What a fiasco

I made some statements last year about how everything had gone. Desiree committing suicide, Angie getting married etc..

Lets take a look at how the Angie thing actually panned out. She called me back in March wanting a new phone because she had lost the one I just got for her. I did not get mad and I calmly told her, she has insurance, go get a new one which she promptly did. Fast forward to now where she is married. She tells me she kept sending me messages, calling my phone and I would never answer. So she figured I was gone then she met this guy and thought Mike’s gone, I need a phone and he said he would get her a phone and give her insurance if she married him, so she did. I’m not exactly sure I completely believe that story but I’ll give her the benefit of the doubt. Well, we are now talking again and I find out she was calling my old phone number that I had turned off over a year ago because of sales calls.

So, this whole time she thought I had left her she was calling and texting the wrong number. She did not try to email, send a message through her son on Facebook. She just assumed I left so getting married to someone seemed like the think to do. She is obviously not the sharpest tack in the box but I do enjoy her company I just need to adjust my temper, stop getting pissed she does not need that right now.

I have also stopped my subscription to Lynda.com, I loved the courses they had but found them more personal on Udemy.com plus it will save me about 35.00/month. I’m thinking of canceling my 75.00/month subscription to KarmaGo WiFi as well. I’ll look at my usage and see what to do. I could just buy a gig at a time for 14.00 and see how that goes.

15 mile ride on Saturday

Friday afternoon I got on the Peloton expecting to do 15 minutes of a 60 minute ride and I ended up doing the entire 60 minutes and it felt wonderful when I was done. I rode the Oregon and Washington Scenic ride. My butt hurts a bit after the ride and then I ended up with some kind intestinal problem, it could be just the flu but spending so much time in the bathroom I was not able to ride much more during the weekend. As soon as I am better, back on the bike. I also feel the weight coming off which makes me want to ride more.

Grand Tetons

My first ride on the Peloton bike was a ride through the Grand Tetons. I rode with the new shoes that arrived from Peloton on Friday. The shoes are unlike anything I have ever worn before with a solid plastic sole the you  attach the cleat to. Absolutely nothing I would where on the ice 🙂 as I would be on my ass in no time. This afternoon I’ll be taking a ride in the pacific northwest.

I also purchased a new Fit Bit, the Fit bit Charge 2. I am hoping the sync feature is more robust than the Charge I wear now. The battery life seems to have been more than doubled to five days rather than two. This one should be here Friday 1/20/2017 inauguration day!

Peloton part duex

My Peloton was to arrive last Thursday but due to weather conditions in MO they had to delay until today (Monday). It was supposed to be here early but as of now, 4:53pm it is not and should be here soon. Wasted an entire day of vacation.

I hope they don’t take too long setting up, I need to go to bed on time.

And the new year starts

What is up for this new year.

Number one on the list has to be lose the weight I gained which is to say get in shape and continue to do so as I was when I was in physical therapy after my heart attach. To do this I order a Peloton spin bike at 2400.00 this is an expensive gift to myself but on that I will enjoy. I enjoyed the stationary bike at therapy and have been complaining none of the weight rooms I have at the apartment or the hotel had them.

Number two will be the Project Management Professional certificate my boss mentioned late last year. If he meant it great I’ll do It as I have signed up for a course at Udemy for the same. If now I’ll still take the Udemy course then practice tests, then the real deal.

Number three is the book… I’m not sure of that direction as it has changed very much over the last year but I’ll set my direction and move forward.

Last but not least is the continued pursuit of Blender modeling, Unity Game creating and C#/Python programing. All of these last items I enjoy very much but have limited time to practice.

I think all of these can be accomplished this year with the first one a must if I want to go back to Seattle next Christmas.
