Good riddance 2020
Posted 4 years agoYou were a cursed dumpster fire of a year, and will not be missed.
A brief rundown of my 2020:
January: Chemotherapy gave my mom strictures in her esophagus, which also delayed finishing her treatment. She had to eat slowly and puree almost everything.
February: The pandemic starts to hit, and my mom finishes chemo, but getting her esophagus dilated is delayed to the pandemic. I also managed to snag a coffee table when a local furniture chain goes out of business.
March: I start working from home and my gym shuts down due to the lockdown. My mom's test results say she's cancer free.
April: I miss a trip to the dentist due to the lockdown.
June: My mom's cancer comes back, and she's given a new chemo drug that's nicknamed the red devil. My grandfather spends a few days in the hospital with pneumonia.
July: My cat has a bad reaction to the anesthesia while having his teeth cleaned. He survived, but the medical care wasn't cheap. It was worth every penny though.
August: My mom's cancer becomes terminal, and she dies in the middle of the month. I finally get my trip to the dentist, and learn that I have my first cavity since before I was a teenager.
September: My paternal grandfather is back in the hospital, and dies eight days short of being a hundred years old. While I'm away getting the aforementioned cavity filled, work has an emergency near the end of the client's fiscal year.
October: More work stuff with a hard deadline, and a few surprises that took some long, hard hours to sort out. My gym also reopens, and I feel like I'm starting over again.
November: Thanksgiving is canceled due to the pandemic.
December: I find out that my cat is essentially guaranteed to develop kidney disease in the next two years. Christmas is canceled due to the pandemic and my grandfather dying.

Yes, I know it took way too long to post this
Posted 13 years agoI had some computer problems, which still aren't fully resolved, but finally got things working well enough to finally post some pictures from the bodybuilding show I was in just before thanksgiving.

It was a small show, so there weren't many competitors, but I did manage to get second in my weight class.

Oh yeah, this place lets people post journal entries
Posted 13 years agoSadly, I won't be at MFF. Instead, I'll be in a bodybuilding show in Ohio this Saturday.
Other than my usual trouble with the posing routine, I feel ready, and I think my music selection will help mask any trouble with my routine in the evening show. Using Weird Al's "White & Nerdy" means that anything that goes wrong fits since nobody expects nerds to be coordinated, or even fit.
