Well….it was a long day yesterday but I won at pool again so that was okay….I feel like crap today, though, and I know it was the new otc sleep aid that I took to try to get at least a little sleep…won’t do that again since I feel like I’ve been walking around in cement all morning and have been drinking the whole time….I wonder if I should try some of the natural ones they have? That could not possibly be as bad as this one…or maybe I should just get used to the fact that I just don’t sleep as much as other people…after all, I got through college with only 3-4 hours a night…maybe I just don’t need as much. As you can see…I’m running late today with having such a problem getting going and then making the trip over to G’s….not much to do today…the Olympics have started so that will be the primary focus for the next couple of weeks…I do have to get a ride in, too since I need to burn off this sleep stuff…

Well…it is a melancholy day this morning for some reason…yesterday was one of my older brother’s birthday who died when I was a kid and I remember it every year for some reason…but that’s not the source…or, I don’t think it is…I’ve been paralyzed for the past couple of days and I’m not sure what that is either…lot’s of insight pouring out of me today and I’m not even sure why I’m here right now…have been up since 5 or so but that’s not unusual…I’m feeling kind of disjointed today so this one is going to be a free flowing, not making much sense one…I did have a thought that I miss the car brand Pontiac..not sure why about that either since I never owned one and I don’t miss the rest of them that have disappeared over the years….there were dreams last night that included the tv show “Las Vegas” and James Caan and taking the wrong shuttle bus…not much to do today…I am going to do the grocery run today since I do need some protein and I have none left here….and I have been good all week so I might splurge a little….more later….
July 24th
Well…it was a recovery day yesterday and I was really good so I should feel better today but it’s not happening yet….might have to go back to the OTC sleep aids again for a while since I think I have whiplash from tossing and turning all night…and, even being good, my brain is still not working as well as it should….it looks like it may be a rain day today so the top will have to stay up on the car which takes away a lot of it’s appeal….but, I do have things to do today so I guess I’ll have to suck it up and get them done…might just have to take a day off from riding…darn….more later…
July 23rd
Well…it was a day yesterday…a long one to be sure but I did win at pool so that is something…and, as you know, since it was a pool day, I feel pretty crappy this morning and the brain is not working so this one is going to be short….it is already 8 so I need to get going and have coffee and the papers…I will be back for more later…
Okay….I did come back for a few minutes as you can see from the post above…I am feeling much better after the bike ride but I’m still not eating enough…only 3 tacos today and I just don’t have any appetite again…so it looks like another day of little energy tomorrow since I don’t feel like cooking anything and I don’t have anything to cook anyway…maybe fast food? Nope…I do have a frozen pizza in the fridge that I guess I can do…not much to do today…I’m taking the day off from everything so I think I’ll get back to it…
July 22nd
Well…running late again this morning since I wanted to get the caffeine cycle completed before I got down to this…you know…drink coffee, get jittery, ride bike to burn off the caffeine and then come back here…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t do much but clean the bathroom and do laundry…oh, and watch the Tigers win another one that puts them into first place in their division…not sure why I’ve gotten back into baseball this summer but it has been something to do…not much to do today…it is a pool day so that will be for the aft but that is about it…going to do a political one right now so stay tuned…
July 21st
Well…it was a shocking day yesterday and I am still trying to process the whole tragedy in Colorado….it was a cocktail night so I am a little slow today but I will be getting out on the bike right after F1 qualifying so that will help…and the three cups of coffee might be a bit much but that will burn off on the bike…slept okay but no dreams so nothing to report there and I miss them…I think I may have eaten enough yesterday but I have this taste for tortillas; at least until I looked at how many calories are in them…160 calories for a small one when I can have three hard taco shells for 150…so, I guess I’ll just have to go back to the normal stuff….okay, the third round of qualifying is getting ready to start and it is in the rain so I’m going to go back and watch that…more later…
July 20th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday with the heat breaking a little and finally getting some rain…I do feel a little crappy since I had the first cocktails of the week but I took it easy so it’s not too bad….slept okay for me but that is not saying much…I think I may have eaten enough yesterday so I hope the energy levels will be up over what they have been…I did get the kitchen cleaned yesterday so I feel good about that…that’s about it for now…may meet up with T later today so I am looking forward to that…more later…
July 19th
Well…it was a long day yesterday but it appears that the weather has broken for at least a little while with it raining right now and some comfortable temperatures….I’m still running on empty but I know it’s from trying to survive on 1,000 calories since I still have no appetite…I may have to try some really spicy foods to jump start my taste buds but nothing even remotely interests me so that is going to be problem….I have been good the past few days and I don’t feel any better for it…well….I do feel a little better but the boredom of the nights kind of cancel that out and I’m not sure if I want the trade off….it a conundrum that I will wrestle with until I have to go to the grocery store this morning….not much to do today…it may be good if it continues to rain…might skip the bike ride and let the legs heal again…but, probably not….more later…
July 18th
Well…it was a little disappointing this morning at 5:40 when some storms rolled through with a lot of noise but nothing else…it did trigger some dreams afterward that included riding my bike with a long neck in my hand and a collage of places I’ve been mashed together….and it was a crappy night of sleep so I am a little worn out right now….and there were hundreds of cars parked on the lawn here for some reason….I am getting tired of the heat and I hope it breaks today…it is wearing to be sweating all the time and it is almost too hot to put the top down on the car….not much to do today…more resumes, of course, but I do need to clean this place up since the spiders are taking over and I just don’t like the looks of it….and I am going to try to cut the deficit in half today so come on back and take a look…
July 17th
Well…it was a day yesterday and the day got away from me but you know that since I didn’t come back for a second one…I am exhausted today and not thinking too clearly so this one is going to be short for now…I did have dreams that had T in them but I don’t remember them very well so I won’t report them right now….not much to do today…I am going to try to get out for coffee since I think the lack of coffee yesterday has something to do with the tiredness….and I do need the papers to get back on track….more later…
Okay…that was a HOT ride on the bike and it’s been over for a half hour and I am still dripping…just read an interesting fact in one of the newspapers…we have, on average, 11 days in Michigan that are over 90 degrees every summer, but, so far this year, we are already at 19 and counting…it looks like we will be over double the number by the end of the week…I can’t remember a summer this hot and I’m really old…going to need to put the air on later and run the electric bill up…
