One last one for the month….

Well….it’s been another day today but with the running text conversation with T this morning I could smile a little bit..and I got back on the bike for a ride so that made a big difference in my mood….other than that, it was just a normal day, just like the rest of them and I had high hopes that there would be a few jobs out there but that was not the case….so, I stayed in for another day and didn’t spend the cash for the papers or coffee which does depress me a little but what can you do? I am looking forward to another evening with no cocktails…I wonder if I’m getting tired of that, too? Then what would I replace that with? I do love the ice water so maybe that would be the thing…it would probably be better for me so I guess I could think about it…okay….I thought this one was going to be better than this and I was going to have something interesting to say…no such luck…oh, well.

February 29th

Well…another day, another night and I feel pretty good this morning with it being a no cocktail night but I did go out and lose at pool yesterday aft…it was good to finally get out and do something after being in for the entire week last week and the start of this one…still have not gone out and read the papers this week and I am getting used to staying in and saving money but I do miss the coffee shop….oh, well…life changes and you just have to get used to it….I am going to make it to 60 here for the month thanks to the extra day but I really didn’t need to do that to get to the goal of two per day….and I should go over this aft after I get some stuff done around here and work out…I may be out on the bike in shorts this aft if the rain stops…it’s supposed to be in the 50’s and that will be cool since I haven’t been on it in the last week…not much to do today…just going to wing it and see how the day unfolds…more later…

February 28th

Well…it was a wasted day yesterday and I’m not sure why…felt pretty crappy all day until I met up with T for a couple and we had some huge fun…feel better today but still not very lucid right now so this one will probably be short…I do need to get a couple of these out today and that will be the goal along with paying the electric bill…have to meet up with T for a short minute some time today but that will be it…and the Wings play later so that will be something to look forward to…..there were really weird dreams last night that involved a house I’d never been in and lots of cars parked in the house…yep, pretty strange…more later…

Completely forgot that it is primary day here in Michigan…so…go out and vote if you are a repub…the rest of us will just look on in awe of the nonsense…

February 27th

Well…this one is going to be short since I was out to meet up with C and then back here for cocktails last night…so, I feel a little off today and I will be taking it easy all day until I meet up with T later…there are things to do today with Daytona being postponed until this morning and licking the wounds that follow from bad decisions…heading to the couch for large amounts of ice water…

Okay….I did get moving today but I’m still feeling kind of crappy and I think some of it is from not eating enough yesterday…got my hair cut finally and I think that will be about it for the day….probably won’t even be back for another one since my lucidity is awol and I really don’t think it will come back any time soon…I’ll try but no promises..

February 26th

Well…I’m here early for a Sunday and I don’t know why…this one is going to be short since the bottom fell out yesterday and continues today….just don’t have anything to say or the energy to say it….I may be back later if things improve but probably not…I just can’t see it….

Okay..it’s later in the day and things are looking a little better but not too much…the text talk with T today has brightened my spirits somewhat so I thought I’d come back and do a little more…it was an okay night last night but the Wings lost their third in a row and with it being a cocktail night last night, I did feel pretty crappy…still do a little but it’s getting better…with this being the 4th day off the bike I am getting a little crabby but there is a break coming so I may be able to get back on it tomorrow…going to try anyway…not much to do today…may meet up with C for a couple later if he gets his water heater fixed but that is about it with K being in Mexico…I may even feel good enough later to add another one…but, I am ahead for the month and only have to do 58…

