Well…it was kind of lost day yesterday since I felt so crappy all day and I think I may have a bug or the allergies are flaring…have been coughing a ton and my head feels like it’s full of concrete so that can’t be from the cocktails the other night….and I feel warm but that can be from not eating enough, too, so I’m not sure what to do about it….I am running late today for no other reason than I bought the papers today and have been reading them…it is nice to have T back in town from her vacation….it just seems right…no dreams to speak of but I also slept as badly as I can remember so that is part of it…not much to do today…I do have a spider alert in the bathroom that has to be dealt with and the Wings play their last game of the season before the playoffs start next week so I have to watch that…and Ferris State is in the NCAA hockey championship game later in the day that I’ll have to watch…and maybe out for a couple with the twins later in the day…I’m still sitting here cold and sweating so there must be a cause….since I only did one yesterday, I’ll come back for another today…not sure what the topic will be yet but it will be something…more later…

Okay…a milestone passed this week and I forgot to mention it….on the 3rd, I had been doing this for two years….and almost 1600 posts….not sure if that means anything…but that’s a hell of a lot of words to write….

Well…it was a long day yesterday and the Wings lost so that was not good…I did win at pool but the cocktails last night really did me in so this one is going to be short…really short since I’m going back to the couch right now…I’ll be back later for more after my head clears…

Okay…took the morning off and I feel much better so I thought I’d come back and do a little of this before I watch more tv today…yeah, I’m just vegging it but I am going out for a bike ride in a couple of hours so maybe I’ll have paid for the fun from yesterday…not much to do today….I was going to clean but I don’t feel like it so that’s out….and this is, too…I may be back later for another one but I may not…who knows?

Well…it was a pretty non-descript day yesterday but I did get a surprise call from G to go out and have a couple so I did get the chance to see part of the Wings game…another win in a shootout but it was another come from behind win that we just can’t depend on happening all the time…only two games left until the playoffs start next week…but that’s not what I really wanted to talk about…just had the weirdest dreams that included my 71 Fiat 124 and a broken window regulator…my uncle that died 30 years ago and a place in Cross Village called Leggs Inn…but it was snowing at the start of the dream and by the end of it it was summer…..oh, there were hydraulic leaks included, too, which was really weird since there were no hydraulics on the car…see, I can still be really weird at times and that is a relief…I thought I had lost the ability for weirdness and that was quite troubling…not much to do today….I do have the grocery run this morning and then the Tigers have opening day this aft…then another Wings game tonight that I can watch so I can shut my brain off for the day and not worry about jobs or money….more later….

Well…yesterday was a day I’d like to forget…no, nothing earth shattering happened but it was one of those days where you don’t accomplish anything and then the guilt sets in….I may go out for papers today but I’m not sure yet…it’s only 6:55 so I don’t have to decide just yet….no sleep to speak of last night and I am used up this morning…maybe I can take a nap right now to help that? It may be that I need to eat more again or is it that I’m just getting old…I can hear birds singing outside my window and they are really loud…at least it’s not the doves who set up shop in the bushes outside my bedroom last year…cooing and other nonsense at 5 am does not endear them to me at all….not much to do today….I am going to try to get the winter clothes put away and some other cleaning but the way I feel right now, that might be a little ambitious…more later…

Well….it was a long day and I got a lot of work done yesterday but I fell asleep watching the b-ball game last night and that led to a very sore right shoulder this morning….so I should go get some ibuprofen to help that….and it is storming outside right now, which I normally like but storms when it is only 45 degrees is just not right….I do feel okay today even after going out with G for a couple and having one cocktail when I got back here….and the dreams were about races somewhere but the odd thing is that there was no human interaction at all even though there were crowds everywhere….not much to do today…I think I am going to make this a cleaning day…the fridge needs it desperately and the bathroom could use a going over, too…more later…

