Well…it was an okay day yesterday with meeting up with K and K for a couple and then the Wings winning an away game…they won the game but looked slow in the process….it will be interesting to see what team comes out tonight…it was a no cocktail night last night so I feel okay this morning…but it is snowing outside and that really takes my mood down a notch…I really shouldn’t complain, though, since it is the 5th least snowy December since records have been kept….and all of it should melt later in the day so I may be able to get a ride in…not much to do today…I am going out later to hang out with Micah and watch the game but that is about it….might have some stuff to do around here today, too, but I’m not sure what my level of commitment is yet…I do need to get in gear here since I am really behind and need to get to 62 for the month…might be a little trouble but it’s worth a try…

Well…as you can see, I didn’t come back for another one yesterday…didn’t do much, really…just cooked and stayed in since I was not feeling social and couldn’t muster up the ambition to get dressed and go out…but, the food came out good and I had a great meal so that was something…I think the malaise has continued into today sine it is getting to coffee time and I really don’t know if I’m going to go out or not…this used to be my favorite day of the year when I used to celebrate the holidays since all of the work was done and I could relax until after the 1st….I think it’s the same thing I feel about weekends now,,,that they just don’t have any meaning when you are not working….not much to do today….will probably just hang out here and get a bike ride in….I am going to try to get more out since I do need to get to the goal…more later…

Well…another day but the good news is that the Lions won and got into the playoffs for the the first time since 1999…and it was even a pretty good game…but then it turned boring and the cocktails didn’t even work…back up at 4:30 and I’m just lazing around here right now waiting for time to pass a little before I go out to get the paper…just can’t get motivated to do much right now so I’m not going to do anything…not much to do today…going to make that rib roast and then just hang out here…it is already 39 degrees so I will be able to get out on the bike this morning…but it’s a leisure ride today, going to take it easy even doing that today…I am looking forward to a big slab of beef for later…and I will come back for another one since I’m behind for the month…

Well…it was another day yesterday…just like the thousands of others that I’ve survived and that’s something, I guess. I did get a bunch of stuff done around here and the place is starting to look acceptable again so that’s a plus….no dreams or anything to report and I was good last night so I feel okay today…not that happy that there is a coating of snow on the ground but it is December in Michigan so you really do have to expect it…you don’t have to like it but you do have to accept that it will happen at some point…and, compared to last year, it has been okay so far…and the winter solstice has come and gone so the gloom will start to shorten every day…only two more months of winter…see, I can be an optimist…not much to do today…just going to lay low and try not to spend any money..and watch the Lions break my heart again today….I guess that’s another thing like Michigan winter…you know it’s coming but there really is nothing you can do about it…more later…or not, it is the weekend, after all…

Well…it was a long day yesterday and I don’t think I’ll stack drinks end to end again…out with T and then over to have a couple with G and then back here for cocktails…way too hard on me and I feel like crap this morning….and the water is going to be shut off here today…okay, this is too much work right now so I need to hit the couch and have some water…more later…

Okay…I’m back for a few minutes after I got everything done that I wanted to for the day…had to go out for one last time to Meijers to make sure I had beer to take over to K’s on C-day just in case I want to do that…and then out for coffee as normal..I’ve even gotten a start on cleaning this place up and it is starting to look okay…not sure if anyone is coming for Christmas dinner but I’m making it anyway and it will be nice to sit around in a clean place…I do have one about Michelle Malkin for later that I need to do…

Well…another night and the Wings looked like crap and lost so that was not a good thing…and I am cutting back on the cocktails so I feel better but much more bored….I did work up some outrage yesterday, as you saw, and there may be enough left over to do another one today…with not celebrating Christmas, I feel really isolated this time of the year, just kind of surviving until it’s over but it’s only 4 more days so I’m pretty sure I can make it through….I do have a new recipe for roasted cauliflower that I am making with the rib roast that looks good and I am looking forward to a huge slab of beef for Christmas….and no, that’s not a conflict…I don’t celebrate but I do make a good meal….not much to do today…I did tear the vacuum down yesterday and cleaned all of the filters so I can use it today…so that is about all for the day…cleaning this joint up and getting ready to go out for a couple with G later….more later…

Well…it was an okay night if a little boring with no Wings game…but I was good so I feel okay today and that is good since I do have some things to to today…okay, not some things but a thing…I have to do the grocery run this morning so I won’t be out in the stores again until after Christmas…as I’ve always said, my favorite day of the year is the 26th of December when all of the holiday stuff is over and I can get back to my normal routine. I did have some dreams last night which included some woman wrecking my 65 Galaxie but that’s about all I remember…not much to do today…oh, already did that….might have drinks with T and that would be fun and there is a game on later so that will be good…but the ten o’clock start is way too late….more later…

Oh, did get to 2800 miles yesterday…yay, a new record…here’s todays lyric: “I never thought I meet someone like you…welcome to my canoe…”

Well…another night and I am tired this morning for some reason…could be the cocktails but only had one so that’s probably not it…I did lose at pool again yesterday and that makes it four in a row…need to start trying harder…or not…the Wings won but I didn’t make it through the game since it was a west coast one and they just start too late for me….I’m just kind of winging it this week and I think I’ll have a couple of rest days thrown in for good measure…I did get the rib roast that I’m going to make this weekend and it was a deal…almost 6 lbs. and only 22 bucks….need to figure out what to make with it, though but I’ve got all week…not much to do today….the routine but not much else….so, I will try to get political later on…more later…

Well…it was a lazy day yesterday and I didn’t really do much but watch the Lions…and the had another one of those late comebacks that is going to give me a heart attack at some point….slept okay but no dreams again so that is a little disappointing but there really isn’t anything to do about it….not much to do today…oh, I do have things to do…going to get my hair cut and then out to get a rib roast that is on sale for 3.99 a pound…or some ribs that are only 99 cents per pound….okay, so I don’t have a lot to do…but, that is something…more later…

Well…I’m running late again but that’s how it always is on Sunday so you shouldn’t be surprised…I has such a fun night last night at G’s for the annual holiday dinner but I think I may have been a little obnoxious at the end of the evening..oh, well….I don’t get out much and my social skills are a little rusty…I should feel a lot worse than I do so that is a plus, though. I did stink this place up yesterday making the dish I took and it may be quite a while and a lot of Febreeze before it gets better…there was so much smoke from a spill in the oven that I had to open the doors and windows to clear it…not much to do today…I am going to get on the bike after it gets above freezing to prevent the shifter freeze up debacle that happened last time….and then there are the Lions that might just have a chance today…maybe they can be like the Wings and their great win last night…more later..or not…who knows?
