Dream weirdness…

Well…with the return of dreams last night, I wanted to comment on it a little bit…not about the dreams per se, but how the process works for me…what I’ve found over the years is that there are incidences where there is danger in the dreams…whether being killed or arrested, or other bad things that you just can’t get out of in the dream. The weird thing is that I’ve developed a coping mechanism that allows me to avoid these dangers when they get to be untenable…I’m able to just shake and then I’m either awake or in another dream where there is no danger…after watching the Matrix the other day, it reminds me of when the agents take over people with a shake…or vibration, whatever you want to call it…the whole thing stemmed from a dream last night where my partner and I were trying to steal some rare old film from a library or something like it when a bunch of guys started to surround us talking into their cuffs like the secret service does…and when one sat down next to me…shake and out….pretty neat, actually….and I lived to tell the tale….

December 10th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I won at pool so that was cool…slept okay last night and had a weird but normal thing happen in the dreams that I am going to do one on later today….to get away from the politics as normal…my back has been good for two days now and I hope it continues…got the bike ride in in shorts yesterday and it looks the same today…it’s supposed to be almost 60 today and I may even get out in a t-shirt and shorts….and it looks even warmer Sat with almost record temps…I can take this all day long and all I can say is thank you El Nino…..have been good all week and I feel pretty good today so I have plans to get a lot done today…I do have to take the bulb out of the center stop light since Tom told me it’s out…hope it’s the same one I have a spare for in the junk drawer….not much to do today…going to do a winter clean up on the car and get it waxed one more time before it starts to turn into winter…going to wait a while to put the snowies on since there is no show in the forecast for the next week…more later….

December 9th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I can’t believe how just adding another pair of gloves affected the bike ride…from freezing my hands so I couldn’t use them to warm is just weird…but okay…slept okay last night and I just noticed my back is not hurting as much as it has been…not as stiff, either, so I have hope that it will be better all day…didn’t get a lot done yesterday but I did watch Man U lose again and they are out of the Champions League, again, they just don’t look like the Man U I am used to and I blame the coach….what a bunch of crap….have been good for the past few days and I am starting to like it so I may just keep it up for the rest of the week…it would be good for me and my wallet….not much to do today…maybe pool but I’m not sure…I am sure that I am going to take the bike ride in shorts today since it is already 45…should be the last one but maybe tomorrow, too since it is going to be in the mid 50’s…more later….

December 8th

Well….it was an okay day yesterday but I froze my hands on the bike and I think they are still numb today….it’s weird how a difference of 3 degrees makes the ride go from pleasant to painful….so, I won’t be doing that again any time soon….slept crappy again last night and I’m sure I don’t like that…it has been tolerable the past month or so and I do don’t want to go back to the up and down all night crap…I thought my back was getting better and it might be but it’s not enough better to say it yet…might have to take the ibuprofen this morning to get ready to get on the bike….the damn phone has been giving me problems and I think I’ll have to head over to Verizon and have them look at it…always giving me a low memory notice and I have deleted over 2K texts and it still does it…can’t afford to buy a new one….not much to do today….not sure about pool but I do have stuff to do around here so I won’t be too bored….and Man U plays this aft so that is another thing…but, they have been playing so terribly that I’m not sure I want to see it…..more later…

December 7th

Well…running a little late this morning…was over at Kos reading some articles and lost track of time…it was an okay day yesterday and I got a nice bike ride in…not sure what the change was from Sat but it was much better so I’ll take it…slept okay last night and my back seems to be a little better today so I’ll take that, too, but we’ll see the extent of the healing as the day progresses….didn’t really get anything done yesterday and the kitchen needs some work so I’ll get on that today…maybe….I do need to try to find some new recipes for chicken since I am in such a rut that I don’t even want to eat anymore…it is so easy to just bake it and that is getting old…maybe use the crock pot? Not much to do today…the normal stuff is about it…I do need to get the snowies on the car this week but I’m not sure if they will be needed…I guess I’ll check the weather channel and see when the next snow will be…I know it’s going to be about 60 later in the week but I think rain comes with that….more later…

December 6th

Well…running a little late this morning since I am having a little trouble getting moving…it was an okay day yesterday and I did get a few things done…finally did the bathroom and today looks like the kitchen will be in the plan…slept okay last night but my back is still killing me and it is really wearing….not sure what to do about it….I did get the bike ride in in the aft since it just didn’t warm up until then but it was just torture and I’m not sure why….just can’t get comfortable on it lately….will try another one today but probably not until the aft again….not much to do today….going to try to get to the kitchen and maybe start the living room but I’m not sure if I’m motivated enough to do that….more later….

December 5th

Well….it was a pretty good day yesterday…bet you didn’t see that coming…had a nice lunch with T that brightened my day and there are not enough of those these days…slept okay last night but my back is still really sore and I’m not sure what to do about it….I did get to put the top down on the way back from lunch and that was fun and I got my December top down run in…didn’t get anything else done yesterday so today has to be different…the bathroom needs a total scrubbing and I will get to that today….there is something weird going on with my phone where some of the apps know where I am even without the GPS turned on…the Weather Channel just did it yesterday adding Cutlerville to the cities and switching automatically to that when I got home….not sure if I am cool with that…not much to do today…need to watch Man U play at 10 so the bike ride will wait until this aft and I may be able to go out in shorts if it warms up enough….more later….

December 4th

Well…running late today and it is because I didn’t get up until 7:20…..I know, that’s is just so odd that I was in bed that late…and I feel pretty crappy today…had the hiccups all night last night and I think that wore me out…it can’t be the cocktails can it? Nope…..slept okay last night and had some dreams that I don’t remember so they couldn’t have been that good…I did get out to have a couple with K last night and it was good to see her…might see her and her sister again this weekend and that would be fun….got a bunch of stuff done yesterday and now I settle into a lull again for a few weeks…still haven’t done the bathroom yet and I don’t think I’ll get to that today…might have lunch with T but I haven’t heard from her so I’m not going to plan on it….not much to do today….need more coffee and a little time to get moving and then I’ll get on the bike….more later….

December 3rd

Well….it was an okay day yesterday and I won at pool for the first time in a month so that was cool…slept okay, too and feel okay today except for the cough that has come back this morning and I can’t figure that out….I have been good all week and I think that is part of feeling good today and I may just continue that for the rest of the week…my back is still giving me fits but I am learning how to deal with it again so I won’t mention that again….I did do the grocery run this morning and I am still on time with this even with having to let the car run for a while to get the ice off it…and now I have food for the week and can change to something other than turkey…that was getting really tiring and it will be good to eat something else…but that something else is chicken so I’m not sure how different that is….not much to do today…I do have lots of stuff to do around here today and then the bike ride and cleaning the bathroom…and I will get to that today….more later….

December 2nd

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but the bike ride was a wet, brutal mess and I think it took me most of the day to get warm after getting back here…almost lost one of the crank arms on it, too, the bolt that holds it on came loose and I had to stop about every quarter mile to tighten it so I wouldn’t lose the bolt….that has never happened before and I’m not sure why it would come loose…and it contributed to making the ride kind of a pain in the butt….slept okay last night and feel pretty good this morning except the back pain that I just can’t get rid of….feels like earlier in the year when the vertebrae got caught and wouldn’t move….making problems for the nerves in my right leg but I guess that’s part of getting older….the weird thing is it doesn’t hurt on the bike…..oh, said that earlier, I think……not much to do today…have an errand to run this morning and then pool this aft but that is about it….have been good for three nights now and I may go the entire week…more later…
