Well…I thought the pain was getting over last night but I was wrong…back to the ibuprofen again this morning and I really have never felt this kind of pain before…I wonder what kind of damage has been done to me to have it last for 9 days now? Whatever it is, it is wearing me out and I do feel my age from it….need to get on the bike in 13 minutes to get started by 7am and have two rides in by 9 or so….still can’t eat much and I can feel that I’m losing weight and that used to be a good thing but my energy levels are so low that it’s too much work just to sit here…I am so tired of my body giving up on me and it’s not going to get better and that is really depressing…oh, well…I did sleep okay last night but how I feel right now, it doesn’t matter…and dragging my butt downstairs is going to brutal…I probably should just stop doing these since there is no good to report…and no one wants to hear all this whining…so, I’ll try to do better…more later…

Well…not sure what the heck is going on but I feel worse today than I have since I got the teeth out…mouth hurts, tongue hurts, and I have no energy at all…I did get two rides in this morning before I ran errands but that seems like a long time ago…crap, I don’t even have enough energy to read so I’ve been just sitting here watching tv today…there is something seriously wrong and I wonder if I’ve gotten an infection from the teeth removals? I very seldom feel my age but today I feel older than that….okay, I’ll stop whining now…wasn’t up to getting on the outdoor bike today as it barely got over 40 and I am done with the cold…the whole thing is probably caused by the fact that it hurts so damn much to eat and I’ve been taking ibuprofen every 5 hours or so just to be able to tolerate the pain…and I’ve got the BAH in the fridge that I can’t even taste anymore…okay, I guess I wasn’t done whining…I will get out on the bike tomorrow since it’s going to be over 50 but not til the afternoon…so two rides in and one out tomorrow and I sure hope I feel better…can’t feel worse…

Well…damn, my mouth just frickin hurts again today and it’s been more than a week since the work and I really am worn out from it…sitting here in pain is getting overwhelming and I’m not sure what to do about it…have already taken some ibuprofen and now I wait for it to work…I think I’ve lost 5 or 6 pounds from the pain of eating and that is going to continue until it stops…oh, well….need to get on the bike in 20 minutes or so and I’m running late already…should have gotten on the bike by 7 but just couldn’t do it without coffee…want to get two rides in before I head out to run errands this morning…it’s damn April and it’s still not going to be over 50 today…and that is just depressing…when are we going to have spring? Never, I guess….had to call on the assholes to the south of me after they were thumping the neighborhood yesterday and I am so damn tired of that…I’m tired of just about everything…my damn body is giving up on me and it’s not going to get better and that sucks…need to get moving right now so I’ll end here…more later…

Well…damn, it been a week since I had the dental work and jaw still hurts like crazy but I’m lucky that 200 mg of ibuprofen cuts it…I did make a BAH today on the grill so I won’t have to cook for a week or so and that will give me time to work on the yard a bit and get back to the library since I finished off the last of four books today…and I just filled out my absentee ballot for the May millage election and will pay my water bill when I drop it at the drop box…then two blocks to the library…not sure when I’ll get back outdoors on the bike but it will be warm enough tomorrow if the rain ends soon enough…okay, the laptop just told me it needs to restart so I think I’ll let it right now…

Well…damn, still have pain in my mouth from the dental work that was done a week ago and it is taking a lot out of me…feel so damn worn out that all I want to do is melt into the couch…but I’ll get on the bike here here in 25 minutes to get the day started…and I have to hit Menards along with three grocery stores and I’m not sure I’m up to it…hope the bike does it’s magic and gets me out of this funk…20 minutes to go….pouring coffee down and I’m not sure if it’s going to be enough today…didn’t get anything done yesterday but bake bread but today is going to be a busy one with needing to make a big ham, mashed potatoes, and gravy…I’m going to be exhausted by noon today…hell, I’m already exhausted and I think I’ll have to shift into go slow mode to survive it….going to get my flower and veggie seeds today at 10 cents a pack at Menards and will probably start to plant them as it warms up outside in a few days…want to get some perennials so I don’t have to plant every year but I’ll take annuals if I can’t get them….not much to do today…yeah, that’s not true…have way too much to do today and I’m not sure how I’m going to do it…just suck it up I guess….more later…

