Thursday

The other day I got our garage set up as a little boxing gym. I hung a punching bag up in the ceiling and got some carpet for the floor. It turned out pretty ok. I haven't actually used it yet and am a little bit concerned that the bag won't stay up, but we'll see. So every Monday and Wednesday I'm training and instructing at with PAL (Police Activity League) and Santa Maria Boxing Club. It's a place where kids can come and train boxing in the afternoons/evenings. At the moment I have two kids that I'm training and it's a nice change and break from the work environment. Sitting in front of computer screens and boxing are two quite different things all together and I think that having a place like that to go to is very healthy for me. It clears my mind a bit and helps me to refocus on other things than work.

Well, now I think we are going to watch Sharkwater. Now you might say, "well is that really that smart to do seeing that Magnus is probably the most sharkfobic person I know" ...granted...but they are also very fascinating horrific animals.

Hugs to family and friends!

Friday

It's Friday morning and the start of a long weekend. A four day weekend as a matter of fact since I also have Monday off. I have been singing a song about this weekend, there is a lot of "la la la" in it. Today it's 4 July, Independence Day, so there will be barbecue. We are going over to some of our neighbours. Probably Autumn will also read the declaration of independence for us. It's very interesting reading and I can recommend that anyone that has not read it have a go at it. It's short too.

Now it's breakfast time. Talk to you later.
