June 17th

Well…running late today and I just can’t get started….got up early so that’s not it….oh, well…I did win at pool yesterday but Tom put an 8 in on the break and that is much cooler….had to take some allergy meds last night with the bad headache I had and it is starting again this morning so there may be more today…have three left so that should get me through the weekend…..didn’t get anything else done yesterday so I should do some cleaning today…just watched a show comparing the 4 generations of the Miata and the first gen model, like mine, won the comparison…that’s pretty cool….the 24 hours of LeMans is on in a few minutes and that will burn a lot of my data for the month but I do need to watch it…..okay…need more coffee so I’ll end here….more later….

June 16th

Well…running a little late today…and feel pretty crappy after having a cocktail night…yeah, I know….was supposed to wait until tonight but I’m just so bored that I needed to….I did get a nice bike ride in yesterday but I’m thinking about skipping today…I need a recovery day for my legs since they were flat yesterday….slept okay last night but woke up sore everywhere and the sunburn is itching so I am a little miserable today….didn’t get the kitchen cleaned yesterday and won’t today with pool this aft…and I am going to go look for a new pair of shoes since Kohl’s has them 50% off….the ones I’m using now are starting to look worn….okay…need to have coffee and decide whether to get on the bike or not…more later….

June 15th

Well….running on time today and that’s even with doing the grocery run today….and I feel okay today if a little sore…did the entire 15 miles at full sprint yesterday and I’m not sure how that happened…must have been the three cups of coffee and the Black Sabbath that was playing in the ears….and eating enough the day before…not sure if I ate enough yesterday to make today a good ride but we’ll see….I did get to lay out and try to even out the biker tan yesterday and something pretty funny happened…I had my earbuds in and the cord left a white mark on my chest that looks like one of those Y-shaped autopsy scars you see on tv all the time…still laughing about that one….not much to do today….I am going to do the kitchen floor and cook some today…got some chicken thighs for 88 cents a pound this morning but I think I’ll do leftovers instead…more later….

June 14th

Well…running early today and I think it’s because I’m bored and couldn’t take just sitting here doing nothing…it was an okay day yesterday…didn’t get a lot done but I did get the bike fixed and got a nice, long ride in…tried to eat more yesterday and I may have been successful…have been exhausted the past few days and I hope that is past…..but it is still a struggle to get over 1500 calories for the day….not sure if I’m going to get out on the bike for a while since it looks like there are some small storms that are coming through in a few minutes and it is going to rain a lot in the next few days so there may be a day off the bike in there…so I’ll have to fill that time with cleaning…and I need to…not much to do today….and that’s true…more later….

An observation about old tv….

Well….after getting rid of the dish and having to rely on what channels that I can get on the antenna for most of the day, I noticed a weird thing….even though there are many well rated old tv shows on, the only ones I watch are the ones that I watched when they were not in re-runs….and I find that kind of funny…I mean “Good Times” was well rated and quite popular when I was young but I never watched it then and I have no desire to watch it now….and that pattern goes to many shows that have been extremely popular but I just never got into them…”Grey’s Anatomy” comes to mind or any of the “NCIS” series that have been on…have never watched any of those either and some of them were the most popular in their time…not sure what it all means but just an observation….

June 13th

Well…running really early today…started this one before 7 but the site has been a little hinky and I am just now getting it to work….slept okay last night, finally, and feel okay this morning….didn’t get a lot done yesterday and probably won’t today….I do need to cook since all of the leftovers are gone so it will be pork stir fry for lunch….I did put the air on for the first time last night since it was still 86 at 10 and I was dripping….still don’t want to run it all the time since I like the heat…hope I have the bike fixed and can get a trouble free ride in….need to do that soon since there may be some storms coming…I can hope anyway….more later….

Not sure what’s going on….

Well…have just been feeling off the past couple of weeks and I’m not sure what is going on….I know part of it is being broke and having some big decisions to make over the next month or so but there have been little things that are happening that just keep highlighting the precarious position that I find myself in…like today, the damn bike shifted down to the center front sprocket and wouldn’t shift back up and I had to figure that one out…and it just pointed out that the bike is just about done and I can’t afford to buy another one….that is the one thing that that keeps me sane and I just can’t have it go away right now….and I should be having a drink right now but I can’t since I have to show some discipline and think about my liver….and that’s a pain, too…I’m tired of thinking of stuff like that…I guess I’m just basically tired….oh, well….tomorrow will be better…or it won’t…who knows?

June 12th

Well…wasted another day yesterday and I’m not sure why…okay…I did get dishes and laundry done so I guess it wasn’t totally wasted….and I did a long bike ride so I guess that counts, too….my back was okay until I got back from the bike ride but then it hurt the rest of the day and that was pretty annoying….it was pretty warm yesterday but I kept the air off and I am going to try to do that again today….still haven’t gotten the electric bill down where I need it…only down 80 bucks and i need it to get down 100….not much to do today….just can’t get started so I think I’ll just ease into the day…more later….

June 11th

Well…running a little late today…just can’t get started and I think my internet has the same disease….it has been pretty iffy all morning…trying to watch the moto gp race and it wouldn’t start….and my website has been slow, too….oh, well….didn’t get a lot done yesterday and today will probably be the same but I do have to do my kitchen…I think I said that yesterday, too….my back has flared again this morning and it hurts like crazy….won’t keep me off the bike but it will hurt…going to take something for it in a minute…didn’t win the powerball last night but someone in Cali did…so I think I’ll be depressed for the next couple of days….I do need more coffee so I think I’ll do that and watch the race…more later….

June 10th

Well….trying to get started early today since the boredom has started early, too….waiting for the coffee to finish and I really need that this morning….oh, I did win at pool….and it was a nice ride out and back but I got a little burned even with sunscreen on…might have to buy some new stuff since the bottle I’m using is a couple of years old….not too sore today so I think the bike ride should be a good one…and I can get out as soon as I want with the temp already over 60…..didn’t get anything done yesterday but I do have to do the kitchen and cook today since I am out of leftovers and have some fresh green beans I want to cook…and a pork loin….and I do need some calories today with being under a couple of days….more later….
