My stupid alarm clock has this weird feature. If you turn the power off, it stops counting the time like it was an old-school mechanical electric clock. BUT IT&#8217;S A DIGITAL ALARM CLOCK. Fortunately, the power was only out for about half-an-hour yesterday so I wasn&#8217;t that late, plus my mom was yelling at me wondering what I was doing.<\/p>\n<p>One of our family friends passed away today and I think he was only in his 60&#8217;s. I think it was the big CA. R.I.P. Chuck Miyake.<\/p>\n<p>And on the flip side of that, many of my friends are having kids lately. Not only that, but my co-worker&#8217;s expecting twins, and an online buddy went in with his wife for their 11-week ultrasound and, at the moment, they&#8217;re having triplets.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not quite clear on what I&#8217;m doing because today&#8217;s workout at the gym was pretty simple but awful. Row 250 meters and then run around the building. The whole thing only takes under two minutes, but it&#8217;s one of those things where you end up lying on the ground between rounds. We only did it three times, which was enough for me. Afterwards, I was stumbling around and knocking into things, proving to myself that I worked hard enough. In fact, after the last round my stomach and calves started cramping up which was a little more than I wanted from the workout. Fortunately, I feel OK now.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s hope the rest of the week isn&#8217;t as exciting as today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I had a great start to this Monday.
