Well…this is going to be a short one…have fallen off the cliff again and I am having trouble just writing this little bit…the car broke again yesterday and I am so broke that I am going to have to beg off the friends Christmas dinner with G since I can’t afford the 50 bucks or so the food would cost….it feels like my life is a black hole that is slowly consuming itself…so, I won’t make the promise of coming back later…

Well…another night of boredom but I think it was okay…I survived it, after all, and I’m back to do this for a while…it was a pretty good day yesterday…made turkey soup from the carcass of the t-day turkey and it came out a little strange…the orange juice that I used to brine it really came out in the soup so it has a kind of citrus taste that I didn’t expect…but it is still good and I have 3 containers in the freezer. Looks like another day of no riding and I am not looking forward to it…oh, well…not much to do today…might have a couple with K later but I haven’t heard from her so it may be another day of staying in…saves cash so I guess I shouldn’t complain…okay, going to go watch W.C. Fields in “The Bank Dick” and veg….more later…

Well….another night of the normal stuff but the Wings won so that made it a little better….I am running late today and just looked outside to see that there is snow on the car which just depresses the heck out of me…I know it’s December in Michigan but it doesn’t make it any easier…oh, well…looks like no bike ride today but that may be okay…the wind yesterday was just brutal and I am sore everywhere….not much to do today….and I really mean it this time…I will go out for coffee but that’s about it…and I will be back here for a couple since I don’t have anything else to do….more later…

Well…another night and no cocktails for 5 in a row…not having all of those calories is a good thing and I feel quite good so far toiay….it was another bore of a night last night with no Wings but today will be different so I have something to look forward to….no dreams to report either so this one is going to be really boring for you, too. I did get a ride in yesterday which put me over 2700 miles for the year and there even may be more coming later in the week or weekend…..and I guess I am appreciating every extra day that I get…and I did feel so much better after the ride…oh, well…not much to do today…that’s not really true…I have to do the grocery run, make a nice lunch of roast pork, and then out for HH with K and V…it will be nice to get out of here and talk to some humans for a change…and there is a Wings game tonight so it will be quite a full day for a change….I will have more later that will be better but those damn politicians aren’t helping….

Well…another night, another Wings loss and that depresses me some…but it is a long season and they will come back out of this slump….but the rest of the night was a bore as always and I was watching the clock just waiting to go to bed…but the problem with that is that you get up the next morning and it starts all over again. Sounds like a Pink Floyd lyric….but, it is another day and I will have to make the most of it…I did get some cleaning done yesterday and that will continue today, too….there are spiders to be removed and food to be cooked so that is something to look forward to. It is supposed to be 35 today so I may be able to get out for a ride, too, but that’s what they said about yesterday and it never got over 32….not much to do today….going to just do the normal routine and then come back here and try to get a few of these out….and I may even have something relevant to say….or maybe not, who knows?

Well…it as been a long day of nothing really…maybe why it felt so long..at least I did get some cleaning done including getting the cobwebs off the road bike and finally putting the papers out to recycle. It looks like a long stretch of not seeing anyone this week and it’s not getting any easier….oh, well….and it is a no cocktail night for the next three to rest the liver and cut down on the calories…I’m still feeling quite guilty about not riding the bike everyday and that is compounding this malaise I feel…I guess I could feel good about getting four of these out today but then the guilt of not saying anything erases that completely….so, maybe I should just stop here and wait to see if there is any lucidity in my future…

Well…it was a long day yesterday and I am so glad to have the car stuff behind me but the money hit is still hurting and probably will for the next few days anyway….I did sleep okay last night but up at 6 or so and no dreams to report so it was kind of a bore…I do need to get a bunch of stuff done today and that includes more and more resumes, as always, and some general cleaning…you would think, living alone, that this place couldn’t get very dirty but it does…oh, well….not much to do today…I am going to enjoy having the car back and getting back into the routine and cook some new food…have been doing leftovers for almost a week and the idea of chicken is appetizing again….I will get to a political one today so come back later and see how I do….

Well…with the car out of order for the last three days..I have been really quite out of sync and haven’t been able to get the brain working too well…I guess just too much worrying about getting things done and finding that job…I am hoping that things will level out tomorrow when I get back to the normal routine….and by cutting back on the cocktails to one per night…I am going to try to get back into the political stuff, too, but that just hasn’t been working well, either. So, I guess I’ll just keep trying and see if I can work it out….let’s write this day off as a mulligan and just go forward….you know, I have been doing this for almost two years now and averaging two a day over that time is an accomplishment of some sort…not sure what yet…

Well….after not having this available for a couple of days, I’ve gotten behind and do need to catch up…so, that means that this one might not be worth your reading…but, I hope so…it has been a morning to forget really….did talk to T via text and that has been the high point of my day so far…had tacos for brunch….can it be brunch if your not out with someone? Well..it was tacos at 10:45 anyway and that was pretty weird…and my stomach has gone into flip flops…might be from the cocktails last night but I only had two so that can’t be it….and the rest of the day looks to be one of just cleaning or watching old movies and the old movies are winning right now…”Top Hat” with Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers…one of my favorites is on right now and I think I’ll go back to the couch for a few minutes and watch….more later…

Well…another night, a few cocktails, and the boredom was kept at bay to get to today….I even slept okay, I think, since I didn’t get up until 7 or so….but I don’t remember much of it….it is pretty boring sitting around here…nope, not going to got there….sitting here waiting for the rain to stop so I can go get the paper on the bike…and use up the last of the coffee…it will be nice to get the car fixed tomorrow and have that out of my mind…okay….not feeling it right now so I’m going to go make the coffee and watch a little tv…more later…

Okay…back for a minute since my brain has started to function again…don’t know if it is a sign of aging or what but it seems I need an hour or so to get up to speed in the morning…hmmmmm…I guess I should be thankful that it only takes an hour…I did ride the bike out to get the paper and the radar was wrong…it looked clear but it was still raining and I got quite wet…it seems strange that your life condenses down to a series of short activities as it gets smaller…just want to get through tomorrow and get the car back and then I can take on the bigger stuff of looking for work….I really miss “Jazz Brunch” that used to be broadcast on WLAV Sunday mornings but I guess Pandora is doing the same thing over the internet…okay…that’s enough for this one…nope, not yet…not much to do today…I do have a conundrum for later today when the Lions and Wings play at the same time later….and I am going to get a ride in today..in shorts…which is still not a record…rode in shorts January 1st of this year, but it would be cool to ride in them on Dec 31st…well..cool to me, but probably not to you…but I’m a little off…and happy to be…
