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…

Well….got up this morning with an inkling that it might be a good day since I had a couple of cocktails sun night and felt quite a bit better when I got up….still tried to be smart and took it easy other than going out for coffee…just vegged and read on the couch all day…finished a whole book today, it just felt right to have the music on Pandora and watch as the shadows sundialed across my living room….okay, I’m sounding kind of poetic now and you know that’s not me…I had this blast of energy about 5 or so and I have stopped coughing for the most part…even felt good enough to go out and walk a few miles but we’ll see later if that was a good idea….felt good while I was out so that is a good sign….so, this flu was not so bad…it is quickly fading from memory as I feel better and the prospects of a better tomorrow are making me smile a little…

Well…another day of feeling crappy yesterday and it is getting really old…not much better this morning so it looks like another day of laying low…neither team that I wanted to win did yesterday….and if the Packers play like they did yesterday, it should be a blowout for the Steelers…but, I don’t really have any interest in it…weird dreams again last night and I can’t figure out why I still have the college dreams about losing my schedule and not being able to find my classes…have that one almost as often as I have the phone/computer dreams where I can’t make the damn things work….yep, it’s scary in my head at times…it would be nice to have a different one sometimes….not much to do today….I do need to get back to getting some exercise so I may get a walk in later….but, maybe not….I’m still sitting here with a fever and I want to get this crap over with….there should be topics for later today….and I need to get a last sister Sarah one out before the ban on her starts next week…

Well…I really thought I was getting over this damn bug but it doesn’t look that way….got up this morning feeling as bad as I have felt all week…and now we have new symptoms…yay? I have the worst headache and the itchy eyes and plugged up head have started in earnest….all I have to say is WTF? Maybe I didn’t get the start day straight…and T said that this would last 9-10 days so I might even have 4 or 5 more left…hope not…this is taking a lot out of me…I’m going back to the couch…watch a little football and just hang on until I feel better….have had to turn the heat up to about 80…just can’t get warm, either….
