Well…what a wasted day yesterday….I did get the grocery run done but little else…not sure if that should bother me or not…after all, I really don’t have a lot to do….I am really tired of the humidity but I don’t want fall to come just yet…it was cool going out in the fog this morning and seeing the clouds blowing past….I think I have enough food now that I can hunker down for a month or so and not spend any more money….and I think I’ll try that…going to be a little lean for a while….haven’t been sleeping much lately and I am starting to feel it…just dragging this morning and I hope it doesn’t continue all day…there is a Star Trek marathon going on on BBC this morning so I think I’ll go back to the couch and watch that…more later….

September 8th
Well….I did watch some of the forums last night…and I still need brain bleach to get Trump’s words out of my head…but that’s one for later…I am a little depressed this morning with the first, or second, sign that summer is over….had to put the headlights on going out for groceries today and I went out at the normal time…and I spent 50 bucks on nothing which compounds the depression…okay, not really depressed but the signs of time passing have become a little more relevant as I get older…I did get a whole chicken for only 89 cents a pound and that will be for Saturday…have to get it brined tomorrow to make it juicy….I’ve gotten 5 days in a row now without the pedal arm coming loose on the bike so that is a plus….I really hope the humidity starts to go away today…everything around here is damp and I think that adds to my malaise…and the fact that the storms missed us yesterday has been par for the course this summer…was looking forward to them…and now it looks like I’ll be going out in the showers this morning…I did read that a biker got hit by lightning the other day so I guess that’s something new to worry about….more later….
September 7th
Well…feeling better today and I think I’m finally over the bug that I had for the past few days….I did get out yesterday to make a little cash so that was cool, too, and got out to get the stuff for some salsa that I made with the tomatoes I got from G…thought I’d added too much cumin but after I let it set until last night, the flavors melded and it was pretty good…I have enough tomatoes to make a second batch later in the week, too, so that will be cool….I wonder if the pain I feel every morning is going to be a permanent thing now….it has been a while since I woke up pain free and that is annoying…but, the ibuprofen takes care of it so I guess I shouldn’t bitch too much….the bike has been working okay but I know it’s on it’s last legs…oh, talked about that yesterday….I did talk to C for a few minutes the other day and it looks like we’ll have lots to catch up on when I see him….not much to do today….I do need to get out on the bike soon since it is supposed to rain this aft but that is about it…and I need to cook today, too, to get my system back in the groove…..more later….
September 6th
Well…have been having a hard time coming up with topics lately and I know I need to do a better job of it…am in a little bit of a slump and I’m not sure what the deal is…oh, well….feel a little better today but I shouldn’t with going out to have a few with G yesterday….she brought me so many veggies that it is all I will be eating the rest of the week…going to make some salsa today and saute some eggplant but how many veggies can you eat without being tired of them? Got some weird long beans, too, that I have never had before so that will be something to try….spent 30 bucks this morning and got all the spices I need for the salsa…cumin and cilantro is not cheap….didn’t do much yesterday but watch races and today will be the same…it is already hot out there and I put the top down for the grocery run…almost decided to go out to the beach today with the kids going back to school…but, still don’t feel 100% so I think maybe tomorrow….more later…
September 5th
Well…still feeling pretty crappy today…and I’m not sure what is going on…all I know is that I am sweating like crazy just sitting here typing so there must be some kind of a bug…I just want it gone…and, I woke up to my left foot hurting like it has cramps…man, I’m falling apart this week….it seems like a normal Monday to me but I know it’s a holiday and I know they don’t mean much to me anymore….I did have to clean the bike yesterday so I will need to lube it up this morning before I get out…rode in the rain/sludge the other day and couldn’t get the squeak out if it with all of the sand in the swingarm….I really do need to start thinking about a new bike….not much to do today…going to do the normal stuff and then watch the drag races for a while but that is about it….
September 4th
Well…still not feeling too hot today and that will be three days now…not sure what is going on but it has gotten really annoying…didn’t get a lot done yesterday and it looks the same for today…I do have some work to do and there are lots of races on so I think it may be a semi veg day today after the bike ride….I will go over 2K miles this morning and it looks like an average year this year…haven’t done a lot of double stints since I just don’t feel like it for some reason…not too sore today but I do need the pain killers before the bike ride since I have pain in my right forearm that feels like tendonitus…..and I don’t need to aggravate it….okay…need to get back to the F1 race and have more coffee….more later….
September 3rd
Well….man…I still feel pretty crappy today and can’t figure out what the heck is going on…oh, I did win at pool and had fun doing it….I think I may not be eating enough, again, so today there are going to be no limits on what I eat…other than the years of limiting my caloric intake…that may be hard to overcome….it is pretty cool outside so I do need to wait until after F1 qualifying to get out on the bike….but I do need to get out right after since Michigan plays at noon and I want to see that…will have to see if I can find my gear to wear…and I hope they play better than State did last night…they just looked pretty bad…I did watch the season finale of Roadies last night and I am trying to figure out what it is about the show that I like so much…might have to do one of these later to explain it…don’t have a lot to do today other than sports so I think it will be pretty much of a veg day after the bike ride and I don’t mind that….more later…
September 2nd
Well…it wasn’t a bad day yesterday other than I didn’t feel too hot all day and that is a little better today….just not eating enough and that screws everything up……I did get out to see T for a couple yesterday aft and it is always good to see her…she has lots of cool things going on at work and it was good to see her have her sparkle back again….it was kind of nice to have it in the 50’s this morning but I have to wait for the temp to come up to get out on the bike…but, I really don’t have anything to do this morning so that’s okay…going to keep it low key today…other than pool….it looks like a quite quiet weekend with the holiday and all but college football starts tonight with State playing and then Michigan tomorrow…so I will have stuff to do…more later….
September 1st
Well…running really late today and I think it’s because I did a huge grocery run…spent 75 bucks on nothing and I’m not sure how that continues to happen….oh, well….I did get a bunch of stuff done yesterday so there’s not a lot to do today…I am going to meet up with T later to have a couple before she heads up north but that is all the plans for the day…it felt good to have a clean car with the top down going out for groceries….finally got the haze off the inside of the glass that was irritating the heck out of me…but it took a lot of ammonia….haven’t been feeling all that hot the past couple of days and I’m not sure what it is…don’t think it’s a bug…could be allergies but who knows? The weather seems to have changed overnight and it is pretty cool outside…will make for a good ride today and I need to get to it…so I will…more later….
Last one for the month…
Well…another month without any fillers and I feel pretty good about that…I wonder if I should thank Trump for giving me some really easy topics? Nope..you can’t thank an idiot for being one….I am waiting for the news reports of his trip to Mexico today…it should go really, really well…snark….I have been getting a bunch of stuff done the past few days and that continued today with cleaning the kitchen some, doing some laundry, and cleaning and waxing the car….but now is down time for me and I just want to take it easy for a while….even made some cash today which is cool, and I am going to make a little more tomorrow so there will be food again this week….I do need a new trash can and to replace some t-shirts that have started to fall apart due to me sweating…it cuts through them like acid and they have them on sale at Target so I need to go there tomorrow…not today since I don’t want to do anything else today…..okay, need more water and to take a nap….no more until next month….