February 25th

Well…as always, I’m running late today and there really isn’t any reason for it other than I read the papers and had coffee…the Roku just locked up for some reason while I was playing Pandora but it restarted so I guess it’s all good…I did have a nice night last night with K calling and going out with her for a couple before she and J head off for Mexico today….the weird thing is, I’m not really jealous but I’m happy that she is going to have some fun…while I sit here in Michigan in Feb….but that’s okay since it is going to be a huge sports day today with the Nationwide race this aft then Michigan, State, and the Wings playing later…I think there is even some soccer in there, too…I just might watch the Chelsea match this morning to see if they lose again….don’t know why I hate them but I do…drank an entire pot of coffee this morning so I do have to find a way to shed the caffeine overdose but I don’t know what that will be yet…with the snow, a bike ride is out of the question and it is too icy here to take a long walk…maybe I’ll just let it burn out on it’s own…it was a cocktail night after all and I guess I can use the lift….I don’t have to say not much to do today since I’ve already described it…I may be back for one later…okay, my fingers are dyslexic today and I’m going to stop here…

Boredom is a motivator at times….

Well…it has been another day and I have been trying to take the boredom and use it for good, not evil, and I have had some success today…I did get the bathroom cleaned and read some…then succumbed to watching a little tv…and I am now sitting here waiting for it to be cocktail time with the tv on in the background…should have Pandora on, I guess, but I listened to that for a few hours today and I am a little bored with it…there’s that word again…and I am going to have to figure out how to get through the weekend without spending any money again…I never understood how much I would miss riding the bike with the snow today and the trails being covered…okay…even I am bored with this one so I’m going to go and do something else…

February 24th

Well…this is going to be a short one…it was a cocktail night last night and I feel okay but not too lucid at the moment so I’m not going to force it…I am a little disappointed that the Wings lost last night but I can’t even work up any outrage about that…and there were no dreams or anything last night…I just feel so bland this morning and the snow overnight doesn’t help…won’t be able to get out on the bike for about a week until the snow melts and that is quite disappointing…so, on that note, I am going to go back to the couch and veg for a while……

Okay…I’m back for a few after reading and getting some coffee in me…did have to go out and clean off the car so I could move it for the plows but I did it in shorts so that woke me up some…need to do that again in a few minutes since it is still snowing and I am fighting the depression that comes with seeing all the white stuff…I had hoped we could get to March without a big storm but it is Michigan, after all, and this is to be expected…so, still being cashless, it looks like a veg weekend and staying in for me but that is okay…I’m starting to get used to the low-key days that brings me…I will be back for more politics later but I do have to clean the bathroom first…

February 23rd

Well…another night of boredom and no cocktails which makes it four in a row but I think I’ve reached the point of no return in feeling better for it….with the conserve cash mode in full swing, I haven’t even started the car in three days and it is going to smoke like crazy this morning…I do have to go out to get groceries but since I have to use the debit card, there are only 4 things on the list…and one them is cocktail fixing for the Wings game tonight…can’t deprive myself completely even thought I should…I did get the kitchen cleaned yesterday even though I was going to do the bathroom….it was just one of those things where you get started on a small thing and it explodes into a complete overhaul….so, today will be the same with the bathroom since I won’t be able to get out on the bike with the snow storm coming…other than that, not much to do today….I will be back for more later even though I’m ahead….there is so much political nonsense going on that I have to comment…

Okay…so I was wrong…there are things to do today…yay!….the twin 150’s from Daytona are on this aft and then there is a Wings game later…oh, I mentioned that above, didn’t I? So sue me….not really….still getting letters from the record companies…

February 22nd

Well…it was kind of a long day yesterday with not going out except to ride the bike…and the Wings lost last night so that put a damper on any enthusiasm I may have had for the evening…there were dreams that I don’t remember again so that is a little frustrating but I guess I’ll live through it…it was a no cocktail night for the third in a row and my liver is thanking me as I sit here feeling okay…or kind of okay…not sure if I can feel really okay anymore but I guess I’ll keep trying…it’s another broke day for me so no coffee out but I am going to make it here since it does help motivate me for the workout and bike ride….not much to do today…I was going to clean yesterday but I decided to read instead…that was T’s suggestion and I thank her for it…but I do need to do the bathroom today so that will be on the agenda…and I have an invasion of spiders that need to be taken care of so that will be a project…I will be back for one later but I haven’t decided on a topic yet so that will have to be a surprise….
