Well…pretty amazing Wings game last night with Frantzen getting 5 goals…but we needed it since the d couldn’t stop anything….went out to hang out with K and J for a while and the bar was the only place around here that was busy….didn’t do much else yesterday but hibernate and dig the car out…they still haven’t cleaned the lot here so my car is parked so far away I can’t see it..feel like crap today but I think it’s from not eating enough..okay..cocktails, too, but isn’t that what you do on snow days? Not much to do today…have to go out and get groceries this morning and then maybe out with G for a couple later but I’m not really planning on it…didn’t sleep well and will have to take a nap later, too so big plans today….I will get a couple more out later today…I hope…

Well…I have tried to get something started all day today and have had no luck at all…three are plenty of things to write about but I don’t know….I may be running into the writers block thing that gets me at times but what if it’s permanent….just another thing for me to worry about on top of the rest….oh, well…the Wings are coming back tonight after the all star break and with Pavel and Cleary coming back it will be fun to watch…I have unburied my car and moved it to a cleared spot so I can take that if I want to go out tonight but I don’t know if I have the energy for that…just feel sluggy today and probably should stop before you lose all faith in my abilities..if you even had any….maybe more later….

Well…fun night out shooting pool in Ada…didn’t win but it was close so that’s okay….I kind of laugh about the “blizzard” that we had last night..there is a cool drift around my car but I don’t see it as any worse than the normal storms we get all the time here….I guess the news people just need something to talk about. I do feel kind of crappy because I wasn’t a good boy when I got home but I’m still going out for newspapers and coffee….the lots here were cleaned all night long so it should be easy….I might have to walk it but I don’t think so…not much to do today….going to take it easy and recover and try to get a couple of posts out…I know I haven’t been too prolific lately but nothing has grabbed me in the last couple of days…more later…

UPDATE…I did decide to walk out to Kava and it was a good idea..they have started to plow here in our lots but the lot at Kava was ridiculous and I would have buried the Mazda….there were some cool drifts on the way to get the papers that were almost waist deep and I felt like a wilderness explorer by the time I got through them…I did forget that there wouldn’t be any of today’s newspapers so I had to make do with yesterdays NY times and GR Press….but that was okay….it was only George and I in Kava and I don’t understand why he even opened since you can only get there in a 4 wheel drive….maybe more later…

Well…another month starts and it is one of the most painful days in it when I have to write the rent check….oh, well….and there is a huge blizzard coming our way for later today and tomorrow that is going to be a pain…but this is Michigan after all and we all have to expect this at least once in a winter. So, this might throw a wrench in the plans for today since it is supposed to start about 4 or so and I don’t want to be out shooting pool and have to take the back roads home after a few cocktails…we’ll see. Tomorrow will be a hibernation day I’m sure but I may walk out to watch the Wings game if it gets really bad…should be able to get a seat…not much to do today…stayed in last night since G was working late so I feel okay today…have some work to do at her house this morning but then the rest of the day hinges on the weather. I have plans for later in the week but I’m not going to share those right now…I have to keep a few things for subsequent posts…so I can shoot for more than 70 of these for the month…didn’t do too bad last month….I should have more posts for later but with the work at G’s, It won’t be until after lunch….

Well…another month gone and we are one month closer to spring…here in Michigan it’s a countdown that I think most of us do…so maybe only a month or so and we will start to see the temps go up and the first whiffs of spring start to appear…didn’t do much yesterday…I had to watch Daytona but then just read a bunch and cleaned a little…just a little, though….did have some weird dreams last night that involved mutants that were part eagle and part rat….never did see what they looked like since I woke up just as we were going to attack a mall and wipe them out….tried to recover it sleeping a little more but it didn’t work…oh, well….not much to do today, might meet up with G later since I haven’t seen her in three weeks…I will have to get out my last ever sister Sarah post and a few more to get the numbers up for the month…I don’t feel that bad, though…over sixty for the month with only one placeholder is not bad….so, on that note…I’m going to get ready to go out for coffee…..more later….

