Well…another night, another Wings loss and that depresses me some…but it is a long season and they will come back out of this slump….but the rest of the night was a bore as always and I was watching the clock just waiting to go to bed…but the problem with that is that you get up the next morning and it starts all over again. Sounds like a Pink Floyd lyric….but, it is another day and I will have to make the most of it…I did get some cleaning done yesterday and that will continue today, too….there are spiders to be removed and food to be cooked so that is something to look forward to. It is supposed to be 35 today so I may be able to get out for a ride, too, but that’s what they said about yesterday and it never got over 32….not much to do today….going to just do the normal routine and then come back here and try to get a few of these out….and I may even have something relevant to say….or maybe not, who knows?

Just noodling…
Well…it as been a long day of nothing really…maybe why it felt so long..at least I did get some cleaning done including getting the cobwebs off the road bike and finally putting the papers out to recycle. It looks like a long stretch of not seeing anyone this week and it’s not getting any easier….oh, well….and it is a no cocktail night for the next three to rest the liver and cut down on the calories…I’m still feeling quite guilty about not riding the bike everyday and that is compounding this malaise I feel…I guess I could feel good about getting four of these out today but then the guilt of not saying anything erases that completely….so, maybe I should just stop here and wait to see if there is any lucidity in my future…
December 6th
Well…it was a long day yesterday and I am so glad to have the car stuff behind me but the money hit is still hurting and probably will for the next few days anyway….I did sleep okay last night but up at 6 or so and no dreams to report so it was kind of a bore…I do need to get a bunch of stuff done today and that includes more and more resumes, as always, and some general cleaning…you would think, living alone, that this place couldn’t get very dirty but it does…oh, well….not much to do today…I am going to enjoy having the car back and getting back into the routine and cook some new food…have been doing leftovers for almost a week and the idea of chicken is appetizing again….I will get to a political one today so come back later and see how I do….
Okay…still out of sync..
Well…with the car out of order for the last three days..I have been really quite out of sync and haven’t been able to get the brain working too well…I guess just too much worrying about getting things done and finding that job…I am hoping that things will level out tomorrow when I get back to the normal routine….and by cutting back on the cocktails to one per night…I am going to try to get back into the political stuff, too, but that just hasn’t been working well, either. So, I guess I’ll just keep trying and see if I can work it out….let’s write this day off as a mulligan and just go forward….you know, I have been doing this for almost two years now and averaging two a day over that time is an accomplishment of some sort…not sure what yet…
Trying to get caught up…
Well….after not having this available for a couple of days, I’ve gotten behind and do need to catch up…so, that means that this one might not be worth your reading…but, I hope so…it has been a morning to forget really….did talk to T via text and that has been the high point of my day so far…had tacos for brunch….can it be brunch if your not out with someone? Well..it was tacos at 10:45 anyway and that was pretty weird…and my stomach has gone into flip flops…might be from the cocktails last night but I only had two so that can’t be it….and the rest of the day looks to be one of just cleaning or watching old movies and the old movies are winning right now…”Top Hat” with Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers…one of my favorites is on right now and I think I’ll go back to the couch for a few minutes and watch….more later…
December 4th
Well…another night, a few cocktails, and the boredom was kept at bay to get to today….I even slept okay, I think, since I didn’t get up until 7 or so….but I don’t remember much of it….it is pretty boring sitting around here…nope, not going to got there….sitting here waiting for the rain to stop so I can go get the paper on the bike…and use up the last of the coffee…it will be nice to get the car fixed tomorrow and have that out of my mind…okay….not feeling it right now so I’m going to go make the coffee and watch a little tv…more later…
Okay…back for a minute since my brain has started to function again…don’t know if it is a sign of aging or what but it seems I need an hour or so to get up to speed in the morning…hmmmmm…I guess I should be thankful that it only takes an hour…I did ride the bike out to get the paper and the radar was wrong…it looked clear but it was still raining and I got quite wet…it seems strange that your life condenses down to a series of short activities as it gets smaller…just want to get through tomorrow and get the car back and then I can take on the bigger stuff of looking for work….I really miss “Jazz Brunch” that used to be broadcast on WLAV Sunday mornings but I guess Pandora is doing the same thing over the internet…okay…that’s enough for this one…nope, not yet…not much to do today…I do have a conundrum for later today when the Lions and Wings play at the same time later….and I am going to get a ride in today..in shorts…which is still not a record…rode in shorts January 1st of this year, but it would be cool to ride in them on Dec 31st…well..cool to me, but probably not to you…but I’m a little off…and happy to be…
December 3rd
Well…running really late today….my son had to move my site over to a new server this morning so I wasn’t able to access it until now….so let’s get back to it…yesterday was a crappy day with the exhaust failing completely and not being able to get it fixed until Monday so I am a hermit for the next couple of days….and with the rain, that leaves me unable to ride the bike either…oh, well…making some salmon for lunch and it smells pretty good so I’m going to go do that right now…I’ll be back later to bring you up to speed on the happenings in this little corner of the world…more later…
Okay, I’m back for a few minutes but, I’m watching the Man U game right now so this addition will be short…it is a pain to not have your car even if you’re not going anywhere…oh, well…I guess I’ll save some money by not going out. I thought I was over the bug I had but I think going out Thursday set me back some…I have felt pretty crappy since then and I don’t really like it too much…it could be that not riding the bike as much it screwing me up, too…who knows? Okay, going to go watch the match…maybe more later…
December 2nd…
Well…a fun day yesterday but a late start…out for pool with Tom and won for the 7th week in a row but it’s not me….and then more cocktails back here so I feel a little crappy today…and went overboard with the texts so I have to look at the phone to see how bad it is…T texted me this morning so I guess it couldn’t have been that bad…okay….have some things to do and I need water so I’ll be back later to add to this one…
December 1st
Well…another month gone and I am trying mightily to keep moving forward…I guess that’s what everyone does, huh? I am running late today but there really isn’t any reason for it..just watching some British tv to get the escapism going early and kind of ease into the day….there were dreams last night but they were too weird for me to even make sense of..or even to relate them to anyone, so I won’t….the first is always a hard day when I have to pay the rent and realize that with each day, I come a little closer to being broke…and another day closer to death….yep, stole that one form Pink Floyd…so don’t send me any letters….not much to do today..I do have to buy some groceries since I only have soup and one piece of pie left and that is just not enough…still waiting for Brian to bring me the salmon he promised and I am really looking forward to that…oh, and I have to try to get the car in again but I may have to start looking for another place to do it….I did make it to 60 for the month last month so that is something…more later…
Oh, one last thing…I did get back on the bike yesterday…fully suited up and I am sore….but it wasn’t that cold…it looks like as long as it is 35 or better, I can take it out and keep riding as long as it doesn’t snow….
November 30th
Well…another month gone and still no bites on the resumes but that has become the new normal here so I guess I’ll just have to get used to it….it was a no cocktail night last night since I do need lots of energy for today…taking the wreck in to have the exhaust fixed and then going to clean this place up so I can feel a little better about it…other than that, not much to do today…I am going to have to figure out some new exercise since I haven’t been able to ride the bike and I am getting cranky…and fat…I just can’t figure out how I can gain weight so fast even with only eating about 1,000 calories a day…I guess I have to cut out the cocktails until I start to ride in the spring….or not….who knows? I will be back for one more later since I need it to get to 60 for the month….
Okay…a little curve for the day with the car…they can’t get to it today so I’m taking it in after hours tomorrow and I’ll just wait while they fab the pipe and install it…that might work out better anyway…so, I need to work out and then clean a little…then try to figure out what to eat today since all of the turkey is gone….
