Thread: Back On-Track Again

Sorry to hear about your knee, Tina. Bad knees really are a bummer. I spent 2 hours at DMV today to get the new toy registered and order my personal plates. We only go to 7 digits, so I couldn't do dad2bike. Some thing close tho. Ordered in DADZSOL for dad's del Sol. I never did go for hot chicken wings tonight. Just got quickly lazy after coming home and folding the laundry. Settled for A couple of Hot Links with some Raw cabbage. (oh and 1 beer) I'm down to 5 left in the stores.
Tomorow I'm going to start back doing my morning cardio with the bike and rowing. No eliptical. My knee feels really good after just a few minutes on the bike.

Kim, don't worry about the driving. That's why I have these toys. FUNNNNNN.
I posted a couple of pics in my gallery.
Thanks to all for stopping by.
Tom.

Awesome license plate! I'm taking off work on Wednesday to watch the Astro's play the first game at Buffalo Wild Wings...woohooo! Think I'm going to go for hot wings (as opposed to Blazing!).

I'm hitting the gym tomorrow night...after work. I haven't hit the gym since last week...feeling awfully lazy tonight! Slow roasted a brisket all day and chopped it up with some Carb Options BBQ. Delicious!

Now this long delay in updating your journal simply isn't allowable! What's going on????

License plates sound pretty cool - how are you making out today?

Well, until today things were pretty quiet. Been baching it. Just found out that DW has been back in town for 2 days. She apparently got enough of a dose of our son to cause her to run away from that situation as well. (Are we seeing a pattern here yet?) She was here at the house for a couple of hours earlier today. I was at work. She tells me that she has an appointment with a shrink today. Trying to work thru her issues. (Yeah, right!) In one of my emails, I told her not to return unless she was willing to bring something to the table. I was tired of all the giving and getting nothing but heartache in return. Hmm. Maybe Kim could help me make that into a Country song.
I have no idea if she is just going to pop in and out. I've asked her not to. I've just got the dogs used to being outside during the day and inside at night. They are eating well and getting on with life. I don't want them to get confused. There's enough of that already going around. I was very surprised how easy it was to get used to single life again. At least the home stuff. Laundry that would take her a week to do, I got done in 1 evening. No kidding! And the house is staying clean. I clean up my messes.
Ahhh, and no ashes and cig butts laying around.

I still haven't returned to exercising yet. My knee is not happy with me. I'm being very stubborn. I may have to break down and let them replace it. NOT high on my list of things I want to inflict upon myself. At least I've only gained 2lbs thru all this. Not bad. Heck I could of gained 3 times that on beer alone had I really let go.
Later...

Dang KIM, your C&W songs are making me TEAR up!!!!

How ya doing Tom???????? Just popping in to see what's new or not new on your homefront. Kim, gonna go turn on the hi-fi now to the C&W station here in KC so I can cry some more Yeah, I am a Texan girl, but don't listen to C&W when I am BLUE.... cause those songs you can ALWAYS relate to! Someone's trampled on someone's else's heart again :(

Wow...the popping in and popping out stuff has got to be tuff. It's funny....I can just imagine David saying the same thing...I put stuff all over...his stuff is all where it's supposed to be....

Ewww...got the ashes and butts...smoking is yick....I can relate to the delight in THAT aspect of your singleness....it's one area in my life I've NEVER EVER comprimised...NEVER smoked a single SINGLE cigarette....ewww! Never even tried it...

Somehow that just doesn't appeal....

*L*... yeppers... sounds like a country song to ME..
i'm with YOU rhonda... sometimes it just isnt a good thing to listen to country... (okay.. its NEVER a good thing to listen to it... but thats another story altogether..*L*)

lord have mercy tom... what a predicament eh? ya dont want to be yanked up and down like a yo yo... but then its hard not to give a marriage EVERY chance thats possible if it means it can WORK..
i feel for ya guy... miserable place to be..

limbo is a fun party game.. but it is NOT a good place for a marriage to be...

you can keep NEVADA and arizona for tooling around with the top down...
moi? i REAAAAAAAALLY loved a road trip a nephew and daughter and my little sister took a few years ago... in a mustang convertible... went from HERE (idaho) to montana... then to wyoming... ended up at YELLOWSTONE park...*L*... and THAT was after a few days of non stop partying... ... we were going to follow him to a town for breakfast... and ended up at yellowstone a day or two later... (no.. i didnt tell moon we were going even... which was a bear when the stupid neon broke down in the middle of no where.... my sister had followed us in the mustang.. and after we dropped him off finally... MY car broke down.. ) was SOOOOOOOOO much fun ... i have never owned a convertible... but they were MADE for idaho summers.. let me tell ya.. *L*

where was i?

oh... anyway... sounds like you are doing well...
keep busy..
and gaining a pound or two is great actually... i have seen friends lose MEGA weight during separations or divorces...

take care of yourself bubba..

So far ate according to plan today. Had 2 italian sausages and 2 HB eggs for Bfast. Lunch was 2 cheeseburger patties w/jalapenos and I take the condiments (LTOMayo&M)and make a small salad out of them. Don't know how good I will be tonight. Got a motorcycle club meeting at a mexican restaurant. I see beer and chips in my future. Well, at least the beer.

On the homefront just hovering in limbo. I hope DW gets some direction chosen soon. Cuz I'm gonna push this over the edge on my side if she doesn't. It has been over 1 week now. I'm getting pretty comfortable being alone again. I was surprised how easily I got there. 1 more week and I call an end to this crap. (Maybe I already have made my decision and just waiting to see if she is doing anything at all)
I have to remind myself that no matter how bad it is for me... It is much harder for others out there. Like in the New Orleans area.
And of course, I did open my eyes today!!!! So it was great day!

Just wanted to stop by and say I really like your attitude dad2bike. You aren't sitting around waiting for DW you are going on with your life. It doesn't seem like there is anything you can do at this point. I really hope that you have fun at your motorcycle club meeting. Don't drink to much beer . My belley was growling looking at your delicious food you ate today.

I hope you enjoyed your beer tonight!

Well, I guess I'm a little more "distracted" than I thought. My club meeting tonight was acctually last Tuesday night. Explains the stupid looks I was getting from the Hostess.

So I stopped on the way home and had the Hot chicken wings I didn't get the other night. No beer though. They didn't have the Beck's lite

Ran into a mutual friend at the bar and was able to talk to somebody in person.

Oh well I'm off to another chatroom.

Sorry you missed your meeting - sounds like you've got a lot on your mind.

What's involved in the motorcycle club?
