Day 26 Chillen with pizza

OK short blog -- it is 11pm and I have been going since 8 am and my feet and I are TIRED -- three long client visits and a long area wide power outage has wiped us out for the day and I have to start it over at 8 am tomorrow but only half day :)))on three day weekend!!!

About the only fun thing that happend tonight is that during the area wide power outage people in the nieghborhood came OUT of the house cave and we got to talk to them -- IT was a very scary deal for some you could see they were lost with out the POWER to "enjoy" thier life of TV and Computers!!! I invited some neighbors over to sit and TALK on the deck and it was like OMG what a crazy idea -- We had a good time sitting and chatting about LIFE and watching the kids play OUTSIDE!!!! yes they played OLD SCHOOL kick ball in the sun and were really running and playing - they were so sad out of shape they had to take rest but one day id better than nothing... I wish we could turn the neighbor hood power off for a few hours everyday!

Well the chillen pic today is another YUMMY one Pizza is allways a good way to do some chillen :)

Day 25/365 - Chillen -n- fishing

Well today my feet and I set in a all day training on Stage Based strength goal writing... From 9am until 4pm. Now here is the sick part I enjoyed this speaker and the topic - I know I need help but hey why else would I be in the mental health field :) -- However even enjoying a training is not good enough to stop the speaker turning into the teacher off Charlie Brown going WAWAAWWAAWAAWAAA. - LOL -- well after that day I my feet and I had to get out side so after a nice supper made by my wife I took my son and did some super CHILLEN by going fishing... We caught a ton of little blue Gill and had a lot of fun!!

Stay tuned for more chillen tomorrow :)

Day 24/365 Chillen @ Star Bucks

Well My feet and I have to find places to work and do my paper work during the day at times. Today we had to do this which is a FANTASTIC time to chill during the work day. Today we found one of our favorite places Star Bucks - Truthfully we like small coffee shops better but seeing as they are hard to come by Star Bucks works well for us too :) -

Now normally I get a Triple shot Venti - Vanilla Latte but then Star Bucks becomes Five Bucks. So today My feet and I enjoyed (relatively) a Grande Pikes Place coffee :) --- Sitting at Star-Buck for 1.5 hours is an education - Funny things happen when you are chillen you notice more than you do when your stressed such as the following:

The Star-bucks cashier says to a lady "I am sorry we are out of Chi" Lady says "WHAT! I have never ordered anything else at Star-bucks! How can this happen? (with out taking a breath) Well just how far to the next Star Bucks?" Cashier says about 5 miles" they gave her the directions @ she left headed out for HER CHI! What a disappointment for her... LOL ---

Then this guy camein and was SO loud about how he had just started a new busines and had taken clients away form his old boss you think he was on something - WAIT - he was Caffine -- LOL

Stay chilled when you can!!!

Day 23/365 - Chillen with Taco Bell

Today my feet and I started out our day at noon and ended it at 8:45 pm - We had a rather long day trying to help the world one little person at time -- So at the end of the day we had to get something to eat and Taco Bell was the easiest thing to get on the way home -- I knew that I would get yelled at by my wife but a man and his feet have to do what he has to do. LOL --- be chillen till tomorrow :)

Day 22/365 Chillen with a goose

Well today we went to our little get away place up north - It has a pool for the kids and is very well maintained. I have to give the grounds keeper a lot of credit he is very very OCD with the lawn but it looks fantastic and and I got to chill with the goose lawn decor that he has placed wonderfully around the estate - After dinner and the pool we gathered in the Theater Room and Watched a HD version of HOOK - Now I know to some people the long drive north for a day get away may seem a lot of work but I think it is worth it. It takes us all 3 minutes to get to our place up north! Yep my In-Laws house is a short simple drive about 1/2 mile north of us!!! And they have a pool for the kids and well maintained lawns, 50 inch TV with Dish Net-Work HD channels :) -- LOL EVERY THING IS ABOUT PERSPECTIVE!!!

