May 8th

Well…running about on time for a Sunday and I’ve already read the paper and had my first cup of coffee and it’s only 7am….and that is going to set up some boring time here since I want to watch Everton play at 9 and see if they can win and manage to stay up in the Premier League or go down to the Championship for the first time in over 60 years….and it’s too cold to go out on the bike right now at 39 degrees so I’m kind of stuck and have to just relax a bit until then…that’s harder than it looks and maybe I can use the time to clean the bathroom? It sure needs it and then I’d have an accomplishment that would keep the guilts at bay….still not sleeping well and I think that is not going to change so I’m not going to bitch about it…after all, I don’t remember ever sleeping like a normal person so that is just how it is…I’m not nearly as sore as I should be after doing 45 miles on the bike yesterday,  just more stiff than anything and I can live with that….the next goal is to do a 60 mile day and then start training for the big day coming up when I ride my age like I do every year from the time I turned 56….that one was a big frickin deal but I was only riding about 10-12 miles a day back then and 56 in a day was a good goal….I do have a spare rear tire that I am going to need to put on the bike in a month or so and I hope I can find another one for later in the year…there are still shortages since they all come out of China so I probably should start looking right now and get a couple of spares….not much to do today…I still think taking Sundays off is a good idea but that appears what it is evolving toward…an idea instead of reality and it will be hard to stay off the bike and not work on anything…so, I’ll probably be out on the bike by 11 after the Everton match but I’m not sure about cleaning the bathroom…we’ll see….more later…
