Janice

Well today was an interesting day, not so much for what happened but for how things worked out.  I got up this morning to send Lexy to school and took a nap for a bit after she left.  I got up a bit later to go to the store to get a loaf of bread so as to make Mike lunch for when he came home.  It is always nice when I get to see him at lunch.  I went to the Y after he left for my workout. I try to do this at least 3 times a week.  I am really starting to get into it I guess. I really only like going to the Y with Mike and Alexandra but on wednesdays I have to go by myself.  After the Y I went to Alexandras school to talk to the VP who accused Lexy of stealing.  i asked her to apologize to alexandra and I felt that she gave a real apology. I was satisfied with it and I think that she really did seem apologetic.  Alexandra was very uncomfortable with me being there but ut  had to be done .  I went to work from there and it was a very uneventful evening to say the least. That brings me to now I am about to go to sleep. I work day shift tomorrow and i just might be going to the Y in the evening.   Time to shove off night all.

Janice says:

Well, it is now 10:38pm and we are in bed watching the Red Sox play the Yankees.  I hope they kick there butts.  It is raining outside and tonight was not a great night for me.  I hate the rain because I ache so much.  Such is life though, just pop a few Tylenol and on we go.  We did not go to the Y tonight.  Mike took a nap and Lexy and I went to the grocery store and got stuff for a taco salad.  Yum Yum.  I got to the bottom of the troubles for my breathing mask this afternoon.  Am I ever glad I have blue cross!  I have a new mask to wear at night and it cost $245.00.  I would love to know what the markup is on them.  I will be using it as soon as the cold goes away.  Work was not that busy today and I had an ok day.  Lexy came  to work and came with me to VitalAir to get to the bottom of my issues.  We  walked up to the city hospital and walked back home.  The big garbage clean up night is tonight and we did not put too much out for it, but we did get rid of Lexy's old bed.  I guess we will wait till we move to get rid of all the excess junk.  With that I will let Mike take over and do his blog so we can watch the game then go to sleep.  Night all.

not a bad sleep last night i guess, but janice said i snored like an army of chainsaws overnight; i guess neither one of us is safe from that... the day was kind of a slow one for work, as the first two or three days of the week usually are; the issue with perc is still ongoing as i'm waiting for information to be forwarded to us; today the perc didn't really cause any problems, but i did get a recurrence of my dying tooth problems, where i got the tremendously sharp pain in the root of an upper molar i'm waiting for root canal surgery for on july 7... came home and laid down promptly as my back was bugging me some, though not as much as it has been; i'm cautiously optimistic about recovery, but it's taking an awfully long time compared to past episodes; janice and lexy made supper and when i got up, we ate and watched 'wwe raw', then an old original 'star trek' episode that i never saw before called 'the cage', which was the pilot for the original series that never aired on tv before, when shatner wasn't yet cast as captain kirk; we're really looking forward to seeing 'star trek' at the theatre this saturday night, while lexy and her bud courtney go watch the 'hannah montana' movie... boston's up 5-3 as i type this over the evil empire, so i'll sign off with that.  on deck:  back to the y for another weight/cardio workout, plus whatever fate throws our way.

5.4.2009

wow, bit of a rough sleep last night, going to bed kind of late and getting to sleep a lot later than i wanted, waking up five hours later while janice suffered bouts of coughing fits overnight... worked my first 7-3:30 shift today and it flew by; i think it's going to be nice -- the investigation on the perc chemical is moving forward, though... janice got off work at the same time i did, lex went to her friend's house then came home, and we all went to the y for a workout; i did my first cardio/weight training in a long time, even though my back's still bugging me; janice did her cardio, and lex did her complete program; came home and barbecued chicken for supper... lex bought some songs and videos on itunes via a gift card she got from her friend courtney for her birthday; she was off to bed then it was time for another rockin' episode of 24, which we're near the end of the season for now; bon jovi announced for the hill today with cummings and bachman--what a colossal disappointment.  on deck:  work and school as usual, perhaps a cardio day at the y, not sure what else just yet.

Janice says:

Well yup, we did go to the Y and we did sweat.  I had  a great workout, I felt good about all the calories I burned and it was sure cute seeing Lexy go around the gym and do all of her training as well she has only been waiting for about a year or so to be able to do it.  Work was busy today and I was hopping.  When I was done Mike picked me up and we brought all the rest of the pop we purchased home.  We watched 24 tonight and wow, what an episode it was.  A few times I was like "holy shit, what the f**k?"  Hopefully I will not cough to much tonight and keep Mike up.  Tomorrow I have an appointment at VitalAir to see if I can get to the bottom of the mask thing for my breathing machine.  We will see.  Time for bed.

