March 5th

Well….I really don’t know how I’m running this morning but I do know that I was up at 3:17 to start the morning…but, I got all the way to 5:27 before I got out of bed…I was so worn out last night that I feel asleep on the couch 3 times before I gave up and just went to bed…and I know that is from not sleeping too well so I wonder how last night’s sleep is going to effect that? Oh, well…at least I got out of here for a while to shoot pool yesterday and we tied so that was kind of appropriate after not going for a month…woke up this morning to more depressing snow on the car but I am not going out to clean it off until I have lots of coffee and read the news….trying hard to not be depressed about March starting out so cold and crappy but I am hoping that the old adage is true this year and it will go out like a lamb…it is supposed to be 44 on Saturday so that will be a welcome change…didn’t get anything done yesterday and I don’t feel a lot of motivation right now so I may not get anything done today, either…who knows? More later…

March 4th

Well…not going to bitch today about not sleeping…it’s getting boring to me and probably to you, too…okay, just a little bitch…back to getting up at 3:30 and then up for good by 5:14…again…ick…don’t feel too crappy today even with the cold coming on and taking the day off the bike was s good idea since my legs hurt much less this morning…but, I’ll be back on it here in a  little while for more torture since I need to burn the calories I piled on with a total veg day yesterday just watching sports all day….I did get some cleaning done but that was it…and, we are having a pool day today so I won’t do anything but that today….I will have to warm up the car with it being only 8 degrees right now and the high only getting to 11 or so today…that’s 30 degrees below normal and the cold is going to stay for at least the next two weeks so no break until April it appears…and that is depressing…but, there’s nothing I can do about it so I’ll just live with it I guess…more later….

March 3rd

Well…I wonder if this is a normal Sunday or if I’m running late? It is almost 7:30 and I am just now getting to this so maybe I’m a little late…I did get up at 5:54…for the second time after waking up a couple of hours earlier but that meant I got to try to go back to sleep and it kind of worked…even had a dreams that had dense fog in it along with hair clippers and I am really not sure what that is about…I am going to take the day off the bike today to let my legs heal up some since I have been stiff and sore for a couple of weeks now and I know I should rest them periodically….so that makes for a veg Sunday that I am going to enjoy…I may clean some but I’m not thinking about that right now…soccer has already started and I have three matches to watch before noon so that takes care of the morning…and there will be napcar later so my background noise is set for the day….it’s also a leftover day so I don’t even have to cook today…I am going to make a chicken burrito later today that I am looking forward to…I wonder why I’ve never made those before? Hmmmm….more later….

March 2nd

Well….woke up early again today but had to get at some news before coming here…but, it was another morning of 5:14 bullshit and I wonder how I always wake up within 5 of the same time every day…hmmm….still feel like I have a little cold but it hasn’t gotten worse since yesterday…yet…and I have the entire day to rest so I think it will be okay…I did have to take something for my shoulder yesterday and it helped the constant pain in my legs, too, so I may do that again today…but I slept on the shoulder again and that just doesn’t help with the healing…I did get out to get some chipotle seasoned chicken breast from daily deals yesterday and it is great to use to make chicken burritos and sandwiches…I had to buy almost 5 pounds but at 69 cents a pound that is still only $3.25 for the whole thing and half of it ended up in the freezer….don’t think I can fit one more thing in there so I’ll need to eat out of the freezer for the next couple of weeks….that errand and washing the car were the only things I got done yesterday but I need to do more today and at least start on the kitchen…but not just yet…I need to get more coffee in me and read some more news…oh, and find the videos of the SpaceX launch from last night…first launch of the crew ship and I want to see that….more later…

March 1st

Well…running a little early today with getting up at 5:14 again…there seems to be a pattern with that time with getting up around then almost all the time but I’m not sure what it is yet…feel pretty lousy this morning and I hurt everywhere…noticed that yesterday afternoon and I am still trying to figure out why….haven’t done anything out of the ordinary or changed my workouts at all so that is a little confusing…oh, well…had an okay day yesterday and finally got my bathroom cleaned so today will the be the kitchen’s turn or maybe vacuuming…not sure yet and I don’t really want to think about it right now…I did get the grocery run done yesterday and bought my first red meat since last September…just getting damn tired of chicken all the time and I don’t think a few pork chops will kill me…and at 99 cents a pound, I couldn’t pass them up…so there may be pork chops in the next couple of days but I have some leftover chicken that needs to be used up first…more later…

February 28th

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…

February 27th

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…

February 26th

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….

February 25th

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…

February 24th

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…
