Gym Training, Sugar Rush and Writing

Watching: Doom Patrol Eating: Sweet Potato Casserole I love wine with pasta. It was a conversation I had with my trainer. I bought training sessions over a year ago and then everything shut down. Now that the gym is open I have the training sessions again.  This is my third trainer. The other two quit. I like this one, but boy am I tired when we're done. I like the results but I hate working out. I'm finally getting the body I want. Emory and I made rice crispy treats and these vegan Snickers (candy bars). The Snickers we used dates, cut them in half, put peanut butter inside them, two peanuts and covered them in chocolate and stuck them in the fridge. They're really good. I think we're really strung out on junk food right now. We've been trying to limit how much of it we eat, but it's hard when we both crave it. I've been watching Dollar Tree shopping hauls, but my Dollar Tree never has any of the items that others find. It's really disappointing. I...

Arizona for the Weekend, Fireworks and Visiting Family

We drove to Arizona for a couple of days. The older I get the less fun the drive is. I don't even have the pre-excitement for the drive, but getting out there is great.  Ann and I hit up three different Good Wills. She doesn't like the company and I just sort of now understand that Emory doesn't either. The company started out promising, but I can't speak more on it because I don't fully understand everything that goes into the politics of the company.  Ann and I hit up three separate stores for me to find books and for her to find art. I love finding obscure novels, hopefully novels from the 80's, but on this trip, I found a lot of Urban Fantasy and Fantasy novels. I bought Emory a couple books and the rest are mine, though sometimes I find a really interesting storyline that I think he'll read. After all, he did introduce me to the Anita Blake series, so anything similar to that, I toss his way.  I now have enough books for the rest of the year, but I have...

Personal Trainer, Paranormal Haunts and Halloween Horror Nights

I have a personal trainer again. Finally started going back to the gym and I had some credit for personal trainer sessions. It's kicking my ass. I asked for muscle building sessions and this trainer is ruthless and he laughs when I tell him that. His goal is to make me stronger and he's doing a really good job. I can see muscle lines plus, before the training I used to wake up with the worst knee pain. The pain would wake me up in the middle of the night and I'd be stuck trying to walk off the way the joints felt locked. It's not the same as a Charlie horse. This felt like my joints would lock in place. Anyone else have those problems? Since I started working out, my joints haven't been locking. It's only been a few weeks, but it's helped a bit. I need to keep this up even past the training sessions. I started watching ghost hauntings in other states. I would love to join a paranormal investigation team, but I'm on the fence. A large part of me believes ...
