Well…running a little late today and almost forgot to come here and do this one…..with all of the work being done around here yesterday, I didn’t have the chance to get into my routine and that threw me off for the day….slept okay last night and don’t feel too bad today other than my back is sore again and I just feel creaky today…going to take some ibuprofen here in a minute before I get on the bike to try to keep the pain down some…I do need to continue to clean today and the kitchen needs it most with all of the sludge and crap that was all over the floor…not going to do much else today other than cook….more later…..

More drain problems…
Well….it has been a pretty crappy day today with the drain in my kitchen plugging up again today and flooding the whole damn thing again…they have been working on it all day and I am still waiting for the outside plumbers to come and finish it….the damn thing had so much pressure in it this morning that it blew the drain pipe off and flooded the kitchen…..okay, they were just here and it appears they have fixed the problem…the drain works better than it has in years and I am now running the dishwasher to try it out a little more….
July 1st
Well….running a little early today and I’m not sure why….other than getting up too damn early….had a pretty good day yesterday but no pool…I did get out to see a friend I haven’t seen in 5 years and that was cool…but didn’t get much else done and today will be much the same…I need to get the bike ride in here in a minute but I need coffee first….my back has been iffy again and I’m not sure why….not hurting now but it probably will on the bike….need to do a long one today with doing short ones the past two days…really don’t have anything to do until the race is on at noon so that will work out…more later….
June 30th
Well…running a little late today…just can’t get started and part of that is I wasn’t good last night….but I’m going to justify that with the holiday weekend…slept okay last night and don’t feel too bad today…have even been out already running an errand with the top down in the car…needed some more sunscreen and I forgot the eggs I need for potato salad that I am going to make tomorrow…had a nice time meeting up with T yesterday and we had quite a few laughs…lots of fun….but that set me on the path to not being good last night…and I blame that on her…..didn’t get anything done yesterday and today looks the same….need to get a bike ride in this morning and I will need to take something for the pain in my thighs….then out for pool later…..that’s about it…will clean tomorrow…..
Okay…no pool today…tom has to work…
June 29th
Well….running a little late today with doing the grocery run this morning…and I feel pretty crappy today with going out to have a couple with G…and that was fun so that was cool….didn’t sleep much last night for the second day in a row and I’m feeling it right now….but, I am going to try to get on the bike after coffee and work that out….if it doesn’t rain….I did get the top down going over to Meijers and that was cool….didn’t eat much yesterday but I am going to try to fix that today…just no energy….not much to do today…going to try to clean a little but that will be it….and I am going out to meet up with T later so that will be fun…more later….
I feel a little humbled…
Well…just had to relate something that happened on the trail today that left me a little humbled…as you know, I feel pretty good about the fact that I can still go out and go hard on the bike for 15 miles every day at my advanced age…but today I was a little humbled by a conversation I had with one of the regulars that I wave to every day but had never talked before now. I’ve always thought that this person was maybe 70 or so since he walks with such vigor when I see him…but today I found out he just turned 90 years old when he stopped to talk at a water stop. Now, I have to say that I want to be in that shape at 90…and be able to do what Mike does…pretty cool….
June 28th
Well…running a little late and shouldn’t be…have been up since 5:30…didn’t sleep much last night and feel it this morning…just have no energy and that’s seems to be a continuation of yesterday…I know I haven’t been eating enough but just have no desire to do it….I was really hoping for storms this morning to give me an excuse to stay off the bike but that didn’t happen…just can’t seem to get warm today and I wonder if it’s a bug…maybe that has something to do with why I’m so fatigued? Didn’t get much done yesterday but I do have some things to do today that really need to be done..so I am going to try to get some motivation going….but, not until after coffee….more later….
June 27th
Well…running early today and it’s cold in here this morning…didn’t put the heat on last night and it got down to 48…not sure if I want to do that now or if I’ll wait for the coffee to warm me up….don’t feel all that hot today with not sleeping too well last night but I was good so that can’t be it….and I’m back to being sore everywhere and that is disappointing….didn’t get a lot done yesterday but didn’t need to so I guess that worked out….still don’t have to cook today with having leftover chicken but I am getting tired of it….okay….it’s coffee time and I really need some right now…more later….
June 26th
Well…running late today and it’s from going back to bed after I got up…haven’t done that in years and I’m not sure why I did it today….feeling a little depressed for the past week or so and there are good reasons for it that I don’t think I’ll share right now….slept okay last night but I’m just exhausted again and I’m pretty sure it’s from not eating…but, I just don’t care to so I guess that could be a problem….didn’t get anything done yesterday…even skipped the bike ride to try to get the ache out of my legs but that didn’t work….not much to do today…I think I’ll try to get out in the sun a little and clean but no promises…..more later….
June 25th
Well….wasted another day yesterday but just couldn’t get going…I did use the slow cooker to make some chicken with smoked sausage and that came out pretty good…but I only ate one meal yesterday since I felt full all day after the chicken….so the legs will be flat on the bike today…won’t be going out until later since the F1 race is on at 9…I really should take a day off to let the legs rest but that pegs the guilt meter and I don’t know if I want that or not….and I should clean today…but I’m not sure if I will or not….I did get 45 miles in yesterday but my back did give me some problems so I think I’ll have to wait a while to do the 100 miles….I do need more coffee so I think I’ll go get some and come back to this later…..more later…
