April 23rd

Well…it was a lost day yesterday since I was feeling so crappy…not sure what the heck it was but I think I still have it today…I’m still coughing and warm so there must be a reason…could be allergies but I haven’t been out of here in a couple of days so I’m not sure about that…I did sleep okay last night but again, no dreams to speak of…I have been really lazy about doing this and I think I’m about 5 behind for the month so I will be getting to it today and trying to get caught up…so, that means I have to go out and get the papers or I won’t have enough to talk about….didn’t even ride the bike yesterday with the winds almost 20…it just makes it so unpleasant that it isn’t fun…might have another day like that today but we’ll see…not much to do today….what happens will hinge on whether I feel better today or not….right now, it looks like I might feel better but I won’t know for a while…more later…

April 22nd

Well…it was a day yesterday but I made some cash so that was a plus….and I feel okay today after taking care of myself and getting a long ride in but where the heck are the 70 degree temps that we had last month? It is getting to be a pain to go out still in a sweatshirt and having my hands be cold….it is Sunday and I really have nothing to do today but clean the bathroom and watch Man U..but the F1 race is on, too, and that makes it a little difficult….I did sleep okay but no dreams to speak of…and that makes it boring…but, I’m used to it…okay…going back to the race…I’ll be back later for more…

April 21st

Well….running normally for a Saturday but there is a huge amount of disappointment weighing on me with the Wings loss last night putting them out of the playoffs…..not sure why this affects me so much but going out in the first round means that there will be big changes to the team next year and I am always uneasy when that happens….oh, well…I’m still broke and looking for work and will probably will be for a while so I guess I should focus on that…I did have the day off from riding yesterday since it rained all day but today will be different with the sun shining already….I do have to wait for the temp to come up, though, since it is in the 30′s and I just don’t want to be cold….I did make a whole wheat crust pizza yesterday and it was not up to my expectations so I think I’ll save that flour for making bread instead….and the crust stuck to my pan and I ruined it trying to get it unstuck….never happened with normal flour…not much to do today….have a couple of errands to run this morning and then not much else….I may try to come back later for another one but that will hinge on how I feel….

April 20th

Well….I didn’t come back for a second one yesterday since I went out to shoot pool with Tom in the aft…and I even won the week but that took me away from being healthy and I feel like crap today….so this one is going to be short for now…I didn’t eat nearly enough yesterday and that takes away all of my energy…so, I think I’ll even have breakfast today…not sure what it will be but I do need to do something…I am really craving a bagel with cream cheese but I don’t think I’ll get some…more later…

Okay…after the papers and a couple of cups of coffee, I’m back to try to do my job…it is such a dark, melancholy day today that I’m not sure how successful I’m going to be with this…and I seem to be on some weird emotional roller coaster that has me every which way this morning…and now the rain has started and the sound that is normally comforting has a grating edge to it like the world is trying to piss me off for some reason….or, I’m just on edge from yesterday…not that anything happened out of the ordinary….it’s like just being is a lot of work today….hmmmm…….well…I will be back in a while to do one on the Wings and maybe some politics…who knows?

April 19th

Well…it was a pretty good day yesterday and I had some unexpected money come in so I am going to go crazy at the grocery store this morning…not crazy, really, but I am going to restock the pantry and freezer and get the ingredients to make homemade pizza tomorrow….I think I’m going to try whole wheat flour to make it healthier when I make my own crust….I feel pretty good today with the liver and kidneys getting a rest this week…I really do think I’ll extend my fast into next week since I keep getting up and feeling better every day….it is already 56 degrees outside so I will get the bike ride in early today and maybe even do the 30 that I have been avoiding with it being a little too cold over the past week or so….not much to do today….I am going to splurge on the papers this morning and I am so looking forward to feeling the newsprint in my hands while I listen to music and have coffee…and I will be back for a political one since my lucidity has returned…yay…

Trying to get caught up…

Well…I really try to not do filler ones just to reach my numbers for the month but there are times that I just want to noodle around and see what happens…something like a musician that just jams a little to see what happens…now, I’m surely not comparing myself a musician since I really don’t have that talent…although, I was first chair in the middle school band playing the cornet for about a day…but, that’s another story for another time…oh, back to the noodling thing…it’s been a weird couple of weeks without much motivation to do the things that I should be doing…like cleaning, or looking for work and the discouragement of looking for so long with no results is starting to wear on me….so, I’ve a taken a few days off to just feel better and get my brain working again with some success…and I do feel better after trying to stay healthier over the past week and it feels so good I think I’ll keep it up for another…I do have to start thinking about a new car of some sort since the Mazda is dying at an ever increasing pace and I will not put any more money into it….so, how do I find a Miata for under 4 grand? Not sure yet but I am going to give it a try…okay….that’s about it for now…I could do more of these later if the urge strikes…

April 18th

Well…a disappointing day yesterday with another Wings loss…and with that loss, the playoff beard came off this morning and I don’t mind that at all…I was starting to look like an old homeless guy and that was not good….I’m 5 days into taking care of myself and I feel quite good again today so I think I’ll keep it up for the whole week….not much in the way of dreams last night but I’m still not sleeping that well so that might be it….I did get back on the bike yesterday and it felt quite good to get exercise again…looks like it will be warm enough to go out again today so that is something to look forward to…not much else to do today…I did get some cleaning done yesterday and I think I’ll keep that up and get the living room done today….that’s about it…I do have some topics for later so I’ll be back for more…

April 17th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday with lunch with T and then out with G for a couple but the weather was so crappy with the high wind that I took a second day off the bike but I hope to get back out today and get some miles in…I was disappointed with the last Wings game and the loss but I am looking forward to them tying up the series tonight…will be in full gear again…but if they lose, I do get to shave the playoff beard off….it itches like crazy and I look like some old homeless guy…sleep was okay last night but no dreams again so it was not as refreshing as it should be and that is getting frustrating….not much to do today….I did get the taxes in and only owed 196 bucks so that was a pleasant surprise and I may just celebrate that with some fast food for the first time in over a year….but, I may not…who knows? More later….

April 16th

Well…it was a lazy recovery day yesterday and I think it was what I needed to start to feel better…the allergies have started to act up again but I think I can survive it….a disappointing Wings game with another loss but I’m not ready to give up yet…I do have the playoff beard going, after all, and that has to count for something….I really haven’t been into politics lately with Keith getting fired and not going out for the newspapers every day but I will try to get one of those out today…I do have to do the taxes today, too, but that is about a 10 minute process with how simple my return is…not much to do today…I do have lunch with T today and then meeting up with G later for a couple but that is about it….unless the wind calms down, I won’t be riding for a second day and my legs are thanking me….but, the rest of me needs to get out but I may have to wait until tomorrow…who knows? More later…

April 15th

Well…it was a recovery day yesterday and I feel much better today but still warm so I think the process is not complete yet…the coffee tastes crappy and I’m just in a lousy mood right now…so this one will be short and I’ll try to at least be civil…it looks like the rain is going to move off later this morning so I may be able to get out on the bike later…but that will have to be after the Wings game at noon….and there is a Man U match on at 11 so I need to get everything done before that…yeah, I laughed at that one, too…this is really the only thing I have to do today….so I guess accomplishing that is going to be easy since I am done…more later…
