Well…is there a better way to wake up to the new year than to have “Monterrey Pop” on the tv and Janis doing “Ball and Chain”? Cripes, I’m back in 1968 again…I sure need the coffee to work soon and I will be making more in the pour over after the first ride..slept okay last night and didn’t get out of bed til about 6:30 and I sure needed that…haven’t been sleeping well lately…ha, lately? I don’t remember ever sleeping well…just saw the little weather widget at the bottom of the screen and it says 3 inches of snow today and it feels good that I don’t have to go anywhere for a week or so….going to make chicken Masala today and it will be good to not have ham and salt anymore…my BP is still over 130 this morning but that should change…I hope….not sure how I feel about starting over on the bike after doing the big year last year…is a new beginning or is it the bottom of a big hill again? I would really like to take a day off but that would break the string and I can’t do that….not much to do today…just cooking, football, and making more coffee but not yet…I can sit here for 20 minutes or so and have one more cup before I need to get moving…it’s a little daunting to have a new year facing me…but the last one was okay so I guess I can survive it…more later…
