February 1st

Well…another month gone by and I’m still idling, looking for work with my hope for ever finding work again slipping away as the days pass….but I won’t let it get me down…there is still life to live even thought it’s not the one I ever expected…and it was a no cocktail night last night so I feel okay today…still trying to sleep and might have to go back to the OTC sleeping pills for a while…I think part of the soreness that I have been feeling lately is from all of the tossing and turning that I do at night…the sheets were twisted into a rope after last night….the Wings did win last night but I didn’t see the third…it was just time to hit the sack when it started but that is the problem with west coast swings….the next two are 10 pm games and that is just way too late to see the whole thing…not much to do today…have to run a bunch of errands and then back her for more of the same…there should be politics for later so come on back….

Oh, it might be warm enough today to get back on the bike….I hope the 50 plus weather has melted the snow off the trails…I guess I’ll find out later this morning…

January 31st

Well…another night gone by and with it the month…I did have fun out with G for a while but then back here to just veg…I can’t wait for the Wings to play tonight, it has been almost a week since they played last and I have gone through withdrawal…it looks like a mild day today with 50 for the high and I am a little disappointed that there is snow on the trails and I can’t go ride….but, it’s a countdown now for the end of winter and surviving February is basically my only goal….not much to do today…I will probably just clean and put the papers out for recycling….okay, not feeling it again so I’m going to quit and come back later…only one more to go to meet the goal for the month so maybe I’ll make it a good one…

January 30th

Well…another day, another night, another morning, and they are all running together to the point that I’m having a hard time keeping track of what day it is….but, that is part of being old and unemployed and I’ll just have to get used to it…didn’t do much yesterday but watch the race and veg so I don’t have a lot to report…so, I’ll come back later and report it….not feeling it right now….

Okay…just got done with some work on C’s house and back here now to get back into the routine for the day…I do need to have lunch and then I’m going to work out and send some resumes…it looks like another wasted day but I’ll do my best to at least amuse myself…and I will come back for a political one later…

January 29th

Well…it was a day yesterday and had a little fun going out to meet up with the twins and V…it was nice to get out for while and to have the cash to do it…after that, it was just the normal thing of hanging out around here and watching the 24 hours of Daytona that I am waiting to come back on here in a few minutes for another 6 hours…it will be a nice screensaver for the day while I get some stuff done around here. No dreams to speak of…I know I had some but I don’t remember them so I guess it’s about the same thing as not having them…more snow last night and today and that is damn depressing but I guess I’ll live through it…after all, it has been a pretty good winter and only another month to go…I may have another one today but probably not…I am on pace for the month and I just don’t have the outrage necessary for me to be lucid…

January 28th

Well…running late this morning and part of it is the snow we had last night that took the air out of me and shifted me into a lower gear…but I survived it and got the papers and I’m now ensconced here for the day with Man U playing right now and the first race of the year coming on later in the day. I just love the 24 hours of Daytona and Speed has 7 1/2 hours of coverage on today so that will give me something to watch all day…..I did sleep okay last night but it was cocktail driven so I don’t know if that counts or not….other than that, not much to do today…might have a couple with K later but I’m not sure about that…I am going to make another pizza today with a scratch crust so that will be something to look forward to…going back to Man U….more later…

I think this is part two…

Well….I have been thinking about politics for some time today and have had a heck of a time coming up with a topic that would mean something..I mean I could go off on ole Mitt’s Swiss bank accounts or his tax shelters in the Cayman Islands…but that would be an easy target that I have already touched on here and I just can’t get worked up about a repeat…I did go out for a bike ride today after the flat yesterday but I was on edge the whole time waiting for it to go flat again even though I put a new tube in it…but, it looks like today was the last one for a week or so and that may be good since I am sore everywhere….I could go off on ole Newt for his wild ass promise that he will put a base on the moon if he is elected….good luck with that Newt….you’ll never get that through even a repub controlled Congress when they won’t even approve fixing the crumbling roads and bridges that cover the country…okay….that’s about it for the day so I’ll say come back tomorrow and see if I get better…it’s almost 1500 of these…it has to happen sometime…

January 27th

Well…it was a long day yesterday but I won at pool for the second week in a row so that was okay….I did have another flat on the bike yesterday and another 3 mile walk back here so I have new soreness to go with what is left from the crash…but that is getting better so maybe there will be no lasting damage….I was up all night last night with just getting to sleep for the final time around 3:30 but back up at 6:30 so there may have to be a nap later today….I need to fix the bike, too, so that means a trip out to get a new tube this morning….don’t want to miss the ride today since it is going to be almost 40….not much to do today…I have stuff to do around here so that will have to do it for the day….more later…

January 26th

Well…another night with no cocktails but still no sleep and that is starting to wear on me a bit….and the wings looked the worst I’ve seen them all year so I am glad we are at the All Star break and the guys will get some rest….I did have some weird dreams after I got up at 3 and then went back to sleep…it included boats, 66 Galaxies, an some rich old fart trying to ruin me just because he didn’t like me….yeah, I don’t know what that means either, but it was weird and fun and that’s a good thing…as I said yesterday, I did crash the bike yesterday but the most damage appears to be in the left wrist today…it is making some weird grinding noise when I move it but the pain is really low so it is probably just a sprain…and I am going out again today since it is going to be almost 40…not much to do today…I do have to make the grocery run but that is about it…more later…

January 25th

Well….it was another night but one with no cocktails so I feel better today and a little clearer….I did watch the big speech last night and there were parts that were okay but I skipped the repub response since I could write that one myself…taxes and government bad, class warfare good, job creators are gods…etc, and just couldn’t stomach any more of that nonsense…I will read it later in the papers just to see if there is anything new but I’m not expecting it…I did sleep a little better but still no dreams so I guess I’m still boring…I am going to try out the George Foreman that K gave me today but that is about the extent of the new stuff that is going to happen…I am going to clean again today since the papers are towering over my computer and I don’t want a landslide to cause any injuries…I am going to try to get out on the bike today but I’ll have to wait for later to make sure that the ice is melted….more later…

Okay…thought I should update this one with today’s happenings on the trail…crashed the bike big time on the ice today and I’m now sitting here taking inventory of what I hurt…there’s the left wrist, right wrist, elbow, and shoulder, my neck and my back…don’t think there is any permanent damage but I do need to get some ibuprofen and see….I’ll keep you updated…

January 24th

Well…another long day yesterday and I think I’ll have to take a couple of weeks off to start to feel better…and I was up at 3, 4:38, and 5:30, so that doesn’t help. It was fun to see T and G yesterday so it was worth it, I guess…it was nice to get out on the bike yesterday but it looks like the last time until spring so I do need to take the bike over and wash it…but not today…not much to do today…I think I’ll make it a recovery day and skip the papers and coffee..it is still icy out there and I really don’t feel like chopping the car out…more later….
