May 17th

Well…it was a day yesterday and I got a lot of things done so I feel okay about that…and I was good for the 4th day in a row so I feel quite good this morning with lots of energy to get more done today….read an article about self-driving cars yesterday and that translated in to some really weird dreams that had me trusting them and the cars going wrong constantly…no injuries to speak of but lots of property damage…I did get caught up on these yesterday, too, and I hope to keep up the pace today since the day looks pretty dull at this point…I do have the grocery run this morning but that is about it….probably a long ride today this aft, too, and maybe out for a couple with G later…I do have to start evening out the biker tan today since it is looking really weird…more later….

May 16th

Well…it was a nice day yesterday and I was good last night so I feel pretty good today…did 30 miles on the bike yesterday and there are the pains from that to deal with but I don’t hurt anywhere near what I should…might do that again today but that may have to be in the afternoon since it is not going to be too warm today…but it looks like summer weather is returning for the weekend and that will be welcome…..I did have dreams last night but I forgot them in the walk between the bedroom and the couch so they really must have been nothing…I feel good that there were no more bird incidents on the trail yesterday but there were snakes again which was kind of neat to see….not much to do today….need to get motivated to get the golf clubs cleaned up and get them in the car and after the rain last night, I need to wash the car today since the pollen on it is thick enough to have to use the wipers to clean the windshield…I will be back for more later to try to keep up for the month and actually have something to say….

Okay…it’s later and I do have a few things to add to today’s post before I get to the politics of the day….which I think may be a local one for a change…but, first things first…I have had a busy morning this morning and I have felt better than I have in a long time…have loads of energy and that got me to wash the car, work out, go hit a bucket of balls, get the bike ride in, and even repair the duct tape on the car…and, I went over 1,000 miles today for the year which is about 2 months faster than I have ever gotten there..pretty cool…and I’m going to have another day off today since I don’t have drinks with G until tomorrow….that’s about it…need to read the online papers and finish the coffee…

May 15th

Well…it was a pretty good day yesterday with such a nice lunch with T…it was good to get caught up and laugh a lot….and there is free HBO on the dish so the afternoon was a total veg out…I’ll try to do better today and get some things accomplished but I think my allergies are flaring like crazy…it can’t be another bug…at least I hope it isn’t. Didn’t even make coffee or read the papers yesterday but I am going to go out in a few to get them today….I do need topics for later and I miss reading them…not much to do today…going to do a long ride and then do some cleaning around here then try to do some meal planning since I am getting tired of the same old things…I think I’ll get out the cookbook that T gave me and see if there is anything easy to make…more later…

May 14th

Well…another long day and I am worn out today so this one is going to be short for now….I did win at pool yesterday so that was something but there were so many bad drivers out there that I am still stewing a little about that…but, I need to get over things like that a be a better person but it is harder than I expected…have to keep trying, though, and I will. No dreams to speak of and I didn’t sleep well but I really don’t need to talk about that anymore…HBO is free for the next couple of days so I think there will be some serious vegging here and I am looking forward to it…I will be back later for more but right now it’s couch time…..

Okay…got out and got the ride in and there is life left in me so I’m back for a short update…there was some trail weirdness to report today…first, there have been lots of small, black birds that have been flying out of the grass alongside the trail for the past couple of days with quite a few near misses to report…today, though, I ran over one of the little things and I felt so bad until I turned around to see if there was anything I could do and it was flying away….and I had hit it full on with the back tire to where it was like running over a rock…that made me feel a lot better….oh, the other weird thing was the guy practicing roller disco in the parking lot of the little park that is my last water stop…he just seemed out of place…more later…I do need to read the papers…

May 13th

Well….it was a total veg out day yesterday but I did bake some bread and got a long bike ride in…and, I was good last night so I feel okay today…and that shows in getting this one out so early for a Sunday….I did have dreams last night that included weddings with lost shoes, Russian baseball, and inappropriate gifts….one of those dreams that you just can’t make sense of….could have slept better, though, but no plans for today so I can take a nap later….the bike ride isn’t going to happen until later in the day since there is F1 race on in an hour or so and then the final day of the EPL..looks like Man U is not going to win the championship but that is okay….I will try to get another one out later today and it may even happen….more later…

May 12th

Well…I am running late today and I’ll blame it on the F1 qualifying that I watched until 9 and then I had to run out to Meijers to get a bread pan since I am going to make some bread today…but, I’m here now an that’s all that counts…okay, that’s not all that counts but it sounded good…don’t have a lot to do today but have my coffee, read the papers and get on the bike and it looks like it may rain here in a bit so I may even have to put the bike ride off until this aft…we’ll see…right now I am going to go read the papers before my coffee gets cold…more later…

Okay..it has been an absolutely veg day so far today and it looks like I may just have to write it off…or I would if the guilt wasn’t too bad..but, what to do? I could clean but that is not appealing right now…I did make some whole wheat bread that came out okay…the only reason I made it was to use up the flour I bought to make pizza crust…it is just way too much nonsense for a crappy loaf of bread…I think I’ll go look at the online papers and see if I can find a topic for today…

May 11th

Well…it was a long day yesterday with going out with G for a couple and then a couple of cocktails here…so, I am a little worn down this morning but that’s okay….I earned it. I am still a little confused with T shutting down our communication this week but I am almost over it and used to it…this time it has been quite easy to accept…so I won’t talk about it again. I did have some weird dreams that centered on wearing a suit that didn’t fit but that is all of the detail I can remember…don’t know why I mentioned it….not much to do today….I think I’ll just hang out and lick the wounds for a while and then go out for the papers when it gets a little warmer…I will be back later for more but right now I am going to go back to the couch and wait for the F1 practice to start…more later…

May 10th

Well….it was a sort of busy day yesterday and I did get a lot of stuff done so that was a good thing…at last I had things to do in the morning….the afternoon was not as productive but how productive do I have to be anymore? I was good last night so I feel pretty good this morning and that will help since it is grocery day and then I have to meet up with G later for a couple to hear about her trip to SF….and with that, I will cook again today and i am looking forward to that since the tacos and burritos that I have been making all week are getting old really fast….again, I didn’t sleep well and didn’t have any dreams and this is almost a week without any and I’m not sure what the deal is….not much to do today….other than groceries…and cleaning…yep, I do a lot of cleaning around here…with all of that, you would think that this place would be spotless…it’s okay but not spotless….oh, well…I will be back for more later…ole Mitt has to have said something stupid I can comment on….

May 9th

Well…it was an unusual day yesterday but I made some cash so that is a good thing…and I got back on the bike for a nice ride so I don’t feel as guilty as I should for pigging out when I got back form pool with Tom…we tried a new place…or I should say an old place, one that I haven’t been in in 40 years or so, the Alto bar, and it was okay….have not heard from T hardly at all over the past few days and I’m not sure what is going on…if our friendship is ending, it would be nice to know….and to then start to move on to other things….I do feel okay today since I was good when I got home and that is something to be proud of….slept like crap again but I think that comes with the territory nowadays….not much to do today…it was a busy one yesterday and I am looking forward to getting back to the old routine and cooking something….and getting a second one out today…sorry about being so distracted and lazy but I am going to do better….more later…
