December 1st

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get much done…I did get a nice surprise when I went out to get the papers this morning and with it raining, there were no leaks in the car…weird….slept okay last night and had dreams about earthquakes and the first house I lived in…and there were cameos of lots of people I haven’t seen in years so that was weird but it was also the first time I’ve had a dream in a long time….still haven’t  been able to get my back to crack and I think that may be contributing to the dead legs on the bike…it hurts to move but it doesn’t on the bike and that shouldn’t be….I’m hoping the temp comes up enough this morning to cut back on the thermasuit and go out with no stocking hat….not much to do today…might have pool but I’m not sure about that….and I have some work to do around here so that will help with the boredom…..more later…

Last one….

Well….have gotten to the end of the month and have one more filler to do to make the goal…just haven’t felt it lately and I’m not sure why…it has been kind of depressing November…not compared to last year with it’s 31 inches of snow and below zero temps…but still a little depressing with no job hits and still being broke….and now no cocktails until Thursday at the earliest and maybe none this week…not sure yet….but it will be good for me so I guess I’ll just stop complaining….the bike ride was  a little better today and the legs are better, too, but we’ll see if that continues…okay…I’m about done for the month so I guess I’ll head back to the couch and have a little more ice water….

November 30th

Well…as you know if you read the last one, it was kind of a depressing day yesterday but today is starting out better with Brian leaving a care package of cashews and pistachios on my door this morning…just as I was running out of snacks…slept okay but fell asleep on the couch and that didn’t help the back much…it is still stiff and hurts like crazy….might wait til later to get out on the bike so I can do a half thermasuit today and not wear a stocking cap…not sure if it will get warm enough yet but I can hope….not going to put the snowies on the car yet since it doesn’t look like there will be any snow this week…might do it later in the week but maybe not….not much to do today…just the normal stuff and cleaning the kitchen some but that is about it….and two more of these so I can get to the goal….more later….

A depressing day….

Well…not sure why but today has been a pretty depressing day…didn’t get anything done but cleaning the shower curtain and some small fooling around but that happens every day so that can’t be it….the Wings lost but got a point so that can’t be it….it’s probably that is it getting to the end of the month and the rent is due Tuesday….or that time is passing or that winter is coming….or that my back is really screwed up..or that my legs have been so flat on the bike the past few days that it has been torture….or that I needed a filler post since I am behind for the month…yep…just a depressing day that I am going to try to cure with a cocktail and “The Walking Dead” later…..oh, well….

November 29th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I made a little cash so that was cool…slept okay and feel okay this morning but my damn back is still hurting and the annoyance level is rising….I did get a nice bike ride in yesterday but in full thermasuit and that looks like the ride today since it is only 22 outside….may just wait until the last F1 race is over and some soccer is done to try to go out….would like it to be at least 30….didn’t get much done yesterday and today looks like the same but I may try to do the bathroom and get some other stuff done….had to let the car warm up with all the ice this morning but it looks like we are going to get some okay weather for the next week or so…I can wait to put the snowies on for another week…not much to do today…going to just watch sports and veg out most of the day…more later….

November 28th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I lost at pool…again….I think that’s three in a row….slept okay last night but my back is really sore today so I am not sure about the bike ride today….will probably still try it since it never gets worse on the bike….it will be full thermasuit today since I froze my hands yesterday and it took almost an hour to thaw them out…and it really hurt so I won’t do that again….I didn’t come back here yesterday but that is the norm for pool days so I will have to do a couple today…I do need to do a sports one and there have been things happening that I need to comment on…not much to do today…a big sports day with Man U and Michigan playing at the same time and I have an errand to run….then it will be back here for a veg out….more later….

November 27th

Well….it was an okay day yesterday but I am grumpy this morning…no newspapers to go with my coffee and that just puts me out of sorts…slept okay last night but I am still sore and I need to figure out why I can’t crack my back….it was a total veg out day yesterday but today will be different with pool this aft for the second time this week…will be good to get out…the leak is back in the car and I think it is from not latching it correctly….re latched it and it stopped leaking so I hope that’s it….I really should clean today but I’m not sure I will….there are a few other things I need to get done around here so maybe I’ll just do that….not much to do today…going to try to get the bike ride in later but it is still raining and dark right now so I think I’ll just have coffee and wait a while…more later…

Happy Thanksgiving….

Well…another day of not having any ideas leads me to this…just describing what happened today….I did make a turkey and all the rest of the normal stuff but it was all cleaned up and put away by 2 o’clock….it came out pretty good but I don’ think I’ll use apple juice again….nice and juicy, though, so that was cool….I am still so stuffed that I probably won’t need to eat again for a few days….I did get a bike ride in this morning and only got a little wet…but, I think I’ll say goodbye to the shorts for the year….on the bike anyway and I’ve gotten to t-day in shorts again so I can wear jeans tomorrow if I want…might not but I can….it has been an okay day…but, I am going to end here so I can have a cocktail and watch some shows…

November 26th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get much done…slept okay last night but my back is still sore and it is getting annoying…even hurts down my left leg and that will be bad if it stops raining and I can get out on the bike….I do have the pie in the oven and it smells good in here and that will get even better when I put the turkey in later…brined it over night with rosemary and apple juice and I can’t wait for the one turkey that I make every year….going to slather it with butter so the skin gets brown, too….going to be a lazy day today and I don’t think I’ll do much around here but eat and nap….and come back for a couple of these if I can get some inspiration…oh, I did get something done yesterday…I lubed the bows on the top to get them to stop squeaking….was supposed to meet up with T for a couple but her day got away from her so I didn’t….okay…need more coffee…more later….

November 25th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I lost at pool…again…but that was cool…didn’t put the top down yesterday and it was kind of pleasant being warm but I may drop it today if I go out this aft….slept okay last night and feel pretty good this morning and I’m not sure why….the bug is almost gone and my lungs are so much better but it has taken almost a month to get back where I feel okay…did get a bike ride in yesterday…finally…but had to do the almost full thermasuit…but I now know that I can go out in the mid 30’s and still be comfortable….the two pairs of glove cramped my hands, though, and my right forearm hurts this morning from it….I do have some stuff to get done this morning…need to brine the turkey this morning but that doesn’t take long…not much to do today…may meet up with T for HH later and that will be fun if it happens…..and I need to clean the bathroom but I’ll have plenty of time to do that over the next 4 days…more later….
