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…

Well…not sure how this happened but now both of my shoulders are hurting…man, I am getting really tired of the pain every damn day and now my heel has cracked and that hurts, too…okay, this is just depressing and I seem to feel creakier by the day…I know that I probably caused the pain in my shoulder by working out with full weight yesterday but it’s been two months…shouldn’t it be healed by now? Oh, well…didn’t sleep for crap last night and was up at 5:14 again and I think that may be part of not feeling that hot today…okay, done bitching about anything…had an okay day yesterday and got two bike rides in but didn’t get a lot else done…I am going to make another homemade pizza today for lunch since I have everything I need and I don’t want it to spoil…I do like the fresh mozzarella that I got last week but I am getting tired of cheese in general so I think I use up what I have left for the pizza and then freeze the other two pounds I have in the fridge…I think I’ll be eating out of the freezer for the next week or so since there is nothing on sale at any of the grocery stores that I use that I want to eat…have plenty of chicken in there but I need to get a little more creative in how I cook it…I do have to clean the kitchen counters today and the stovetop just so I can say that I did something today….more later….

Well…I just realized something as I was pouring the first cup of coffee…the Mr. Coffee coffee maker that I am using now has outlasted every Black and Decker unit that I had before it…it’s almost two years now and that is twice as long as any one before…probably shouldn’t have said anything…it will probably quit later today…slept okay last night and didn’t get up until 6 this morning but I don’t feel as if I’ve slept too well…just feel sluggish and tired but I’m pretty sure I ate enough yesterday so that can’t be it…it could be that I’m just getting old which I am…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get much done…didn’t even get on the bike since I wanted to rest my legs and help the pain subside some and it appears to have helped but I hurt everywhere else so I think I’ll take something for it before I get on the bike later…not much to do today…I was going to cook but decided that can wait til tomorrow with the leftovers I have in the fridge…and I have no motivation to clean but the coffee may help with that…more later…

Well…I was going to bitch and whine about the server being down all day today but it just started to work again so I think my son figured it out…that was the first time that I can remember that Plex even didn’t work and I was going through withdrawal with not being able to access any of the tv shows that I have been trying to catch up on…but, it hasn’t been too bad with Daytona on today…and it is even a pretty good race, not like the duels that I bitched about Thursday….man, I have become pretty dependent on having some entertainment on line with not a lot else to do so I think I may have to change that….but, right now, I think I’ll go back to the race…as you can see, no politics today…just don’t feel like it right now….
