October 17th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I won at pool so that was cool…and the drive out and back was a little cold with the top down but I just had to do it…slept okay last night but feel a little slow today…something I hope will be fixed by riding the bike today…it will be nice to get back on it after 4 days off but I won’t be going out until after the Man U match…too darn cold right now with it being under 40 degrees…didn’t get anything else done but that is normal for Friday….still feel sore and I’m not really sure why that would be with not riding…not much to do today…I do have lots of sports today with Man U and the Michigan/State game on later…so, I don’t think I’ll do much but that today….more later…

The bike is fixed….

Well…just  sitting here waiting for the Wings game to start and thought I’d do a little update…the bike is fixed! Got the parts today and put it back together in about a minute…even took it out for a ride before I went out to shoot pool and it works like a champ again….I can’t wait to take it out tomorrow and get back into riding again…but, that will have to wait until after the Man U game at 10…it is going to be really cold in the morning so I wouldn’t be going out anyway….

October 16th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday until I went out to have a couple with G…I guess I’m the worst person in the world since I don’t want to live in the south…and the civil war was not fought to end slavery..geez….other than that it was an okay day and I got a lot done…did the kitchen floor and the entire bathroom and some other cleaning done..got the bike torn apart while I wait for the new sprockets to come…feel pretty crappy today and I’m not sure why…I did have cocktails last night but I never feel this bad…I think part of it not eating enough…can’t wait to get back on the bike so I can eat again…slept okay last night but no dreams to speak of…not much to do today…going to wash the car since the sprinkles of rain yesterday left it spotted but not much else…pool, of course…but then just waiting for the Wings game later….more later…

October 15th

Well..it was an okay day yesterday and I got a bunch of stuff done so that was cool…felt so much better than Tuesday and had some energy but I’m not sure what the problem was…I know part of it is not riding the bike but the rest of it is still a little confusing…have been trying to cut out the 800 cals a day that I usually burn on the bike but I’m not sure that is a good idea at this point…after all, if I don’t ride again until Sat, I will have only gained about 2 pounds that I can burn off once the bike is up again….can double up a few days and get back to it and get to the 25K goal….slept okay last night but it was still a little fitfull but that is normal these days….I am sore everywhere, though, even though I haven’t been on the bike so maybe I should still take the ibuprofen that I normally take before I ride….not much to do today…going to try to clean more today…got the kitchen started but still need to do the floor and that will lead to more pain….but, that’s life right now…more later…

October 14th

Well…it was a crappy day yesterday with feeling exhausted all day and I’m not sure if it’s overshooting the calorie reduction that I need to do with being off the bike for the next few days…slept okay but fitfully and I think that has left me sore today…both of my forearms are aching today and I’m not sure what the heck that is about….didn’t get anything done yesterday but I hope to change that today with some work on the bathroom…with the weather turning colder, the spiders have taken up residence in the bathroom…again…so I need to take care of that soon….but, I still don’t have any energy right now so I guess I’ll have to see how it goes….not much to do today…have to run an errand in a few minutes and then come back here and work out….more later…

A wasted day…

Well…it has been a wasted day today…have felt exhausted and crappy most of the day and I still feel that way…and, I took a hacksaw to my thumb yesterday taking the old chain off my bike since the connecting link wouldn’t come loose…and to top that off, I couldn’t get on the bike today since the rear sprockets are too worn and I am waiting for the new ones to come….so, I am grumpy today without exercise and feeling crappy…and I’m not sure if I’m looking forward to the debate tonight…or even the Wings game that is on in  awhile…I probably should have gotten cocktail materials for the night tonight but I know I need to be good to keep my liver from exploding…so, I guess I’ll just take some ibuprofen for the pain and just settle in for the night…I’m bored….

October 13th

Well…it was a long, busy day yesterday with lots of running around…made a little cash so that was cool, though…but, I had a chain fail on the bike and after getting a new one, the same thing happened as last time…it showed me that the rear gears are worn out again so the bike will be down for a few days while I wait for the new ones to come….only 16 bucks this time so that was cool…slept okay last night and was good so I feel okay this morning with some energy so I may have to get  some stuff done around here since I can’t ride….I do need to work on some stuff around here and clean the bathroom and kitchen but I’m not sure which I’ll get done…and the Wings play tonight along with the dem debate so I will be working the remote again today…not much to do today…cleaning and reading some stuff the my daughter sent me to look at…more later….

October 12th

Well…it was a long day yesterday and I got through it feeling pretty crappy…didn’t get anything done but cooking but I feel good that I even got through that…woke up with the chills this morning and I’m sure that is the bug…and my lungs feel like they are full of something so today will be a low key day…I still plan on getting on the bike in a while since it is warm enough out there already and I don’t want to miss the last few good days that we have….slept okay last night but even with it 75 in here I was under the comforter….so I guess I have an excuse for taking it easy today….I am down to about a hundred miles left to get to 25K so that may happen later in the week….not much to do today…I think I’ll just do the normal stuff to try to burn the virus out and if that doesn’t work, I’ll just take it easy and rest…I will come back for a couple more of these today since I am behind…more later…

October 11th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but busy with going out to meet up with C and then out with K….and I think I’ve got a bug since I am sweating like crazy and coughing and feel like crap….so today looks like an easy one….I may even take the day off the bike….okay…not feeling this right now so I’ll come back later and try again….

Okay…I’m back for a few minutes anyway…I’m sure it’s a bug now since I am warm and coughing like crazy…I did get out on the bike and took a long ride but that didn’t help much….just exhausted and need to go back to the couch for a while…just getting up to do this has taken all my energy…so, there wan’t be much accomplished today…should do the bathroom but that’s just not going to happen….maybe more later….

 

October 10th

Well…it was a long day yesterday and I am feeling it today…had lunch with T and then out to pool…which I lost…and then back here for the Wings and cocktails…today should be easier…slept okay last night but I had to get going early so I can watch F1 qualifying that is going on right now…need more coffee….I did forget to come back here for another one so I do need to do a Red Wings one later today…I usually do one of those to start the season but I just was so worn out yesterday that I couldn’t think…didn’t get anything else done yesterday and today looks much the same with C coming into town and going out to watch the first half of the Michigan game….have to try to find my Michigan gear to wear….it looks like a huge sports day again with Michigan, State, and races going on today…there isn’t any soccer with the international break this week so that will make it a little easier…I do need to get back to F1 so I’ll do that now…more later…
