Raxie Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 Jitters I'm sorry I'm glad you're getting to see him Monday though. Also, I'm glad you got some stuff figured out with your shoulder and am taking a real break from lifting while it gets sorted.

Jittersthe.Clown Posted October 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 The Captain has left the Boat. He passed yesterday morning at 10:30 surrounded by family. Including my wife and my daughter who were there to say hi. He went peacefully and with a smile on his face. He will be missed, but he will be remembered with love in our hearts. I left work yesterday and stayed at my grandparents place till about 4. Had an appointment and went home to spend time with my family. We'll have the services next week. I think I have everything for his eulogy. Last night, my kids thought it would be a good night to work out (it was my usual day) so JJ was leading us in what we were doing. He pushed the squats. Felt good to get the workout in. In bed by 9. Long day. It looks like we are working tomorrow. Good that I don't have to use up my vacation time, but I was kind of hoping for a 3 day weekend... Oh well.

Jittersthe.Clown Posted October 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 Reference for the captain remark:So many memories on that boat. We'd go out of Hastings and up the St. Croix to the Kinnickinnic beach. Land and spend the day swimming, eating, digging holes and playing games. I learned how to play poker on that boat. Grandpa would go into the water to scrub down the hull and to make sure the water was deep enough for us to jump off the back of the boat.

Jittersthe.Clown Posted October 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 kÄda svaiga ellÄ“ tas ir!? Quick back story. My son was named star of the week. Does a lot of fun things including a lunch with parents on Thursday. Today was that day. My wife got to the parking lot and before she even got out of her van, a man came up to her door. He told her he was a former police officer and that he saw her run a red light and she was on her cell phone. He said he followed her to the school and took down her plate number and was going to report it. All of this was through a closed door and because it's broken, a closed window. She said he was yelling the whole time. She was smart enough not to open the door and get out. He eventually drove off. Here's a few reasons why this bothers me: You do not approach a vehicle and start yelling at someone. If there is something you witness that was illegal, you call the cops. Secondly, my daughter was also in the car. I can't help think the worst about this. Next, unrelated to (and before) her calling the school, I got a call from the school administrator for a clown gig I have tomorrow. After I let her know what happened, she let me know that a car was stolen from their parking lot last week and two weeks before that, equipment was taken from the landscaper's truck while they were there working. Someone might be at work on this area. Then, last week, we had a window broken late at night by someone throwing a neighbor's solar light at it, so I'm a bit paranoid. I don't know if this guy was a cop or just some nut job, but either way, it doesn't sit right with me. Right now, I have an immense amount of rage billowing inside. I truly want to smash something or someone right now. I'm considering taking tomorrow off of work because this past hour has been hard for me to concentrate on anything. Side note, driving while talking on a cell is not illegal in MN, though texting is. My wife does not run red lights. Hell, she barley runs the yellows. If she needs to use her cell while driving, she would pull over to use it, even if it's a phone call. I am grateful she and my daughter are okay. She is frazzled, but I think she'll be fine. She did have fun having lunch with JJ today. So we've got that.

Jittersthe.Clown Posted October 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 Holy crap are my legs yelling at me today. In the last 5 days, I've done a total of 450 squats for a PvP challenge. Last night, after chatting with Jess, I went for a good 5 mile run. It felt really good and it helped calm me down from the week I'd been having. Got my wife calmed down and things seem a little more normal. I want to thank you all for the well wishes and support. You guys and gals are the best around. I am blessed to have you all in my life, even if it's electronically.

Jittersthe.Clown Posted October 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 Week in review:Keep the Mojo mojoing:6/415/22So many squats and lunges last week. I haven't felt the DOMs like this since I started running a year and a half ago. It was a lot of fun. I gave my kids full authority to call out "Batman's coming!" and then had to call out lunges or squats and I would have to do a set of 10. Well, you give a 7 and a 3 year old that kind of power... things got a little nutty.They enjoyed doing it while I was in costume at my son's school carnival on Friday as well. The gym teacher was running a fitness booth where you earn little trinkets for doing something workout related. He approved. Tonight is going to be tough to get something in because of my grandpa's wake, but I'll be able to get a run in tomorrow morning. Then back to business as usual. All that heavy isn't going to lift itself:0/3 2/18 Peace can only come from within: 6/5 19/30Extra meditation on Saturday morning. Clear mind. Very relaxing. Everybody needs somebody:3/6Asked the kids to help me out and they stepped up.

Jittersthe.Clown Posted October 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 Thank you for the support, everyone. I appreciate it. We sent grandpa off yesterday. The grandsons (7 of us) were on pall bearer duties. We made it 8 with my son. (I'm in the blue shirt with the 7 year old in front of me)It made grandma's day to see him helping us out. He is the oldest great grand child and has always had a special relationship with the grandparents. Had yesterday off for the funeral, but I was still up at 5am with my work alarm. Went for a run because I could. And I have a race in a little over a month. I am thinking about signing up for the hot chocolate 15k next April. Kat, you with me on that one? Keep the Mojo mojoing:2/4117/22Interval workout on Monday night after the wake and a run yesterday.
