Well…the wind has been blowing like crazy out here all day until it just stopped a few minutes ago and that is pretty weird…did two rides again today so I don’t feel guilty about having two meals with my breakfast bagel…going to have breakfast for dinner with eggs, sausage, and toast later to use up the eggs so I can get another dozen tomorrow…have 2 pounds of bacon in the freezer so I’ll have to thaw a half pound package later in the week…need to get reading right now to finish off the book I have going so I can get more Thursday along with picking up my beach stickers and paying the water bill…okay, time to read…

Well…another day of waking up a little after 4 and then out of bed a little after 5 and that just frickin sucks…haven’t slept well for weeks now and tonight will be the night I take something for it…it’s only 17 degrees out there right now and I’m tired of it being so cold all the time…but it is February in Michigan and at least it’s not below zero as it has been in the past…and there is a warm up coming next week but it’s going to be March so it should be warming up…not sure what I’m going to do today other than the normal stuff and reading but I should be cleaning something and I’ll have to figure that out later…I do need to treat my face again right now even though it barely hurts and I hope that means it’s healing…okay, the right side does hurt a bit and that means it’s been 5 days of hurting and that sucks…need more coffee and to get off my butt and get going…more later…

Well..even though it never got over 25 degrees today, he sun was strong enough to melt most of the snow we got over the past couple of days…I did have to shovel the snow after the rides but I did two rides today…going to try to keep that up the rest of the week…I did get a few things done around here today and I’m making progress on some little things…my face is healing and I’ll bet it will be back to normal in a week or so…I am curious to see if all of the keratosis are gone or if I’ll need to treat again…I did make one of the 4 cheese pizzas I got at DD and it wasn’t bad after I put pepperoni, ham, green pepper, onion, and green olives on it…and that will keep me eating for another two days…and I still have 4 more pizzas in the freezer…okay, time for a movie…

Well…damn, up a little after 4 and out of bed at 5:13 and that is getting to be just so damn boring…feel a little worn out today but that won’t stop me from getting the 2 hours of exercise this morning…was not successful eating more yesterday…I mean a bagel, bowl of soup, and a salami sandwich is under 1K calories and that is just not sustainable since I burn 600 on every ride…oh, well…didn’t get a lot done yesterday but with the Olympics being over, I’ll have time to get some cleaning done…need to hit the city offices to pay my water bill and pick up my beach stickers for the car but I still have a book to read before that so it won’t be til Wed or so…the coffee isn’t working yet so I’m going to pour another cup down to jump start this tired old body…and the get after the day…more later…

Well…it snowed enough and it’s cold enough so the snow won’t melt so I’m going to have to go out and shovel later…I did get a good start to the day today with getting the weight work and one ride in before the gold medal hockey game started…and we’re up 1-0 at the start of the 2nd…even got a good start on eating enough with a toasted bagel and cream cheese…but I’m not sure what I’m going to do today other than watch the game and the race later…I am going to try to make a pizza later for dinner…and go down and get the 2nd ride in….more later…

Well…I don’t know how I’m going to do it but I need to break this pattern of waking up at 4:30 and getting out of bed at 5am….it’s just not sustainable and I really do need more sleep…but I’ll dig deep and get things done…the men’s hockey final is on at 8am so I’ll need to get at least one ride in before that…didn’t eat anywhere near enough calories yesterday with just a bagel and two bowls of soup so I’ll have to fix that today…thinking of trying one of the 4 cheese self rising pizza that will add lots of calories…going to add pepperoni, green pepper, onions, and ham along with some extra cheese…should be about 700 calories for two slices so I’ll get close to the thousand calories I need for the day…not going to do much else today since the lack of calories has me in go slow mode today…edging toward March but it’s not going to warm up for 10 days or so…so I guess I’ll just hunker down and survive it…more later…

Well…I did suck it up and get two rides in indoors today since it is cold out there and it snowed overnight…and I had everything done by 9am other than making the potato soup for lunch…I really do have to get going and look at the other two cities we’re visiting in Italy so my daughter can get them on the schedule…I finally finished the Robert Ludlum novel I started working on wed…his are packed so densely and long so it’s not an easy read…and I still have a pair of James Patterson’s that I have to do…but races are starting right now with the trucks and then the sportsman race a little later…and I may take the rest of the day off and just watch…I may just have a second bowl of soup for dinner so I don’t have to cook anything…

Well…damn, up at 5:01 this morning and I’m going to pay for that later today…didn’t sleep much last night but I really don’t want to get back in the habit of taking something for it…I guess that just comes with getting old…almost all of the snow was gone until it started to snow again yesterday afternoon but I’m used to that after this long crappy winter….my skin has already started to heal after finishing off the peel cream yesterday and I just treated it again with the steroid to help that…it doesn’t hurt much now so I’ll take that, too…plan on making some potato soup today but I’m not sure if I’ll get to it…have lots of other stuff to eat but some of that is going to end up in the freezer even with eating 3 meals…and that is going to be the plan for today since I do feel better with doing that yesterday…not much to do today…have two races to watch from Atlanta and two bike rides to do so I need to get going right now…more later…

Well…When I got up way too early this morning, I felt like crap and had no energy so I immediately knew it was from not eating enough…so today I had a bagel for breakfast, a salami sandwich for lunch, and the an egg sandwich with ketchup for dinner…that may have gotten me to 1K calories for the day and I know I feel a lot better right now…I finished off the treatment of the lesions today and started coating them with the steroid ointment but I’m going to wash it off before I go to bed so I don’t stain my pillowcases…it looks like they’ve started to heal some since they are not the blazing red they were…sure hope it’s going to fix it…I do have enough of the medicine cream left to do the whole treatment again if I have to…but I sure don’t want to…more hockey and reading..

Well…up a little after 5am today and I just didn’t see the point of trying to sleep more…so I’m going to be in slow mode today and just ease into the day…I do need to get the weight work and one ride in before I head out to pick up a prescription and then make a run to DD to pick up some 4 cheese self rising pizzas for 2 bucks each and then just look for other deals…and some honey ham for 3 bucks a pound which is not a screaming deal but still a good deal…it’s supposed to snow this aft but the radar isn’t showing it yet…but I can’t do anything about it so I’m not going to think about it…it is still winter in Michigan so getting snow is expected…and it’s been warm enough to melt most of the snow so it will be easy to get out and in with the car…it’s the last day of treating my skin with the peel and I am looking forward to starting the healing process tomorrow…or maybe even later today…more later…