--- It was a nice day to grill some hot dogs and let the kids play Thanks MOM and DAD even though you were not home!!!

Day 21 - Chillen on the Porch

Today my feet and I did a whole lot of nothing cause I have been sick - The day was a wonderful summer day in MI. it was sunny and 70 :) - I could not just sit inside and let the sun just past by so I slipped out and got a few rays for my feet - I mean I can not have the stars of this blog be all white and not tanned :)

Day 20/365 Chillen with Kitty

Ok short blog today - My feet and I have been stuck inside with a cold all day :( - Had to miss my wife art showing in downtown :( and the internet is all goofed up so I could not even watch movies -- SIGH -- Well I did get some sleep and the chance to chill with one of the Kittys SO not all bad :)

Day 19/365 Chillen after BBQ

My feet and I have been fighting a cold today -- so we did not do to much but kept meeting with families anyway of course the meeting were short do to not wanting to infect the families. That is kind part of me LOL -- At the end of the day my feet and I went over to the In-Laws and had some yummy BBQ ribs and like any good BBQ the best thing to do is some CHILLEN :)

Day 18/365 - Chillen on the WII

Sometime my feet and I have to have some fun while we chill - So today we decided to play some Tiger Woods Golf 10 on the Wii -- I like this game because I can play it SOOO much better than I can play real golf - LOL - I hope to get a chillen pic on a real golf course this year but funds are low so it may be a Wii golf season LOL --- I did get to go once this year and got rained out but prior to that I was hitting the ball much better than I normally do and I attribute it to my Wii golf coach :)))

Day 17/365 Basic Chillen

Today my feet and I have one of those days that make chillen hard to accomplish - Stress is the worse Chillen killers in the world - Between trying to deal with very broken families and trying to work on finances to make ends meet - today has not lead up to a chillen type of day -- but since I had cancer I refuse to let time slide by that is owned by stress!! So tonight I followed my advice that I give broken families - find a good laughing movie!! so here are my feet and I watching a Marx Brothers 1930's comedy!! Laughter is the best medicine even when you don't feel like Chillen :)

Day16 - Chillen between clients

My feet and I had a lot of appointments today. After hours of training on lets just say boring stuff - then appointments in worlds that amaze me every time I go into them! So we had some time between clients today and I found a quite park with birds singing and i slipped in some smooth jazz and took a 20 minutes to relax and do some serious CHILLEN -- I hope you can grab some chillen time ecah day :)

WEEK #2 -- Wow when you are chillen time flies - LOL - Today My Feet and I had to work for 2 hours and then several hours of working on the Honey-Do list :) - Then took my son to a bunch of GUY stores - Gander Mt. - 2 sporting good stores and Best Buy :)) It was kinda a walking GUY Chillen afternoon :) Then we swung in to Meijers (like Wal-Mart only not Wal-mart) to get some cold meds for him but I was ready for a sitting chillen and I found some AWESOME patio recliners and thought what a FANTASTIC place to do some "Chillen" :) so here that is what I did for about 5 minutes while son looked at games :)))) life is good when you take time to Chill everyday...

Day 13 - Chillen after Feasting

Well my feet and I had a really easy day -- that is not all ways the case -- We got to do paper work or in this day and age computer typing -- LOL -- This evening my feet took me to dinner with the in-laws and the my family at the Fenton-House for a FEAST in Fenton Mi. If you are hungry then I suggest the family meal deal - FANTASTIC bread sticks, Large Greek or Anti-Pasta salad and Cheese covered four layer lasagna !!! This is a feast for a group of six with left overs!!! :) In the picture today my feat an I found a very nice bench to do some chillen on the way to the car for I added a lot of extra weight for my poor feet to carry to the car -- LOL

