Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I won at pool so that was cool….didn’t get much else done and today looks the same other than I will come back for another one…you know that pool days put me behind so that is why no second one yesterday….slept okay last night and the congestion in my lungs is breaking up so that is a good thing…and my back continues to improve to the point that I have had no pain so far today….it is going to be weird to not have pain since it has been more than 6 weeks since it started to hurt…but, I’ll take it…now I just need the pain to not move to some other part of my body like it normally does….not much to do today…going to clean a little and watch some soccer this aft but that is about it…more later…

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and my back has gotten a little better to the point that the pain is only intermittent and that is a relief…had a really bad night of sleep last night and a lot of it was from the wheezing that has come with the little bug I’ve had a few days now…don’t feel bad just coughing and a plugged up head so I guess I can live with it…didn’t get much done yesterday since I got off schedule with the internet being down all morning…and, I really didn’t have much to do so not doing it didn’t bother me too much…I am really tired of the snow and there is supposed to be another 5 inches this aft so the run out to shoot pool might be a little dicey….but, I’ve seen worse so we’ll see how it goes…will just have to shift into go-slow mode and leave a little earlier….not much to do today…pool, and then nothing really….oh, and win the powerball…if that happens, there will only be one more of these as I drive off into the sunset in my Ferrari….more later…
January 12th
Well….running late this morning since my internet has been down since I got up….and it is still not working right….but, I guess I’ll try to get a short one out…it was an okay day yesterday and I made some cash so that was cool….slept okay but have been up since really early and I’m not sure what that is about…my back is almost okay again…have been getting up and down with no pain…or just a shadow of pain and I can live with that….another night of snow and I am tired of it already….but, it is better than last year so I better just live with it and not let it bug me….not much to do today….need to do some work around here but that is about it…more later…
RIP David Bowie
Well…these are never easy….yesterday, David Bowie died at 69…the weird thing is, even with all of the news I read, I never heard that he was even sick…just about the new album that just came out and the great reviews it got….my first memory of hearing David was the song “Space Oddity” which I really liked at the time but it was a while after that, I think the “Ziggy Stardust” time that I really started to listen to his other stuff and became a huge fan…I think there was a year in the late 70’s that he was almost all I listened to…his double live album being the centerpiece to that time along with “Station to Station”. For some reason, the software that came with my new mp-3 player erased all my Bowie… restoring that seems like a good project for the day…I need to listen to “Young Americans” and “Let’s Dance” today….
RIP David…..
January 11th
Well….it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get anything done…I did go out and have a couple with G and it was pleasant so I may do that again…but that put me way ahead on cocktails so I and feeling it today…slept okay but on my right shoulder and now that pain is added to the back pain that came back yesterday…oh, well….it was only 13 degrees when I went out to get the papers this morning and I was hoping that we wouldn’t see much of that this year…but, it looks like the entire week is going to be cold but I guess it’s Michigan so I just have to get used to it…I could use some more sleep so maybe there will be a nap later….not much to do today…I am going to clean some once I get started and make some pork loin for lunch…and I do have to come back here and do one on David Bowie who died yesterday at 69….rip….
January 10th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I still didn’t get much done…I did get the chance to watch Man U stink up the place again and I am thinking of moving my allegiance to Everton or Spurs….just awful soccer…slept okay and had a few dreams that I don’t remember and that is a shame…the storm that was supposed to be so bad dropped about 2 inches of snow and now it’s over….big deal winter storm….it is winter in Michigan and I can’t understand how they get so breathless when it is going to snow…I will have to clean the car off later today since it is going to be the coldest week of the year so far…my back seems to have plateaued with some pain but it is low enough to live with without painkillers so I can live with it…not much to do today….going to just veg it out and watch some soccer…and maybe clean a little but I’m not sure about that….more later…
January 9th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday but very unproductive….seems like they are all like that these days and I know I don’t like it…slept okay and had the same recurring dream I’ve had for a while now and I’m not sure why…feel okay today but my mood is a little sour with the storm that is coming tonight and through the day tomorrow…could get 8 inches of snow and that will keep me off the bike til spring…that is part of why I’m a little grumpy but I have been able to maintain my weight so far so that is something….and I just noticed my back doesn’t hurt so far today so I guess things could be worse….it looks like the powerball is going to be 800 million tonight and i have my three tickets so there will be a day of hope…and the mega was won last night so I have to check my tickets….not much to do today…going to make some pork stir fry and clean a little but that’s about it….more later….
Oh, happy birthday to Jimmy Page…72 years old today…
January 8th
Well….it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t do much….did get out to have a couple with G but that was about it….slept okay last night but no dreams to speak of so I won’t….my back has continued to improve to the point that there is almost no pain so that is cool….I feel a little worn out today so it will be a lay low day and I will take it easy since the coffee is not working right now….I did get the car washed to get the salt off it just in time for the next snow over the weekend….and the week looks like a cold one that I will hunker down to survive…..not much to do today…..going to make some part of the pork loin I got yesterday and watch some soccer but that is about it….just too low energy to do much more…more later….
Donald, Donald, Donald…
Well…I’ll bet you thought this one was going about Donald Trump but, unfortunately, it about one of my idols, Donald Fagen…one of the founders of Steely Dan. I read yesterday that he was arrested for assaulting his wife…pushing her into a wall and bruising her shoulder…the aftermath of that is that Libby Titus has filed for divorce…as she should…no woman should take this crap and I am so disappointed that the cool hipster personae that Donald cultivated is not true…not sure if I will completely stop listening to his stuff since it is such a big part of my life and maybe I should not be so judgmental in this case…but, as I taught my 3 boys, it is NEVER okay for any man to physically bully or hurt a woman…NEVER….no exceptions….another person I looked up to disappointing me…I hate this crap….
January 7th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I won at pool so that was cool…and I made some cash so there will be groceries for another week…slept a little better last night but still up and down most of the night…feel okay this morning, though, so no damage there….and my back still continues to improve with almost no pain this morning so I am hoping we’re going to get to the point that it doesn’t hurt at all…didn’t win the powerball last night but already have my tickets for Sat’s drawing….675 million bucks and you can always hope….running late today with deciding to do the grocery run this morning but that gets it out of the way for the rest of the week….going to have to clean out the freezer today since it is full of carcases and that will make me decide what soup I want to make next week…probably the ham again since I have 3 ham bones in there…not much to do today…going to wash the car to get the salt off it but that is about it…probably should clean and do some other stuff around here but we’ll see…more later…
