Hot dogs for dinner

We had a weather front coming in today so I planned to stay home.  And I did.  I slept in until around 8, got up, did the exercise bike.  I found myself pretty stiff, more than I'd find acceptable.  So I have resolved to only do weights (includes kettlebells) of any sort with a 2 day gap.  Work out, 2 days off (can do cardio) and then work out again.  It is not worth it to go every other day, even though my books say I "could". 

I managed to crank out 30 minutes of intervals, at a lower level than I normally do.  I was tired, stiff, and depressed, I was just glad I got on the damned bike at all.  I did the workout.  I drank a protein shake and took my pills (needed them) and then took a shower. 

The trash came so I put the cans away.  Thank you, guys. 

I managed to get some fried chicken into Ron, I called that a win.  I did not get any accounting work or a bath out of him, though.  He mainly just laid in bed. 

Probably as depressed as I was.  I watched some TV for a while and then took a nap.  Someone knocked on the door while Ron was in the kitchen drinking.  I got up and investigated, and found a cardboard box sitting in the chair on the porch. 

My new Kettlebell had arrived.  I had some trouble bringing it in the house, it is a lot easier when you have the handle.  This was all boxed up. 

I put it in the garage.  I drank a caffeine drink because I had a pretty good headache forming.  I couldn't sleep after that.  I got up and got dressed, decided to open my box.  I got a pair of scissors.  I had a hell of a time peeling through the tape, 2 boxes, layers of foam and bubble wrap.  As I said on my Amazon review "It's as if they got a mandate to ship a 30 pound egg".  It took me a good 10 minutes to get through the layers. 

I finally grabbed it by the handle, finally, and walked it over to my rack, set it down.  It will be a good workout when I get up to it.  I left the review and then did something nice I won't talk about (not for Ron).  Bible - Jesus actually - says if you get credit for good deeds on Earth you don't get it in Heaven. 

I got on the computer for a while.  I decided to make my vitamin order.  I got some tart cherry and MSM, both supposed to be good for joints.  Sometimes my "bad" knee yells at me during a workout, or is a little stiff after.  I want to keep all my joints happy.  Ideally I can get Ron to take some and that will help his problems.  I also got my usual supplements: Wild Yam for my breakthrough bleeding issue - totally solved on the yam, great stuff: Butterbur and Feverfew for migraine prevention, and a nice bar of rose soap that had good reviews. 

I used to make soap so I know the good ingredients.  I can read the list of ingredients and get the good stuff.  This had both Palm Kernel oil and Coconut for good lathering.  That is important to me.  I hate it when I get a bar and it only provides skimpy lather.  Some body parts need a good amount of lather, you know?   One reason I am not a huge fan of castille soap.  It just doesn't make the lather.  I used to make my own bars with both coconut and palm kernel oil so I had a good lather.  Normally I also like a bar to have some shea butter but life isn't perfect, even the $8 bar didn't have that. 

I didn't get free shipping but I was OK with that.  They are running a sale so I got some tasty discounts, and a BOGO on the tart cherry. 

I plan to maybe get some books on Amazon before I eat my dinner.  I was despairing of dinner, couldn't figure out what to eat, until I found some hot dogs in the fridge. 

One of the cats threw up in the computer room but I cleaned it up.  Not sure who it was, they all acted hungry when I went near the cat food storage area. 

I'm going to go hunt up some books.
