Still cheatin’…..

Well…I did not know how much I missed the bike rides until I got out on it this morning…it is such a mood elevator that after 3 miles I could actually smile again and started to feel so much better….the shifter is making me nuts but that will be fixed tomorrow if the bike shop is open….I am going to have to really watch it with the sun and the car since my head is already peeling from the test drive exposure and I really don’t need to get skin cancer from my car….there are still 1100 miles of racing to watch today and I’ve already seen two races…two more to go and I may even have a political one for you that popped into my head while I was out on the bike….

As I said, I need to cheat…

Well…I am five behind on these for the month and running out of days so I am going to cheat…and I’m not going to feel bad about it….have been looking at the radar and it looks like HL is getting drowned and I feel bad for T being up there for the weekend…I kind of wish it would storm here….but not in Indy since I do need to see the race….okay, going to go look at the radar again…nope, nothing in Indy so I have to get the bike ride in after Monaco….and it’s going to rain there in a minute so that will be neat to see….I did finally start to eat yesterday and that made this morning okay even with cocktails last night….okay, going back to the race…more later…

May 27th

Well…it was a long day yesterday and a cocktail night so I am feeling a little low today..but it is the day of the year for races with the GP2 race already done, then the F1 race is on in a few minutes, followed by Indy and then the world 600 later in the day…so you know what I’ll be doing today…I am going to try to wedge a bike ride in, too, since I fixed the flat but the shift cable is coming apart and I’m not sure if it will survive another day out….but, I am going to try it…but, right now, the coffee has just finished and I need to read the paper…more later…

Part two…

Well…with all of the events of this week and the resulting lack of motivation to do these, I find myself almost too far behind to catch up for the month so I’m going to do some cheating today….the car is growing on me as I drive it and that is a good thing..showed it to a couple of friends this morning and they were in love with it….I wonder if I should be concerned that it was a couple of gay guys? Nope….it is a cool car….I finally got to the grocery store this morning and got tons of foods in different varieties so I won’t be bored but I am still having the problem that nothing tastes good and I had to gag down a burger that I made for lunch…oh, well….I hope it does go away since I do need to eat…I may even skip the bike ride today since I haven’t fixed the bike yet and don’t feel like it….so, I think I’ll go back to the couch for a while and drink some more water….and wait for the race to come on…

May 26th

Well…it was a long day yesterday with picking up the new car and then out to have a couple with K…well…that’s not true, she didn’t have any since she is pregnant and I am so happy for her and J…..and I do like the new car…found out it has one leak by the drivers door but I expected many more of them and it can be adjusted so I’m not concerned….it’s not like the Fiat that leaked everywhere…still not feeling it today …I have been out for groceries already and it is before 8…had to get it done before the F1 qualifying comes on and it is weird to be in Meijers that early…especially after it being a cocktail night….more later…

May 25th

Well…running late this morning and it is not even the weekend…I’m not sure what it is but I am depressed again today and really just don’t want to get into it…but, I’m sure that will pass later this morning…it has been trying over the past week without a car but I am picking the new one up today and that will be a relief since the bike now has a flat and I am down to walking….that might be part of it but there is more to it than that….I think I’ll keep this one short for now since I’m not feeling it and come back later after I get the walk to the bank done…more later…

May 24th

Well…it was an exhausting day yesterday…not really exhausting, I didn’t do much, not even a bike ride but I was exhausted all day and I’m not sure what the cause is….I did try to eat more since that would be the logical reason and that may have been it since I do feel better this morning…or it could be allergies since I pulled a muscle in my neck from sneezing yesterday that still hurts…I am getting ready to go out for the papers to try to get back into the normal routine and maybe the coffee will help…didn’t yesterday but I need to give it a try again today….more later….

Okay…had to add to this one after the bike ride…lost that vehicle, too, with getting a flat out on the trail and walking back 3 miles…but all I could do was laugh…I would have been surprised if it didn’t happen with how the last week has gone…..

May 23rd

Well….it was a long day yesterday and I was up all night so this one is going to be short…I did find a car yesterday so that is one less thing to think about and it is the Miata that I have been looking for….pretty cool to have another convert and I think it will make for a summer of fun….tight now, I am going to put on a pot of coffee, ride over to get the papers, and relax….I can’t survive on 4 hours of sleep for much longer or not eating for that matter….

Okay….I am still so tired that I can barely move today and I hope it’s from not wanting to eat over the past few days…I did go out and get a sub from Subway for lunch but that hasn’t helped at all to restore my energy….I sure hope this goes away in the next couple of days since I don’t even want to get out on the bike today and that is not a good thing…I am really trying to get some political stuff out since I had dreams with ole Mitt in them last night and that would be good fodder for a post…I am really trying but I don’t know what is going on….

May 22nd

Well…it was a long day yesterday and still no luck with finding a car which is making me kind of discouraged….I was really good yesterday trying to make the aches go away and I think it may have worked some…and taking the day off from all physical activity has helped my legs quite a bit…so, today will be a full out. find a car day and then rent one tomorrow so I can go out looking…I hope to find one before the money is in my account Friday so I don’t have to go through another weekend carless….I am going to make coffee here in a minute since I didn’t even have that yesterday and I’m going out to get the papers, too….need to get back to some sort of a normal routine today and that will help…and, I will be back for a couple more later to get caught up…

One thing that has surprised me about this whole ordeal is how depressed it has made me…and my friends know how much I love to work out and get on the bike every day…but yesterday, it was like there was this huge weight on top of me that wouldn’t allow me to do anything…and the nausea that started with the accident is still with me along with the lack of appetite for anything…I think I’ve averaged about 500 calories a day since the crash…got the waist down a little but I know it’s not good for me…but, for some reason I just don’t care….even the newspapers have no attraction to me…and, as you know, that is like breathing to me….it’s like I’ve been sleepwalking since Thursday…it was bad enough being unemployed before but this is just so much worse….

May 21st

Well…it was a day of healing yesterday and there were cocktails last night so I am running late today….the same dreams of the crash came back again with some twists but I really don’t remember it too clearly so that’s a good thing….have been looking for a new car and have decided to get a Miata if I can find one…but, I’m not going to spend more than 3500 bucks so that limits the field somewhat….okay…this is not working so I am going to stop here and came back later to try again…

Okay…this one was probably the most veg day that I have done in a few years but I think I needed it…no workout or bike ride even….and, as you can see, no political one today, either but I am going to try later on…and I have not been able to find a car yet and that is quite depressing…
