Well…it was a good day yesterday with the car getting fixed and a nice lunch with T but I am still kind of puzzled how I lost yesterday’s post. Had the funniest thing happen on the bike ride yesterday…after I ran through a puddle, the shifters froze up and I had to ride it back 4 miles with it stuck in a low gear…but that wasn’t the weirdest part…when I got back here, I had been running the dryer while I was gone and there was a lot of moisture in the air, and when I got the cold bike parked ice started forming and dropping off it onto the towel I parked it on. Strangest thing I’ve seen in a while…I guess I’ll have to make sure it’s over freezing when I go out…no dreams or anything to report but I was up at 5 or so and that is starting to become a habit I don’t like too much. Not much to do today…I do have the big party at G’s at 5 that I am making shrimp fettucine for and it is always one of the most fun parties of the year with way too much wine and laughing…plus the Wings are on tonight so it should be a good day. I will have another one here in a couple of minutes…

Well…I am trying to recreate this one from this morning since it just disappeared from the site and I can’t find it. It was a fun day yesterday with going out with Tom and shooting pool which I lost for the second week in a row. I did get out with K, too and saw some people I haven’t seen in quite a while…had a lot of fun….I did get the car fixed this morning but who knows how long that is going to last? You know…I just can’t remember what I wrote this morning so I’m just going to write this one off and go make a cocktail…

Well…it’s been another day where my outrage has died a little more and that is the major reason that the political stuff here has dwindled so much. It’s not like I haven’t been trying, but life and the mundane has been occupying my head way too much and has crowded out most other thoughts. It didn’t help that I didn’t get the papers today but I had to get the car fixed first thing in the morning when I normally would have been getting coffee and reading. And, the online papers are just not enough to get me fired up…so, I’m going to end today with the same old tired promise that I’ll get better at this and get back to the high energy, lucid stuff I used to write….I may even come back to this one later tonight after I have the first cocktail…who knows?

Okay…I did just have a tiny little flicker of outrage….the repubs are at it again…they are holding up the payroll tax cuts that would benefit working Americans and keep the recovery going just to reward their rich backers in the oil industry by betting the polluting Keystone pipeline approved. Have you ever seen a more naked grab for the rich than this? Geez….

Well…it was a day yesterday and I never set foot out of this place…but, that won’t be the case today….it was okay, though, with the “Heroes” marathon I was on….it really helped pass the time and it is not a bad show….might even make paying for Netflix this month worth it….and with it being a no cocktail night…I feel okay and I’m looking forward to the day…not much to do today…I do need to go out for groceries in a few minutes and I skipped working out yesterday so I’ll have to do that…and I may have a couple later with K…haven’t seen her for a couple of weeks and that would be nice….it is going to be hard to spend the money for groceries today, though, since I’ll be spending money I don’t have….but, I do need to have food that is not fish…more later….

Oh, I do have another one for later….about the latest attempt to shred the constitution…and this one is bi-partisan…

Well…another night, another good Wings game that made the night go by pretty fast…I was the text hub for the game last night and it was a little fun…but slept like crap and feel pretty lousy this morning…and it looks like I’ll be staying in today since I only have 6 bucks in my pocket and going out for coffee would take it all….so, I’m going to hunker down here today and clean to take my mind off being broke…maybe watch a couple of movies, too, but I just looked through Netflix and there is nothing I want to see….I guess I’ll figure something out…not much to do today…have to try to find something to cook but there is nothing in the freezer but fish and I am getting tired of it…maybe some turkey soup….more later…

Well….as I add the titles to these, I get this feeling that my life is slowly slipping by in those numbers…..and it is 5 in the morning again and I am up; sitting here trying to make my brain stop and not having a lot of success. Today may be a lost day again…I can’t see it being a success at all…maybe a survival day….trying to smile and make it all go away but I’m getting less and less certain that that is possible anymore. So, I’ll be back later to try to add to this one but I can’t promise that it will happen….

Okay..two days of wallowing and that is just enough…so, it’s time to get going again and stop this nonsense. it has been an okay week but the car is still not fixed right….only got one day out of the gasket this time but I’m not going to take it back until tomorrow or thurs…did get the bike ride in and it was a good one…it does make a difference when I eat before I go…had some energy today and it felt pretty good. Not much else to do today…I was up at 4:40 so I may take a nap and not feel guilty about it…or I might…still not completely out of the black hole yet…more later…and I mean it this time…

Well…it was an excruciating day yesterday and I am now just beginning to see the light again…but I have been busy this morning..took the car back in again and I think they may have fixed it finally…that is one thing I won’t have to think about for a while now I hope…but I’m still broke so that is another problem that has to be dealt with..but not right now…I do need to get back into the fitness routine since it looks like I have 4 days that I can still ride the bike…my eyes have been bad all morning and I can’t see too well even with my glasses on…that is kind of weird but I don’t think it’s anything serious….not much to do today…geez…even my fingers aren’t working too well so maybe I’ll keep this one short and come back later for another one…I do owe you one on politics, after all…

Okay…I’m back for a minute…it’s been a whirlwind day with going out the door at 7:30 to have the car fixed and then have been working on some resume revisions for a contract job that I applied for….so, I may not get to the political one today…but I will promise that I will get caught up tomorrow and have a couple extra ones….

Well…this is going to be a short one…have fallen off the cliff again and I am having trouble just writing this little bit…the car broke again yesterday and I am so broke that I am going to have to beg off the friends Christmas dinner with G since I can’t afford the 50 bucks or so the food would cost….it feels like my life is a black hole that is slowly consuming itself…so, I won’t make the promise of coming back later…

Well…another night of boredom but I think it was okay…I survived it, after all, and I’m back to do this for a while…it was a pretty good day yesterday…made turkey soup from the carcass of the t-day turkey and it came out a little strange…the orange juice that I used to brine it really came out in the soup so it has a kind of citrus taste that I didn’t expect…but it is still good and I have 3 containers in the freezer. Looks like another day of no riding and I am not looking forward to it…oh, well…not much to do today…might have a couple with K later but I haven’t heard from her so it may be another day of staying in…saves cash so I guess I shouldn’t complain…okay, going to go watch W.C. Fields in “The Bank Dick” and veg….more later…

Well….another night of the normal stuff but the Wings won so that made it a little better….I am running late today and just looked outside to see that there is snow on the car which just depresses the heck out of me…I know it’s December in Michigan but it doesn’t make it any easier…oh, well…looks like no bike ride today but that may be okay…the wind yesterday was just brutal and I am sore everywhere….not much to do today….and I really mean it this time…I will go out for coffee but that’s about it…and I will be back here for a couple since I don’t have anything else to do….more later…