Well…a long day yesterday…had a fun SF with K and V and that set the tone for the rest of the day..starting at noon, takes a lot out of you, though and I’m kind of glad I don’t do that much anymore. I did cook that huge ham and now I have enough food for the week…have to start looking for recipes to use it all but that won’t be too difficult. No dream report for last night…again and I don’t know why…oh, well…not much to do today…I still have that damn bug that I’ve had for two weeks now and it is getting really old so I think it will be a lay low day where I just watch the rest of Daytona and then try to get a couple more of these out….still no outrage worked up over anything but you never know what will be in the paper today….so, heading for the couch and coffee…need to turn the music on and chill….more later…

Well…a nice night of movies and popcorn last night…watched “The American” with George Clooney in it and it was a pretty good story…it unfolded very slowly and was one of those quiet movies…no big explosions or frenetic action…but, I really like that kind of stuff…seemed Swedish to me…okay, I got that from watching “The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets Nest” earlier in the day…another quiet movie…didn’t do much else yesterday. No dreams to report…darn…I feel more like me when I have those weird ones…but there is always tonight…not much to do today…possible a SF with K…I’ll have to look at my phone to see..I think I got a text from her last night but don’t remember…I did get a couple form C and T after I went to bed so I’ll have to return those this morning after I go out for papers…going to make coffee here since I feel a little low…more later…

Well…another day of fighting off the boredom but I was at least a little successful because I had some work to do around here. It was nice to talk to G last night…it’s been quite a while since we’ve had a long conversation and that helped get through the evening. I don’t mean to sound depressed of boring but my life has been kind of boring lately…trying to conserve cash keeps me in a lot and no response to the resumes I’ve put out is starting to effect me more than it has in the past….I still have that little flicker of hope inside though, and I will try to keep it burning as long as I can….did talk to my daughter yesterday and she is becoming a real homeowner…replacing a toilet tank that was cracked yesterday…I think it is pretty cool that there is really nothing she won’t tackle. Not much to do today…going to get a few groceries and then out to read the papers….I don’t think the Pando trip is going to happen since I have not heard from anyone but that may be okay…can save some money and complete the recovery from the flu….I will have topics for later…I may need to get to the lies that the right is propagating about the “failed welfare sates” in Europe….geez…these guys lie about everything…

Well…It was kind of a boring day yesterday but the flu is finally receding….I think..slept okay last night but no dreams so that’s a little disappointing…no tiny bunnies or flaming clothes or celebrities….but I got a full 8 hours which is weird in itself….It may have been the antihistamines I took to keep my head clear overnight and be able to breathe so I’ll try it again tonight to see if that was it….I’m not even sore at all and it is nice to not have my neck hurt and be able to move it….little things still make me happy…not much to do today…have been trying to get some work done around here but haven’t had much luck..today should be the day to get moving, though, and I am looking forward to it. I am not looking forward to the snow storm we are supposed to get fri night….I haven’t really shifted into survival mode yet but this storm should do it….if you’ve lived in Michigan or anywhere else where there is lake effect snow, you know what I’m talking about…if not, consider yourself lucky…at least I don’t live in Buffalo…more later…

Well…a semi crappy night of sleep and I don’t think I’m completely over the flu yet…yeah, I know I said I thought I was yesterday but it was just another one of those teasers that come when you are starting to feel better…and then relapse…kind of disheartening since I needed to feel better today…have lots to do and need some energy to do it with….but, I can throttle back if need be….things may be looking up on the job front…had ten resumes go out yesterday and I am of mixed feelings about that…I know I have to go back to work but it’s intoxicating not working….I am becoming bored as heck, though, so it might be a good thing to find work. Other than Ada…which I’m still not sure about, I do have to run a bunch of errands and get some work done around here…I’ll try to get a topic out later but it is Tuesday, after all…….more later…
