Well…as you have already seen too many times, running late again this morning because I read the paper and had my coffee first instead of doing this….but I’m here now and I need t get this finished so I can get out on the bike before 9….it’s already 62 degrees so I’m going out in a t-shirt this morning…couldn’t go yesterday with the 40 mph gusts…it’s just no fun to pedal as hard as you can and stand still. Took the day off yesterday from doing anything…other than vacuuming the couch and turning the cushions so I’m ready to get some stuff done today…and the bike ride will be caffeine fueled and I hope will make up for being lazy yesterday. I am a little disappointed with the Wings losing the first game but it was a fluke goal so what can you do? May be going out to watch part of it with K today so I need to find the gear and get it ready…other than that, not much to do today…I do have some thoughts on the neutralization of Obama that the repubs are trying; the same old playbook they used with Clinton and I’m getting tired of the lack of respect….more later…

Well….stayed up late to watch the Wings game and had a couple of cocktails so I’m feeling crappy and running late….and, while the body has come alive, the brain is still waiting to start so this one is going to be short…I did have an okay day yesterday but didn’t really do much…and today doesn’t look much different….probably going to just hit the couch for a while and have some ice water until I feel better….more later…

Okay, I’m back..and feeling significantly better…I did try to take the bike out but with the gusts getting up to 40, it was just a little too much…it was so windy I coasted the half mile back from where I gave up…and that is flat ground…kind of like having a motor on the thing. Not much to do today..for some reason, the Fox Soccer Channel is no longer blocked so I’m just going to watch a few matches today and just veg out….I have been making progress around here in keeping it cleaner so that will be a part of the day I’m sure….have a stack of newspapers that have to go too since they kind of unnerve me sitting in my peripheral vision as they do….more later….oh, didn’t go out to get the papers today so there may not be another topic….I did get over 60 for the month after all…

Well….a pretty fun day yesterday with drinks with T and lots of great conversation and laughs….but the weather is still depressing the heck out of me…when is it going to stop raining? I do have things to do today so that is a plus and I need to get the Wings gear on since the second round of the playoffs start tonight….I’ll update the sports stuff later in a separate post….man…still can’t get the brain working very well and I’m not sure what the problem is….need to go out for supplies today and get some more groceries…I should get some chips and dip for the game tonight…it has been a tradition when we get together to watch but I don’t really need the salt or calories so I probably won’t…okay…it’s not working right now so I’ll stop before I get too much more embarrassed…more later…

Well….I haven’t done a part two in quite a while and this one has a purpose….I just haven’t been able to think much today with the stories coming out of the deep south…so I watched a movie this aft and it was one of the worst ones I’ve seen in quite a while..”Due Date” with Robert Downey….not funny and they never let you like either of the main characters; almost shut it off more than once and that never happens, or rarely…..I have been feeling crappy all day and I think it may be that I’ve gone a bit too far in trying to cut down on the calories…only about a thousand yesterday and burned about 600 of those on the bike…always feel sluggish when I do that so I’m trying to make up for that today but not having much luck….but, you really don’t care about that, do you? I am looking forward to hanging out with T tonight and that will make 3 days in row out….kinda looking forward to Friday night and staying home to watch the game….okay, that’s enough for now….

Well…had some fun last night out with G and a really weird thing happened…T was at Great Lakes, too and the two of them met for the first time….can’t wait to have drinks with T tonight to see what she thinks….and I made some cash finally so I can actually buy food this week…feel pretty crappy today since we stayed at GL longer than expected and Stevie Y’s team beat the Pens in the 7th game of their series which I did have to stay up and watch with a couple of cocktails…not much to do today…I am going to get some food and supplies then back here to take it easy….need to nurse the wounds and rest up for later…more later….oh, one last thing..I was right about the birthers…every thing I said they would say they did….crazy idiots…

Well…it was a long day yesterday and I do feel pretty crappy today…..nope, really crappy today…..stayed up late watching “Hud” with Paul Newman and had some cocktails…this, after being out with Tom and I won the night in a championship game after tying it up….so that’s the reason for feeling so crappy…I think there is a component of the lousy weather in there, too…I think I’m going to turn into a duck if it doesn’t stop raining….but it’s not going to so quack….I do need to get this place cleaned up for the furnace guys today but I have no motivation…what’s the opposite of motivation? Not much to do today…I do need to go to the bank and then buy stamps and send the electric bill but that’s about it….going to get moving now…more later….I think my hair hurts….

Well…another night at home last night since G went home and fell asleep…something I think she needed so I’m okay with that…and it saved some cash so that’s not all bad. I was quite bored with a no cocktail night and I didn’t sleep much but that’s just how it goes these days….I did get some resumes out yesterday but I think I have to broaden my search and get ready to move out of state…but that’s okay, too…I have one more start over in me and I probably should get to it. How do you get achilles tendon problems when you don’t run? I could barely walk yesterday with the pain in my right foot…it is better today but still is tender and stiff…and don’t have a clue how the heck I hurt it….I hope it doesn’t develop into the same pain I had in my elbow last year that lasted most of the summer….not much to do today…pool with Tom and more cleaning but that’s about it….more later….

Well…it was just a lump day yesterday and I didn’t do a whole lot but watch movies and ride the bike….not even any cooking; just leftover chicken so the boredom quotient was quite high…and I feel that bleeding over into today since I really have no plans for anything. I do need to clean this place up since they are coming to work on the furnace Wed and that means lots of work for me…but that’s not bad being forced into doing something that I should do anyway….and it will give me something to pass the time other than just watching the tv….not much to do today….just resumes and coffee….and the bike, of course…there will be topics later since I have discovered I don’t really need to be spurred on by current events; I can actually have ideas of my own…you’re surprised too, huh? More later…

Well…another night with cocktails so I am running a little late this morning…I did have a little fun yesterday with going out to have a couple with K and V but that was the extent of the variation from the normal Saturday routine….it is nice that it has gotten back out of the forties again and I can get back into shorts….I wonder if you can get dyslexia in your fingers? I have had a heck of a time typing the word from lately..it always comes out form and then I have to go back and correct it…yep, you knew I was weird when you started reading this thing…not much to do today…I do have a movie to watch and I will be getting on the bike for a nice leisure ride this morning, but right now, the coffee is done and I need to read the paper…more later…

Well….it’s after 8 so that means I’m running late this morning…didn’t even get up until 7:45 but all that sleep didn’t really help…feel pretty crappy this morning and the allergies are wreaking havoc on me already…sneezing, coughing, and my head feels like it’s full of concrete….didn’t take much for it last year but I think this year will have to be different..or not…who knows….when is the coffee going to be ready? Okay..it is so I’m going to stop and go get a cup and read the papers….

Okay…I’m back after reading the papers and much coffee but that hasn’t really helped me feel better…so I’ll just adjust and get into go slow mode for the rest of the morning and maybe even into the afternoon….it was a pretty good night last night and I resisted the temptation to text anyone…I may have to dump the dish here pretty soon and see if I can get the same programming on the internet services since they just raised the price again….we’ll see…I think I only watched about an hour on it yesterday and that is way too little to justify the price….not much to do today…trying to get motivated to get the bike out but I just don’t want to be cold today so I think I’ll wait until later this aft….making a whole chicken for lunch today and I am looking forward to having something different….it’s a pain to cook for one…have had leftover ham all week and I don’t think I can even look at it again for quite a while…will probably make salmon tomorrow since I have to eat out of the freezer…..but you don’t really care about that do you? On that note, I’m going to stop here and head back to the couch to lick the wounds and let the caffeine do its magic….more later…
