Man shot during alleged motel robbery

Daily Republic - Thursday January 29, 2009

FAIRFIELD

An unidentified man was airlifted to John Muir Hospital with a gunshot wound and three suspects were arrested Wednesday night after an alleged robbery gone awry, said Fairfield Police Det. Cleo Mayoral.

The victim was in his room at Motel 6 when a male, and possibly a female suspect, arrived on foot, Mayoral said.  It is unknown at this time why or how the suspect or suspects initially entered the victim's room or the female's exact role in the incident.  The victim was allegedly robbed of some personal belongings then shot in the back.  His injuries are considered life threatening, Mayoral said.

After a foot chase that began at Raley's on Travis Boulevard and ended near Peet's Coffee & Tea on Holiday Lane, a male suspect was arrested.  The female suspect, along with another female who Mayoral said was the driver of a car possibly connected to the incident, was found near Kinder's on Oliver Road a short time later.

The police were still searching Wednesday night for the gun used in the incident.

Winter Camp

Today I got back from Winter Camp at Silver Spur.  We had a great time with 21 of our church's youth.  It was a great time.   Perhaps I will write more later, but I'm tired.

Psalm 18:1-3

I love you Lord; you are my strength.  The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my savior; my God is my rock, in whom I find protection.  He is my shield, the strength of my salvation, and my stronghold.  I will call on the Lord, who is worthy of praise, for he saves me from my enemies.

... and yes, I did go to the gym today!

Round Table is YUMMY (and I went to the gym)

So my mom is here and she LOVES Round Table.  She doesn't have Round Table in Colorado so every time she is here we have to go out to Round Table.  That was tonight.  I think I undid all of my hard work at the gym this morning.  I decided to up my workout and instead of doing 2 miles I am going to do 2.5.  So that's what I did.  Anyway we ordered an extra large pepperoni and olive and 12 cinnamon twists.  A few minutes later the gal came out with 12 regular garlic twists.  We were like "Um we ordered the cinnamon twists".  They read the tag wrong so they went back to make the cinnamon twists and since the garlic twists were already done they gave them to us for free.  Nothing tastes better then free food and let me tell you, they were good.  So we ate about half of the garlic twists and 3/4 of the pizza and everyone except me had one cinnamon twists.  I know what I'm having for lunch tomorrow!

My mom is here! (and I went to the gym)

So my mom got here today.  She flew to California for Dede's memorial.  She's staying with me until Tuesday morning.  I probably won't go back to the gym until then.   I did good today.  Luckily I got there right around 9 and Regis and Kelly was in.  That guaranteed 2 miles on the elliptical.  And I went upstairs.

And Again...

I went back to the gym this afternoon.  I'm lovin it (as they say).  I was there and my personal trainer (you get free sessions when you sign up) saw me.  She called me when I got home and set me up for an appointment next wednesday.  I know she's going to be disappointed that I've gained weight since our last session (she's been on maternity leave), but I hope to explain to her about the medication.  Speaking of medication I am taking the first full dose of my Seroquel tonight.  We'll see how that goes...

Still Rolling...

3rd day at the gym.  I didn't do as good today.  Only one mile and a few of the machines.   But I went!

On a roll...

Went to the gym again today.  Woo Whoo...

Went to the gym

I went to the gym today.  All by myself.  Without Adam.  I did 2 miles on the elliptical and did a couple of the weight machines.  Yeah me!

Went to the gym yet again

So I decided not to take my Seroquel last night because I was afraid I wouldn't be able to get up this morning and I had a big day.   The second and third graders when on a field trip to the college to see Seussical the Musical.  I was  a chaperone.  Anyway after traipsing around the college campus half the day.  I came home and went to the gym.  I was tired and my knee hurt, but I went 2 miles on the elliptical.

Seroquel

My doctor prescribed a new medication for me.  It made me out of it today, but the doctor said that should go away after a few days.  This is from the P.I. sheet:

"This medication is used with or without other medications to treat certain mental/mood conditions (e.g. bipolar disorder, schizophrenia).  Quetiapine is known as an anti-psychotic drug (atypical type).  It works by helping to restore the balance of certain natural chemicals (neurotransmitters) in the brain.  This medication can decrease hallucinations and improve your concentration.  It helps you to think more clearly and positively about yourself, feel less nervous, and take a more active part in everyday life.  Quetiapine can help prevent severe mood swings or decrease how often mood swings occur."

Went to the gym

I went back to the gym today.  I'm quite proud of myself.  I did a 10 minute warm up on the elliptical and then headed upstairs to hit the weights.  I worked out on the weight machines for a while and then wrapped things up with a 30 minute walk on the treadmill.

Dede

I made a photo collage for my Dede's memorial.  You can't really see it good from here, but I think it looks pretty good.  I still have to add a few pictures that I need to get from my cousin.  I also had a picture of my Nana and Dede blown up to 16 x 20 to have at the memorial. 

Went to the gym

So I went to the gym.  I spend 35 minutes on the elliptical and even though it's low impact my knee is killing me.  Now I'm going to go choke down 2 horse sized Glucosamine pills and see how I do.  Ugh...

Going to the Gym

So I am going to the gym today.  I am trying to lose some weight before my husband and I go on our next cruise.  We'll see how it goes. 

OUCH!

I was hand washing my krispy treat dish today (a 13 x 9 inch pyrex) and it slipped out of my hands and SHATTERED in the sink!  I mean SHATTERED!  It cut me on my arm in a few places.  What a mess.  A bunch of pieces of glass went down into the garbage disposal.  I'm not sure what to do about that.  Any ideas???

UPDATE: I scooped out all of the big pieces from the disposal with only minimal damage to my hand.  I let the sink dry out for a couple of hours and then I got my Dyson (vacuum) and stuck the handle down the disposal.  It worked and I got all the pieces out.  It's working fine now.  Hooray for Dyson!

Rice Krispy Treats

Krispy treats are yummy.  That's all... go about your business...
