Well….it was an okay day yesterday but the damn furnace quit here…late….it is such a pain have to prepare for the service guys to come…they did get it done but have to come back to make adjustments to spark plug that lights the flame….slept really crappy last night and I think I may have gotten around 3 hours total so there will be a nap later…my back is improving in increments and I can now get up and down without much pain…still thinking it may be my hip that is partly to blame…..might have a little bug, have been coughing some and a little warm…oh, well….not much to do today…pool, maybe, and then some stuff around here when I get home…more later….

A new one….
Well….it has been another of those days when i have struggled to find a topic that interests me…I could have done one on the new gun background check stuff but the responses are just too damn predictable….talk about new requirements…gun sales and gun stocks go up….man, what a weird damn country we live in….I did have a little good news with my back today…looks like I may have turned the corner since it has only hurt a little today and I have been able to bend over and stand and sit with no sharp spikes so that is a good thing….I could talk about the weather and how damn cold it was this morning…8 degrees and had to warm the car up for quite a while…but, the good thing is that there is no big snow coming for at least the next week and I may be able to get out on the trail later in the week….okay…I need to make some dinner so I’ll end here…better ones tomorrow…
January 5th
Well…running really late this morning and I can’t figure out why other than I feel quite weird…..just off and strange…slept okay but it is 11 degrees outside and that make it cold in here…hmmmm…that’s not really related is it? That’s how I feel…kind of disjointed and fuzzy….didn’t get anything done yesterday, either, and today is going to be the same if it continues like the past couple of hours….and, the coffee doesn’t seem to be helping yet…might have to make more to get through this….at least my back seems to be better this morning..I wonder what will happen when everything starts to fail….not much to do today….I am going to just survive this morning and see how I feel later…..I do have some stuff I need to do but it may be able to wait until tomorrow…..more later…
January 4th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get much done…again…that’s starting to be a pattern and I’m sure I don’t like it…slept okay but no dreams again and that is not annoying but puzzling…still can’t get on the bike and the calorie reduction is sapping all of my energy but there really is nothing else to do…my back seems to have plateaued with some pain but not a lot so I guess I can live with it….just like the tendon pain that seems to move around my body at random….it is a bitch getting older…I am a little chagrined that T didn’t say goodbye before she left for the Bahamas but I’ll get over it….winter is here and it was cold cleaning the car in shorts this morning and the temp is only supposed to get into the teens tomorrow…I am glad I bought the battery booster so I don’t have to worry about the car starting…not much to do today…have an errand to run this morning but that is about it…and more coffee that I need right now…more later….
January 3rd
Well….it was a nothing day yesterday and I got nothing done…slept okay last night but had no dreams so that is a little disappointing…my back is a little better today but I am really grumpy since I haven’t been on the bike in a week…I do need to reset the computer on the bike to keep track of this years mileage….I have been successful in keeping the calorie intake down but that leaves my stomach a little hinky and irritated but I guess I’ll have to live with it…my back is a little better today and I have been wondering if it’s not my hip instead of my back…will have to think about that today…I did get to watch “The Hateful Eight” last night and I’m not sure if I liked it or not…kind of complicated and reminded me of “the Petrified Forest”…..not much to do today…going to watch soccer now and have more coffee but that is about it….more later…
January 2nd
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I made some cash so there will be groceries this week…slept okay last night but no dreams to speak of so I won’t….with all of the sports on, I didn’t get anything done and today looks the same with Man U playing at 10 and then right into the Wings at 1….my back has been holding up so far but the twinges have started so it will get worse as the day goes on….I think I have a cold, too, so I won’t be doing a lot today…have been coughing this morning so there is something going on…just going to make tacos for lunch and then do a little cleaning….might just go out and ride the bike around the complex since the trails are covered with ice and snow…not much to do today….oh, I’ve already talked about what I’m going to do…so, going to go back to the couch and have more coffee…more later…
January 1st
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I didn’t get anything done…again….and today is going to much the same but I am going to make a little cash so that is cool…and lunch at Ming Ten so I won’t have to cook today….slept okay last night and had some weird dreams again that happened after I woke up…yeah…I was barely sleeping and there were dreams continuing and I don’t remember that happening before….it was an ugly night for sports last night with MSU and the Wings both being crushed so I have to hang my hope on Michigan today…I am looking forward to that game but will miss part of it since I will be out to lunch…I am going to do one on the new year starting later today but I don’t want to touch on that now….not much to do today….going to just veg until I need to head out and then it will be football the rest of the day….more later….
Last one for the year…
Well…needed to do one more to get to the goal for the month so I thought I’d get it done before the college playoffs start in a few minutes…it has been a year this year…lots of disappointments…lots of laughs…and a car that has gone another year without having to be repaired at all. I wonder why I’m still optimistic after more thousands of resumes out and no bite for more than 6 months…but what else do you do? The kids are all healthy and happy and that is pretty cool…and I’m going out to meet K for a couple in a little while to start the evening off…I am a little down since T is going to be gone on vacation for the next two weeks but she sure needs the recharge how hard she works…and I get new soap that she brings me from the Bahamas every year which is pretty cool….not sure what the new year will bring but at least I get another one and I get this weekend of football and movies and that, too makes me smile…so, we start this whole thing again tomorrow and we’ll see where it goes from here….
December 31st
Well…running a little late this morning since Cheers and Jeers at Kos was longer than normal and I wanted to read it before I got to this…slept okay last night and had weird dreams that had my old, old Motorola flip phone and my new battery booster in it…yeah, and the rest of it was ever weirder but I don’t remember much of it….my back is a little better today and I think the ibuprofen worked to get some of the inflammation down in the muscles so I think I’ll keep that up today and see if I can get a pain free day….didn’t do much else yesterday but I did try to get a bike ride in and that didn’t work with the trail covered in ice and snow…and it looks like I won’t be able to get on it until next week unless I want to ride on the road and I don’t…not much to do today…it is going to be a sports day with the Wings and State playing later…I may even watch the early playoff game, too so it looks like a pretty veggie one for me…two more later…
December 30th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I got some things done for a change…the bathroom is now spider-free for the first time in weeks and I can see in the mirrors…it really wasn’t that bad but the shower did need a cleaning…slept okay last night and feel okay today…but my back is starting to make me angry…the day starts out okay and then the pain comes on as the day goes on…it is better than it was and one ibuprofen knocks most of the pain down so I guess I shouldn’t bitch too much….I am a little grumpy with not being able to get on the bike for the third day today but I may suit up and just go take a look to see how covered the trails are…not going to be warm enough to melt them for the next couple of days so I guess I won’t get to 3K miles for the year…only 35 miles short so that’s okay…not much to do today…going to clean some more and watch some soccer but that is about it….more later….
