Well…up and moving before 5 again and that is taking a lot out of me…and I really need to get moving to get two rides in before I head out for the grocery run…didn’t sleep well at all and I’ll be feeling it later…and it would be really cool to be able to take a nap later but I know that’s not going to happen…it’s pretty warm out there so I am going to wash the car between Meijers and Aldis…don’t have a whole lot to get but I am going to buy a tray of chicken breasts and then figure out what I’m going to do with them…maybe I’ll marinate them and then just bake them with some mashed potatoes…who knows? Still have leftovers to use today so I won’t be cooking them til Thurs or Friday…I need to clean some around here since the bathroom needs work and I just might if I can drag myself away from the Olympics…not much to do today…just need to get moving and have more coffee…more later…

Well…ever since I’ve been watching the Olympics, they have made me lazy and are keeping me from getting anything done…but I did get the weight work and two rides in before that so I guess that’s something…going to wash the car tomorrow and do the grocery run so my Wed is open in case we are moving appliances…sure don’t want to but I guess that’s what family does…I really should go to the library, too since I’m down to my last two books and have all of the repeaters to take back…so I really only read 4 books this cycle…but that’s okay, too…up at 5 or so this morning and now I’m sure it’s the new normal since it’s been happening for over a month now…okay, the US women’s team is playing hockey so I’m going to watch that…

Well…damn, up a little after 5 today and I’m just worn out…but I will drag my ass down and get two rides in this morning…this week is going to be compressed a bit with moving appliances Wed so that means I need to do the grocery run tomorrow or I could wait til Thurs…not sure yet…I do know that I need to wash the car tomorrow since it’s going to be warm enough so it won’t freeze it into a block of ice…it’s only 9 degrees right now but the low is going to be in the 20’s tonight and into the 30’s for highs this week…don’t think it snowed overnight so I won’t have to shovel today and I really need to have an off day to heal some…I really should clean the bathroom today and I just might but I want to rest a bit first…this getting old is a lot of work and it needs to be coffee fueled so I’m going to pour the 2nd cup…I did get the letters for my keyboard yesterday and I may get them installed today….not sure about that…more later…

Well…it’s been a kind of easy day today with only doing one ride since I just didn’t feel like doing two…am still healing up from the abuse I did to my body shoveling and pushing cars out of the alley…but my incision is healing up quite well after two days of scar cream application…can barely see it and I was able to run a razor over it…it may get to the point where I can’t even see it…but the stuff I’m applying to my keratosis is turning them bright red and I can feel where it is…not really pain but just itching…that I have to keep up for two weeks, twice a day…going to make bean and meat burritos for dinner with finding a package of burger in the freezer and having ench sauce in the cupboard…and I even have lettuce and tomatoes, too along with Ortega taco sauce so it could end up yummy…I got too many repeaters at the library so I’ll have to go there on Wed after the grocery run…need to wash the car Tues to get the sludge off it…have enough quarters to do it in my change bucket…okay, to time to read and watch more Olympics…

Well…up at 3:41 and then out of bed at 5:07 and that is a little disappointing but maybe I’m getting used to it…sure don’t want to, though…slept okay and I feel okay this morning but one of these days I’m not going to force myself to get going…but not today…have to be on the weights in 15 minutes or so and then on the bike but I wonder if I can only do one ride today? Didn’t get a lot done yesterday but the rides and laundry but I didn’t have to shovel snow so that’s a good thing…and it’s not going to snow today and we are heading toward a little warm spell with temps in the 30’s and I’ll take that…only 3 weeks til March and I can’t wait until this damn winter is over…the incision scar is healing nicely and you can barely see it after using the scar cream…the rest of the lesions haven’t started to hurt yet but it’s only been one day of application and they haven’t started to peel yet…not much to do today…just the Olympics and the normal stuff but I need to get moving right now…more later…

Well…it’s been a good start to my day with getting the weight work in and the first ride done and I’m now finishing up the coffee and watching the Man U match where they are ahead 1-0 with Spurs playing a man down…so it looks like a good day today with Olympics on all day and a new Patricia Cornwell novel to read…just need to go back down for the 2nd ride after the match and I should be done for the day by 10 or so…no snow overnight so I won’t have to shovel and the weather is going to break into the 30’s next week so I can go and wash the car Tuesday…didn’t have enough coffee for today but I’m not going to make more at 8:30am…I guess I could make some pour over to get a couple more cups…okay, I did make more coffee so I’ll have a couple of cups to get through the match…okay…going to stop here and watch the match…

Well…damn, didn’t get out of bed til almost 5:30 this morning and that feels like sleeping in after being up from 3 to 4 this week…and I need to get hauling ass to get the weight work in and a bike ride done before Man U plays at 7:30…pretty damn sore after digging cars out yesterday but it didn’t snow overnight so I won’t have to shovel today…pouring black coffee down to get jump started and only have 8 minutes to get on the weights…after getting the stitches out yesterday, I can barely see the incision scar and all of the swelling is gone and I wonder if it’s the scar ream my brother gave me? Have started to put the medicine on the rest of the lesions on my face and scalp and they haven’t started to hurt yet but that will probably come after I peel some skin off from it…hope it doesn’t hurt…my thumb and left elbow are howling this morning and I think I’ll be taking some ibuprofen later…need to get going…more later…

Well…darn, what a morning…when I was getting ready to leave to get my stitches out, one of my neighbors buried his car in the alley blocking my garage so I had to shovel him out and push his car back out of the alley…then over to get the stitches out and the doctor said I’m healing nicely and can start using the scar gel my brother gave me…then I did get the car back into the garage and started to do my sidewalks when another neighbor buried her car in the alley so I shoveled and pushed her out then shoveled the alley from my garage to the street so I can get out if I need to…and she can get back in…so, I am beat and I’m going to take the rest of the day off and watch some Olympics…

Well…damn, had an alarm set on my phone but I probably shouldn’t worry about not getting up when I woke up at 4:14 and out of bed before 5am…we’ve been under a winter weather advisory for the past couple of days and I am so damn tired of always having some kind of alert on…need to pour coffee down and get on the weight work so I can get a ride in before I head out to get the stitches out of my face…it’s been a week of too much to do and I look forward to getting back here and taking it easy the rest of the day…lake effect snow is setting up and I am just frickin tired of it…but I’m not shoveling the alley so I’ll let the snowies do their thing to get me out of here and back in the garage…..I was so damn sore yesterday from moving stuff that I almost took something for it…but I didn’t but will have to today after I start treating my face to get rid of the pre-cancerous lesions that are all over it…supposed to hurt like crazy when I apply the lotion and it’s just another thing I need to do to to maintain this old body…more later…

Well…finally, my routine has returned after 3 days of disruption and it feels good…got the weight work and rides in, then went out to run an errand to pay my property taxes and water bill, then dropped off my house insurance payment at the post office, then to the library to get more books…I still think it’s so cool that all of those stops are within a few blocks of each other…I am getting used to how the car reacts to the weather with the new tires and now it’s pretty relaxing to get out and get things done…not sure if I’m going to have to shovel the alley but I was able to get out and in without it so I may try that when I get the stitches out tomorrow…going to make a pizza for lunch since I want to use the ham and green pepper before they spoil…and I have 5 of them in the freezer so I guess I should use them to free up some space…so it’s going to be an easy afternoon but it’s snowing now and I may have to go out and shovel later…ick…
