Didn’t sleep at all last night. My restless leg syndrome(RLS) was “kicking in” ha. Hard to sleep when you feel compelled to move your leg every 3 minutes. Dragged myself into work around 7am and bought a cappuccino and a 5 hour energy drink (extra strength). Ended up taking that around 10am and felt a little jittery afterwards. The effects didn’t seem to help much when you’re body is so tired from not sleeping. Seems like more of a “I had 5 hours of sleep and need a kick in the pants kinda drink”. Work dragged on, got a few things done for the AF guys then left work around 3:30pm.

I tried to stay up as long as I could so that I could sleep all night with Rhegan but I passed out at the keyboard at 4:45… then dragged myself to bed at 5:30pm. Oh what a night.

So after a productive day at work I decided to get a haircut… seeing that 70’s bush isn’t okay anywhere… especially on your head. Hope it looks okay. I call this the “Foe-Hawk” seeing that I’m my biggest enemy :-P play on words… clever I know.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Rhegan was making up a shopping list for food so that we could stock up our cabinets in case of some natural disaster… aka… hunger.

Just watched “Logorama” an oscar winning animated short film. Amazing use of logos and various businesses around the world. Really a joy to watch… I laughed a lot at Mr. Clean being homosexual… since he’s protrayed as the “woman’s man” in their commercials. Really enjoyed it.

P.S. – Got a package in the mail… I think I have a problem (I solved it today in 57 seconds… I’m getting there!)

Editors Note:
Forgot to mention that my weight is up to 184… mainly because I haven’t stopped drinking my calories. I’m a lush for caffeinated calorie high beverages.

This also happens to be the same day I am quitting smoking, just had my last a few moments ago and I’m just finishing up my last 20oz Coke. (Good luck right?). So the next photo will be in the same location, same clothes, just 1 week later. See you on Monday, March 8th? Great. Well here’s my pic from today… I’m flexing… something I think?

Slept in again today. Going into work tomorrow will likely be a little rough going. I made a trips today. Ran up to Target to get Rhegan a card to thank her for all her support. I then bought us lunch from Runza and took it to her work. Proceeded to Michael’s and bought her a few canvases as well.

Figured out pretty much exactly what I’d like to do with the bedroom design wise, now I just have to draw it out a million times before I can commit to it. Bamboo flooring on the walls here we come!

Slept in pretty late today. Fell asleep last night thinking about my Grandmother. Was quite a long night. I spoke to her shortly after waking up, continued talking about plans for April. I felt a little better after speaking to her.

Mid-afternoon Rhegan and I spent some time together up at Village Point shopping center. I watched Rhegan have a shoe-gasm at DSW. We poked our heads in a few other stores but ultimately ended up heading back towards home. We stopped at Lowes to pick out a ceiling fan and look at different chandeliers. Then we headed back to Shadowlake (the shopping center near our house). We ventured into Old Navy, Rhegan got a cute outfit(skirt, shirt, and shoes) while I got 4 different V-neck shirts. Borders was up next and Rhegan got 2 Chuck Palahniuk books and I got a “Get Organized” magazine by The Family Handyman.

The ceiling fan was a large improvement but “5 Minute Install” it was not. Ran into a few problems installing it but finally… victory. It looks much better and matches our furniture great. Next up is to do something with the walls and maybe get a rug to put under the bed.

I tried to keep my mind off my Grandmother today by trying to constantly stay busy at work. I’ve spoken to my coworkers about it and will be taking a week off in April to travel and see her and the rest of my family. It’s bittersweet… looking forward to seeing her (and everyone else) but wishing it wasn’t on borrowed time. This has impacted me more than I care to mention on public channels. I will be okay, but I won’t be the same.

Today Rhegan got me a “feel better” gift in the form of a $20 dollar gift card to Starbucks, 2 Mac Magazines, and a great card to match. (I love you and I’m so lucky to have found you).
