TDetroit’s ramblings and nonsense

I got home last night, wife was already out, and the girls were sleeping in bed with her. 

I ate some food, checked my e-mails, etc. and then it was time for bed.  But I was too tired to move the girls, so I grabbed my pillow and blanket and went to sleep on the floor in the front room.

It was a great dream.  without going into ALL the details, I was having sex on a picnic table and then… (kick to ribs) "hey what are you doing sleeping here?"

Damnit!  Right before the finish!  She couln’t wait just another minute.  Good luck getting that dream back…

We had a supplier come in to the office this morning and make waffles for us.  mmmm.

He mixes up the batch at home, and brings in his waffle maker and some berries and whipped cream and syrup (and some of that nasty butter but not butter stuff).

I know it’s a lot of carbs and sugars, but it has all those healthy berries (anti-oxidants and stuff) - so I had 2

as posted previously, I didn’t make it to the gym at the normal time because the wife was in the hospital, but I did make it tonight.

1×5 at 225
3×6 at 315
2×10 at 235

next was inspired by MsFitness vid in her blog

pull ups 5
hanging leg lifts 15
pulls up 1
hanging leg lifts 15

i’ll have to try this without being knocked out by the squats

next was declined situps with a 35 lb plate
2×15

awesome night, though short

The old lady came home from the hospital late last night.  Well, 6 pm, but we live far enough that going back to town to go to the gym is a waste of gas, so I’ll go today after work.

The long and short of the visit.  To ba able to look at her appendix appropriately, they had to do a Catscan.  The tumor in the cecum looks normal, and is still pushing on the appendix.  The appendix is still a little inflamed, but it is within the tolerance of normal inflamation.  The surgeon, doesn’t want to do any unnecessary surgeires.  (weird, he turned down business because of honesty - who would’ve thought). 

He looked at the catscan, and decided there is no threat to lifef from the appendix and therefore there should be no surgery - especially for a stage 4 cancer patient.

Then the oncologist office called yesterday, they look at the tumors in the liver.   Apparently, there is just one tumor that decided to grow since the end of chemo.  The doc wants her to come in right away.  Could be going back to chemo, or something else.

started with the deads that I owed myself

1×5 @ 135, 1×5 @ 225, 1×5 @ 315, 1×2 @ 315

then moved to the upper body

bench press, 1×10 @ 135, 1×8 @ 155, 1×2 2 175, 1×4 @ 175

then I hit the upper back, tris, and chest from multiple angels.  gave myself some great soreness. pllanned to go back to the gym today (sunday), but the hospital issue may prevent me from getting in.  possibly go tonight, or maybe tomorrow morning.

Wife had severe pain last night.  Throwing up and … boths ends were a lost cause…

anyway, started running fever, so she called the oncologist, and we were directed to the hospital.  they are focusing on the appendix.  possible surgery, even though it is not appendacitis yet.  thinking is that it will probably go that way anyway.  prob is the tumor.  to go in and to the appendecotmy, the tumor is right next to it.  so they will have to do 2 surgeries at once.

they won’t let her eat or drink right now, so she is quite grumpy.  bitches to everyone.

they let keep her shorts when she put on the robe, but they are real loose shorts and everytime she moves, it looks like real sexy lingerie.  cool.  I want to jump on that.

She says I’m a pain.

she is happy everytime someone asks her weight, however.  after the chemotheraly diet, she is now 5′2" 120 lbs.  real happy about that, and as I mentioned, her clothes are real loose, so I am happy about that…

So I acquired binoculars with a built in digital camera (loon story).  I’ve been really excited.  lot’s of pics of geese, ducks, heron, egret, deer, etc.  pretty darn cool.

I’ve told many people about this gadget. it’s pretty darn cool, did I mention.  and almost everyone has joined me in thinking so.

then I told a receptionist at a place (I talk to everyone).  she was like.  whoah! I’d be afraid of people having that.  now I have to close my curtains.

what?  first of all, I like sex, so why didn’t I think of that.  had this damned gadget for 4 weeks and never thought of the sexual uses thereof.  I must be getting old.  and second, is she saying something about me?  hey, I’m not a peeping tom.  not yet at least.  I need practice first.  but that’s besides the point.  i am still relatively attractive, no wrinkles, v-shaped back (mostly), normal face, she should want me aas her peeping tom.  I am way better than the normal aqualung who peeps.  can you believe I got shot down before I even learned to use the camera (which I didn’t even think to use until I got shot down).  damn!

maybe I should’ve offered her the opportunity to peep me?  I don’t even have curtains, and she spend all evening in my yard with her camera.  unfortunately, there isn’t much going on.  I just check my e-mail, check out bb.com, and another ….space that shall go unmentioned here, and then go to bed.  Oh, and I wathc the news.

hmmmm…..

Am I that boring?  maybe I should do some naked jumping jacks in the window….

I have been busy lately setting up the wine tasting event for a chamber of commerce I am a member of.  it’s our first one, can’t believe that.  the organization is almost 90 years old and never had a wine tasting.

anyway, being the first one, we are all worried about how many people will be attending.  if we can make it an annual event, then we can get more people assured to come.  we only need 40 people to break even on cost.  I am hoping to get at least 80 people. 

Don’t you love when you open your mouth and say something and the next thing you know, you got the job.  I didn’t ask to be the committee chair for a wine tasting event, I only asked if we should have one.  meaning, shouldn’t one of these other guys take on the responsibility of organizing a wine tasting event?

So if you are going to be in Warren, MI today at 6pm, jusst come by Champane’s on 13 mile rd. (old chicago)  we’ll be there.

At the gym on Sunday, I was between sets of 315 on the squat rack.  I had looked around for a spotter, but couldn’t find anyone I though was big enough to spot 3 plates.  So I said, WTF, I’ve been doing 3 plates for almost 6 months, and I am doing 3×5 at 315, so I should be able to handle it. 

Anyway, I was taking a break, and I noticed that several guys kept looking across the gym in my direction.  If I looked at them, they turned away.  I thought they were like me, when I am resting, I am real intense and I look but don’t see, if someone looks back, I realize I am staring and I turn away. 

Now, I know it is far fetched to believe that every one is as nutty as me.  (I wish, then I wouldn’t feel weird talking to the nutcases instead of talking to myself).  So, I have been thinking about this for a few days.  Was it the plates?  If you look around Lifetime, it’s family place, so you don’t get the bigs you do in other places.  Lifetime is about family health.  Almost no one ever puts 3 plates on the bar.  Some of the biggest people put 3 plates on the leg press (I put 5). 

It occurred to me these guys were staring at my plates.  Most were probably wondering how someone as small as me could even possibly think of squatting 315.  They were probably thinking to run over and scoop me off the ground when I put it up and stepped back.  and then I did 5.  It is not common at Lifetime for soomeone to go heavy.  We hve a few who grab db’s off the end of the rack, but there’s a lot of dust down there. 

Amazing, someone actually thinks I am big.  I should invite Fern and GA over to show them how to lift.  Of course I would have to act like I was hurt so that no one would know they can lift more than me…

just in time too.  the doms are just starting to wear off.  still a lot sore, but much better tahn yesterday and Monday.  Yesterday, everything hurt.

Going to hit the upper body tonight and some support muscles on the legs. 

Saturday morning I will be back at the squat rack for an increase in the workout.  was doing 3×5 at 315, going to 3×6 this week and then 325 for 3×5 the following week.  trying to break 2x bw for the first week in sept, that would be 360 1 rep.  I think I am there already, but I’ll wait for labor to test.
