Well….it was a Sunday much like all the rest of them but it was a no cocktail night so I feel okay this morning..other than the time change which really screws up my sleep…okay…my sleep is always screwed up and I’m sure you don’t want to hear about it anymore….and there were no dreams to offset the crappy sleep…oh, well…I do have lunch with T today so that is something to look forward to but it is raining like crazy so I may not be able to get to the ride today and it looks like it will be wet most of the day…okay….I’ve been up since 5:20 and this is not going well so I am going to go back to the couch for a few minutes and let the brain start functioning again….

Well….it’s been another Sunday and I did get a long bike ride in in just shorts and a t-shirt and came back sweating through everything which was more like it…cooked some chicken for lunch and forgot to turn the oven off for a few hours after it….couldn’t figure out why it was so warm in here even with the slider open….I still can’t believe that it’s early March and it is 65 degrees…it was nice to have a long text conversation with T today and that kept me from the total, crushing boredom that usually comes with it being Sunday….I did have some political stuff to talk about but I forgot what it was so I guess I’ll have to go back to the paper and see if that will trigger it…who knows?

Well….it was a nice day yesterday with getting out to see K and J for a while but it got me started on the cocktails a little early so I feel a little slow today…and, as you’ve noticed, there was no political one yesterday but you should expect that on the weekends….and the Wings lost so that just adds to my malaise this morning that I am trying hard to fight…not really…just thought I’d say that as a way to show that I’m not a total slacker on the weekends…which I am. really….it’s almost 10 but 9 really with the time change and I am already out of things to do other than ride the bike…oh, and Man U is on this morning…in a few minutes so I’m going to go back to the couch and get ready for it….more later….okay, I laughed at that, too…

Well…another long day and night but the Wings won so that helped….and Michigan and State won in the tournament so there will be two games to watch today and something to do…and the Wings play again tonight…plus, there is soccer on starting at 7:30 this morning….not sure what any of that means…I think I’m grasping at straws to keep myself from going crazy…or I already have and sports is the manifestation of it..who knows? I still have that grinding pop in my right thigh when I stand up but the pain is not too great so I think I can live with it…we’ll see when I get out on the bike today…at least it’s not numb anymore…that was kind of freaking me out….not much to do today…I will probably just sports out the day and veg…there is still a spider alert on so I should do something about that, too….more later…

Well…it’s been almost two years I’ve been doing this thing and this one is number 1,500 and, as always, I don’t know what to think if it….on one level, I’m proud that I’ve had the tenacity and discipline to write an average of more than two of these a day, and some of them have even been pretty good….but on another level, the question has to be asked: “What’s the point?”. I’m not sure I can answer that one…I do know that it has helped keep my skills at writing at least warmed up and the old adage that “if you don’t use it, you lose it” always runs through my mind when I get up in the morning and don’t feel like even trying. Does everything have to have a point? Or, is it enough to just do it for me? It may be that I am doing this just for me…haven’t looked at the stats lately to see how many people are still coming…there were periods when there were thousands of you every day and I guess I don’t look because I don’t need another reason to be depressed, and who else cares but me? So, I will say thanks to those of you that keep coming back and listening to this overqualified and unemployed old guy try to make sense of things….and, I’ll continue to try to get better and do better every day…if you’ve been here before, you know how big of a struggle that is at times….

Well…it was another day yesterday with more boredom but I did make corned beef and cabbage that came out great so that helped a little…I’m still feeling a little off and my right thigh has this burning sensation in it that is a little disconcerting…it may be connected to the lower back pain that I’m feeling on that side….okay….going to wimp out and go back to the couch….back later for more…and the next one will be number 1500…so I really should think of something profound to say but I’m not sure if I’m up to it…I may be later but not now…it will be a no bike ride day today since it is going to be around 35 for a high and I don’t want to thermasuit up again…I do need to go out to Meijers this morning and I am going to try to keep the shorts thing going even though I’m 6 weeks or so ahead of my earliest start…

Well…it was a day yesterday and a cocktail night so I feel a little slow this morning…but I did win at pool so that is a plus…no dreams to speak of and a bad night of sleep has compounded the slowness so I won’t keep this up for long…in fact, I’m heading back to the couch right now to lick the wounds and drink some water…

Okay…this one is going to be a bit jumbled as I add to it as the day goes on….I did get some water in me and I’m waiting for the coffee to get that jolt I need to clear the head…I don’t have much to do today…that just struck me as funny…and I laughed…I am making corned beef and cabbage for lunch today so that is something to look forward to….the coffee sounds like it’s done so I am going to go get a cup and read the online papers…back later for more…

Well…it started out a pretty cold day yesterday and I was out on the bike in full thermasuit with a wind that made everything below my neck hurt like crazy…then, I looked up and it was over 60 degrees so I missed riding in shorts and t-shirt yesterday…that is plan for today, though since it is 7 am and it is already 54 degrees…I do need to do the grocery run and wash the car but then I am going to try the ride in shorts this morning…I did have dreams last night that were centered around the 77 Chrysler again but it’s windshield was gone and it wouldn’t run right…not starting and quitting in the snow…but I couldn’t figure out what the whole thing was about…and still can’t….It was a little disappointing with the Wings losing last night and it being a no cocktail night, I was somewhat bored and forgot to put the heat back on so it was cold in here this morning…I will try to get back for another one later today but I need to go out to Cascade for a while so it may get away from me….

Well…it was a night out with G last night and no arguments but there was an undercurrent of uneasiness on my part that things could deteriorate at any moment and I was unsure of how I was going to react to it….I felt kind of fake at times talking of innocuous topics that had no real meaning, just going through the motions…more of what my life has become lately and I’m not sure what to do about it or if there is anything I can do about it…oh, well…I guess I’ll just keep putting one foot in front of the other and see what happens….I didn’t get to the political one yesterday, as you know, but with the repub primaries today, I may just be able to do better today….not much to do today…I think it will be a cleaning day since the spiders are back and I am tired of looking at them…and I will get back on the bike later and I hope that will be a mood raiser….more later…

Well…it was a long day yesterday and I knew I was going to feel like this today so I’m not surprised….so this one is going to be short…I did win at pool yesterday for the first time in a month but that was the only good thing that happened in sports….the Wings and Michigan State lost…oh, but Man U and Michigan won so I guess it wasn’t that bad. I’m back to feeling a little off like I was a couple of weeks ago and I’m not sure why….I think I may have to go back to no cocktails for a while…okay, need water and the couch right now…will be back later for more…

Okay…I’m back after a full morning where I just finished up the things I had to do for the day….and I do feel better after the coffee and the running around…still feel a little strange today like I’m crooked and the entire world is a little askew…oh, well…not much to do today after this morning…just going to take it easy and let the body heal….and I will come back for another one later today after I think of it…need to go out and re-read the online papers for ideas….more later…
