April 20th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I got a few things done so that was cool…slept okay last night…kinda….and feel okay today with having the third night of being good and tonight will be a fourth and I feel good about that….might just do the whole week since I am now getting used to it….the car is still holding up with the patch I put on it so the urgency of fixing the exhaust has lessened somewhat….I did talk to my middle son last night for an hour and that was fun…he has a new job running IT for a school district near Detroit and that is cool….still have the twinges in my elbows but still no full pain yet and I am not sure why that is….haven’t even taken any ibuprofen for it and that is a good thing…my back has been great for almost 6 weeks now and I am getting used to it not hurting and being able to move as I want….T is in Phoenix until Sunday and I kind of miss talking to her but it is something I think I can get used to…..not much to do today….going to clean some and make a half pork loin for lunch along with the normal stuff but that is about it…more later….

April 19th

Well…it was a busy day yesterday and I got a bunch of stuff done…made a little cash but spent most of it on supplies that I needed so I guess the day was a wash…slept pretty crappy last night but I don’t feel that bad today so being good is having it’s desired effect….got a great bike ride in yesterday and finally felt like I am getting my legs back…it did help that it was over 70 and that loosened things up somewhat…haven’t had to take any ibuprofen for almost a week now and I am hoping my elbows were just screwing with me when they shadowed some pain earlier….don’t hurt at all today so I guess I’ll keep my fingers crossed…did get a notice that they shipped my new exhaust yesterday but I don’t think it will get here by Friday…the car is still not too loud so I guess I can get through another week with the old one on it….not much to do today…got my state taxes in yesterday and got enough back to buy the exhaust and still have 50 bucks left over so that was cool…..oh, today….going to get back to the normal routine today but it’s been slow starting so I guess I’ll just play it by ear….more later…

April 18th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get much done…way too many races on along with soccer so I really just vegged it out for the day….slept okay and was good last night so I feel pretty good today….and the Wings won so that was really cool but it’s only one game so I’m not back on the bandwagon yet….not sore anywhere so the bike ride will be okay today…I think the bike is going to have to be replaced soon since the rear swingarm is starting to wear out and I can’t see of any way to replace it….it would be nice to get an upgrade anyway but I may strip this one if I do….even though most of the stuff is worn out….we’ll see….the car hasn’t gotten any louder so that is cool, too, so I guess I can wait for the new exhaust….finally going to make a little cash today but have to spend some of that to get supplies but I guess it’s better than nothing….not much to do today….have errands this morning and then the normal stuff and some work around here…should accomplish a little today and that will be cool, too….more later…

April 17th

Well….it was a little bit of a busy day yesterday and I got sunburned from having the top down in the car…did get the chance to go out and meet up with C and K and K and that took a lot out of me…slept okay last night but feel a little slow today so I am going to take it easy…probably watch the napcar race later and just veg it out today…have just been feeling creaky the past few days so I think I’ll take some ibuprofen before the bike ride today and see if that helps…haven’t made any cash lately so this week is going to be pretty low key and I’ll be eating out of the freezer for most of my meals…have plenty of frozen food so that will be okay….going to get out on the bike here in a few so I think I’ll end this here and go back to the couch to finish the coffee….more later….

April 16th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I got a few things done so that was cool…slept okay last night but was up early this morning for some reason…I am re-thinking my cocktail rules for the NHL playoffs and will go back to the normal sched…just too much and feel too crappy to keep it up…and it costs a lot of money that I don’t want to spend….and the Wings are stinking up the place so I probably won’t watch any more….no pain to speak of today but I think I may take some ibuprofen before I get out on the bike….and I can get out in a few minutes since it is warm enough to get out now…and I need to since Man U is playing at 10….not much to do today…C is coming into town for the first time in 6 months so I am going to hang out with him for a while and then clean some….more later….

April 15th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I won at pool so that was cool…didn’t get anything else done but that was expected so I don’t feel bad about that….feel a little worn out today and I think it’s the allergies again but I’m not sure…the car has gotten louder so I guess I’ll have to get under it today to see if I can see anything…pretty good run of 3 1/2 years of not having to work on it…but, I really don’t have the cash to fix it so I hope it doesn’t get worse….I do need to get out on the bike in a while but even though it is going to be 70 today, it is still in the 30’s now….don’t have any pain right now but I can tell my wrists and elbows are going to later today…oh, well….not much to do today….the car and the bike ride and then some cleaning until the Wings game later….more later…

April 14th

Well…running really late today and feel like crap so this one is going to be short…went out to say goodbye to Nick last night since he is moving to Colorado and that started my night off too early…even skipped the papers this morning since it seemed like just too much effort to go out and that now seems like a good idea….didn’t even get out of bed until 7:30 and can’t get started….need the coffee to get hot right now….

Okay…finally feel good enough to come back here..didn’t want you to think I died or something….did get the car washed and waxed and got half a bike ride in and now I’m getting ready to shoot pool in a few…it was an okay day yesterday but I still didn’t get anything done…much like today but I have an excuse for today….okay…that’s about it for now….should be back for another one later….

April 13th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get much done but the bike ride….slept crappy again and we’re back to that pattern so I guess I’ll have to get used to it….the elbow tendons are starting to scream at me again so it looks like it will be ibuprofen all day today to try to get the swelling down….I was really hoping for a pain free summer but no luck….just finished the grocery run and spent 67 bucks that I didn’t have but needed to spend….well…that’s not true, I can afford it but it still hurts to take most of your free cash just for groceries…I did get my new sunscreen that I needed with being able to put the top down the next week or so…got sunburned on the bike yesterday and need to pay attention to that….not much to do today….going to wash and wax the car and then prep for the first Wings playoff game tonight….got a huge ham for 9 bucks today so I may cook that, too, but I’m not sure yet…more later….

April 12th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but it started out really crappy…was having my morning coffee when the handle of my coffee cup broke off with coffee going everywhere….a huge mess that I just don’t need first thing in the morning…and, I’m running late this morning with going out last night and I just can’t get started….slept okay last night but feel pretty crappy today with only eating one meal yesterday and I need to make sure I don’t do that again with getting back one the bike…I know I’ll pay for that later but just couldn’t choke down a second one….I think the tendons are going to hurt again this year with my elbows showing a shade of pain yesterday on the bike and I hope it stays a shade and not the pain I had two years ago where I couldn’t pick anything up without screaming….not much to do today….going to clean a little and then come back here for at least one…it is going to be shorts day tomorrow and I’m not sure if it’s too early…we’ll see…more later…

April 11th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get much done, again, slept okay last night but woke up with cramps in my calves and feet and that is a new one…the handle broke off one of my coffee cups while I was drinking and spilled coffee everywhere…lots of cleaning today and it’s not something I look forward to….I did another Route 66 marathon yesterday and I still need to do a post on it and the time capsule it is back to the time before freeways….it looks like the Wings start the playoffs wed so that will give me something to look forward to for the next couple of weeks…not sure how they will do but maybe the second round? Who knows?  Not much to do today…going to get back on the bike this morning since it is already about 45 and it’s not raining or snowing and then there will be the cleaning….no cooking today since there are leftovers and I still need to restrict calories to make up for not being on the bike for a week…more later…
