Well…that was too good to last…I really had hoped that the good sleep of Monday would be repeatable but I guess not…tossed and turned all night and finally gave up at 5:15…but I feel okay this morning so I guess there is something to this no cocktail thing…it seems to be getting easier to not have cocktails than to have them and I think that’s a good thing…so I’ll keep that up until at least Friday and only have a few over the weekend….I did get a few things done yesterday but not much on the house…got my hair cut and some new long pants to lounge around here at Meijers…they were only 9 bucks and I really like them so I think I’m going to get another pair with the grocery run today…got some new socks, too, and they are a little strange but I like them…they are calf length crew socks that were only 70 cents a pair for 10 pairs so I am set for socks now for the winter…and they work like compression socks and keep my feet warm on the bike so that is cool…I did get a bike ride in yesterday and that gets me down to about 30 miles left to 4500 and that should happen this week with a warm up coming after the bitter cold today…it is a little weird how my mindset has changed after getting my gas bill….knowing it is not going to be outrageous stops me cringing when the furnace comes on and I may even turn it up two degrees…but, probably not…I’m used to 65 degrees in here and I have lots of blankets for the couch….not much to do today….need to finish the sanding on the kitchen walls and get started on the trim pieces…then I need to look for screws to replace the bad ones I took out…will probably have to buy some but who knows? Still may be able to find them in the garage….more later….
