Well…strange…when I woke up today I was sure it was Saturday…but it’s not…up at 4:04 and then out of bed at 6:10 and that is too damn early…and I’m feeling it right now with just pouring the first cup of coffee…it looks like it rained almost all night last night but it will be stopping soon…now, do I try to ride outdoors today or just stay in? Still don’t want to be cold and there is a winter weather advisory on for all day tomorrow and into Sunday with up to 4 inches of snow with the really cold air coming in tomorrow…I mean we’re halfway through March and the high is going to be 26? Didn’t get a lot done yesterday but I do want to clean the freezer today but I’m not motivated to do anything right now….I guess I could get on the bike here soon but there is F1 practice on in a bit and I want to see that…and there is a 1,000 mile race on from Sebring that starts around 11 or so and that will be on all day….so, I’m not sure what I’m going to do….have to figure out two meals today and I know one of them is going to be the other batch of catfish and I think I’m going to make some nachos for the other one …I did buy tomatoes and they need to be used and I have shredded cheese that is going to go bad if I don’t use it soon….not much to do today…man, I just can’t get started…it is only 7 so I guess I can sit here and have another cup of coffee for a few minutes anyway…then drag my butt downstairs for the first ride….more later….

Well…it’s been a pretty good day out here and it has been raining for a couple of hours now and I hope it cleans up the streets some…didn’t get a lot done today other than the two bike rides and cooking but I need to clean the freezer tomorrow and check the fluids in the car…another busy day…ha, ha…I did have two Northern flickers on the feeder today at the same time and one of them was a female so maybe I’ll have a nesting pair of those…I didn’t know that these birds are woodpeckers and I found that out when I looked for how to tell the male from females….pretty cool to look over and see two of those big birds there when I never saw one of those in my life until I moved out here….not sure what is going on with the dentists out here but my regular one sent me a text for me to schedule a cleaning and root canal and they said they don’t have any appointments available til the middle of July…and my periodontist is out almost that far…man, these guys have a license to print money….okay, on to finishing up a few things and then tv and a cocktail or two…oh, I got up to 315 followers on Mastodon today..in the more than ten years on twitter, I had 12…

Well…man, having a hard time getting going today but I guess that’s from not getting to coffee until 7:24 after getting out of bed at 6:44…but I was up at 5:04…again,…and I can’t figure it out…oh, well…it looks like it’s going to rain this afternoon and into tomorrow then the temp is going to plunge with the high only in the 20’s Sat and I am so tired of the cold…I guess I’ll just write off March completely since there is no spring in the forecast….need to get on the bike by nine so I can get two rides in before noon…going to have catfish for lunch after getting a pound of the nuggets in some seasoning yesterday but I’m not sure what I’m going to have with it…probably some oven baked fries so it will be a bit like fish and chips….I do have a chicken leg quarter that needs to be used today but that will be later…only had some pasta and bean dip yesterday so I think I’ll be pretty sluggish on the bike this morning….feel that way right now and I could use the day off the bike but I won’t take it..need to lose another 10 pounds or so and that means I need to sweat it out….not much to do today…Man U plays this afternoon and then it’s new show night for entertainment….Picard and the Mandolorian will make it interesting  and I’m looking forward to that….more later…

Well..just couldn’t come up with a clever title for this one so you get Wednesday….it’s been a good day so far with getting the grocery runs done early and got everything I had on the list…even stopped at DD and got a 7 pound spiral sliced ham for 7 bucks but it’s frozen so it will have to thaw until Saturday…have plenty of other food to use up before that so no big deal…when I got back here around 9:30, I got right on the bike for the first ride, and after about a 10 minute break, I got right back on to do the second ride…finishing up around noon or so…then lunch where I made way too much pasta so I only had half of it and I think it will make another entire meal….don’t have a lot to do today but I do want to have all of it done before Liverpool plays at 4…only have to do the dishes and make some seasoning for the catfish I took out of the freezer….and do my teeth…that’s first…

Well…slept all the way through til 6:40 this morning but don’t feel like I slept at all…I guess I’m getting old…the coffee needs to work right now if I’m going to get out for the grocery run today…need to hit three stores today with DD having spiral sliced ham on sale for 99 cents a pound…it’s only 19 degrees out there right now and spring is so far away that I can’t see it…okay…just looked at the weather and it is only 17 degrees out there and I’m depressed…..I know there is nothing I can do about the weather but damn, 17 degrees half way through March? Oh. well…didn’t get anything done yesterday but the rides and I’m only going to add in the grocery runs today and that is enough for one day….only had one meal yesterday and I think I’m feeling that this morning…I mean a chicken leg and some bean dip is not enough with doing two rides…..I wonder if I could just relax a bit for one day? Nope….that’s just not me…I did thaw some catfish so I’ll have that to eat today along with the leftover chicken leg…one of these days I’m going to eat whatever I want since I can with my mouth not hurting…should I try ice cream? Haven’t been able to eat that for at least 10 years and I might just try….not much to do today…just the grocery runs and then back here to get on the bike…and I should have that done by noon or so and then soccer this afternoon…man, I feel old today….more later…

