root canal done on this tooth 6-7 years ago other wise I think I would have been in some serious pain.  It broke off just above the gum line.  It left about 5% of my tooth sticking up.  I scrambled all week to find an oral surgeon and yesterday I finally found one.

So as I write this up, I have gauze in my mouth, the novocaine wearing off, and my pain pills are still at the store being processed.  Much fun I tell you.  The Doc barely gave it time to get numb before he was in there starting the procedure.  At one point I thought he was going to break my jaw.  lol.  I was done in 10 minutes.  That has to be some kind of record right?    Oh well..  I’m going to post this and go get some pain killers so this won’t be hurting so much..
