Thanks for sharing those pictures! 

 

I hope bath time continues to improve- I love how creative you're being

 

People say necessity is the mother of invention, I say desperation is invention's fun uncle.

 

This was good stuff.

 

Today is a good day. I caught a sad on the way in to work listening to the news on the radio about all the crap that went down over the weekend. I eventually felt better. I did KBs in the morning before work, dinner was delivery. 

[WhiteGhost]

I've had this song playing in the back of my mind a lot recently

 

 

There are a few new verses could be added since this was published  

[starsapart]

I'm super behind on everything after my time away from the internet, but I'm glad you're doing okay and continuing to work on the bath resistance. A+ in parenting.

There could indeed.

And the non-angsty verison:

 

Today is a good day. I got another sad at work that went away. I did some stretches at home before work that felt really good and loosened up some stuff.

Dinner was spaghetti. The sauce was ground beef with Italian Seasoning, Grape tomatoes cut in half, baby spinach wilted down, some pasta sauce (four cheese) and some goat cheese melted in to everything else. I put parmesan on top because apparently there wasn't enough cheese already. We had garlic bread on the side.

I had not heard the desperation part, but that is the most accurate thing I think I've ever heard!

A few years after this song came out, I was in college. The Bible building where I had most of my classes was the Phelps Bible Building. The a/c was unsatisfactory. I used to sing to myself that "I'm so Hot, cause I"m in Phelps." I was very amused by my wit, but even back then was self aware enough to keep it to myself.

 

Today is a heck of a day. Little but was up a couple of times and I could not comfort her, so Sra. Tanque had to stay up with her. I developed one of my headaches, so I wasn't any help in the morning. I went to get labs drawn for a follow-up visit from the Blood Pressure visit a few weeks ago, but I wasn't hydrated enough for them to get a sample. The phlebotomist was awesome and I didn't feel a thing. I hadn't been drinking water for fear of not being able to keep stuff down, so I wasn't dehydrated, just not hydrated enough for a blood draw. I'll try again tomorrow, as they rescheduled me. I was starting to feel a little better by that point, and came home for lunch. I went to my police station for a roll call for one of my units. They met outside. I came back home, then turned around and left again for my first haircut since March. Sra. Tanque was pretty frazzled by then. She wasn't upset with me, we knew this was going to happen as I brought it up the day before to warn her. All the same, having the baby that long on a baby-is-fussy day wasn't easy. Our church is having a thing tonight right at the baby's bed time. I was originally gonna go, but encouraged Sra. Tanque to go instead so she could get some out of the house and away from baby time. The baby went down early so she's asleep right now.

 

I'm recovering from the headache, but am gonna pass on KBs today. Anyone judging by the conversations we had today (Sra. Tanque and I) would be hard pressed to tell who was better taken care of, who was more grateful, and who had given more. It's one of those days where we both felt the other person took good care of us and did more than we did.

You two are very lucky to have each other.

You’re awesome (together)

You were just practicing for your years of fatherhood.

 

Glad to hear you and Sra Tanque were able to turn around your stressful days and find blessings in them

Sounds like A Day. Good job getting through it. ❤️

[Elastigirl]

Sorry about the headache. That's nice of you to let Sra Tanque go out while you take baby duty.

They really knocked it out of the park at Celebration day.

 

Today is a good day. Got my blood draws done this morning (as well as a urine sample, good thing I was well hydrated). Then came home and had a late breakfast. We got laundry done while trading playing with Little Bit. At noon we went to the In-Laws for my FIL's Birthday. We had food delivered there and stayed all afternoon. We came back home and had delivery for dinner. I never did work out. I'm not gonna beat myself up about it, and yet it would have been nice to get a workout in.

It sounds like it was a good day indeed! Tomorrow’s workout will feel extra good because you had a chance to miss it a bit.  what a happy reunion it will be with the kettlebells!

Glad this got done too, and you guys spent some time visiting as well, to relax a bit and get out together.

[starpuck]

Caught up!    You guys work together so beautifully, and I just love it.    Hair cuts good!  Yay!  I get mine done on Sunday and I am so excited hah.  Except for the part where I'll be in a mask for like 2 hours straight because cuts and colors are time consuming haha.       Wise to do what needs doing and not get too upset about missed workouts.  Being of the mind you wish you could have, is much better than other ways of thinking.   

[Mad Hatter]

I feel like I never have anything to say in your thread, but I just wanted to let you know I'm always enjoying the awesomeness.

[Heidi]

Sorry to hear about the unrest. It's dicey Back East as well. I'm not near the state capitals, but close enough to be aware. Fortunately the gov of Virginia seems to be taking the moment to have a real opportunity.

 

Great pix of Little Bit!!

 

I'm feeling it, so here's my Offering of Angst (and possible earworm for @darkfoxx)

You speak the truth. One of my professors often said the true test of a prophet is if their words come true.

With the beard trim I had to take off the mask for my cut.

You are very welcome all the same and I am glad you are here. I never have too much to say in your threads either, so we are on equal footing.

I'm glad I was alone in the office when I played that song  

 

 

Top comment on youtube: "This song makes my weed smoke me." I don't partake of things cannabis, all the same I respect the sentiment.

 

Today is a good day. Little Bit woke up in the night, so she and Sra. Tanque slept in. I had breakfast and took care of several things we had procrastinated on the day before, scoring major points in so doing  I also did the EMOM KB workout I created, so I did indeed reunite with the bells today. Didn't cook a meal, but I did bake some bone in chicken thighs we have that were subbed on our grocery order so I can debone them later for meals. That's a big part of the reason I haven't cooked much this week; I had a mental block about cooking with the bone in thighs. Today Little Bit is 9 months old!

Ohhhh, what is the KB workout you created! I love new KB circuits

It's 10 swings EMOM for ten minutes. For the first round I do halos after the swings (8 per side) for the second round I do OHP after the swings (10 per side), then bent over rows after the third round (10 per side), repeat, then for rounds 7-10 I do just the swings. Its a good workout for me.
