Kings win first game

So the Salmon Kings won their first game of the first round of the playoffs. It was a pretty good game. The Kings came out 3-0 and a shut out was imminent when a puck slipped by Shanz to screw up the shutout. But the guys played really good lucky hockey.
I am feeling okay. As usual my chest is sore and my eyes are sore. My eyes are sore because of my diabetic numbers from a few days ago. I am not a fan of insulin. sure it helps keep me alive and protects my organs, but it is also screwing with my vision and making me fatter.
Another game tomorrow.

the post season is here

Well the Salmon Kings are in the playoffs. So I have games on Monday and Tuesday, Then two more games in Stockton with the final game at home. I am bummed that I can't work on the final game if it goes that far but it was a great time while it was happening.

I have been feeling really sick lately. It has a lot to do with me not handling protein very well. At least I think that is what it is. So I am making myself a treat of Banana Bread. I like cooking but Lordy I can make a mess. I also want to make some muffins.

Only a week til we go off for NWMET.

Tuesday Tuesday Tuesday

Today my day was divided into three. First of all was office and paperwork. Yeech. Secondly I spent the time doing photography and working with an older camera. I like the older stuff, it is like not giving up on the past. The evening was capped off with a really nice walk with a friend around Cedar Hill Golf Course.
I haven't been feeling all that well, mostly some breathing issues and the feeling that I get when I try to push it. I will ask Gillian tomorrow.

Not much today so here is a little past

Today was a nice quiet day so I thought I would write about two weeks ago.
Two weeks ago today we were At Sea on the CruiseShip Oosterdam for Holland America cruises. We had sailed out of San Diego, where we spend three terriffic days. Today was a day of just rest. I was up early and walked for about an hour round and round the prominade deck. That far out to see, about 10 miles, you don't see any land, just miles and miles of blue ocean and the waves created by the ship.

So Marla and I had breakfast on our balcony. I doubt if we could ever do a balcony again. Then the rest of our day was devoted to exploring the ship, napping, snacking, and otherwise preparing for the formal dinner. I could definately go on a multi day trans ocean cruise. So thinking about this stuff today was better than the thinking that I did on the real day.

You've got some 'splainin' to do

I opted out for the last while to keep my journal on paper. I was told that there was a better connection to my subconscious if I write rather than type. Truth is that I am a much slower writer by hand than I am by typing. Also, I always have some form of a communication tool nearby be it my iPhone, computer, laptop or even my lame-o psp. So the short of it is I am back to journalling on line.

There are two points of view of journalling by hand vs computer.
http://www.journalingsaves.com/journal-writing-by-hand is very much pro writing and other sites make the same comment. And that is writing is good, computing journalling is good for day to day stuff, but whether you do it one way or other the important exercise is to just do it.

I will catch you up on the other stuff I have been doing for last couple of months in a later post.

Happy New Year - a little late

I haven't been back for a while but Happy New Year. The year has been busy with hockey, school, and all those other things that get in the way. Work has been busy but my mind has been more on my health and considering a future. Sometimes it is nice to just be where you are instead of planning too far ahead.

Christmas Vacation

So far its been a pretty good Christmas. Christmas dinner with adopted family friends, a pot luck with new friends, and some time together for just us. Two Salmon King hockey games and now just Marla, the dog, the cat and me.
I like this just being together stuff.
