I'm plugging along, H C. Nothing like trying NOT to do ALL the stuff ya really think ya WANT to do !! HA !! I gotta learn some new habits and LIKE them....I'm getting closer to having that be my new normal.

H B.....you should have to work tonight......YOU went shooting today. Harrumph.

I only went shooting because I knew I had to work tonight. it's a trade off. I'll be off in about an hour. Home around 11:45.

Learning new habits can be tough. I've been reading some motivational articles on LinkedIn about how to start a new healthy habit. The basic gist is to start super small and easy and build up from there. Example: If you want to be able to do 50 pushups without stopping, start on day one with just 1 pushup. Do it at a time that is convenient and not cumbersome. Example: Do your pushup when you get out of bed in the morning. Each day increase by a small and easy amount. Example: increase by 1 pushup each day. After 10 days you may be able to easily do 10 pushups. Or it may be a challenge for you. Each person has to build a plan that fits them. Eventually, you'll meet your goal without experiencing a ton of discomfort or inconvenience.

Anyway, that's generally how I understand it. Now I need to learn to apply it to myself in a meaningful way.

There is a great push-up app for learning to do 50-100 push-ups in a row.

[HoneyBadger]

So... There's an app for that?

both the new presses showed up. Here's why I have TWO new progressive reloading presses:

My wife is trying to make up for some mis-deeds in the very recent past... most notably, she thought it would be a good idea to let Ritter (the new puppy) crawl around on me while I was sleeping on the couch (hey, I'll take sleep where I can get it!). The problem was that Didi (the un-official mascot of the PWT) was already sleeping on the other end of the couch. Ritter won't go near Didi, and I'm OK with that. Instead, Ritter decided that waking me up by being a playful puppy, full of wonderment, and BITING THE CRAP OUT OF MY LIP was a good idea. This caused a late night trip to the ER. Talking to the on-duty cop about animal control (it IS a dog bite) for an hour and explaining to him that a 15 week old puppy doesn't quite know what he doesn't know and thus shouldn't be held as a 'violent/dangerous animal'. I got pretty defensive with that A-Hole. So, it's about midnight and I'm pretty sternly TELLING a cop that he's not going to come to my house and take my wife's new puppy just because he's acting like a puppy.

at this point, Mrs. Belly is pretty much crying her eyes out because all she wanted was for me and the puppy to bond a little bit, and she thinks it's cute that Didi and I take naps on the couch. She wanted that for me and Ritter, too. All the while I've got a fairly profuse leak in my face that the hospital won't let me cover up because I don't have a sterile cover.

Now the cop asks to see my ID. I tell him no problem, and hand over the .mil. He asks for my driver's license. he asks for my current address, and I tell him no thanks. It's not required for their report, and it's not required per state or local law, and that I'm not giving him any opportunity to go to my house and mess with my puppy. He can choke on a giant bag of balls if he thinks I'm giving that up. Needless to say, I was pretty hot under the collar.

So, here I am, in the ER, semi-yelling at a cop with blood streaming out of my lip, and they finally call me back to get it taken care of. I asked the ER doc if it could be cleaned out and have steri-strips instead of stitches. he says nope. (background info: I HATE needles. They scare the crap out of me, and the sight of needles going towards my skin has ALWAYS made the fight/flight instinct kick in.) He says it needs stitches because the tear in ym face starts on my upper lip and crosses the line ONTO MY LIP....

Think about that. The doc has to give me stitches ON. MY. LIP........EFF. MY. LIFE.

So, needless to say, I now have stitches on my face.
