Part two…

Well…it has been a total veg day today with just watching races, soccer, and cooking…I did make this huge ham today that I will have to freeze a couple pounds from…or more, really, since it is so huge….I did hear from all of the kids but one today for father’s day and that was kind of nice but I don’t really celebrate it….the allergies are crazy with all of the hot weather and I have been miserable all day today…I may have a couple of cocktails tonight to watch the end of “The Killing” but, with being up since about 5, I am going to bed early…probably at 10 when the show is over…I have been falling behind but politics have been so depressing that I don’t want to think about it…how in the world can the liar Romney even be in the race? I guess stupidity runs rampant in the American electorate…

June 17th

Well…it was a bust of a day yesterday with the party being so boring I took off after a couple of hours…got wet coming home when the skies just opened up when I had the top down…had to stop under an overpass to put it up…it was okay until it started to rain as hard as I can remember and the wind was whipping the rain into the car…it was nice to get home here and just hang out the rest of the night and that looks like the plan for today…it is so damn humid that I am damp…I may have to put the air on in a while to just dry things out…not much to do today…going to cook this huge ham that I bought for 99 cents a pound and then just watch races and soccer….I may be back for one later…who knows?

June 16th

Well…running late again today but today I have an excuse of sorts…I was out on the bike at 6:30 and then over to Meijers to get that done before the start of the LeMans race…I know it’s a 24 hour race but I wanted to see the start and the lead in….it was a tiny bunny alert on the trail today and I counted over 60 of them in 15 miles…they were much less skittish than usual at that time in the morning with some of them just sitting there as I rode by…I was a little surprised that there were so many people out at that time in the morning and everything looked different with the sun in my face…neat, though….I do have things to do today…have a bash out at Wabasis lake to go to this aft and the car is waxed and ready to go….I did try some new wax yesterday that is the the easiest thing I have ever used and will never go back to anything else…just spray on and wipe off…no white crap to take off and it make a really nice shine….so, that means that I won’t be back for another one today…or probably won’t…who knows?

June 15th

Well…running late today…and as you probably noticed, I didn’t come back for another one yesterday…plans changed, things happened, and I decided to go out to shoot pool instead…and I won the week so that was cool….but, with that, I feel a little crappy today and don’t have a lot running around in my head so I’m going to keep this one short…I want to wash the car before I go read the papers so I can wax it later….and I have things to get done around here today…I’m not sure if the spray on sunscreen works that well since I feel burned today and it is a 30…we’ll see…more later…

June 14th

Well….it was a day yesterday but I didn’t do much…just some work around here and then some soccer…and then so much boredom last night that I re-read the last three days of papers while I had the Tigers and Cubs game on…slept a little better last night but was up at 3:30 and that is getting old but there were more than 4 hours of sleep so I guess I shouldn’t bitch…there were dreams that I don’t remember and I slept wrong again so my right shoulder/neck hurts like crazy….I was good, too, so I feel pretty good…and that is good since I have a pretty full day starting with the grocery run and then errands and a trip out to Cascade….and the first new episode of “Burn Notice” for summer is on later so there will need to be a cocktail or two to watch it…I will be back for more later and it may even be a good one so come on back…

June 13th

Well…it was a day yesterday with a nice lunch with T and then out to hang out with G for a while last night…and I got a bunch of work done around here yesterday, too, so at least I’m keeping moving..I did take the day off from working out and riding the bike since I was so busy but I’ll go back to the normal routine today…I still have a bunch of stuff to do around here to get things squared away so the boredom may be kept at bay for a while….I did have some weird dreams that included my old 77 New Yorker and junkyards but when it got out of hand, I just woke up so there was no lasting damage. Not much to do today…see, I’m trying to get back to the basics….I do want to go out and get the papers but I’m not sure if it’s a coffee shop day or not…my neck is still hurting today but we’ll try the ibuprofen again and I hope it helps…more later….

I think I’m in withdrawal…

Well…just a couple of months ago if someone had told me that I would be disinterested in politics, I would have just laughed my head off..after all, politics have been my lifeblood for as long as I can remember and the thought of not spending a large part of my day reading, thinking, and talking about it just is wrong…at least it was…but, now, I can’t get very interested or work up the outrage necessary to write the kind of fiery stuff that I used to do…the stuff that was dripping with sarcasm for idiots and never suffering fools gladly…I’m not sure when the change happened but I may be going through withdrawal from it…even though it doesn’t really feel that way…maybe the crushing boredom of being unemployed is part of it; I know that I have lost interest in the nonsense that comes from the right and the fact that with Citizens United, they can buy any election they want and no fact or bit of honesty can counteract it…I will keep trying, and trying, and trying, though…until it gets to the point that I can’t muster the strength to go on…I would like to get to 2,000….

June 12th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t really accomplish anything except getting the bathroom cleaned…but it really needed it so maybe that was enough…went to bed late and was up really early and I’m not sure how long I can keep up only sleeping 4 to 5 hours a night…I guess we’ll see….there were dreams last night but the took an unusual pattern in that the vivid ones came really early in the night…and I did get shot 4 times but it was only a .22 so I survived it and was just really irritated….I should feel better than I do today since I was really good yesterday but the allergies are now a constant so that could be it…not much to do today…well…I do have some things to do if I decide to do them…but I’m not sure yet….I will come back to try to get caught up today….there has to be something to comment on….the world is still turning, after all….

June 11th

Well…it was a long day yesterday but I won at pool so that was okay…and I did get the new glasses so I can see really well now…didn’t know that I needed stronger ones until I got to the store and compared the old ones with the new ones…all the way up to 1.25 magnification…yeah, I know, that’s still not much when they go up to 3 so I guess I shouldn’t feel that bad about it…I feel a little crappy today since the pain that has been in my left neck has moved to the right now….I could say that it is a pain in the neck but that is just too bad of a pun…it looks like a normal day today with working out in a bit along with the bike ride and I am going to take it a little easy to heal up some….so, I’ll be back later for another one…I am behind again…

June 10th

Well…it was an interesting day yesterday and I had lots of stuff to do so that made the day go by really quickly…went to T’s son’s graduation party and I’m glad I went…she was really happy that I came and I got the chance to meet T’s brother and hang out with her parents for a while…I now really know where she gets her oddness…but, that oddness is a good thing…then, I met up with the twins over at Rose’s for a couple…I can’t believe I’ve driven my new car over 600 miles already…I did break my glasses a couple of days back and need to go out this morning and get a couple of new pairs…was waiting for them to go on sale and they are now so I can get two for the price of one….I do have things to do today…it’s only about 8:20 and I am getting ready to get on the bike already and then, out to shoot pool this aft….I may have to use the air in the car today…it’s going to be 90…yow…more later…
