Another week down! Although this one was rather boring, but right now boring is good. We finished up the last job early Monday morning so I started heading back towards Houston to meet up with my wife at the hospital. Well, go visit her at the hospital. Things were looking kind of shaky last Sunday night and that Luke might be joining us sooner rather than later, but miraculously things calmed down once I got here. Now it looks like we can probably push the balloon removal surgery until next Tuesday which will give him almost 6 week with the balloon in. Then we'll see what happens from there. I'll be heading back to work tonight or early Sunday morning to get in another 2 days and then it's back to the hospital.
Earlier this month I decided to start making monthly exercise goals to keep me on track. In hindsight, they were too aggressive. Not because of physical reasons but due to my sometimes hectic work schedule, sleep is much more important. In case you forgot my goals are:
Hopefully I'll get back on track next week but who knows what tomorrow will bring let alone the next week.

This past week has been pretty crazy and I'm glad I haven't gone back to work yet. Each month we get a new doctor to be the attending, doctor in charge of Luke, and this past Monday they swapped again. Since we had a new doctor coming on we...

Well I'm sure you noticed that I didn't get a lot of writing done this week. That wasn't for a lack of "want to" but just a matter of lack of time. Monday at the hospital with Luke, Tuesday I headed back to work, Wednesday and...

October has been a crazy month and I can't believe that it's already done with. I didn't get to take advantage of the market selloff, well at least not with larger purchases, because investing was hardly my priority for the month. Essentially...

Well as usual no week can be smooth and relaxing. Monday was spent recuperating from the weekend in San Antonio and then I started having to wrap things up at the house before heading back to work on Wednesday. And of course they ended up calling...

This past week has been an absolute whirlwind. My wife and I continued to move things over to the new house and then of course it was time for me to head back to work on Tuesday. I really dislike when I first get back because we drill for a day and...

- 1,000 pushups
- 1,000 squats
- 1,000 burpees
- 30 minutes of planks
I didn't do too well on my goals this past week with only 2 days of being semi-successful. It's not that I didn't want to do them but my priority was making sure my wife was okay. Plus a big cold front moved in early this week and dropped the temperatures down a lot and here I am with nothing but t-shirts and shorts.
- 245 pushups
- 225 squats
- 65 burpees
- 5 minutes of planks
