Well…it’s the last day of my 50’s and I’m not sure how I feel about that…it was an okay day yesterday and I finally won at pool again so that was okay…slept okay but repair dreams again for the car…not sure what that is about but I’m not going to think about it…I may take a drive down to k-zoo today to look at the british cars at the Gilmore museum…the Miata club is even driving down but I’m not sure I am going to go or not…that would mean skipping the bike ride and I’m not sure I want to have that much guilt today….okay…this isn’t really working so I am going to come back later for more…need some more coffee…

July 13th
Well…it was a long day with lots of traveling in it yesterday but the car was flawless…have to remember to use the sunscreen more since I have a pretty good burn from being in the car for 4 hours….but the dad stuff was successful so that’s a good thing…and got a surprise over there that I am going to have the second one engaged next Friday….I am pretty happy that the kids are all moving on in their lives…makes me smile…slept okay last night and had Miata repair dreams in the early morning that were okay…I did remember the old balled up newspaper trick to get the glass clean in the car and it worked pretty well so I am happy with that….not much to do today….and that one’s true…just the bike ride and cleaning…need to eat more today since I didn’t get to 1,000 cals yesterday and I am going to feel it today….more later
July 12th
Well…running late again today and there is no reason for it other than I’m just running late today…it was an okay day yesterday and I did get the car cleaned but have to do the windows again…have never had a car that it is so hard to get the film off the windows…and I do need to get it done now since I have to run over to the other side of the state today….no pool today but have some dad responsibilities to take care of…so, I’d better get the bike ride in and get started…want to be over there by noon or so…more later…
July 11th
Well…sitting here waiting for the coffee to finish so I thought I’d get this done…it was an okay day yesterday and it was fun to get out to have a couple with G…other than that, it was just another boring day here in unemployment land…only four more days until the big one and I have been thinking of doing kind of a countdown thing here…not sure what form that would take but I guess that’s my job to figure it out…slept okay but stayed up late and with the cocktails, I’m running a little slow today…I do need to wash the car but that is about it…no food to cook since I have leftovers…yep, a really, really boring kind of day coming up…more later…
July 10th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I made it into a cocktail night in early celebration of the big 6-0 coming next week so I don’t feel as good as I did yesterday…and the heat is already almost too much and is going to make the bike ride a little iffy this morning…came back yesterday soaked from head to toe and ran out of water before the last stop…will have to figure that out today…slept okay last night but that’s about it…didn’t get much accomplished yesterday…but I am going to go out today and try to find some black raspberries to pick for my one splurge in food…vanilla ice cream with the berries is a birthday tradition that I have observed since I was about 5 and want it to continue….more later…
July 9th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I did accomplish a few things but not enough….and I was good for another day so I feel okay this morning…slept okay, too, but I am sore for some reason….have to get some ibuprofen since I am again chasing the tendonitus from joint to joint just like last summer….and now it is in all four major joints and that is a pain…I do need to do the grocery run today since I am out of everything and I do like to eat…well, need to eat…not sure how much I like it anymore…nothing really tastes good to me so I guess I’m back to thinking of food as just fuel…maybe if I change it up and try some new stuff that will change…who knows? Not much to do today…and that is the truth…want to wash the car but it looks like rain again so that may have to wait….
July 8th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I was good last night so I feel pretty good today…still didn’t sleep much but that’s the new normal and I’m not going to bitch about it….did talk to T yesterday a few times and that was nice and I made some money so it looks like I have enough for groceries through the end of the month…not sure yet if I want to turn this week into birthday week and raise hell all week…probably not since I feel too good today to give that up….maybe later in the week…I do have to keep up on the ibuprofen since the swelling in my left elbow is really painful and now it has gotten to my right knee, too….I have been waiting for this years tendon pain and it is finally here…looks like I may take the first day off the bike since April with the storms that are coming in and I don’t think that is a bad thing…the legs could use a day off…not much to do today…I do need to clean around here and I just may have the motivation to do it today….more later…
A little more trail weirdness…
Well…haven’t done one of these in a while…and it’s not because there was no weirdness, it’s just because I keep forgetting to do one of these….and some of the stuff isn’t really weird, it’s just things I don’t normally see. So, let’s start with the fox the other day…not weird but I can’t ever remember seeing one running around during the day….then, there were the two fawns that were just standing along the trail that just looked at me as I rode by…didn’t see their mother anywhere but she must have been around there…oh, here’s the weirdness….I saw a pair of long running pants on the trail today…just lying in the middle of the trail and the I could never understand that…I mean, how do you get to the middle of a run and decide ‘I don’t need these pants anymore so I’ll just take them off and leave them here” ….what kind of a thought process would allow anyone to do that? Oh, well…I’ve seen weirder things out there….
July 7th
Well…not running late today and there is no reason for it….just decided to get after it so I can get on the bike early…it was an okay day yesterday but I still have that bug that came on Tuesday….still coughing and warm and I’m waiting for it to start again today…I did sleep okay last night and it was cool to see the fireflies out….there was a bunch of them right at my slider and it just made me laugh….didn’t do a lot yesterday…just kinda vegged to rest with the bug…looks like the same thing for today…I will get the bike ride in but that will be about it….more later…
July 6th
Well…running late again today but not really…I guess it’s getting to be normal on the weekends to get one out around 9…it was an okay day yesterday but I lost at pool for the 2nd week in a row….I did try to eat enough yesterday and we’ll see if it helps on the bike today…I do have to adjust the seat since the nerve going down my right leg has been pinched the past couple of days…and the pain has been quite severe along with weakness that just annoys me…maybe that crap comes with being almost 60? Hope not….oh, I should go take some ibuprofen before the ride….not much to do today…it looks like another hot one and I should wash the car but probably won’t…who knows? I will come back for another one later since I did skip the second one from yesterday…