Well…have the two rides in and the sourdough in the oven finishing and I think that’s going to be all I do today other than read…oh, I do have to do the grocery list but that should take about 5 minutes so that’s not too much of a job…should clean the bathroom and kitchen some and I probably will after I make lunch and the oven cools down…still having to take ibuprofen for the pain but I think it’s slowly getting better…the bread looks really good and I have it figured out, a skill I never had before and that’s pretty cool…I do still have the weight work to do later but reading is going to come first…okay, the bread has 3 minutes left until it’s done so I need to give it some attention….more later…

Well…damn, my jaw still hurts like crazy and it’s been a week since I had the dental work done and I need to figure out how to stop grinding my teeth to stop it…don’t feel as lousy as I did yesterday but I still feel pretty crappy but I’ve only been out of bed for a half hour and haven’t had any coffee yet so that could be why…it looks like a repeat day today with temps still in the 30′s so I’ll do two indoor rides and bake bread this afternoon…even had to make some pour over coffee since this is a coffee leftover day and I barely had two cups to have and that is not nearly enough…need to put the grocery list together but I really don’t have a lot of stuff to get other than the BAH that will feed me for a good week…I think I’ve got enough gas to heat it on the grill but I’ll have to get a refill next week…starting to be able to chew more normally as the pain subsides from the sockets and I really hope the new normal allows me to eat better…damn, it’s already 7am and I need to get going but I wonder why? I could wait til 8 to get on the bike and I’d still be done by 10 so I think I’ll have at least one more cup of coffee and sit here for at least a half hour….more later…

Well…took an easier day today with just doing two indoor rides since it never got out of the 30′s here and I just didn’t want to be that cold…especially in April…I did use some of the sourdough starter that I fed yesterday to make the dough for a loaf I’ll bake tomorrow but I’m not sure if I can even eat it yet…I guess we’ll see…going to have another cold one tomorrow so I’ll be inside for one more day then I have to start working on the yard and ride outdoors….felt really crappy when I got up today but two hard rides fixed that along with non stop eating all day since I was way under on calories for 5 days in a row and that is not good for me…okay…I have a weird science fiction movie called “Mickey 17″ that I want to watch…

Well…I don’t think I’ve ever felt this crappy in the morning…my jaw hurts and I’ve already taken something for it and this is getting really, really old….I’ve already eaten something to see if not eating enough is part of it as I think it is….going to try to eat constantly today as my jaw will allow…and I may have to order some flonase since my allergies are terrible and have been for a week…will need to work on the yard later in the week but I’m not going out there when it’s in the 30′s…I do need more coffee if I’m ever going to get moving today…and that’s not going to be until 8am or so and I’m not doing more than 2 rides today…damn, I hate being this whiny but I really do feel like crap…going to buy another big assed ham this week since Meijers has them on sale for 89 cents a pound but I’ve completely lost my sense of taste so it will be just eating for fuel and that sucks…I think I need a reset for my body but I don’t know how to do that…everything seems out of whack and all I want to do is melt into the couch and stare at the tv for the whole day…but I won’t since I know that getting on the bike will make me feel better….more later….

Well…darn, me teeth hurt today and I’m pretty sure it’s from grinding them all day and eating and that just sucks…oh, well…I did get an outdoor ride in today but took it much easier so I didn’t feel rotten after doing it…but my energy level is still pretty low right now but with no food and 30 miles every day even my Mastodon friends are concerned…so, I’ll have to do better so as to not alarm people…I did feed my sourdough starter since I’m going to make a loaf later in the week..and it took off like crazy after having it in the fridge for weeks…but I’ll have to cut the crusts off of the slices since I can’t take hard food until the sockets heal…I can still taste the numbing agents they used on me since they used so much to get the teeth done…really bitter and I hope it goes away soon…just accidentally  ran my electric tooth brush across one of the sockets and it felt like an electric shock…yow!
