Chloe is bright-eyed and bushy-tailed... and snot-free now.

Day 154: Become an Uncle
Chloe Elizabeth Cox was born at 1:21am this morning and my life is different now in the best possible way because of it. I'm so proud and happy for my brother, Brian, and sister-in-law, Britney, who will be absolutely amazing parents. Chloe has only been my niece for a few hours and she already means everything to me. I can't wait to get started on being Uncle Travis.
Day 153: Use a Pregnancy Wheel
I don't really have a lot of options since I've been in the hospital all day lol It was either this or use Purell 600,000 times in one day... which I also did today. Hopefully tomorrow's first will be to become an uncle!
Day 152: Sauna Suit Workout
I did a P90X3 workout with a sauna suit on, which if you don't know, is supposed to make you sweat extra and lose additional weight quickly if that's what you're looking to do. It's all water weight, but boxers use this routinely to get down to their weight last minute before a fight. I did sweat, that's for sure, but not a ton more than I normally would doing a P90X3 cardio workout. I think maybe because it's freezing in the basement here. Either way, first time in a sauna suit!
Day 151: Buy Baby Chicks for a Hungry Family
It's just $15 and it provides a hungry family in an impoverished country with baby chicks that will eventually grow into full hens that can produce up to 200 eggs a year. They are a constant source of food and nutrition. It's a gift that keeps on giving... eggs.
Day 150: Smoke a Cigar
Celebrating making it 150 days and the Cardinals advancing to the NLCS with my first cigar! It's a Cuban I bought in Key West early on in the summer. It's nice to just sit back and relax. 206 days left!
Day 149: Fruit Ninja
So my roommate, Kendall goes, "wait... what did you do for your first today?!" I say, "ohhhhhhhh crap" I COMPLETELY forgot. Working, having my mind on other things, applying for jobs, watching the Cardinals in the playoffs, trying to figure out my life, I forgot about my first. I'll admit it's not the first time it's happened, but not with less than an hour to go. So, sometimes things like playing Fruit Ninja is my first. It's funny because even funny or small things like this make me realize how much of a metaphor this whole thing is for life in general because sometimes, certain things just take a back seat to others. Some days, 365 Firsts is the most important thing in my life that I'm doing, sometimes it's the least important. Lately, it's been taking a little bit of a backseat while I'm trying to get my life figured out, but hopefully in a few weeks I took some time off and I can do some cool things every day for a few weeks.
