In the continuing saga of trying to overhead press my 140 pound grappling dummy, I was able to get it over my head, but not lock out my arms. That’s ok, I’m still figuring out hand placement and weight distribution. The danger happens after the weight has reached it’s peak height, I’ve got no gripContinue reading “12 December 2025”

The big news today is I was able to overhead press 155 pounds. Yesterday, I was talking about increasing the weight on my straight barbell to 155, mostly to look nice and even. A 45 pound plate then a 2.5 pound plate looks a little silly. The fear for me was if I could doContinue reading “11 December 2025”

Does time even exist between Thanksgiving and Christmas? This will probably be the last week I write of the year and it seems like nothing is going on. I’m going to talk about my gym as I recently increased my weights. In the gym there is a straight barbell that stays on the squat rackContinue reading “10 December 2025”

Lots of repetitive tasks, and it’s literally freezing out, it’s the final stretch of the year. What is life? We’re born, live, then die. Who’s to say which step is the most important, we spend the most time living, so we assume that means something. Death will be the beginning of eternity, in that wayContinue reading “9 December 2025”

There’s so much to do before the end of the year and even day by day. There’s still a doll house that needs assembling and we’ll be traveling before Christmas with the dog and cats. I’d like to start recording my show again with the beginning of the year and need to do a recordingContinue reading “8 December 2025”

Earlier this week I was talking about how improving everyday items improves life on the whole, things like dishes, towels, and a nice mattress. After decorating I thought about our stocking, how 10 years ago they were solid red and white dollar store stocking that I wrote our names on with puffy paint. When theContinue reading “4 December 2025”

Last night I hit a wall, metaphorically. I had a mental break, but am alright now. In the American South we’ve got freezing temperatures and I’m a fire sign. First call yesterday was some screams at 6 AM and at 6:30 the little princess was crying too. The extra holiday activities like decorating and assemblingContinue reading “3 December 2025”

We switched our dishes yesterday. The old ones were nice, but they belonged to my queen’s grandmother and we’ve been using them for at least 10 years. There were some chips in the dishes and a couple plates have fallen on the ground over the years. Now we’re part of the blue and white club,Continue reading “2 December 2025”

Finally finished a long Thanksgiving weekend, everything went well, just tired. The elder princess is full of energy and never stops moving, it made me realize she’s probably more tired at home and school makes them sit still for parts of the day. By the end of the day or even by lunch some daysContinue reading “1 December 2025”

Daycare is closed this week, so I’ve got the girls at home. There won’t be much writing this week and even dieting will be difficult. In my personal life I’ve been trying to figure out the best course of action with the ongoing genocide and the media being controlled on the topic, essentially all mainstreamContinue reading “25 November 2025”
