July 24th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and day three of being good so I feel okay today..still not sleeping but that’s a good tradeoff for me….it was finally cool last night and it is still that way this morning…might even have to wait a while to get on the bike until it warms up…but, that’s okay….I did hear from T this morning which was kind of cool and I may even have things to do today…I am going to continue the roll I’m on cleaning…the bathroom needs to be done and I am going to get to it today…even had two resumes go out yesterday and am hoping for at least a couple more today….but, right now, I need to have some more water and just veg a few minutes…more later…

July 23rd

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t do much…I did finally get some of the cleaning done and a little other work so I feel better about that…slept like crap again last night and I am feeling exhausted today…but I am into the third day of no cocktails and I know I’ll feel better even without the sleep…I think I do need to get some allergy stuff since I was plugged up and almost choking all night which didn’t help…not much to do today…might meet up with T for a little while and I am going to continue to clean today but that is about it….just another boring day in GR…

Suicide birds….

Well…I have been trying to remember to do a trail weirdness one every week but my memory has not been doing it’s job lately…today there was some weirdness that I really want to report before I forget it, though, so here goes…as the title says today was suicide bird day on the trail…with all kinds of birds just darting out in front of me all along the trail…and not just one type of bird, either…there were blue jays, sparrows, goldfinches, and one robin who cut out of the trees, turned right down the trail and flew just in front of my bike for at least 20 feet…close enough that I could have reached out and caught it if I was just a little faster….not behavior that I have seen in a while…or maybe ever….that, along with the female red-tailed hawk who sat about 6 feet away from me while I had a water break the other day…birds are going crazy and I am not sure why….

July 22nd

Well…it was an okay day yesterday with a nice little running conversation with T that made me smile…first day of recovery after the birthday week and I am already feeling much better so that is a good thing…sleep was crappy so that kind of offsets being good but I am going to go until Thurs being good just to see how it works out….I am really sore from jumping in the pool Sat at K’s using all the new muscles but I guess aspirin will take care of that.,..I hope, I do need to get some stuff done today…mostly cleaning since I have been really lazy about that lately but I think baby steps will help…I do need to go over to Kos and do a couple of comments…more later….

July 21st

Well…it was a long day yesterday but I had some fun at K’s….I am really worn out today but it is the start of the being good week so I will start to get better soon and should feel great in a couple of days…it was a long birthday week….slept okay last night but no dreams again..oh, well…I am behind on these so I will need to come back for two more today but right now I am going to get on the bike and burn out some of the toxins….more later…

July 20th

Well…it was a good day yesterday but I got my butt kicked at pool…just couldn’t shoot at all but that’s okay…I am happy that some of the heat is gone…it was getting wearing to have it over 90 all the time and to be constantly damp…looks to be a little nicer today but we’ll see after I get out on the bike in a couple of minutes….today is the last day of the birthday week and I am kind of looking forward to no more cocktails for a week or so…just feel so bloated and I am tired, too, so it will be good to be good…not much to do today…I do have a little bash over at K’s this aft but that won’t last too long and then just a veg day the rest of the day….should take a look in the freezer to see what to thaw for tomorrow…more later…

July 19th

Well….getting an early start today today for some reason…feel a little crappy after a cocktail night but I did break down and run the air early last night…just got tired of being damp and walking on damp carpets…slept okay but again no dreams….I did get a lot done yesterday so I feel okay about that and I’m not sure what is going on today….Tom’s shift might have changed so there may be no pool today but it looks like there may be storms to watch so that will be cool…and then the weather breaks tomorrow…I do have to do another grocery run today but that is about it…more later…

July 18th

Well…running kind of normal today but barely survived the day yesterday with it being so hot…and the sleep was really crappy again for the same reason…looks like more of the same today but I have lots of stuff to do so we’ll see how that works out…work around here and then out for some errands so it looks like I’m going to skip the workout this morning, get the work done and then get out on the bike….I can always work out tomorrow and sat to make up for it….or maybe just eat veggies and call it good….more later…

July 17th

Well…running really late again today…I did have to go out for some groceries but I could have done this before….but, the heat is taking a lot out of me and the lack of sleep is not helping…might have to run the air tonight to just dry this place out…it was weird this morning when someone left me a gel seat cover hanging on my door….not sure if I’ll use it or not but it sure was different….I am sitting here at 9:30 and I’m already sweating through my clothes…it’s going to be a hot ride out there and I should get going before it gets too hot….other than that…not much to do today…going to just lay low and try to not dehydrate too much…more later…

July 16th

Well…as you can see, I didn’t come back for another yesterday…I have an excuse…and you know it…birthday and all of that…had a nice lunch with T and then out to dinner with G and then out for drinks after that so I am worn out today…and not feeling any different so that is a good sign…it is already hot outside (and inside) so it is going to be a chore to get on the bike…after all of the festivities from yesterday…I am looking forward to just having a normal recovery day today and then back at it tomorrow…not much to do today…as I said, just a normal recovery day and I think I will just let the day go as it goes…no ambition for anything else…more later…
