Today was the first day I lifted weights in about a year. My left arm will probably be no good tomorrow. I was going strong until I did the overhead tricep extensions. I had a very good workout. I walked on the treadmill for 35 minutes, then I did 30 minutes of weights.

When I got home, I rushed to feed Ben and get dressed for dinner with Michael's parents. We had a good time. Ben slept through most of dinner. He didn't start to cry until about 7:45 and then it was because he was hungry. We had to rush home so I could feed him and so Michael could catch the game.

We have been feeding him off and on for the past two hours. Every time we put him down in his crib he would cry. His temperature is okay. He seems fed. We changed his diaper. I think he may be crying because he is tired (isn't that odd) or he may still hurt from the inoculations. We are letting him cry for 10 minutes before getting him.

This will be my last full week at home. Next Thursday I go back to work. I'm looking forward to it at the same time I don't want to go back. I'm sure Ben will be fine and I will be fine. I would like to start a consulting company, that way I could set my hours and control when I would need to be at a customer site. Something to think about for 2006.
