Well…running late this morning with not getting up until the coffee had already started…and that never happens…but, it is pretty cool that I was able to go back to sleep after waking up at 3:54….I am sore this morning after finally getting a bike ride in after being off for 6 days but I don’t mind that at all…and it looks like I’ll be able to get out again this morning before I run a couple of errands…slept okay…kind of…last night and I feel okay this morning…have a little energy and that is probably from eating enough yesterday and I am going to keep that up today…have some more chicken legs to cook and have some hard boiled eggs for salad later…still have some of that weird bacon left, too, but that will be for tomorrow….didn’t get much done yesterday and probably won’t today with having pool later today but it really doesn’t matter does it? Will get back to it tomorrow….more later…

Well…running a little late today with having to warm up the car before I could go out and get the paper…it’s only 13 degrees out there and the frost was pretty thick on the glass…feel a little better this morning after trying to eat more yesterday and I think I’ll need to keep that up today…have been under on calories since I haven’t been able to get on the bike but that may end in the next couple of days with the thaw that is coming…may go out later to see what the trails look like but it needs to warm up quite a bit before that…probably in the afternoon…had a good blood pressure reading this morning with it getting down to 110/81 and my RHR of only 56 so that was cool….has been pretty good lately so I’m no longer concerned…but it is fun to play with the machine…didn’t get a lot done yesterday but I am going to clean a little today…still eating leftovers…kind of …I did get 3 dozen eggs Friday at 79 cents each and found a pound of bacon in the freezer so eggs, toast, and bacon was dinner last night and there will be some egg salad in the future,too…and Tom is getting a dozen tomorrow…it’s nice to have a change from veggies and chicken….but, I still have chicken to be cooked tomorrow so maybe wrap it with bacon?   More later….

Well…running a little late today and there is good reason for it…woke up at 5 and decided to try to go back to sleep…for the second time this week it worked and I didn’t get out of bed until 7 so that was kind of cool…not sure if it helped with energy or not but we’ll see a little later…I did have a nice lunch with T yesterday with lots of fun and laughs so that made a it a good day…but I didn’t get on the bike and that makes it three days now…that makes me grumpy and today looks like another one so I may have to start working out every day to make up for it…the weird thing is I’m still sore everywhere and I shouldn’t be…so now maybe it’s not from riding the bike? Still may take something for it today but we’ll see about that, too. Not much to do today….have been talking about cleaning the kitchen for a week now and just might get to it…but, there is soccer on in a few minutes and I need more coffee so cleaning will have to wait…more later…

Well…it’s 7:41 and I’m bored already…with knowing I won’t be able to get on the bike today the boredom has set in early and I’m not sure if it’s part of the returning depression or something else entirely….this has been going on for a couple of weeks now and the one thing I do know is that I don’t like it…I suppose I could start cleaning but I don’t want to right now….I know I recognize the feeling with being depressed off and on over my life but it has been quite a while since I have had to use the methods I know to ameliorate it…and I’m not sure I want to…have been feeling quite numb lately and this may be a way to reset that and start to enjoy things again…okay, enough whining…need more coffee and to read more news…there are some bombshells coming this afternoon and I want to be ready to comment…more later….

Well…having a hard time getting started this morning and I’m not sure why….and I’m a little grumpy from not being able to ride the past two days and it looks like today with be number 3…crap….slept pretty crappy last night and I’m feeling lousy from it…along with not eating enough….I did make some chicken in the instant pot yesterday that came out good but I have to remember that chicken legs without skin really doesn’t have many calories….at least I’m not riding the bike to make it worse…I did get out to have a couple with G and I don’t know why…not too much fun and I won’t be doing that again…have to connect up my battery booster to the car this morning since I let the battery run down yesterday and it barely started….have to remember to disconnect the battery every time I let the thing sit for any length of time…I do have plans to meet up with T for lunch today and that should be fun…haven’t seen her for a while and I need a few laughs….more later….

