February 20th

Well…it was a day yesterday with the Wings winning again but I didn’t do much except kind of veg here…it’s the no cash thing raring it’s ugly head again and that is going to mean no coffee again this morning so the topics may be a little limited with only the online papers to read…it was a cocktail night last night so I feel a little slow today but I am trying to get going….no dreams to speak of and I am dreading looking at the phone…I may have sent a couple of texts that I will regret this morning…I do need to work on the self control….oh, well…I hope T lets it go but I haven’t heard from her this morning so It may have been weird….not much to do today…just going to clean and get a few other things done around here…I will get caught up later today but right now I’m going to just veg for a few….more later…

February 19th

Well…sitting here waiting for the car to thaw so I thought I’d get one out early for a change…it was a normal day yesterday…didn’t do much but watch the races and Michigan beat Ohio State last night so that was pretty cool…it was a cocktail night so I don’t feel that hot this morning but that is to be expected…the coffee will help in a few minutes and I am going to take it easy all day today since I’m broke and can’t afford to do anything…I do have some pork ribs to cook so that will be something and the Wings are playing early so that will be cool, too…I’m not going to promise that I will be back later….you know how it goes on the weekends…

February 18th

Well…running really late today and that just compounds the fact that I didn’t get to a second one yesterday…I have an excuse…not a good one but it’s the only one I have so I’ll use it…I had lunch with T that included beer and then out with the twins and there was a nap in there, too, so I just didn’t get to it…I’ll try to be better today since I don’t have much to do today…I even put the paper down to get to this one…and, if you know me, that is like stopping breathing….so, this one is going to be short…the lunch with T was so much fun and I came away with my chest hurting I laughed so much..it always brightens my day…oh, one last thing for now…as you know, I’ve been having problems with the shifters on the bike, cleaning and cleaning them to get the 4-5 shift to work…yesterday I had a head slap moment and made a quarter turn adjustment to the cable and it fixed it….don’t know how I forgot that the damn thing is adjustable…I marvel at my denseness at times…more later…

February 17th

Well…it was a nice day yesterday and I got out on the bike for the first time in more than a week and came back really muddy but it was still nice to get out…I did have really weird dreams that included standardized tests that said I was not qualified to do anything….which is kind of how I feel these days…but, I do have lunch with T today which is making me smile and the twins are up for cocktails this weekend which will give me something to do instead of sitting here and worrying about money…I would say not much to do today but that wouldn’t be true so I won’t…..I will be back for more later..things are starting to heat up in politics and that is making me smile, too…

February 16th

Well…if you look down, you’ll see that I did finish up the placeholder from last night so look down…it’s something that everyone should know about…it was a good day yesterday with finally starting to get my profile up on Linkedin and that led to a call from my bother where we argued about politics for two hours…kind of wearing….but I slept okay last night and, as I said, it was a no cocktail night so I am somewhat lucid this morning…I did just look outside and it really foggy and cool looking but it’s not warm enough yet to get the bike out…later today, though, and I am really excited at the possibility….there were dreams that included my 77 Chrysler again but that is about all I remember about it…not much to do today…I do have the grocery run today and maybe even going out to Biggby’s for coffee but I tried yesterday and they were closed…who closes in the middle of the week? I will have more later since the placeholder doesn’t count for today…and I do have a comment on the nonsense being perpetrated on women by the repubs in Virginia…

February 15th

Well…it was a normal day yesterday but I made a little cash so I can at least get groceries this week….and the Wings won their 21st straight home game last night to set a record for the league…I have never heard the Joe so loud as it was last night and now it’s looking forward to Friday to make it 22…sleep was better last night…still not great but better, and with it being a no cocktail night, I feel okay today….but the underlying fact that I’m broke again kind of limits how good I can feel…it is just so wearing to have to worry about every penny all day every day…but, that’s how it is for now…not much to do today..might have lunch with T but that is still up in the air for now…that’s about it…I will have a few new ones later in the day…not sure of the topics yet and they might even be interesting…

February 14th

Well…another night with just being bored around here and I wonder why I can’t sleep if I’m so bored….but that was the story last night with being up at 2,3,4, and 5 so I’m really tired this morning…I haven’t looked out to see if it snowed last night and I don’t think I’m going to…skipping coffee again today since it costs me 6 bucks a day to get it and the papers…I do miss it, though, but maybe I’ll make a new routine that involves making coffee here and making do with the online papers…I guess it really is hermit time for now…not much to do today….I do feel the need to accomplish something today so I think I’ll start getting rid of some stuff and do some cleaning….I will be back later for at least one…

February 13th

Well…a long, boring day yesterday that culminated in some cocktails so that was okay…but, I feel like crap this morning and my brain has not started to work yet so this is going to be a short one…I need to conserve what little cash I have so coffee and the papers is out for this week along with going out with G…it looks like a hermit week unless things change….be back later for more…

Okay..it has been another day today with some surprises and I am late getting back here for more but I did come back…did decide to go out and shoot pool with Tom but I am in debt again since I’m too broke to buy booze….I did win at pool so that was a plus but I haven’t been able to come up with a topic for today but maybe Keith will do that in a few minutes….who knows? If I can’t come up with one later…I’ll promise that I’ll try more tomorrow…

February 12th

Well…another somewhat boring day yesterday but I survived it with a little creativity…and every horizontal surface in this place has been cleaned so I feel good about that…and State beat that school in Ohio…and Everton knocked off Chelsea which is always a good thing to see….but there is not much to see in sports today other than the Wings playing later that I will have to watch on the computer again..but that’s not a good thing since they have lost every game that I’ve watched on Versus…I did have a repeater of a dream last night but I don’t remember what it was so it wasn’t one of my favorites…not much to do today…I do have a pork loin that I am going to make with some roasted asparagus but then I will have to be creative again to keep the boredom at bay…and, since I’m broke again, I’ll have to make do with things around here…and try to stay up until 11 to see the new episode of Ab Fab…probably won’t make it but I’ll give it a try…more later…

February 11th

Well…it was a fun day yesterday even thought it snowed…didn’t get the bike out and now it looks like it will be next week before I get on it again…I did get out for a couple with G last night and it was a chore coming home with all of the ice and snow…I didn’t get back here for a political one yesterday and I don’t know why..I just didn’t have the outrage necessary, I guess but I will try to do better today…not much to do today…it’s only 6 degrees outside right now so I do need to warm the car up before I go out for the papers…then I’m just going to clean this place up and do laundry…yeah, exciting, I know…

One thing I forgot to mention is the soccer day that is going on this morning..just watched Man U beat Liverpool and Chelsea and Everton are coming on in a few minutes…and I really want Everton to win since they have 2 Americans on the team and it is good to root for Tim Howard and Landon Donovan….oh, and it is only 5 degrees outside but I was out cleaning off the car in shorts..kind of a badge of honor but there was no wind so it didn’t feel that cold…I am going to try to come back and do two later but who knows?
