20200312 - Too Close

20200312 - Up in the am and did a bunch of stuff from bed and got myself together and headed in. In to the office and got my questions from last night answered.  Today seemed to be a day of cancellations. The Governor is shutting down schools for the next 3 weeks and the big Booster fundraising event got cancelled and NBA shut down and everyone is going crazy about the virus... L made dinner and LG&I ate, J was at work. After a bit G&I headed to his baseball practice. I chatted with one of D's buddies that works at Dbat and then with Terrill a Dr friend and he says this is crazy and it is not good for our kids to not be exposed, that is how immune systems build themselves up at a young age. After practice G&I had to take Trent home and we stopped at the grocery and got our list of final things. Glad we got all the essentials over the last 2 weeks because the shelves were bare. Home and watched some TV with L and then headed in to the office for another late night.

20200311 - G on Honor Roll

20200311 - Up in the am and in to work and I GOT MY WHITEBOARD!!!  I LOVE IT!!!! . Had an incredibly busy day and used the new white board to get my plans out of my head, what a relief! Got a lot done and headed out a bit late. Stopped at home and picked up J and we went to the shoe store and got him some spikes for track. Home for a minute and G&I headed to baseball practice.  Practice was ok. Home and everyone to bed and I got on the PC and worked until 3.

20200310 + NO TP

20200310 + Up a bit late and surprise I am in AFib. Got myself together and drove the back roads to the office. Got to the office and feeling much better. Put in a full day but exhausted. Headed out a bit late. Home and L made a good dinner and LG&I ate. After dinner L&I headed to Kroger where everyone in Gahanna was either there or had been there earlier in the day, this virus that is coming is freaking people out... NO TOILET PAPER! The store is also under construction so it is a mess and we couldn't find things. We went back and forth and and spent about 2 hours there and got 2 carts full of stuff. Home and J&G helped us unload. L&I put everything away and then sat down to watch the Bachelor. After the show we headed to bed and I worked till 3.

20200309 - Late Night

20200309 - Up in the am and in to the office. Had an extremely busy day. Got a lot done and things moving for the week. Headed home and made some calls to cancel baseball practice and  Bible Banger. Had dinner with L&G and J got home from his first day of Track practice. I headed in to the office and started working. L ran G to Practice and J headed up to his room. I got to a spot I didn't need multiple monitors so I jumped up, my heart went into AFib, I relaxed, it went back to normal, I watched some TV with L while I worked. Ran to pick G up and chatted with Tom a bit. G&I ran to Burger King to get milkshakes and a chat. I apologized for putting pressure on him in the past during baseball and let him know I don't care if he plays baseball or runs track or does nothing. If it gets to be too much just speak up and we'll take a break or change directions or whatever.  It doesn't mate what or how good he is at something, I just enjoy being with him. Home and watched some more TV with L and got stuff done. Everyone headed to bed and I headed in to the office and worked on my project until 3am.

20200308 + Farm Boys

20200308 + Up in the am and L got the boys fed. We headed up to the farm, LGJ, Conor, Lasron and I. It was a quick trip and we got there, got some boots on and headed out with Gma&paW. We picked up some stuff people had dumped in one of the fields, measured the wood shed, raked some leaved, picked up sticks, covered a hole in the barn floor, got some mulch and spread it and checked out the toilet and ceiling repair. The boys took off on a hike up to the camp to see the falls and do some exploring. We made some plans and discussed the day. The boys came back and we headed up to get a bite to eat at Burger King with Gma&paW and then got ton the road home. We dropped Conor off and then back to the house. J took Larson home and then headed to work. L&I took naps and G was on the Xbox. L&I out to O'Charley's for dinner, TOOK FOREVER. We got our food asked for to-go boxes and went home and ate while we watched American Idol. Zombie guys didn't show up tonight so I finished American Idol with L&G. J home and I watched The Walking Dead after everyone got to bed.

20200307 - Close

20200307 - UP in the am and J&I ran to get gas in all the gas cans we have. We went to Giant Eagle and J filled them and my car up. He managed to spray himself with the gas hose a couple times.  We swung through the pharmacy on the way home and picked a prescription for me. Home and got the generator running. LG&I headed out. We ran and picked up Luke, a friend of G's and we went to the division championship game that the boys high school team was playing in. It was a great game and we saw tons of folks there we knew. ON the way home we stopped at Wendy's to harass J a bit and get a snack. Home and G & Luke in the backyard playing in this beautiful day. Luke's dad Jason picked him up and we chatted for a bit. When they left LG&I headed to IKEA to get some little things L wanted. G was opposed to going but loved looking at everything. We drove through White Castle on the way home. Home and G couldn't find a friend to spend the night. L&I watched the new Mr. Rogers movie and then the documentary and waited up for J to get home from work. All to bed and L&I laughing and stinking ourselves out with White Castle gas :-)

20200306 - Overtime

20200304 - Hard Swing

20200304 - Up in the am and in to work. Had some heated discussions this am and a couple calls. But all good and moved a bunch of stuff forward with some extra punch. Headed home and relaxed a bit before G&I headed to baseball practice. It was  good practice, but Tom was on G a little too much for my liking... Home and settled in for the evening. I shipped some ebay things and got some stuff done on the PC.

20200303 + Inspirational

20200303 + Up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and my heart changed... not exactly sure how to describe it but my pulse dropped dramatically. Laid in bed until I had to get up to go to work. In to work, talked to bill on the way in about baseball and G, got everyone stirred up and started my meetings for the day. It was a busy day and I was exhausted so I headed out a bit early. I got home and J had just gotten home too. J headed upstairs, G was on the x-box and L was cutting things out at the table. I went to bed. I got up and J&I headed to a seminar where we got to hear Craig MacFarlane speak. He is the 'World's Greatest Blind Athlete'. It was a really good speech about challenges and how to overcome them. To my surprise J asked a question at the end and really liked it. Home and hung out for only a bit before heading to bed after a long day.

20200302 - Swing Time

20200302 - Up late in the am and in to work. Working with Cory and Brit all day on the monthly billing. Got it working and then headed home. Had some dinner and then J headed to Scouts and G&I headed to baseball practice. It was a good practice and G did good. Home, dropped off G, checked in with Doc, he's not going to Bible Bangers tonight, so I headed to McD's to meet up with the guys. Hung out with the guys a bit, got some texts that things were not going well at home with J, so headed home and got things situated so J could get his homework done.

20200301 - Preparing

20200301 - Up in the am and L picked G up from his sleepover and dropped him at baseball practice. I got a couple things done. L&I ran to get groceries, she bought way more than usual because I was a long and was building up my Corona-virus stockpile. Home and D&I ran to another store to get some of the stuff that wasn't at the first. Home and Lonie there.  D&J got the supplies divided and taken to basement and Lonie & I went to the church for a talk on the future or artificial intelligence. It was a good little seminar. Home and DJ&G playing in the backyard. J in, he had to go to work and D&G in shortly after. D a little upset and G a little happy, G beat D at wiffle ball, the first time ever... D drove J to work and then went out to dinner with his friends, G resting and L&I ran out to dollar store to get more Corona-virus supplies and the McD's to pick up some food. Home and ate and watched some American Idol with L&G. Soon Chris and Vinnie showed up to watch the Walking Dead. The Dead was good and the guys took off. I got the basement and virus supplies organized. Ran to pick up J from work and he didn't come out forever. Got J home and he messed around for 1.5 hours before I shut him down at 1am.