Day 12 - Chillen on the Road

My feet and I get out of work and from driving all around the county only to get home to do a quick change and hit the road again! Yep, my wife is very focused on getting a fish tank running and there is a fellow in Westland about 40 mi from us selling 30gal tanks and all the stuff for $35 - This is a very good deal SOOO being the loving husband I am I toss her the keys and say lets go you drive! - So on the way I let my feet do some CHILLEN -- Ok here is the rest of the story - the pic you see is not a Chillen as much it may look like --being 6'4" I have to kinda of FOLD my feet up to get them on the dashboard but for the sake of this blog I was willing to SUFFER for a minute anyway LOL -- Well until my feet and I find a chillen spot tomorrow -- stay chillen --

Day 11 - Chillen at Music lesson

Well after a action packed day of working with troubled families I get home for 45 min's and then I had to take my little girl over to her music lesson - $25 per 30 min session - this is more than I charge for a therapy session -- I wish I could play something I could make more money - LOL So if you are going to get ripped off at least get a free chillen pic :)

Fay 10 - Chillen on the slide

Well today my feet and I completed more work with troubled families :) - by the end of the day we were ready to hang out with my family - so after supper of Chinese food and pizza -- we ran to the store and then took kids to the park. That is when we decided that the best place to do some FUN chillen was on the top of the SLIDE :) -- note to others that would do this - if your 6'3" 300olbs slides are more narrow now then when you were a kid LOL-- but my feet and I still made it all the way down with a smile :) Take time to do some fun chillen everyday!!!

Day 9 - Chillen with a Gnome

Today my feet and I took hard walks :( -- When you work with extremely high needs families sometimes it is like you are a battery that is trying to jump start other cars only thing is by the end of the day you feel drained. Chillen on a day like this takes more than a deck or a comfy chair - It took desperate action - I needed to laugh and smile to start the recharge process.

SO while I was waiting for my wife to water some flowers I could not think of a better thing to do than CHILL with a Garden Gnome! What better way to chill and smile :)

Day 8 - Chillen at the Picnic

Well today my feet and I had a long day -- 9 am church - 1 pm putting up garden fencing and tomato cages - 4pm until 8pm fishing, picnic and grilling hot-dogs - Then we just kicked back with my wife and her feet and watched the lake!

if you need a nice place to do some chillen with your feet I would suggest Seven Lakes state Park in MI it is a family friendly lake, beach and hiking trails - Fishing is good for 4 to 6 inch bluegills and a few small bass - there are at least 6 pair of swans to make the day enjoyable for the whole family!!

Day 7 - 6/11/11

Well today my feet took me to the Flint Art Museum - We got to see some fantastic works of art and spend the day with my wife and her feet :) By the end of the exploring the world of art and history my feet were ready for some chillen :) so we took a rest in the quiet library there :)

If you get a chance you should take your feet to this Art Museum you and they will enjoy the walk and then you too can chill in the Art Museum :)

See you tomorrow ---

Day 6 - 6/10/11

Well nothing to special happened today - but when I got home I could not resist just Chillen my feet up on the edge of the kitchen table -- not over it, not on it - I did get yelled at by my wife - but sometimes you need to chill and you just have to chill!

Day 5 - 6/9/11

I know that bean bags are meant for your butt - but today I thought after a long day of walking for work I thought why not treat my feet to a chance for "chillen" in the ole Bean Bag :)

Day 4 - 6/8/11

One thing I ahve had to learn to live with is that couches are most a good foot short for me - SO - I have over the years learned to just prop up the ole feet and rest away! I wish I had a 7 ft long couch but then I would not have this pic nor could I walk into my living room :)

Day 3 - 6/7/11

WOW today is HOT and there is no way I am going to make my poor feet suffer in this heat by chillen outside :) SO I am chillen in MY chair -- everyone should have their own chair to be chillen with their feet. :)

Day 2 - 6/6/11

This day my feet and I had just got home and needed to take a chill on the back deck :) Nothing like resting in the open air for feet that has served you well :)

Day 1 - 6/5/11

I would like to say I do not have a FOOT FETISH - this thing was mostly a joke that hit the ground "running" so to speak - and now it is standing on my own two FEET --- I know that stinks LOL --- but here is the first picture that started me "chillen" down this path :)
