Well…up and out of bed a little out of 4 this morning and that really sucks because that didn’t make me tired enough to take a nap this afternoon…when it got light and I had the bike rides in…I took a look and the roads were okay so I ran an errand out to the library for more books and, while I was out, I made a run out to Meijers and Aldis to get the rest of the ingredients for masala and bagels and CC…and now I don’t have to go anywhere until next Monday…with all the rain we got…7th street has a foot of water over it that I had to drive through to get out of here…I was going to call the city but the water is keeping the traffic away and I don’t have to listen to the thumpy assed cars at all today…thinking of making some potato soup but it can wait til tomorrow…back to reading…

Well…up at 4:04 this morning and I just started pouring the coyfee down and I hope it works soon…damn, I’m getting old…feel like crap and I know I need to do more today…will get on the weight work in a few minutes and get two rides in today…we’re getting freezing rain and other crappy weather for the next two days so I’ll be hibernating while it passes…but I’m out of books so I may venture out later this morning and go to Meijers to get what I need for masala…but I do have ingredients for bean burritos or pasta so I do have food…just not what I want to eat…for some reason I’m sore today and I can’t figure out why but it could be from sleeping wrong but how do you avoid that? Going to get some cleaning done today after my body gets started but it’s not happening right now…damn, it’s only 5am and I need to drag my butt into the day…more later…

Well…after today, I’m up to 4 days in a row of taking it easy but there won’t be a 5th…need to get off my butt and get things done around here…and now we are under a winter weather advisory for all day tomorrow and Tuesday…ick….only did a ride today since my left elbow is killing me and it just keeps getting aggravated when I do the weight work…but I’ll be back to two rides and weights tomorrow…I’ll probably finish up the last book today but I’m not going out in the snow to get more…so I’ll have two days to clean all day…before I do the grocery run Wed and then I can hit the library for more…okay, need to make some food since I only had a half a chicken breast, a potato and some cabbage all day….

Well…damn, this is not a pattern I want to continue…up at 4:14 and then out of bed at 5:27 but no dreams this morning and that kinda sucks…going to be another grind day today and I need to get going fast to get everything done before Man U plays at 10…didn’t get a lot done yesterday but I’ll be getting through the last book today and that will leave me two days to get this place cleaned up before I get to the library for more books Wed…not looking forward to another spring storm that is coming and the wind has already started and I sure hope it doesn’t get as loud as it was Friday…going to rain today before the snow comes in Monday and I am just going to hunker down and survive it…there are two races on today to go with Man U but I’m not sure when I’ll see the F1 race since the replay starts at 8 and I’ll be down on the bike by then…I do need to figure out meals today to use up the green pepper I have in the fridge so maybe and omelet or a pizza? Who knows? More later…

Well…I really think I’m turning into a slug after taking the 3rd day in a row easy…not sure why that’s happening but I know it’s not sustainable but I’m on the last book and won’t be able to get til Wed for more so I’ll have a couple of days to actually get some work done around here…it was so damn nice to not have the wind howling up here and I’m glad we’ve had some warmer days or my yard would be filled with broken branches…I was thinking about how nice it is to have a car that starts after sitting a week without disconnecting the battery…will probably be able to ride outside later next week with it getting to almost 50…not sure what I’m going to watch tonight…for some reason I have three shows that I just started on Plex and then abandoned…weird…okay, need to get ready for some tv after the race ends…

Well…up and out of bed at 5:11 today but woke up at 4:16 and that is just way too early…damn, it was so loud with the wind blowing hard for 12 hours yesterday…sounded like sitting next to a 747 at full throttle all day and it just wore me out sitting here thinking that another tree was going to take my power line out again…the next few days are going to be trying with 5-8 inches of snow starting Sunday night and damn cold that I am just tired of…but I remember when I was 14 or 15 when we had a foot of snow in April…this is Michigan but damn, give us a break, okay….I forgot ingredients for the masala so I put the chicken in the freezer and will wait til next week to make it…so I need to figure out what to make…probably some bean burritos and maybe a pizza to use up the green pepper…not much to do today…need to get off my butt and get going since it’s 6am and I have things to do…more later…

Well…crap, the wind has been blowing like crazy up here today and just a little earlier the gusts were close to 70…and now we have a winter storm coming for Sunday night through Tuesday with 5-8 inches of snow and a high Tuesday of only 22…and this one is one of those named storms so it could be bad…this has to be the last snow of the year or I’m just going lie on the couch and curl up into a ball…didn’t do a lot today but exercise and read and I did get to the first 1,000 miles for the year…but now all I’m going to do is start another book and read for the rest of the afternoon….and figure out what I want for dinner after skipping the bagel today…time to read…

Well…up at 4:03 this morning but I had enough of no sleep so I laid back down til 5:14 and even had a dream in that hour that surprised the heck out of me since I never dream anymore…we have another high wind warning on and that’s to be expected with the severe change in temp that’s coming Sunday with the high only 25…so I guess it’s hunker down time and I don’t have to go anywhere until next Wed…the cold weather has moved back to Tuesday but then it’s colder at 21 degrees and we won’t see 50 again for two weeks and that just sucks…I am so damn tired of the cold..and I really need to eat more after only having cabbage and a small potato for both meals yesterday and that is about 700 cals for the day and just might be why I feel so damn worn out today…I did get some cleaning done in the kitchen yesterday but I need to keep that up today…it I do two rides today, I’ll hit 1,000 miles for the year so far so I guess that’s a goal for the day…but right now I just want to have more coffee and ease into the day….more later…

Well…after the busy day yesterday with two hours on the chat with Dell to fix the track pad on the laptop, it feels good to be back to the normal routine…have already gotten an hour in reading this morning and I’ll be going back to that after I do a couple of these…don’t even have to cook today with the leftover chicken, cabbage, and potatoes that will last until the weekend so I won’t make masala til Sunday…and it’s not going to get over 40 here so no outside ride today and won’t be back out there until late next week…okay, need to look for the 2nd topic in politics to make up for not doing one yesterday…

Well…damn, what a day yesterday…started okay but then the damn trackpad on my laptop stopped working so that took 2 hours in the chat with Dell to get it fixed…and that screwed up my whole day and left me behind on these since I didn’t have time to come here for the political one…so, I’ll do two of those today…didn’t get out of bed til 5:31 this morning and that shouldn’t feel like a win but it does after getting up so many times in the 4’s…I did get some cooking done but I had to run an extension cord into the bathroom to be able to run both the instant pot and the toaster oven at the same time…should probably upgrade the electric service but that would cost about 3 grand and I don’t want to spend that…getting close to the first 1k miles and that means a double ride indoors today since it’s going to be too cold to ride outside for the next week…and we have snow in the forecast for the next week…maybe this will be the last gasp of winter that I thought was already past…not much to do today…just the normal stuff and then some reading…more later…