5.3.2009

slept in this morning due to going to church saturday instead this week, although i woke up with a tremendously sore back that had me thinking i made no progress at all... the three of us went to shoppers drug mart and stocked up on 710ml six packs of diet pepsi, collecting something like 240 bottles of the stuff thanks to janice having $100 worth of sdm gift cards she earned from her boss for doing such a fantastic job at running the store's post office; that's my wife!!... came home, and i got horizontal for the afternoon to try to stave off any further complications with my friggin' back; it's making me increasingly frustrated; janice and alexandra proceeded to fix up lexy's room in anticipation of the arrival of her new bed at the end of the week... had chicken wings and homemade fries for supper, did more investigating about the chemical exposure at work, and we got a visit from old pal/boss donnie goguen, who dropped off a big load of bottles for alexandra and chatted with us for awhile -- don's business is going extremely well and is going to lift off into orbit by the end of the year from the sounds of what he and his partners have planned... the three of us watched the amazing race tonight; i'm disappointed my black beauties aren't in the final 3, but it's shaping up to be a good finale next week... the news is on, and an overworked janice is ready to take over the station.  on deck:  starting the 7-3:30 shifts for the summer, janice works daytime, lex has school, and hopefully back to the y for some sweating.

Janice says:

Well it has been a busy day with all of the cleaning in Lexy's room.  We were at it for, oh let me say, probably 3 and 1/2 hours.  I am beat.  I did the laundry and I did some other random cleaning in the house.  The Y was out today so we could concentrate on Lexy's room.  We will be going back tomorrow night and getting down to some business.  As Mike was saying I am working the day shift tomorrow and I am looking forward to coming home and relaxing.  It was a beautiful day and it looks like it will be even nicer tomorrow.  Bring on the nice weather. Time for bed.  Night all.

all three of us had a fairly decent sleep last night; got up and after a little bit we all headed out on the town, first to champlain place to look for a bed for alexandra; checked out sears there, walked around the mall a bit and then went to sears on trinity drive, and found a nice single bed for the munchkin; most certainly an upgrade for her that she very much deserves.  went from there to costco and got a few things, then went home... got ready for church, then went, and alexandra wound up serving though it's fairly unusual for altar servers to show up on saturday evidently; from there, we went home and then lex and janice went to the y for cardio then swimming, and i went to pete's place in riverview to jam out some music ideas.  it was a fruitful session; we got a lot of stuff done.  came home and the three of us had spaghetti, watched tv a little and now here we are in bed with snl on tv.  on deck:  fixing up alexandra's room, getting it ready for her new bed arriving on friday.

Janice says:

Well Lex and I went to the Y and we did a bit of sweating.  We then went into the pool and spent some time in the therapy pool.  I sure do like that therapy pool, it is some relaxing.  I think we may take tomorrow off and go back on Monday.  I am looking forward  to sleeping in tomorrow morning.  When we get up we will be doing a pop run at shoppers drug mart.  Diet Pepsi is on sale for $2.22 for a six pack of 710ml bottles.  We will be stocking up.  It is a two day sale so we have to get there early because a lot of customers will be out as well.  Lex is looking forward to redoing her room and getting her new bed.  She won't have to worry about falling out of her bed anymore at least.  Anyway time for bed.  Night all.

5.1.2009

got a question--anyone reading this?  no way to know besides comments and no one posts any besides sweetheart friend cindy... not a bad day; sleep has been better since janice sleeps sitting up a bit, she sleeps far more soundly, although sometimes i get up with headaches; i'm suspicious of the perc chemical at work... and at work it was busy; my pal darren is getting a dangerously slim amount of sleep, due to the loss of his wife that he's having trouble getting over, logically; got a 'dcm' brand speaker from buddy marshall to try out, as there's a pair of speakers that he's selling that i'm looking to buy for djing gigs; chatted with anothe coworker glen with marshall for a while after work... came home and napped a bit while lex and janice went to the y to do some exercise, and lexy had her trainer appointment to set up a workout to keep her fit for the next wrestling season at school; she's getting antsy about getting a new bed, which we'd love to provide for her but it's tough with our $$ situation... had a chicken supper, then we watched wwe smackdown and then the news.  on deck:  due for a jam with buddy pete, possibly might go to church today instead of sunday morning.

Janice says:

Well it was an ok day at work.  It was pretty busy just not crazy busy.  Lex and I went to the Y and we did  30 minutes on the treadmill and 15 minutes on the bikes.  She had her trainer appointment and I decided to do my weight program and some more treadmill work.  I ended up doing another 45 minutes of speed walking on the treadmill.  I really like the fact that Lex can go to the Y and get in  the gym without us.  I guess if Mike goes to Pete's house tomorrow I may go with him we will see.  Maybe Lex and I will go to the Y.  Time will tell. Chow for now.
