Well…made it all the way to 5:37 this morning and that is just not enough sleep with not getting to bed until almost 12 last night….feel pretty crappy right now and I hope that goes away soon but I’m pretty sure it won’t…have been exhausted for the past week or so and that is getting really old…and the disruption around here with them patching the holes in my ceiling and putting in the new disposal is  a pain that will continue today with more ceiling work to be done…just want them to finish so I can put everything back in it’s place and get things back to normal…I did get a nice bike ride in with no fleece yesterday and it was quite early for that this year…but, it looks like the weather is going to be changing back to cold starting tomorrow and that is a little depressing…but it’s Michigan so that is to be expected….didn’t get much done with all of the crap going on around here yesterday and today looks the same…I do need to run out and get some chicken at Aldi’s later and get a workout in but that will be about it for the day if I continue to feel this lousy…more later…

Well…running a little early for it being a grocery day and I’m not sure whey that would be…had to run the entire grocery section from front to back and had lots of stuff to buy so that should have take more time…oh, well…didn’t sleep all that hot last night and was up by 6 or so and I should feel worn out from that but I don’t feel too bad this morning…I wonder if it’s the bug going away or that I’ve started to try eating more…whatever it is, it is nice to not be exhausted just walking out to the couch in the morning…I did have a nasty surprise last night when my disposal started leaking like a sieve and dumping water all over my kitchen floor…so now, I’ll have to call it in at 9 so they can come and put in a new one and I can use my kitchen sink again…may have them replace the kitchen faucet, too since it has been leaking for a while now and my sprayer fell apart a couple of weeks ago…so that will screw up my plans of getting a bike ride in early today with it being almost 50 already…got out in shorts yesterday and want to do the same today…it is just more fun riding without the thermasuit and gloves…more later…

Well…running a little late this morning and there is no reason for it other than boredom…and not having a bit of motivation…woke up at 5:14 but stayed in bed until almost 6:30…not sleeping but just didn’t want to start the day that early…still damn exhausted as I have been for a week now and I am starting to get a little concerned about that….hmmmm…I finally got a few things done yesterday morning and at least that is something…while I was waiting for the temp to come up enough to ride, I washed the car and put the summer wheels back on the car and I was really surprised at how much just that little bit of work made me hurt later in the day…my left hamstring is hurting again and that’s not the only thing…it felt like everything hurt so I had to take an ibuprofen to make it tolerable…and it is better this morning so I think that was a good idea…I am considering waiting to ride until it is warm enough to get out in shorts today since it is going to be 54 or so but I really don’t like waiting to ride…we’ll see…I do need to get some cleaning done and I am going to try to do that after I have lots more coffee and get some time on the weight machine….more later…

Well…I’m pretty sure you are as tired if the idiot trump as I am so I am not going to write about him today….instead, I’m going to do the first trail update for the year…there’s not a lot to talk about but here goes…it appears that the beavers have left the pond along M-6 some time during my indoor riding…the water level has dropped almost 10 feet since winter and I don’t see any evidence that they are still cutting trees around it….that’s too bad…less entertainment for me…one funny thing happened yesterday while I was on another part of the trail…a mouse came running out of the brush and smacked right into my front tire, flipped about two feet in the air and, if I had been quick enough, I could have reached out and caught it in the air…one of those things that appear to be in slow motion and are so damn amusing that you just have to smile…and the mouse hit the trail and took off running back into the grass so I guess there wasn’t any damage…I sure can’t wait until I can get out in shorts and a t-shirt…it is starting to get annoying always being in thermasuit and gloves…maybe tomorrow…

Well…running late today since my son forgot to renew my domain name and I just got back online right now…I do need to send him a check for 12 bucks to cover it for the year and that’s not bad…I feel quite a bit better today and now I know the exhaustion is from not eating enough since I stuffed myself all day yesterday…well…stuffed myself as much as I can which means going from 1,000 cals to 1,500 but that made the difference for me…I will still think about having a bug since I am still sweating again right now…I need to remember that I can’t assume causality with just one data set but it is good to have a little energy for the first time in a while…I did sleep okay but got up at 5:14 again and that happens enough that I don’t really need to talk about it….no dreams again that I can remember but that just rates an oh, well…I did just get out to get my powerball tickets for the 750 million jackpot for tomorrow night…which would be almost 500 mil in cash and I think I may be able to live on that for a while….I think I’m going to wash the car to get ready to change to my summer wheels tomorrow

