Well….it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get anything done but laundry…..still coughing like crazy and I’m not sure why….must be a bug…oh, I said that yesterday didn’t I? So, I feel a little crappy today and I am going to take it easy…easier? At least my back is better today…but it always is in the morning so I’m not going to get my hopes up too much…..at least it’s not 2 degrees like yesterday morning but the cold was still bad going out for the papers today…just another indicator that I am not feeling that hot…and my reading light crapped out today but I was happy I had an extra bulb to fix it…just don’t need a complication for my morning routine…not much to do today….going to just hang out and take it easy as I try to feel better….more later….

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I got a few things done so that was cool…it is nice to have a clean bathroom again…slept okay last night but have been coughing like crazy again and it feels like a bug…again…this is the third one this winter and I am tired of it….at least my back doesn’t hurt as much as it has over the past few weeks so that is something…I did make some slow cooker chicken that came out pretty good so there will be no cooking today and that is okay, too….I should clean up the kitchen after making a big mess yesterday and I might…but as I feel right now, that will be put on the back burner for now…..not much to do today….I do have to come back and do one on Scalia dying…the hypocrisy of the repubs on this one is just breathtaking…more later…
February 13th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I won at pool so that was cool…slept okay last night but no dreams again so I guess I’ll just have to get used to it…there were two good music shows on last night that I watched..one on BB King and another on David Bowie…and Bowie did Young Americans live so that was really cool….and I wasn’t good so I don’t feel that hot today…I have gotten the slow cooker going already and that is really an accomplishment for 8:25 in the morning…I decided to bake the chicken first instead of just putting it in the cooker…just didn’t want to have to pick the bones and skin out of the cooker…and I don’t really like the way chicken tastes in the cooker anyway….not much to do today…watching Man U right now and then I’m just going to veg it today with a little cleaning…the bathroom needs some work but that will be it….more later…

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I got a few things done so that was cool…slept okay but the dreams are gone again and that is a little disappointing…oh, well…I just wish my back would stay as it is when I get up and not hurt all day….not sure what the heck is going on with it….I did make a good batch of chili yesterday and that was good and I got out to get some chicken for 29 cents a pound so I am going to make a slow cooker chicken dish tomorrow if I can get it to thaw by then…might have to use the hot water trick since it is a 10 pound block of ice right now….and I don’t have any room in the freezer for it but I couldn’t pass it up…not much to do today…pool, then back here for cocktails later with the Wings…but, I am not going to do what I did last week…way too long of a day not getting home until 7:30…more later….
Varied topics…
Well…I was just going to call this one noodling around but I’ve used that one before and I didn’t want to get bored…there was something cool announced today where the people running the LIGO experiment said that they have detected gravity waves that came from two black holes that merged 1.5 billion light years away…scientists have been working on this one since the theory of general relativity was published in the early 1900’s and it is the last part that remained to be proven…..just love this science stuff….I have been thinking about some political topics over the past couple of days and haven’t found one that lit any fire in me…it is fun to watch the desperation from the lower tier repubs as they try to figure out how to not be irrelevant…and that means attack, attack, attack, to the repubs…not policy, just attack…and I do want to say one thing…anyone who thinks John Kasich is a “moderate” is fricking delusional…he may look like a moderate compared to the right wing mouth breathers that are running…but, to see his true nature, you just have to look at the legislation that he has been pushing to de-fund PP based on the fake videos that were presented as damning to PP…they aren’t true but that doesn’t get in the way of Kasich trying to eliminate the good that PP does for poor women in Ohio…moderate? Hell no…geez….
February 11th
Well….it was an okay day yesterday and I got a bunch of stuff done so that was cool…slept okay and had some really weird dreams that included cell phones, and me playing for the Wings but street hockey…pretty cool having a great dream for a change….and I feel okay this morning so that starts it out good…already have the grocery run done but spent too much money to get nothing…had to re supply all my cleaning supplies and that is not cheap….I did hear from T this morning for the first time in a while and that made me smile…her week has been extra crazy and I didn’t expect to hear from her so that was a pleasant surprise….my back hurt like crazy doing the groceries but that was expected…at least nothing else hurts and I’m not coughing…not much to do today…going to make chili and clean some but that is about it…it was nice to have the car start with no problem with it being only 12 degrees outside…takes a load off….more later….
Funny taxes…
Well…just finished up doing my taxes and I am still laughing at the absurdity of it….my taxable income this year was $271 dollars…yep, you saw that right…after my exemption and standard deduction my taxable was the lowest it been since I was in my teens…and I only paid $21 dollars in tax on that amount….just damn funny that I only owed that for the year….but, I don’t feel bad…there were years that I paid more than 20K in taxes…and I didn’t mind even paying that since I used to make a lot of cash….
February 10th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I got a few things done…slept okay and feel pretty good this morning with being good for the third day in a row so maybe I’ll have to keep that up…I think my back has plateaued with some pain that I may have to live with and I’m not happy about that….but, I’m not coughing too much anymore so I’ll take what I can get…I did get my printer working again yesterday and got my fed forms printed out so I can get that in today…and that will pay my car insurance but not much more since I took out less from my IRA than last year…a good and bad thing….I did want to get a new laptop but there is not enough money coming back to to that…oh,well….not much to do today…need to get the taxes done and then I need to work on the leaning tower of papers to get them recycled today but that is about it….more later….
February 9th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I felt like crap so I didn’t get much done….slept okay and feel better today so I hope that continues since I have some stuff to get done today….the bike ride was torture with no energy in the legs and I know it was from not eating enough…not sure if I rectified that yesterday or not but we’ll see when I get out on the bike today….and I was good last night so maybe that will help….and I will be good the rest of the week since I need some time off….my back seems to be better today but it was still crazy yesterday…no pain at all when I got up but the twinges are coming back as I sit here and do this….but it seems a little better so I’ll take it….not much to do today…I do need to start pulling the tax stuff together so I can get them in this week but that is about it…I do have some normal stuff to do around here but that may wait a couple of days….more later…
February 8th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I got a few things done so that is cool…even got out for a while to have a couple with K and that was fun….but I feel like crap today and I am running late because of it….one good thing is my back doesn’t hurt and I’m not sure why…but I’ll take it….slept okay but not well if you can understand that….just can’t get started this morning and I think I’ll just have to write this day off and lick the wounds….back to coughing again and I am just so tired of it….I was hoping that it would be over but no such luck….I do have some stuff to do today but I’m not sure if I’ll do it or not….just want more coffee and more couch for a while…I will get out on the bike today once it warms up some but that will be a while…need to work out first and feel better…more later…
