Well…that didn’t last long…up at 5:15 this morning and that set the Who song from Quadrophenia running through my head…so that puts me here early today as I wait for a little while to do the grocery run….but, I think the less than 6 hours of sleep is going to kill me later in the day…already feel like I have no energy so this will be another one of those where I’ll ease into it and then run in low for most of the day…I did get out to have a couple with T yesterday and that is always fun and a good conversation….and it was nice to  just get out of here for a while and see another human being….I was going to come back here for another one yesterday but the outing took me out of the mood so I guess I’ll have to do another one on Cohen later today after all of the bombshells that were dropped during his testimony….didn’t get anything else done and my motivation level is quite low right now so I’m not sure how much I’ll do today…as always, there is plenty I should do but who knows? More later…

Well…running late for me this morning and I just noticed a new trend in my sleep…I have been able to go back to sleep after my initial waking, something that I wouldn’t even try for years…and this morning it was by mistake…I thought my phone read 6:14 when it was only 5:14 so I climbed back into bed and stayed there for another hour…not sure how much more I slept but the bed was warm and relaxing so that was a good thing…but, for some reason I’ve been favoring sleeping on the damaged shoulder and it hurts from it today…hmmm….I did get out to run a few errands yesterday and I have been leaving my mp-3 player at home and listening to the radio in the car lately…makes me feel a little more connected for some reason…and, with all the time I spend alone, it is nice to get some of the connection back…other than that, I didn’t get much done yesterday and today will be the same…other than my exercise program and watching the Michael Cohen testimony at 10, oh, and Man U plays at 3 so at least I have something to look forward to….and I may meet up with T later but I’m not really planning on that….more later…

Well…okay, I’m a little confused…again…didn’t get out of bed until after 6 again and only woke up a few times overnight…I did sleep on my shoulder and hurt it but the pain is going away already so I think it will be okay….but the whole idea of almost normal sleep is kinda foreign to me and I’m not sure what has changed…I wonder if it’s something I’m doing or if it’s just reaching a tipping point of too little sleep that I am now catching up on? Hmmmm…didn’t get a lot done yesterday but the normal stuff and almost didn’t get the bike rides in I was so out of sorts for most of the day….but, I sucked it up and got everything done and even cooked some…I do need to clean some before soccer comes on later but I’m not sure how motivated I’m going to be with another winter storm coming in later today and overnight…could get 3-6 inches of snow and I am getting depressed about that…then it turns really cold…again…and that doesn’t help my mood, either…..so, we’ll just see how the day shakes out and let it flow as it will….more later….

Well…okay, that’s a new world record…didn’t get out of bed until 7:05 this morning and that is really, really weird for me…I’m normally up by 5 or so and this one is confusing but I’ll take it…but it puts me behind for the morning and I am feeling rushed now to get everything done that I need to do…but my shoulder barely hurts so that’s something….and I know I slept on it, too, so a little more progress is welcome….spent the whole day vegging and watching sports yesterday and got nothing done so I’ll have to do better today….why, I don’t know since I really don’t have much to do…I am thinking about buying a Fire tablet to use instead of my phone since they are on sale for 39 bucks with free shipping at amazon…and that makes me wonder why a phone costs 600 bucks and you can get a tablet for 39? They have most of the same circuitry except for the actual phone but they both have wifi and the tablet has a bigger screen…weird….not much to do today…need to get the workout and a ride in before 9 but that is about it…and pay a bill….more later…

Well…running a little late today and I just can’t get started….I did sleep in until after 6 this morning and that was a surprise…okay, I woke up at 4:30 and went back to sleep…kinda…but that was better than getting up before 5….I did go out and get the paper a little while ago and the wind has started to blow like crazy already and I have all of my electronics plugged in just in case the power goes out today…it hasn’t in years but it doesn’t hurt to be prepared….I am sore today and I think I’ll take the day off the bike to let the legs rest….they have had a bunch of low grade pain for days now and I think they just need rest…and it helped to take last Sunday off so I think I’ll continue that…you are supposed to take rest days for muscles to repair so I’ll use that as my excuse…and Man U plays in an hour and I haven’t read all of the paper yet…I am going to clean the bathroom today if I can get motivated…but that looks iffy right now without much more coffee…more later…

