Well…there really wasn’t much going on here today but I did get three rides and got really wet on the outdoor ride since it started raining about a mile and a half out and kept raining the entire ride…and the weird thing was that the rain didn’t show up on radar…so, went out in 40 degree weather and got soaked…took me a couple of hours to warm up after that…it looks like I’ll be able to get outdoors on the bike the next couple of days with the forecast change…didn’t make it to the goal for the month but it looks like I’ll get to 1,890 miles and that is not bad…the damn weather just didn’t cooperate and I couldn’t get many outdoor miles in…if I can get 900 miles a month in from now, I’ll hit the goal the end of September…so I have to get my butt in gear…

Well…damn, this is weird….slept through the night for a second night in a row and that hasn’t happened in years and I really wonder what has changed….yeah, it is a little odd that I’m now worrying about sleeping well when I worried about not sleeping well for years…it’s raining out there and it’s going to keep that up for hours but I may be able to get out around 4 or so…still going to be cold so I’ll be out in full thermasuit…I can’t wait til it gets warmer…it’s heading into April and we should have at least a few days warmer than the 40’s…damn, have to be on the bike in 14 minutes and I’m not sure if I have the energy for it…coffee hasn’t started to work yet and it needs to…had a good day yesterday but didn’t get anything done and today will probably be the same…with spending 3 hours a day on the bike there isn’t much time for anything else…and that will be true for the entire year if I’m going to hit my goal…still have leftovers to eat today but tomorrow will be new food that I haven’t figured out yet…not much to do today…just need to drag my butt downstairs and get going…but it’s more work than I want to do…90 days in a row on the bike…and I’m worn out…more later…

Well..after sleeping all night last night, I had tons of energy today and got three rides in…it was nice to finally get back outdoors and I hope the rain gives me a chance to get outdoors again tomorrow…other than the rides, all I did this afternoon was read and that felt good…talked to my DIL this afternoon when she texted me to say she ate the whole container of turkey soup I sent home with them Sunday and that made me feel good…going to make some potato soup to take to them the day of the service for my brother in a couple of weeks…going to be sore later so I am going to put the heating pad on my back once I wind down for the night in a few minutes…can’t wait to see if I can sleep through two nights in a row…hope so…

Well…damn, it’s a miracle…slept through the whole night and that hasn’t happened in years…I wonder how that is going to feel later on today…had this feeling that it was Friday all day yesterday and looked at the soccer match listings to see what EPL games were on…I guess that’s to be expected when I don’t have anywhere to be anymore…it’s still damn cold out here at 25 degrees and I really can’t wait for it to warm up some…I am going to try to get a ride in outdoors today…will need to air up the tires on the outdoor bike since I haven’t done them in a month and they do leak down over time…I do want to get on the indoor bike here in twenty minutes or so to get the day started…need to figure out meals after the leftovers are gone and I think I’ll make another batch of potato soup to use up the ham so I can start on the freezer…have had onion rings on my mind since I bought them 3 weeks ago but I guess they will wait for a few more days…not going to make the 2K goal on the bike and I’m a little disappointed in that…but the damn weather hasn’t cooperated but that’s Michigan in the spring….not much to do today…15 minutes til I get on the bike…89 days in a row on the bike…not sure if that’s a good thing or not…more later…

Well…had a lot of things to do today but it was still a pretty easy one today…got the first ride in and then went out to run an errand since I was running low on milk and a few other things that I forgot Tuesday…then back here for the second ride and a little cleaning up and a lot of reading this afternoon…it never got over 36 out here today but it is supposed to be over 40 tomorrow so I’ll get outside on the bike if it’s not too windy…so that will be three rides for 3 days and will add 90 miles to the totals but will still be almost 150 miles short of the goal…but I then can start making up for it next week with temps in the upper 40’s until the end of the week when it is going to get into the mid 50’s to around 60 for a few days…I’ll be able to try out my new riding gloves that I really like for 11 bucks…the times of the service for my brother on the 13th have been changed with visitation at 1 and the service at 2pm…some screw up by the funeral home…oh, well…

