Today was all about going out with friends for drinks and a curry but first I had to endure the clown show that is my work!
Shit day great night
After a day of frustration at work I forced myself to get into the shed and just do something, and I loved it, it was just nice to be out there.
I removed 700mm off the temporary bench I had salvaged from the garage we knocked down to build Jamie’s office, and wow what an eye opener how much more space it created. It was a revelation that I may not need such a large bench yet with a little creativity, can have just as much if I design and build cleverly.
The other thing that was so apparent was how much stuff I had to move just to carry out the bench reduction whether it was to find a tool or create enough space to just do the job.
Looking forward to maybe having a neat shop with everything to hand.
Reagan and Lincoln have been rehearsing their church nativity for weeks and were desperate for me to be there to watch them both but I could not promise that because I would be in the Lakes.
When I mentioned to the lads this morning that I would like to get home and they were all over it when I told them why. I arrived at church just as Reagan came out to do her first dance with her freinds so although I wasn’t sat down I’d made it!
What a privilege to be there to watch all children, but especially my own, they were all brilliant and it was a joy to see!
A Phoenix 5 walk and weekend away is always something I look forward to but today was a winter walk with rain forecast all day. So when we arrived at the start of the walk and the rain was lashing against the windscreen, Chris Graham and I decided were not even going to get of the car instead choosing to drive to Barrow and back to Ulverston to waste sometime until the pubs opened.
The rest of the day was spent with mates in various pubs around the town drinking watching football and getting wet walking between them but thankfully we found a good one and that’s where we remained until we’d had enough.
Kebab and bedtime to watch match of the day.
Today was all about preparing to go to the Lake District with me mates but looking at the forecast it was not going to be pleasant. We always get wet when we go walking but 9 December is a certainty
I spent a little time in me shed trying to tidy my bench area which needs to be done if I am going to make anything in there this Winter
It was disappointing to end last night the way it did, but I have always found it difficult to work through those types of emotions in that type of situation. I am amped up to play the game focused on playing well and to have to reverse that immediately I find that almost impossible when a decision goes against me.
It would be something over the years I would have liked to be able to do better because it’s got me in to a lot of trouble, so last night’s decision to just call it a night and go home was the best for everyone especially me!
Last night I walked out on my team having been called for deliberately fouling [allegedly] and my frame was given to my opponent which upset me but there was nothing I could do about it.
Here is the apology I felt I owed my team.
Just want to apologise for last night, I was upset, embarrassed and angry, couple all that with alcohol and I thought it best just to go home and drink on my own.
Was the decision correct? Probably. Do I have to agree with it? No. Am I allowed to feel the way I felt? Yes. I let you all down and I am sorry!
Not sure why I have become scared to use my shed since buying new tools, but I have done nothing in there since? Tonight I moved some stuff and setup the pocket hole jig up and it was amazing…
No idea why I have stopped being able to do anything in there…?
I am going to make something salable before Christmas not hard you just have to grow a pair?
I have a sharpening stone in my shed that if I spend a little time on I can sharpen any blade to shave the hairs off your arm sharpness, but it does come close to being blanked by Reagan that cut like the sharpest knife.
A 13 year old child does not need a sleep aid every night and it concerned me last night when she asked her mom if she could have a melatonin tablet to help her sleep and she said yes go get one and off she trotted.
Tonight both me and Mommy were sat there when Reagan came down and asked for another sleep aid to which I said you don’t need a tablet to sleep, which was not the answer she wanted which turned her mood straight away because she didn’t get her way. She brooded in the kitchen for a minute then walked past us both heading upstairs and said “Night mom love you!”
That hurt….
A nice day spent with Jamie laying in bed then Christmas shopping in Northwich while Reagan and Lincoln were at church rehearsing next weeks nativity production was perfect until the Broncos lost a really close game to the Texans.
It was a 6pm kick off and annoyingly I had to subscribe to NowTV to watch it live even though I’d already paid DAZN for the game, but because it was a featured game in the UK on Sky I had to pay again. Watching sports live is where the excitement is and why I am so adamant that I watch every Broncos game whatever time they play.
Tonights game was so representative of the season so far, a really slow start puts us into such a big hole that getting out of it would be so hard. Unbelievably we got back into the game and had 4 chances to win it at the death but the third chance was intercepted to end the game, but throughout the last two and a half minutes of play I could feel my heart bursting out of my chest it was sooo exciting at the end.
I looked at my fitbit heart rate monitor over the course of the game, my resting heart rate is always around 63bpm but during the last plays of the game, it recorded 123bpm which in my opinion is definitely why watching live is a must!
Broncos are 6 – 6 #GoBroncos #KeeptheFaith