Well….I wonder if I’ll ever get a good night’s sleep again? I am just frickin exhausted this morning from tossing and turning all night…I guess I bitch about that too much…but averaging 4-5 hours a night is wearing me out and I walk around all day in low gear….oh, well…had an okay day yesterday and got a couple of errands run while it was pretty nice out…but it looks like the weather is going to hell over the next two days with rain, snow, thunderstorms and wind gusting to almost 60 so it is going to be more hibernating for me…then it gets cold and I’ll probably have the locks freeze on the car again…but, every day we are getting closer to spring so I guess I can use that as a survival tactic….got a little cleaning done yesterday and am going to try to get more done today…the bathroom can use a once over and I do have to clean the fridge that I have been putting off for a while now…I do have to prep some chicken legs with some new Franks seasoning that I got the other day…buffalo ranch that I will try to see if I can tolerate the spicyness….we’ll see…more later…

Well…running a little late this morning and there is really no reason for it…I did have a back spasm that felt like being stabbed  when I got up and it still hurts like crazy and that is pretty strange since it hasn’t hurt at all for weeks now…slept okay last night but feel pretty worn out this morning so I think I’ll just ease into it again and see how I feel as I wake up…at least I can feel some progress in my shoulder and that is a welcome change….I did watch the SpaceX launch last night and I had never seen a night launch and landing before so that was pretty cool….it never gets old watching that stuff even after 60 years of it….got some split chicken breasts from Meijers yesterday and they made me laugh…I mean 4 breasts weigh 6 pounds? The things are huge and I’ll probably be able to get three meals out of each one….other than the grocery run, didn’t get a lot done yesterday but I will have to do better today…have some errands to run later this morning and then I need to clean my kitchen counters and the sink just so I don’t feel guilty about being lazy again….it looks like another crazy weather day for Sunday with some snow and with wind gusts of almost 60 so I think I’ll plan on a hibernation day and just veg out…hope this is the last gasp of winter…I am getting a little antsy to get out on the bike and see the trails again….more later…

Well…I’m getting pretty fed up with writing about the cancer of trump and trumpism so I think this one will have a lighter note and I’ll just talk about music and some other stuff that interests me. I’m in a little better of a mood today with hearing from a friend that I hadn’t heard from all week and that made me worry about her…but, heard from her last night and this morning so I guess things are back to normal…oh, the music…my son got his streaming service back on line over the weekend and that gave me back a channel called axsTV that is all about music and musicians and that helps relieve the boredom somewhat. Yesterday, there was a show on about the making of AJA by Steely Dan and it was so cool to see Donald and Walter back together in the studio again and to listen to interviews with the studio musicians who played on the album….and to see D and W play with the engineering board to isolate the different tracks and then explain how and why they wanted it done that way…a pretty cool hour that made me miss Walter even more. There was another one with the Who and how their project called “lifehouse” turned into Who’s Next…one of my favorite albums of theirs and it was just interesting to see the process that Pete Townshend goes through when he creates the Who’s music…again, breaking down the different parts of the songs and showing how he thinks…pretty cool stuff that you just don’t get to see very often. Oh, one last thing that is not music related but still cool…SpaceX is launching a satellite tonight at about 8:45 and they will try to land the first stage on the drone ship…might be cool to see one in the dark….

Well…decided to come here to do this one early today since I have a half hour before I have to get ready to do the grocery run….up early again this morning…looked at the clock and thought it said 6 but it was only 5 when I dragged myself out of bed and I am feeling that smart move…my shoulder hurt like crazy last night and I’m not sure why that would be other than working out yesterday but it didn’t hurt while I was working out…weird…but, it’s okay now…kinda…didn’t get much done yesterday and today looks much the same with having absolutely no motivation…it’s even going to be a lot of work just to do the grocery run today and I am looking forward to coffee once I get back here….at least it’s over freezing outside right now so I won’t have to warm the car up before I go…with the rain yesterday, I was a little concerned that the locks on the car would be frozen again but it looks okay….more later…

Well…running late this morning and just can’t get going….had another fitful night of sleep that left me tired again and I think I made the coffee too light…it was kind of amber when I poured it, not the dark that it needs to be, so I think it is not going to work as well as I need it to…I didn’t have enough leftovers yesterday so I had to make a cup of tea and I couldn’t believe how much caffeine it has in it…like jet fuel but I don’t like the taste much…it took me many years to get used to coffee and I don’t want to put in that much time for tea at my age…it was kind of  down day yesterday and it was a struggle to get things done but I did get out to wash the car and then got two bike rides in…my shoulder hurts again this morning but I am going to hurt it some more with working out here in a few minutes….I did make another homemade pizza yesterday and I think I have the crust recipe down now…just the right thickness and taste so I need to write that down so I can repeat it in the future….not much to do today…just going to ease into it today since I don’t have any energy yet…probably won’t do much since I just don’t feel like it….more later…