Well…it was a long day yesterday with losing at pool and then having a couple of cocktails last night so I feel a little slow today….it is a little difficult not having T to talk to while she is away…but I think I got over the hump last night and the rest of the week will be better….had a shifter problem on the bike yesterday but I think I may have it fixed..we’ll see when I get out later today…and I put the rear tire on backwards when I put the liners in so I may have to take that back apart later and switch it…..not much to do today…I do have some things to do around here and I am skipping the papers and coffee so I’ll get started after getting the workout in….I do have some chicken that needs to be cooked today so that will be something…more later…

Well….it was another day off the bike yesterday since it was just too cold to go out without gloves etc. so I feel slow and lethargic today….and I know it’s not cocktails with only having one last night…I did go out to have one with K in the aft and it was good to see her…no dreams at all last night and I slept pretty crappy but that’s normal as you know…..okay, I need to make coffee and go out for the paper so I’m going to stop here and come back later….

I’m back for a few minutes and thought I’d get to what I normally do with these things….I did promise that I’d get to the nonsense going on in the Michigan legislature and I will later today but I’m not feeling it right now so I think I’ll do other things…not much to do today…I did get started on cleaning yesterday but the kitchen cleaner I bought has way too much bleach in it…I still smell it on my hands after a whole day of washing them and that is kind of bad….it was only two bucks so I guess I can just dump it…there are races on today which will make some good background noise for the day and I do hope to get out on the bike after 5 days off..oh, that reminds me, I should take some ibuprofen right now so the thirty miles won’t hurt as much…or maybe I’ll just do 15 to ease back into it….okay…that’s enough for now…it’s 9am and I’m already bored…and that does not bode well for a nice day…oh, well…

Well…another night, another Wings loss and I am getting concerned that we are going to go out in the first round of the playoffs this year….the one plus of last night’s game was the new tv….even when it’s not in HD, the game looked really cool and I am getting the adjustments on the tv right so the picture really looks great…I could follow the puck and see the numbers on the sweaters for the first time in a long time and that was pretty cool….I am running late today but you know that is normal for the weekend….got a text from T that made me laugh yesterday….she was sitting on the ground in Atlanta (on a plane in first class), and at 10 in the morning was drinking a Mimosa on the way to her vacation in Costa Rica….I did have some dreams last night but they didn’t seem important, just a jumbled mess of bad plumbing and people I didn’t know…not much to do today…I do have to clean and I already have laundry going so that is a good start….got the tire liners on the bike yesterday and can’t wait to see if they affect the ride at all…it will be nice to be able to stop thinking about flats all the time….and the walking back pushing the bike is no fun…I do have one on more shenanigans going on here in Michigan for later so come on back…you’ll like it…

Oh, forgot to say happy birthday to Eric Clapton…67 years old this week…

Well….it’s been a morning of complete vegiosity and tv and I’m not proud of it…but things like that happen sometimes…I did have one observation that I did want to share…and it is kind of weird but fits my skewed view of the world and maybe yours, too….when I was watching the new flatscreen last night, one thing struck me as being somewhat incongruous….while watching the old tv, the box itself has some depth and made it easy to suspend disbelief when the picture had depth in it, too…but, with the new one…and it’s 2 inches of depth…I find it weirder to allow my brain to think that the 3-d effect is allowable…there just isn’t enough depth there…yep, I know, you’ve probably never thought of that…and you’ve never had a problem with it…but that is what makes me so strange…I just look at things differently…and I don’t really want to change…

It is the first Wings game on the new tv tonight…I hope I’m not disappointed…

Well…it was a day yesterday but I didn’t do much with the cold and wind….I did get the tire liners for the bike and put the one in the back tire…will probably put the front one in this weekend and then I can stop thinking about getting a flat every time I’m out on the bike….I do feel a little excited with the Mega getting up to 560 million dollars and the cash value getting over 350 million…10 bucks to dream for the day is a pretty good deal….it was a cocktail night last night so I am feeling a little fuzzy this morning and I think I’ll stop here….T leaves for Costa Rica today and I am going to miss the many daily texts and the laughing….but I’ll live through it…more later…