Well…even though I spent money on drain cleaning, it was still a pretty good day today…started out getting the first ride in, then watched the drain guy work and got to see that was drain really is clean all the way out to the street now on his “drain tv” then I mopped the floor around the clean out port, then back on the bike for ride two…then I made some chicken for lunch and did the laundry…then my driver called and I set up the transportation for the next surgery on July 10th…an I made some bean dip for the ultimate test of my healing by eating tortilla chips with it and had no pain at all and you don’t know how happy that makes me…so now I’ll be able to eat anything I want until July 10th..or until I set up the root canal with my other dentist….oh and “Cocaine Bear” showed up on plex today and it might just be the comedy I need right now…or I may save it for Friday night…we’ll see…

Well…the drain guy came this morning and I got to see the “drain tv” and see that it is now clear all the way out to the street…but that’s not what this one is about…I just got done with my first meal in many, many years with no pain at all…and I ate on the side that was stitched up just two weeks ago…if you’ve ever had chronic pain in the mouth you know what a big deal that is…to not have to think when you’re eating? So I have hope that once this whole process is over, I will not have to deal with pain anymore…and that is pretty cool…5 grand cool but worth it…now I need to put the laundry in the dryer…oh, and look for a political topic but Kos is down today and that’s where I get my topics most of the time…darn…

Well…happy Pi day! you get it 3/14? Okay, that’s a little obscure but still fun….up at 5:04 this morning and then out of bed at 6:41 and I’m feeling a little worn out after the day I had yesterday…only one meal after the dental appointment but I have everything scheduled to finish up the infection in my mouth but not til July 10th…so I won’t be able to have ice cream on my birthday…but, I was able to eat almost normally yesterday for the first time in years so I’ll take that progress….the healing is on track but I do need to have a root canal done on a tooth on that side to save it and I’ll get that scheduled later this week….the drain backed up again yesterday so I’m having a company come out to clean it today….just don’t want to screw with it anymore and I can afford the couple of hundred bucks to have it done…so, I have 17 days before the biopsy and I am going to enjoy them since I can eat without pain again…going to make chicken today but I’m not sure what the second meal will be…probably pasta since I opened a jar of pasta sauce yesterday and will need to use it…only did one ride yesterday but want to get two in today before they come to do the drain at around noon…and then the rest of the day is open and I am just going to wing it and see what happens….more later…

Well…damn, it’s snowing out there and I have to go out in it later for my periodontist appointment and I’m not looking forward to it…will need to shovel the snow this morning since we got about 3 inches overnight and it’s supposed to continue until I leave for it….will have a problem getting out of here to the main roads but should be able to do it if it’s not icy……had an okay day yesterday and even got one ride in and I’m going to get on the bike here by 9 which is really 8 since I’m still doing the conversion in my head after the time change…up around 5 which is really 4 and then out of bed at 7:30 which is 6:30…okay, I’m tired of doing conversions so I won’t anymore…I am really looking forward to getting out of bed and not being cold as I have been for the past 6 months….it’s the middle of March and it’s 28 degrees out there and I am so tired of the cold….didn’t get a lot done yesterday and today will be much the same with the appointment….just having a hard time getting going this morning and part of that is not eating enough yesterday and I’ll probably do that again today since they are going to hurt my gums and probably my jaw so I won’t really feel like eating later…more later…

Well…decided to not go out and get the paper this morning….just didn’t want to go out in the cold and snow….and the only thing I buy it for is the ads and the local paper brought those the other day…darn, there is another weather alert on the lower banner this morning…and I am getting so sick of this crap…we’re halfway through the month and it is still like frickin February….I know I get impatient for the weather to change but it’s time to have rain instead of snow…had an okay day yesterday but didn’t get much done and today will be the same….need to get a ride in before Man U plays at 10…don’t think I can get two rides in before then…or should I take the day off? Nope…the time change is making me late on the bike today and I have to remember that….so probably one ride today….I do have to figure out the second meal today…still have pork chops for one of them but maybe pasta for the second? Or the chicken nuggets I got a couple of weeks back? Need to look in the freezer to see what’s there….no more pork for a while….think I need to change up my diet a bit….not much to do today…just need more coffee right now and to get on the bike in 15 minutes or so….pretty sore this morning and I wonder why? Oh, well….more later…
