January 16th

Well…it was a day yesterday and I didn’t get much done but the few things I had to do around here…but I have gotten an early start today and have laundry running already and will cook something for lunch…slept okay but had another of the technology dreams that have been dogging me lately…was in NYC trying to find my son to hang out with him for a while but all of my equipment (phone, computer, etc.) had turned into Apple stuff the I couldn’t figure out how to use…pretty weird…I have been good all week and with tonight, it will be 5 days of it…have quite a bit of energy since I forced myself to eat yesterday but I’m not sure if I can keep that up today….habits are hard to break…the brakes on the car have been working for 6 days now and I am creeping up on calling it fixed but the failure is still in the back of my mind and I’m not sure if I’m there yet….not much to do today….I do need to clean this place and maybe get going on the new novel…want to mine the darkness I have been feeling lately…more later…

January 15th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I had a little fun going out to hang with G for a while…okay, too long of  a while but things happen sometimes…slept okay and that is two in a row so I’m not sure what is going on…maybe I’m adjusting to being good? I know I feel much, much better and this week I’ll keep the cocktail nights down to two…which I want to be the pattern anyway since I do have to remember my health and do everything to keep it…the brakes on the car seem to be fixed since it has been 4 days since I worked on them and there has been no repeat of the no brakes problem…it would be good to get through the winter without having to work on it again…getting too old to get out in the snow, and wouldn’t know what to do if the pins weren’t the problem….not much to do today…I do have to get some stuff done around here and get some resumes out but that is about it…yep, boring, I know, but that’s life right now….more later…

January 14th

Well…it was just another day yesterday…I did have a little fun so that was good…slept okay last night and with being good, I feel okay today…wonder if I’ll get to like this so much that I’ll be good all the time? Never know….I do need to make sure I eat enough today since the past two have been low and I am feeling it a little…I am a little surprised I haven’t heard from T from the Bahamas…maybe this will be her way of ending things? Oh, well…has been coming for a while now and with not hearing from her for two weeks, the transition will be easier than it was the last two times…not much to do today…I do have to work out and then make a run over to C’s house to check it out and make sure the water is working right…but that is  about it…more later…

January 13th

Well..just lost the post that I just wrote so this one will be a placeholder until I remember what I wrote….not sure if I like the new software for my site..this is the second one in a week that I’ve lost and it is getting irritating…the car worked this morning but I’m not sure if it’s fixed or not yet…will probably need to wait until later in the week to be sure….I do have some stuff to do today…errands this morning and then meeting up with a  friend from my younger years I haven’t seen in over 25 years…okay, can’t remember what I wrote so I’m going to end here so I can workout….more later…

No motivation…again…

Well…it has been another lost day for me and I just can’t get motivated to do anything…I wonder if I used it all up working on the car yesterday? I’m still not sure if I guessed right on the car and it is still in the back of my mind that I didn’t…normally, there is a clear reason when a car does something weird but the caliper slider pins were not completely dry..I did use lithium grease on them last time but I don’t think it’s high temp enough for the pins…so, this time I used wheel bearing grease and we’ll see how it works…I wonder if my lethargy is caused by not eating enough again? I am just so tired of counting every calorie and not being able to eat anything except what is planned for the day….I wish this weather would keep up for another week and I could get back on the bike…with having the player working again I really can’t wait…and I know it makes me feel better when I do ride….oh, one last thing…if you want to read a good one about the hollowing out of the middle class, go over to Kos today and look at the one that Hunter just published…love his work and he just nails the despair that comes with the rigged economic system…

January 12th

Well…it was a day yesterday but I didn’t do much..there was a “Game of Thrones” marathon on HBO that I got sucked into…there wasn’t really much else to do…I did work on the car and might have the braking issue fixed with greasing the slider pins on the front calipers…at least it worked going out to get the paper this morning…I lost one of the anti rattle springs, though so I have to try to find another one…might be hard with the car being so old…it will still works without it so no big hurry…slept crappy again last night but that is normal now so I really don’t care anymore….not much to do today…there are still the HBO and showtime free previews today so I may be able to find a movie or two to watch but that is about it…more later…

January 11th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I have started to have brake problems on the car…think the caliper is hanging up on the right side front so I think I’ll have to take it apart Monday and grease the slider pins…I did win at pool again so that was okay but I do feel like crap today for some reason….slept okay…no, not really, slept crappy so maybe that’s it? I do hope the rain continues or the sun comes out to keep the melt going…need to get the snow piles down a little so I can see over them…as you can see, I only did one yesterday but that will be fixed today since there are topics again with congress back from it’s continual vacation and the stupid is flowing again from the right..okay, not feeling this so I’m going to stop and have more coffee…

January 10th

Well…just noticed that yesterday’s first post has disappeared and I’m not sure what happened…might be the new software that runs this thing…so, I guess I’ll have to update…it was just a normal day yesterday but I did go over to C’s house to get the water heater turned on so they could show it…have to go back over there this morning to shut the place down so he doesn’t have to spend 50 bucks on gas to come down and back…slept okay last night but had some disturbing dreams…not the happy ones I normally have but I guess the plus is that I had dreams two days in a row…yesterday’s were about cell phone problems and were related to real cell phone problems that I had…not being able to get texts…had to go over to Verizon to get those fixed but they couldn’t figure them out…just started to work again on it’s own…not much to do today..getting ready to head across town and then back here for a while before I head out for pool later…more later…

January 8th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and, with being good, I feel okay this morning…even slept okay which is really weird given how bad it has been lately…maybe it was the 4 hours I got yesterday? The rest of the day was just like all of the others but it looks like I made it through the “polar vortex” okay….the car started fine this morning and it is going to get warmer so the worst is over…I was even out in shorts this morning to clean off the car and warm it up…the lack of wind helped, though…not much to do today…have to meet up with C at his house that he has for sale to help with getting it ready to be shown tomorrow and then close it back down Friday morning but that’s no big deal…then, just more of these and resumes….more later…

January 7th

Well…running really, really late today with trying to get the driver’s door on the car thawed so I could get in it…had to run an errand yesterday where I had to get in the passenger’s door and climb over the shifter to get it…it’s hard enough for me to get in it normally but this one hurt both my hips and I am sore today…I did make up a brine solution that I heated in the microwave that opened it fine even at zero  this morning….and, the damn radar detector died yesterday so I guess I’ll have to go without one for a while and just slow down…slept really crappy last night didn’t get to sleep until one and then back up at 5:30 so today is going to be a low energy one…not much to do today…going to finish my coffee and read the news and then make lunch but that is about it…more later….
