Well…this is a day I have been dreading for months now…another election day and another news blackout to try to maintain my sanity….slept through the night until 6:04 and I’m not sure why that happened…but I’ll take it…sure don’t feel like I did but I hope the coffee will fix that…I did go into the 20+ mph wind yesterday so I only did one ride but my back feels like I did 12…I am so damn sore today…but I’ll be on the indoor bike here in a minute to get a ride in before I head out for my dentist appointment at 10:20…and that will be the last thing I have to do for a couple of months…and I am looking forward to that…I do need to get moving on this place and finish up the leaves in the next couple of days but my only goal today is to get through the appointment and get back here…I have all week to do the leaves so there is really no urgency…I did get the microwave and coffee maker cleaned yesterday and I’ll probably continue to work on the kitchen today…I did do a lot of reading yesterday and finished up the first book and started another one…haven’t done a lot of that for the past few years and it’s because it seems like a waste of time when I have so much to do…not much to do today…just the dental appointment and bike rides so far…other things may come up later but right now all I want to do is have more coffee but I won’t read any news…more later…
