Day 24:

Wow 24 days so far.  I am pleasantly surprise I have been able to keep it up this long.  Torture and punishment aren't some of my strong suits.   Day was another successful day even though I didn't wake up early enough to torture Big Fred before work.  I found that I really enjoy using the N.E.R.D. machine on Big Fred for his punishment.  In case you aren't familiar with the N.E.R.D. machine, which can be found at any local "Y", it stands for "Never Ending Running Doohickey".  The name speaks for it self, basically I run Big Fred until he can't take it anymore, until he is screaming for mercy, until I can actually see his shin splints forming stress fractures in his lower legs!

Today I also beat Big Fred at one of his own games.  He had contracted my manager to try and sabotage me.  My manager came to me today with what might be considered my version of kryptonite...  those delicious Girl Scout cookies commonly known as SAMOA's!  The quite possibly are the best cookie ever invented; the sweet cookies covered in caramel and toasted coconut, then drizzled in chocolate.... OMG!  But as quickly as I feel in love with these cookies, I had realized it was a ruse.  So I declined the magnificent offer as if I hadn't caught on, as who knows what could have been in those cookies... arsenic, zyklon B, white phosphorus, or even tetramethylenedisulfotetramine. I'm on to you Big Fred.

So tomorrow is another day, and I am seriously going to try to get my ass up at 4:45am to have enough time to get Big Fred a little more acquainted with senor N.E.R.D.

So long and good night!