Well…going to be out of sequence this morning with not waiting to get the grocery run done before doing this…getting up at 5:34 leaves me a lot of time before I head out so I thought I’d get this done before I go….slept okay last night but feel a little grumpy today after being depressed last night…can’t figure out why that is but I guess I’ll just roll with it until I feel better…part of it may be not getting on the bike yesterday…it was just too slick and there was too much snow on the trail to be comfortable so I took the day off…may have another one off today but I am going to try to get out after the sun comes up…so that means I’ll have to do another workout after I get back here and have coffee….didn’t get a lot done yesterday and all I have to do is cook today…going to make some chicken thighs and veggies in the instant pot today…going to use some pasta sauce as the liquid and just see how that comes out…and I am going to meet up with G later for a couple….haven’t seen here in a couple of months so that should be fun…more later…oh, happy “L” day!  More later….

Well…up early again today but went to bed early so I guess that evens out…had a weird dream to start the night last night and that never happens so I am a little perplexed about that…and, they continued all night, too…can’t remember the last time that happened…slept okay, though, and feel okay today but still have a little cough and that may just be from getting old and still having allergies….I did get a nice, hard ride in yesterday but it snowed again last night so I guess I’ll be back to being careful today…may even have the day off the bike if I decide I don’t want to pay that much attention….I did get some things done yesterday…paid all the bills that covers me until the 24th and did start to clean the kitchen but I am going to have to suck it up and just do the entire thing today…or not, there is soccer on later today and I want to watch Man U lose again…damn, they have become a crappy team…more later….

Well…as you can see, I didn’t come back for another one yesterday but that happens sometimes on a pool day…which I lost but had lots of fun so that was cool…hmmmm…just noticed I’m not as sore as normal this morning and I wonder what that is about…have gotten used to being sore everywhere almost all the time so this is welcome…hope it continues all day….even my elbows don’t hurt and the tendons in there have been been bad lately….didn’t get a lot done yesterday but wash the car but I am going to clean today…the kitchen needs a scrub down so that will be the project for the day…and I do have to pay a couple of bills but I can do that online so that will be easy….even though it’s going to be cold, it looks like I’ll be able to get out on the bike all week with the trails clean and no snow in the forecast…I think that has been helping me get back to sorts after being off it for a few days last week…I do need to clean the bike this aft, too since it is filthy and the shifter is full of crap and is sticking on the upshifts and that is annoying….maybe I’ll do that before I go out this morning…who knows? More later….

Well…running a little late for the new normal this morning…didn’t get up until almost 6 and even had some dreams last night and that rarely happens anymore…but, I feel pretty lousy this morning and I assume it’s from not eating enough…again…have been back on the bike the past couple of days and didn’t allow for the extra calories that takes…one of these days, I’m just going to go back to bed after I do this….I did get a few things done yesterday but I won’t do much today but wash the car…I need quarters for pool and to get the salt off it so that will need to be after I get the ride in and work out…I think I may need to tighten the belt that runs the alternator since it was squealing a little yesterday when I went out for the paper…but, with all of the rain and moisture out there, that is pretty normal when I don’t run the car much…I do need to work on the bike before I go out, too…with all of the crud in the shifter from riding in the wet, it was hanging up on the ride yesterday and that is pretty annoying….more later…

Well…you know that I have been talking about not getting anything done for quite a few days now and I’m not sure why it is…is it the depression coming back? Not sure but I know I’ve had this feeling of dread hanging over me for a couple of weeks now…but it shouldn’t be there…there really is nothing to dread in my life right now…I mean I have enough money coming in to live on…and my health is okay…could be better but I’m working on that…and I just changed my Medicare coverage to make sure that an illness won’t make be go broke…so, I wonder what it is? Yeah, I know…there doesn’t have to be a reason for depression…it just is at times and I’ve been through it enough that I should realize that….hmmmm…well…not going to dwell on that any more today…after all, I did get something done today….the bathroom is now clean and smells like flowers….not sure if I like the smell of the Pine Sol floral but I can get used to it…and, I got a bike ride in while the fog was still here this morning…damn near went down on one of the bridges on the trail…and that was walking the bike since it was way too slick to even attempt to ride across it…but, the rest of the trail was almost clear so that was cool….okay…need to make dinner here in a few so I’ll end here….no more later….
