Well…I probably shouldn’t bitch too much about having to shovel the snow twice today since it was pretty easy other than the two foot tall drift along the entire front walk that took some time…but it is going to snow again tomorrow night and we are supposed to 5-8 inches so I won’t be going out for the paper Sunday morning and that’s okay…I did salt the walks, too since they were icing up some and I had a brand new bag to open….only had one meal again today and should have been able to keep my calories around 600 for the day…only two more weeks of one meal a day…yay! I am sore from shoveling, though, so I may just heat it a bit since I’m just going to be sitting here watching tv…

Well…damn, I’m not sure how I’m running so late this morning but part of it is just lying in bed and staring at the ceiling for a while after I woke up….feeling a bit of depression this morning and want to withdraw from everything for a while so I don’t have to interact at all but I do need to run an errand this morning…and I want to wash the car, too, but the roads are all snow covered so what would be the point? Had an okay day yesterday and got a few things done along with cooking and I need to continue that today but sure don’t feel like it right now….it looks like we had enough snow last night that I’m going to have to shovel again today and that’s okay…not getting anywhere enough exercise and I am counting down the days until I can get back on the bike and work up a good sweat….not too sore today and that is welcome with the  mystery bruises I’ve had the past few days…and I’m still not sure how the hell I got them….not much to do today…just the short errand and then cleaning but that is just a suggestion at this point….might just take the day off and watch tv and veg…who knows?  More later….

Well…it’s been a busy morning with making the huge pork shoulder in the instant pot, having lunch, and then cleaning up not only the dishes, but the entire dining room including the table and floor and that took some time…it is nice get something done and clean some…and I will do the bathroom tomorrow or later this afternoon but I want to go out to shovel the snow here in a minute first…so that’s why I’m running late coming here…I’m hoping that I can come up with a topic as I shovel…if not, it’s back the news to try to find something…more later…

Well…up at 3:04 this morning and then out of bed at 6:59 and I don’t feel too bad this morning…it did snow a bunch overnight and I’ll have to go out to shovel a couple of times today but I’m okay with that…slept okay last night and I go so close to dreaming that I can feel it and I may get to that tonight…at least I have hope that I will but we’ll see….I do have a lot to do today with making a big meal in the instant pot…have a 7 1/2 pound pork shoulder that I’m going to cook with mashed potatoes, gravy, and cauliflower and I get started on that about 10 so I can eat at noon or so…and that gives me time to have coffee and read the news first…the bathroom needs a cleaning and I am really going to try to get at that today…it only takes about an hour and I’m not sure why it’s so hard to just do it…oh, well…I am still sore for some reason and I am still confused how the heck I can hurt myself sleeping…my right forearm has a big bruise on it and it hurts when I rest it and do these…not much to do today…just cooking and cleaning and reading and maybe some soccer but I’m going to let the day unfold as it will…have to get started on lunch at 9:30 or so since I need to brown the pork shoulder and cut up an onion and put the rest of the spices in the pot for the 90 minute cook time….more later…

Well…just finished up doing the snow and it is so cool that it is still light at 6pm now….didn’t get a lot done today but the grocery runs and I got a huge head of Cauliflower for 2.50 and I steamed a bunch of it for dinner with just butter, salt, and pepper and it was just great…I’d buy it all the time if it wasn’t so damn expensive…but I’ll enjoy some with the pork shoulder I’m making tomorrow…probably do mashed potatoes and gravy too, so it will be a one meal day tomorrow….I am going to try to get out for a walk but we’re supposed to get 5 inches more snow tomorrow so it would probably be a good idea to wait a couple of days…I am going to watch the new Spielberg movie “The Fablemans” tonight and will probably start that at 7….but right now I need to make ice and get some more in my water glass….

