Well….as you can see, I’m running really late today since I wanted to get to the coffee and papers first…and the Arsenal/Norwich match that just ended was a good one….and I’m sitting here waiting to see if the the rain that is over the lake comes onshore…it’s a little too cool to go out and get soaked on the bike…I did sleep okay last night but again, no dreams to speak of and I was up quite early so that will kind of set what kind of a day this is going to be…I do need to clean the kitchen and do a few other things today but I am not really looking forward to it…I really kind of hope it rains so I’ll have an excuse to be lazy…there are races on this aft and it is Kentucky Derby day…should have gotten the ingredients for mint juleps….oh, well…don’t really need the calories….I will try to come back later for another one…especially if it rains….

Well…it was a day yesterday…finally up to the temps that we had in March and the bike ride was way more fun with it hot…and I won at pool so that was good….but I think I may have had the tv up way too loud when I got home so I’ll probably get a letter from the office here…oh, well…I do feel a little crappy today but not as bad as I should so that is a plus but I still can’t really think yet so I think I’ll head back to the couch…it’s just too early….

Okay…got the bike ride in and ate lunch and I feel somewhat better but not 100% yet….so this one is going to continue to be short…there were geese alerts on the trail today with the little ones hatching but no attacks…so that is one thing to be happy about…and the ride was fun so that’s another….okay…going back to the couch and to read the papers so I’ll have a topic for later….

Well….it was a somewhat productive day yesterday and I did get some cleaning and clutter removal done…and I slept okay so I have some energy today and that is a good thing since it is grocery day today….and it is 7 am and it is already 70 degrees with the spring smell finally that makes me smile. I did have dreams last night but they were in a setting that I didn’t recognize…I’ve been in it before but I can’t place it in the real world…it has element of my grandparent’s house in the city but that is about it….I do need to continue the cleaning today and the bike ride will be 30 miles or so…I am going to make tacos today after I get back from groceries…well…not right after but for lunch and it is just me trying to change it up from the pork loins and chicken that I normally eat….and I am going to buy the papers today and leisurely read them with coffee and one of the last bagels….more later…oh, I have been looking forward to some storms for the past few days and today might be the day…..they’ve started to the north already but nothing here yet…

Well…woke up this morning almost immobilized by the pain from working on the car…I didn’t think it was possible to strain every muscle above the waist but it seems like I did and every time I move I discover a new one that hurts….and I feel crooked like I really wrenched my shoulder but we’ll see as the day goes on…slept okay last night but no dreams to speak of but I guess that is okay….I do need the ibuprofen right now and that is what I’m going to do….not much to do today..it looks like there will be storms to watch this morning and I better get moving if I’m going to go out and get the papers on the bike….it’s already almost 60 so at least it will be warm enough…more later….

Well…it was a day of accomplishments yesterday…okay, one accomplishment…got the brakes fixed on the car and I am kicking myself that I didn’t do it sooner…the car actually stops with just a toe on the pedal and no vibrations at all…can’t wait to come down the ramp at Kalamazoo at 80 and wait for the last moment to hit the brakes…the last time it shook so hard I could barely see….but I am sore from breaking the bolts loose and that is going to hurt for a while….other than that…I did go out and have a couple with G…but I was good when I got home so I feel okay today…I have been struggling with topics lately but with a new month starting I will try to do better with no fillers….on that note…I think coffee is in order and along with a bagel with cream cheese…more later…oh, there was a dream last night that was all about high winds and tall buildings and I have no clue where that came from….

Well…I know…it is cheating to just write another one of these to just get to my goal without having anything to say…but, it is not as easy as it looks to come up with two of these every day. And, I still feel like crap for some reason so that is also an excuse…there was some nonsense out of the repubs today about the one year anniversary of OBL being killed and Obama using it in a speech…okay…this is not what I wanted to do so I’m going to stop here…and Man U is behind but still playing so I think I’ll go do that instead…

Well…as you know, I’m running behind for the month and I’m not sure why….so, you know what that is going to mean, that I’m going to have to write a couple that are basically just filler or random thoughts…one thing that I find really interesting out on the trail is how strong the shoots of willow trees are…there are places along the trail where shoots have pushed up through three inches of asphalt like it’s not even there….it was a pretty nice ride but now my back is starting to hurt just adding to the pains that I have from fixing the brakes this morning…91 bucks just in parts but it was necessary to make the car safe again….I did bruise and cut my hand trying to get the rotor off and pulled something in my shoulder trying to get the bolts out of the caliper bracket…so, I’m going to hurt the rest of the day…and I will be back for one more to get to 60….

Well…it was a long day yesterday and I feel a little under the weather today….and I lost at pool so that doesn’t help….I do need to do three of these today to get caught up but I have no idea what the topics will be….even for this one…I do know that Man U is playing this aft and I do need to get the brakes fixed on the car since I decided to replace the rotors, too, and spent 90 bucks for parts…but it is raining so that will have to wait…other than that, not much to do today…need to recover…so, that’s what I’m going to do right now…more ice water and couch….

Well…it was another day yesterday and after it was done, there was not much to say for it….so I won’t…okay, just a little…I did get some cleaning done and my bathroom thanks me so that was something….it was kind of a bore, though, but today is shaping up to be better…if I can get back on the bike, that is….it has been a couple of days of no riding and I can feel it already…but, my legs do feel better so I guess that is okay….and it is pool day out with Tom this aft so that will be a welcome diversion….I do have to work on the car tomorrow…need another set of front brakes but that’s no big deal…I think it’s probably the 10th set since I’ve had it and I can change them out in less than an hour for 20 bucks or so….okay…I’m done for now…need to read the online papers and have another cup of coffee….

Well….this one is going to be short since the papers and coffee are waiting…just had a toasted bagel with cream cheese and that is just right to get the day started….had a busy day yesterday with lots of running around…lunch with T was too much fun, as always, and then I went out to meet up with C for a couple…I am feeling significantly better today even with cocktails last night…but the coffee is getting cold and I need to read the papers…back later for more…

Okay, it’s been a day and I thought I’d come back for a few minutes…I did have weird dreams last night that included a hotel that was infested with mice and many other pests and a manager that didn’t want to deal with them…not much else came out of that one but I thought it was funny….I have gotten things done around here and even got out to run some errands but I am running out of steam so I think I’ll take the rest of the day off and just veg…I may do a political one later but that would mean reading the paper again and I’ve already stacked them….