Well…running about on time with getting up at 5:09 but that doesn’t mean I like it at all….still feel exhausted as I have for the past week and even fell asleep sitting on the couch last night….so, I’m sure this is a bug that I’ll just have to wait out to feel better…I did sleep okay last night…for me….but no dreams to speak of and I was really hoping for more weird ones like the night before but no luck…I did get a nice ride in yesterday but I am a little frustrated that the days are not warming up at all…at least in the morning when I like to ride so that puts me out on the bike in the aft and it was still only in the 40′s…and that looks like the pattern for as far as the weather channel has forecasts…I can’t wait for 60′s to come so I can get out in shorts…and there is even snow in the forecast for next Saturday and that is depressing…it seems like everything is depressing lately and it doesn’t help feeling like crap and only having the energy to drag myself to the couch in the morning…didn’t get a lot done yesterday but I do need to clean the bathroom at some point in the next couple of days…I did get the summer bedding washed and on the bed yesterday so I guess that’s doing something…but, I’m not going to promise anything for today….more later…

Well…it’s another year and I just got to over 600 miles for the year so far…the fastest to 600 miles ever and the first time I’ve gotten that many miles in before April 1st. I still have another 6 days to add to that total but it looks like rain is going to cut into my riding time this week…but, it’s still cool that I got this many miles in so early…couldn’t have done it without the trainer and that was a good purchase for 47 bucks….

Well….it looks like I’m about on time this morning but I was up for the first time around 5 or so and that is normal for me….don’t feel so hot this morning and I can’t figure out how I’m so exhausted and haven’t done anything yet but go out to get the paper…it was nice to have no frost on the car today so I didn’t have to warm it up before I could go….I did have some weird dreams last night about the Indy 500…but not a modern version as it is now but one from 50 years ago but with semi modern cars…weird…it was nice to just have some dreams for a change…I did go out to take a look for the northern lights last night but it was a bust…as it has been the past 10 times or so that they were forecast and that was a little disappointing…would like to see them one more time before I croak…didn’t get a lot done with all the sports on again and it looks like I’ll waste another day with basketball and two races on so I may get a nap this aft to make up for the 5 hours I got the past few days…I may clean some today but I’m not sure…I do need to ride the bike after it warms up but that won’t be for hours so I will have to fill that time somehow…maybe with more coffee and some news….more later….

Well….was planning on coming back here all day to do one on the disappointing Mueller report, but my internet has been out most of the day and that is a huge pain in the butt…it just starting working again so I thought I’d just do a shorty to get my second one done for the day…I did get out on the bike even with the bug that I have right now and it was okay…my legs were good but my lungs seem to be down to about 75% and I was struggling at times just to catch a breath…but, they seem better now and I haven’t coughed much since I got back here so maybe it was a good idea to get out. I am going to head outside when it gets dark to look for the northern lights since there was a CME yesterday that was supposed to hit earlier today but continue until Sunday morning…and the line where you can see them is supposed to be south of here so it might be something to see…okay, starting to sweat again just sitting here so I’ll end and go back to vegging….

Well…I knew I was coming down with something when I started coughing and sneezing yesterday and now I’m sweating through my clothes so we’ll have to see how it progresses today to see how bad it’s gong to be…I had a flu shot so it can’t be flu but there is a bunch of stuff going around that the shot may not cover….I even had to take a red dot and some ibuprofen to get the pain out of my head last night but that is back right now and it is really annoying….oh, well…didn’t get much done but cook some salmon yesterday and watch sports and I’ll have to do more cooking today since I have some chicken that needs to be cooked or frozen and more asparagus to go with it…then I’ll try to get to the leftovers that have accumulated over the past week….and there will be more sports with Michigan and State playing this afternoon so I’ll need to get out on the bike early so I can settle in a take a nap this aft…need to make up for the 5 hours of sleep…okay, just remembered part of the dreams from last night…I wonder what it means when you dream about not being able to sleep?  More later…..
