April 10th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get anything done….slept okay but feel a little slow today so I am easing into the day with coffee and the paper….I was going to clean yesterday but the Wings were playing in the aft and that broke my day up…to be honest, I didn’t really want to clean anyway…I did do a “Route 66” marathon yesterday and I am going to do a post on that later today…have the first 4 seasons on my son’s server and that makes almost 120 episodes….not sore again today and that is almost a month since I’ve had pain so I am wondering what will come next….still no bike ride today since it is snowing again but that will break later in the week and I will get back in the groove…I do miss riding but I am not going to be cold anymore…not much to do today….Man U plays at 11 and there will be more “Route 66” but that is about it….I do need to do laundry today to clean my bedding but that is about it…more later….

April 9th

Well…woke up this morning to 4 inches of snow and ice on the car and that will set the mood for the day….it was an okay day yesterday and I made a little cash so that was cool…slept okay but the bed is torn apart so I must have tossed like crazy…and feel a little slow so maybe I didn’t sleep okay….didn’t get a thing done yesterday so today will have to be different…maybe….still no pain so that is a plus but I haven’t been on the bike in a week and it looks like a few more days until it gets warm enough to go again…and that makes me grumpy and guilty but I guess I’ll have to live with it…the trip out to get the papers with the summer tires on ice was interesting to say the least…it is a skating rink out there and I hope it melts today….not much to do today….the Wings play this aft in their last game that they have to win to get into the playoffs so I’ll be watching that one….more later…..

April 8th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get a lot done….made a little cash and that was cool but I am so damn tired of the cold weather…had to warm up the car again this morning since it had ice on it…and that has kept me off the bike for a week now and that makes me cranky, too…slept okay last night but the Wings lost so now the suspense carries over to a must win Sat night…aargh….I’m not sore today so I guess that’s something….haven’t had a lot of energy lately and I’m not sure why….and I’m tired of thinking about it….I would love to have a week where I didn’t count calories for every bit of food I eat….but, that’s not realistic so I guess I just have to live with it….not much to do today…going to make a little cash later in the aft and the Tigers have their home opener today so I guess I’ll watch some of that and clean a little but that’s about it….more later…

April 7th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I won at pool so that was cool….running late today and I’m not really sure why….the computer was giving me some problems but that only took a few minutes to fix so that can’t be it…oh, well….I was not good last night since I suspended my cocktail rules for the remaining Wings games…I won’t comment on last night’s game since I want to do one on that later….feel okay today and the elbows don’t hurt so maybe I can escape the moving tendon pain this year…but, my big toe hurts and I think I have a cramp in it…darn….I haet this darn gloomy weather we have been having and that looks like it will last until next week…it is time to get into shorts and I don’t want to wait….not much to do today…there is another Wings game tonight and I need to go to Meijers again but that is about it for today…more later…oh, and three more of these to get caught up….

April 6th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I got a few things done so that was cool….boring dreams again last night made the okay sleep seem a  waste of time but I guess you do have to sleep….didn’t get out on the bike and today looks the same but I really don’t feel bad about it…I’ll just double up when the weather gets better and get back into shape….still no pain to speak of but I can feel the twinges of the moving tendonitus starting to show up in my elbows again this spring….some stiffness is starting and that is usually how it starts….but, I’m not going to dwell on it until it gets to the point I can’t use my hands without pain….I did get the car washed yesterday and it needed it…couldn’t see out of the glass and you know how that bugs me…not much to do today…the wing play the first of their last three games tonight and have to win two of them to make it into the playoffs…might break my cocktail rule to root them on but we’ll see….more later…

April 5th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I had no energy at all so it was basically vegging…and I don’t like that….feel much better today and have a little energy so I will be back to the workout and bike regimen today…the bike will have to wait until this aft since it will be cold but that’s okay…I have things to do until then….slept okay last night but had disappointing dreams that really didn’t have anything to them…no revelations, no flying, no nothing so that is disappointing…one cool thing happened last night…on “Better call Saul”, they had the last flying B-29 bomber as part of a plot point…and I have actually touched that one and took pictures with my sons in front of it when they had it on display here in GR…..pretty cool….not much to do today….have a couple of errands to run this morning…need batteries from Harbor Freight…but that is about it….more later….

April 4th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get much done….the furnace appears to be fixed so that takes a load off and it is nice and toasty in here…and, it needs to be since it felt just so cold when I went out for the papers and I couldn’t wait to get back in the warm….slept okay last night and no earplugs for a second night so that is something….no dreams, though, and that is more annoying than anything else….I did get a bike ride in yesterday and I didn’t think I would…but I won’t today with the high staying under 40 and I just don’t want to go full thermasuit….I was going to run errands today but I just don’t feel like it right now….not much to do today…going to just hang out around here today and maybe clean the kitchen but that’s it….more later…

April 3rd

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I got a bunch of stuff done for a change so that was cool….slept okay last night and did it without earplugs for the first time in over two years….the furnace in the unit above me has stopped making noise so I can sleep again without them…not sure what I think about that yet but it is nice to not have that high pitched screeching all the time…my furnace crapped out last night so I had to call maint here and that means a lot of work on my part….but the fix was quick and it seems to be fine now so that is cool, too….was a little cold in here until they fixed it….didn’t get a bike ride in yesterday with all the snow and I’ll have to wait until later today to go so the ice will melt off the trails….not much to do today….have a little cleaning to do but that is about it….so it will be low key….more later….

April 2nd

Well….it was an okay day yesterday but pool sucked so that was not cool….slept okay last night and the Wings won a game they had to so that helped some…didn’t get anything done at all yesterday so today will have to be different…I do have a bunch of stuff to do around here so that will keep me busy today…no pain for the 5th week now so I think I’ll stop updating that…the allergies are normal so I won’t talk about that either…cripes, I may not have anything to talk about if I omit that stuff…oh, well….I did get a bike ride in yesterday and got pretty cold and it took forever to warm up….and my legs were very flat and I’m not sure why…not much to do today…..going to get some work done around here and then clean…and watch some soccer with coffee but that is about it…more later…

April 1st

Well….it was an okay day yesterday and I made some cash so that was cool…and I got the ham soup done and it came out great, to me, so I think I’ll set that recipe in stone and not change it anymore….slept okay last night but feel a little slow today and that is okay…need some time for coffee and to just ease into the day….it looks like it is going to be damn cold again for the next week and I know it’s Michigan and that happens in April but that doesn’t mean I have to like it….will be back in the thermasuit and gloves again today on the bike but it will be dry so I guess that is something….almost decided to go out on the bike yesterday afternoon but didn’t…and that was a good thing since it started to pour about 10 minutes later….not much to do today…pool, but that is about it…the bathroom needs a cleaning and I may do that before pool but I might not…more later…
