January 4th

Well…a pretty good sports night last night with both Michigan and the Wings winning…but Michigan looked really bad in doing it so there was a lot of luck involved…and it was a cocktail night so I went to bed early and feel a little crappy today…but I am taking the rest of the week off so the liver will get a rest….no dreams to report…or anything else, really…did have a couple with T yesterday and it is always great to see her and laugh a bit…not much to do today…going to just lay low for a while and hang out…I will be back with some politics to kind of recap the Iowa nonsense…more later…

January 3rd

Well…up early again this morning and I feel a little out of it like normal…it was an okay day yesterday with State winning in OT but the rest of the Big Ten really sucked and they lost every other game…at least we still have Michigan playing tonight and the Wings are on, too, so that will be a good way to pass the time…winter is finally here and it is 19 degrees outside…I know it was coming but that doesn’t make it any easier…it was nice to go out to watch part of the State game yesterday just to get out of here…not much to do today…going to just hang out here today and then have to meet up with T later and I am looking forward to that…and I am already 2 behind for the month so I’ll be back here to get caught up…more later…

Oh, I did want to say happy birthday to Stephen Stills and John Paul Jones…

January 2nd

Well…it was a long day yesterday and the Lions lost so that put a damper on the day somewhat…but it was a good game so that was a plus…and I didn’t sleep all that well so I’m dragging some today….just sitting here thinking if I should go and clear the snow from the car and go out for the papers but it’s cold and I don’t want to…not much to do today but football and more football…and the winter classic outdoor hockey game…so I should be able to keep myself amused…who knows if I’ll be back for another one…I will try, though…

Okay…I feel like I’ve been cheating for the last couple of weeks and need to get my act together here…the problem has been that I just don’t have a lot to say right now…I did go out and get the papers and I’ve already worked out so that basically finishes up what I had planned to do for the day…I guess I could clean up the kitchen before the football starts but I’m just going to cook again later so maybe that should wait…see…not really anything to say so I’ll stop, again….

January 1st

Well…another night and a good Wings win so I feel better than I should…no, that’s not true…it was such a chore to just go out and get the paper that I think I may have to take a rest…there is an Ab Fab marathon on so that will be good to do for the day as I rest here and heal the wounds…and no, there is nothing earth shaking or revelatory that I’m going to put down here just because it’s the start of a new year…it’s just another day to me…I will come back later to add to this one but right now I need more coffee and the couch…

Finishing the year…

Well…I was going to do a political one to end the year…or maybe a wrap up on how bad the year has been..but then I saw the coolest sunset in the way home and could almost smile again…it was filled with blues, pinks, purples, and reds and all I could do was marvel at how neat it was….and I won at pool for the first time in 4 weeks but we both were really off our games but it was still fun…turned the car over to 291 thousand miles on the way home and I think there may be something there but I don’t know what that is…..okay…this was kind of a filler to get to the goal but it meant something to me so maybe that’s enough? Happy New Year and I’ll talk to you tomorrow…

December 31st

Well….it’s the last day of the year and I really don’t know what the significance is….it seems that all of my days just run together and it is just a Saturday for me…it was an okay day yesterday but nothing happened other than coffee and newspapers…I did have cocktails last night so I don’t feel that hot today but I will get a ride in this morning that will help..the Wings looked bad last night and lost to the Blackhawks but they play again tonight so maybe they can redeem themselves…I did have dreams last night but they were crappy so I won’t share right now…not much to do today…just going to hunker down here and hang out for the day and night..might clean some but I’m not really motivated to do that right now…it’s a good thought but that’s just it…a thought, nothing else…I will be back later for one more since I need it to make the quota…I do need to get back to Man U since they are behind to Blackburn…yow…

December 30th

Well…had a pretty nice day yesterday with lunch with T being the highlight and then a few cocktails last night so I feel a little crappy today…not really, just tired from the poor sleep and flopping around all night. It’s almost another month gone and still no bites on the job front and I am getting numb from the process….I hope that January will be better and someone will think that I have something to offer….still haven’t given up hope but it does get harder every day to keep a happy face on it…oh, well….not much to do today…I do have to go back to Meijers since I came into some money yesterday and I need coffee and some other stuff…but that is about it…the Wings do play tonight so that will be something to look forward to and it looks like I’ll be able to get a bike ride in, too so maybe it won’t be such a bad day…more later…

December 29th

Well….it was the most low key day yesterday with staying in for the whole day…even skipped coffee to save a few dollars and will do the same thing today…I do have to go out and spend the minimum on food…going to try to keep it under 20 bucks including cocktail material and I will be eating out of the freezer but I’m not sure I can take a diet of fish and turkey soup…but I guess I’ll have to….had some weird dreams last night that included running a marathon in 3 hours and 7 minutes and then it snowed and I was riding my bike….not as weird as normal but close….not much to do today….groceries, of course, then out on the bike if it gets warm enough…and I am going to get caught up today since I’m running out of time to get to the goal….more later…

December 28th

Well…had a little fun last night with going out to watch the Wings with M and they even won…but ran through the rest of the cash I had so it looks like I’m going to be staying in this morning and skipping coffee…might not be a bad idea anyway. I do need to get those resumes out and work out..but it looks like no bike ride today since it is going to be cold and icy and I really don’t wan to crash and burn…and maybe the boredom will motivate me to get a few of these out today and even be a little lucid…but possibly that is a little too much to ask…not much to do today…as I said, no coffee or papers today…I did kind of go over that already didn’t I? So, I’ll end it here and just say more later…

This one is cheating…

Well…can you tell that I am getting a little desperate here trying to get to my goals? I did have an okay day today and I thought I’d get one more out before I go out to watch the Wings game with Micah….I did get a bunch of stuff done today and that included going out for a couple with G….and she gave me a bunch of cookies she made for Christmas…not normally a sweets person but it will be nice to have a snack later tonight….okay…I am feeling really guilty about this one so maybe I won’t count it….and it is getting time to go out the door so I have to find my gear and start getting ready….it is kind of hared when the idiots in Washington are out of town…just no new stupidity for me to comment on….
