Well….survived the day yesterday but today looks a bit iffy….feel like crap today and I think it may have been going out with K for a couple before cocktails…didn’t sleep at all last night and just want to take a nap…but, I need to get out on the bike first…this is the third day of no news and breaking that habit is going to be a pain…not tough since it will save me 90 bucks a month and there will be no more leaning tower of papers….I am starting to like using Pandora instead of the tv for background noise…but, I need to go to the library today to get some books to read….and it is pool day so I’ll have something to do this aft….and I may have another topic for the day but no politics…..more later…

September 10th
Well….just barely coming out of the utter, black, depression that was the election…but the smiles of the people on the trail today helped quite a bit. But, I am done with this country….not going to watch the news, not going to care about anything…when the ignorant idiots in the country can elect people that are going to take away my social security and medicare when I am eligible for it, they can all go to hell. There was one bright spot that Tom just pointed out to me…that I will have lots to write about over the next 4 years….but, I’m not sure I want to…
November 8th
Well…it was a pretty good day yesterday with making some cash that will get me through to Thanksgiving and getting the tire on the car plugged…the damn screw that was in the tire was about 2 inches long and I’m not really sure how the heck it got in there…and I had a high beam burn out on the way home last night and that irritates me some…but I found a new bulb on Amazon for $1.78 so that was cool….and the low beams are still fine so no big deal….it was just such a nice day yesterday that I had the top down all day and even got some sunburn….probably the last day that will happen…today is election day and I need to wait a while before I go so that will give me time to work out and get a bike ride in…might get wet but it looks like light rain so that is okay…more later…
November 7th
Well…still feeling pretty crappy today but it appears that I may be improving some…and it’s about damn time….I did make some cash yesterday so there will be groceries this week and that takes a load off….didn’t get anything done yesterday so I will need to do the kitchen today after I fix the tire on the car….but, I don’t feel like doing either right now so maybe wed would be the day…it is the last day before the election and I can’t wait to have the political ads gone from the tv…just can’t stomach any more Trump crap…it is weird having the sun in my eyes going out for the papers again with the time change…for the first time that I can remember, I didn’t do the time conversion in my head…weird…okay…need the couch, coffee and the news so I am going to do that…more later….
November 6th
Well…have spent the morning resetting all the clocks here…and I haven’t even gotten to the one in the car that I lost the instructions for…so that one will be trial and error….the tire on the car is still up so I don’t feel bad that I am going to wait until tomorrow to fix it…I do have to run an errand this aft so I will have to check it and make sure that it is okay with having an e-way run…I did get a few things done yesterday and today will be the kitchen’s turn since I have corpses of those damn little gnats everywhere….and I had the chicken brine bag unzip and spill rosemary and salt water all over the fridge so that will have to be done, too….I am roasting a whole chicken today with mashed potatoes and I am looking for ward to having something different than the thighs that I normally have…..okay…going back to the couch to finish my coffee and watch some soccer as I wait for the temp to come up to get on the bike…more later….
November 5th
Well….had a little problem with the car yesterday with running over a screw and puncturing one of the rear tires….I just could not believe how bad the car handled with just a soft tire…it really felt like something had broken in the rear…just evil handling…but, I had the stuff necessary to fix it and it is still up this morning so I guess I’ll wait until Monday to take it off and plug it….just don’t feel like fixing it today…oh, I did win at pool yesterday and if was nice to get out for a change…and the run back with the tire fixed with the top down was fun…still feel a little crappy today and the bug is still here….so, today is going to be a slow one after the bike ride…have to remember to fall back tonight since daylight savings time is ending and that will put me out on the bike even later…could go out right now if it was light since it is warm enough but it is still dark so I won’t….not going to do a lot today…might do my kitchen but still don’t have a lot of energy so maybe not…more later…
November 4th
Well…woke up this morning thinking it was Saturday for some reason…and I thought I was feeling better but have had a relapse…but, it’s just like every other bug…I feel better then worse, then better and that appears to be the pattern here…I did make some cash yesterday…finally….and that added to the 9 bucks I had in my pocket….and I had a nice lunch with T for her birthday that was fun…put the top down on the car all day, too, so that added to the fun….I do need to wash it soon so maybe today….I did wake up to a pleasant surprise this morning finding 5 pounds of venison burger on my door knob…I had cleared out my freezer with not having a lot of cash so this restock will come in handy….venison tacos next week….with running most of the day yesterday, I didn’t get a lot done and today looks the same with pool later and still not feeling right…I do feel much better than Monday so I guess I shouldn’t bitch too much….more later…
November 3rd
Well…I think I may be feeling a little better today…at least I slept some last night and that helps…still coughing, though, and I was sweating like crazy just doing the grocery shopping so maybe I shouldn’t jump the gun….did get out on the bike yesterday and that felt pretty good and it looks like I’ll be getting out again in a few minutes but no t-shirt this morning…I did take the day off and didn’t do any work…and today looks the same with having lunch with T for her birthday….wanted to buy today but haven’t made any cash in 6 weeks or so I need to conserve cash after having to use the debit card for groceries today….haven’t even driven the car enough to have to put gas in it in two weeks…and still have a full tank….okay…need to get back to the news before the bike ride so I’ll end here…more later….
November 2nd
Well…yeah, didn’t come back for another one yesterday and now I know I have a bug and it’s not allergies…or maybe a combo? Oh, well….it was such a nice day yesterday with it being over 70 but today it’s going to rain so I think there will be no bike ride today…just sitting here has me sweating and that never happens with allergies….still didn’t sleep well…better than Monday but I still just want this crap to be over….I did get the bathroom dine yesterday and I should do the kitchen today but I probably won’t….I am really sore from coughing the past few days and the coughing is still here so that will go on, too….okay…tired of talking about how I feel so I’m going back to the couch to finish the coffee……more later….
November 1st
Well….still not feeling 100% today and that is really irritating…oh, well…and I didn’t sleep at all last night…didn’t get a lot done yesterday with feeling crappy and having no energy but I think I may be getting a little better….hope so, anyway….it looks like the bike ride will be in a t-shirt this morning with it being 57 already…..and the high is almost 70 for Nov 1st…I’m good with that after how last year got cold in October and it never warmed up until April….looks like it may be easy to get to Thanksgiving in shorts this year….don’t want to have to put the snowies on before December this year since they are almost worn out and I need to get this winter out of them….don’t have a lot to do today but the normal stuff so I won’t go into that today…more later…