Well…running a bit late this morning with not getting out of bed til a little after 6…and the moonlight streaming through my bedroom window got me out of bed since it was so bright but I didn’t mind that…have some errands to run this morning after getting the first bike ride in…it’s still only 33 degrees out here and it’s not getting much warmer today and I am really tired of it…should be able to get out on the bike Saturday as the small warm up comes…still feel worn out today and I wonder when I’ll get some energy again…head is still plugged up from allergies and I think I’ll take some flonase for it before I get on the bike…didn’t get much done yesterday but didn’t have to since the place is clean but, as it warms up, yard work will fill the time…need to get out to menards for spring lawn food soon…probably next week…I should go to the library tomorrow to make sure I don’t run out of books to read…not much to do today…just the bike rides and errands but that is going to be enough effort for the day….more later…

Well…it was a pain this morning when my site wasn’t working and it appears it was from an update by comcast…and that set me back for the whole day and I’m just now catching up…got quite a bit done with two rides, laundry, and a haircut…and I made a ham and Swiss sandwich on the sourdough bread my son baked and brought over Sunday…and I did carve out some time to read that I am going to try to continue here in a minute…have felt a little worn out all day today and is probably the weather and the trees that are now blooming…have had a sinus headache all day that I’m going to have to treat later…but right now I’m going to read a bit…

Well…this site was down for a bit and I’m in the middle of a bike ride…will be back in a half hour to add to this…more later…okay, I’m back so let’s get to it…damn, I’m getting tired of the cold…it’s almost April and the high is going to be 35 degrees today…but it does look like we’ll get to the 50’s next week so I’ll be able to get outside on the bike and get caught up on the miles…slept okay last night but I had to slather voltaren and biofreeze on since everything hurt…and it still does so I’ll do that again after the second ride…other than that ride, don’t have much to do today so I’m going to take the afternoon off and read some…the wind just howled out here yesterday and it’s going to start up again this afternoon…so I’ll have to pick up more branches from the yard…I did get some of the grass seed to sprout where the the tree was taken out but not much in the other two spots I seeded….not much to do today…just need to get back on the bike in 15 minutes but I’m going to finish the coffee first….more later…

Well…damn, my eyes are really bad this morning and I think part of it is my flaring allergies…I am just so worn out today that it is going to be a struggle to get on the bike in 14 minutes…slept okay last night with only getting up once at around 3 and then lying there in bed until a little after 6…but that means only about 4 hours of real sleep and I am going to be worn out later…have been on the bike for almost 90 days in a row and I’m feeling it…I’m not as sore as I was fearing after getting three rides in yesterday and riding out in the wind…I did hurt my ribs again and that sucks…but it’s not as bad as before so I think it’s healing some…might do the grocery run this morning since I’m running out of milk and it’s only going to be in the 30’s tomorrow…damn, I want spring to come…don’t have a lot to get at the grocery stores this week and I want to continue cleaning out the freezer…have had onion rings in there for two weeks and haven’t even opened them yet but I still have ham and pizza leftovers that will last the rest of the week…then I’ll make it a project to eat freezer food for a couple of weeks…not much to do today…need to get moving right now but the coffee is not working yet and I have no energy at all…but I’ll suck it up and get on the bike right now…more later…

Well…had a good day today with getting two rides in downstairs and then straight out to do an outdoor one for almost 30 miles today didn’t have any cleaning to do today other than the dishes I used to cook with and two plates from lunch and dinner…so, I had the chance to read a bit and I’m going back to that here in a minute…it did rain some this afternoon and it’s supposed to rain all day tomorrow so I think I do the grocery run so I can drive the car in it and get the residual salt off it that can only be done by driving miles in the rain…might stop at menards tomorrow to get the spring lawn food I need to put on soon… but we’ll see…have to look at the ad first so I’ll do that right now…