Well…damn, feel pretty crappy this morning and just so worn out and all I want to do is go back to bed…I think I may do that one of these days…up at 3 or so and then out of bed at 6:23 and I’ve just poured my first cup of coffee at 7 and I do need to ease into it today…it sucks when you get old and and hurt yourself just sleeping…my back hurts…not as bad as it was but it is stiff and I may have to heat it after the grocery run…and we are supposed to get 3 inches of snow today so that will mean some shoveling later…I did get a few things done yesterday but I’m not sure what I’ll do today…going to buy a pork shoulder today and I’m not sure when I’ll cook it…probably tomorrow in the instant pot and I’m getting a head of cauliflower since I like it and it’s on sale….I do have to remember to get some veggie broth to cook the shoulder in this morning…damn, I wish the coffee would work faster….not much to do today…just need to do the grocery run and then veg out for a bit…Man U plays this afternoon and I need to get anything done I have to do before they play….man, I feel old today…but I’ll live through it…maybe…more later…

Well…had another good day today and got a few things done so that was cool…marinated some ribs, gave myself a haircut, did the laundry and watched some soccer and of course did the dishes…and I found a pretty good Korean movie called Jung_E over on netflix that I liked so I may try that again tonight since there is nothing new on plex to watch…lots of action science fiction about robots and AI…and I even didn’t have much pain today and I’ll take any day of little pain…my teeth didn’t even hurt at all today and that is just weird…still need to make ice and clean my teeth one more time so I probably should get going….

Well…damn, woke up this morning feeling so cold that I’m sitting here with the heating pad on me just to get warm…tossed and turned so much last night that the covers were on the floor when I woke up at 5:04…didn’t get out of bed til 6:32 but I sure don’t feel like I slept at all and that is getting really old…it was an okay day yesterday and I think I shorted out my guilt machine since I was able to just sit here and watch three movies in a row and not do much of anything else….I wonder if I can do that again today? Probably should look out on emby to see if there are any movies going on right now that could start that pattern again? I forgot to marinate the ribs I took out of the freezer yesterday so I need to get on that in a few minutes so I can cook them for lunch…with how cold I feel, I’m not going to grill them but just put them in the oven…just don’t want to stand around outside in the cold today…not much to do today…just going to sit here for a bit and have more coffee as I try to get motivated to clean the bathroom….it needs it but it’s the last thing I want to do right now….more later…

Well…I’ve finally done it…I reached peak veg today with doing absolutely nothing but watch old movies and fart around on the internet…darn, nope I put the trash out…does that count? Oh, well…I guess I can try again tomorrow…but I won’t since I need to cook tomorrow and today was an all leftover today…I do need to give myself a haircut tomorrow and I want to get another walk in since I really didn’t get too sore from the first time and I do need to get myself in shape…and I need to do laundry with running out of clean clothes after the shower tomorrow morning…I finally have a new show with a new “The Last of Us” showing up today and I’ll pair that up with a couple “That 90’s Show” and then figure out what I want to watch after that…I did watch “The Banshees of Inisherin” last night and I just never got the point of it…it got rave reviews and I can’t figure that out…no more later….

Well…up at 3:04 and then out of bed at 5:55 and I know I’m going to feel that later….slept okay and got to the edge of dreams last night but still just the edge and that is a little frustrating….would just love to have an entertaining dream night one more time…watched “The Banshees of Inisherin” last night and I am still trying to figure out what the heck it was about…change? I did find out one thing this morning…Joe Walsh’s middle name is Fidler…must be a family name of some sort….didn’t get much done yesterday but cook and I have zero motivation to do much more today….I’m going to drag myself to clean the bathroom today but not until much more coffee….it’s a leftover day today so I don’t have to cook but I do need to plan for meals for the rest of the week…have been sort of successful limiting my calories since I’ve been off the bike and haven’t gained as much weight as I expected and I hope I can keep it up for two more weeks…I do need to get out for another walk today but I don’t want to think about that right now…not much to do today…just going to wing it for a bit and have more coffee and head over to Mastodon for a post or two….damn, I’m worn out….more later…
