Well…forced myself to stay in bed until after 6 this morning just trying to get a little more sleep…if didn’t work but I had to try something…don’t feel too bad this morning even with the crappy sleep so I guess I shouldn’t bitch too much…didn’t get much done yesterday other than cleaning the shower…had to try some new cleaning stuff I got Thursday…yep, that’s my life now…being excited about new, foaming cleaner for my shower…oh, well…I am going to clean my fridge today and maybe even the oven but I might not….it looks like I won’t be on the bike today with rain starting in a few minutes and going most of the day but I may be able to carve out an hour to do a short one…just have to keep watching the radar…there are lots of sports on today that could provide a distraction from the boredom but I’m not sure about watching Man U at noon…they have been really terrible and hard to watch so I may watch the Lions lose instead….more later…

Well…out on the bike today and noticed something a little strange that I have never seen in my long life…there are no nuts this year. Usually, there are many spots along the trail where I have to dodge walnuts about this time of the year but this year, not one….and that goes for the two spots where I picked up bags of hickory nuts last year…no nuts at all on the ground or on the trees…I wonder what the cause is? This is just too weird….

Well…damn, stayed in bed until 6:12 this morning…some kind of a new record for how I’ve been sleeping lately…but, I did wake up at 5:14 so I guess maybe it isn’t a record….had an okay day yesterday but only got the cobweb patrol done so I’ll have to do more today…had a problem with the shifter on the bike but got that figured out and had a nice ride…I did remember to take some ibuprofen before I went out and that made a huge difference with the pain in my neck so I guess I’ll do that again today…but, that will have to wait for a little while since there is some rain out there and I don’t want to get wet with it only 40 degrees out…I do have to clean today and just need a little jump start to make that happen…and I will be distracted with some sports…but, Michigan has a bye week so that makes it a little easier….more later….

Well…ugh…up at 5:30 again today and I feel so damn worn out that it’s like I haven’t slept at all…would love to sleep in til 7 at least one day…and this getting up early just gives me way too much time to be bored before the sun comes up and I can get on the bike…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get much done but the grocery run and a little cooking…and, I don’t know how much motivation I’ll have to get things done today…but I’m not going to think about that right now….I do need the coffee to work for a while before I even contemplate that…at least my neck was better yesterday and just feels a little stiff today…still trying to figure out how I hurt it and that seems to be a theme lately…trying to figure out why I’m sore all the time everywhere…damn, I feel old lately…more later….

Well…sitting here waiting to make the grocery run and thought I’d come here and do this one and not wait until later…after all, getting up at 5:44 and not doing the grocery run until 7 leaves me quite a bit of time to kill…and I don’t want to start with coffee until I get back and have a newspaper to read…I did sleep okay with getting to bed by 10:30 but the tossing and turning is back…one good thing is my neck is not hurting right now and that is a relief after the pain I’ve had for the past few weeks….I did get a few things done yesterday and finally got the new spark plugs in the car and it runs great again…I do have to replace the valve cover gasket in the spring since it is seeping down into the plug wells…used a pair of the disposable gloves I bought last week and it was nice to not have to get the grease out from under my fingernails…even cleaned a little in the kitchen mostly from boredom and I will continue that today…not much to do today…just the normal stuff and a bike ride…oh, and cooking some chicken for lunch….more later…

Well…I wonder what happens when the time changes? Will I then be waking up at my normal time again? All I know is I was up at 5:34 this morning and I don’t like it much…that gives me way too much time between wake up and waiting for the temp to come up to get on the bike…looks the boredom is going to start early today…I did sleep okay last night but after having some spicy guac last night, I can feel that my intestines are not going to like me much today…not sure when my sensitivity to jalapenos started but even small amounts now hurt…got a few things done yesterday but that means I don’t have much to do today…and I am depressed that someone won the Mega last night and there is no fantasy left…oh, well….I did get my hair cut yesterday and ran some errands and that leaves me with just a little work to do on the bike before I get on it later….I guess I could clean some but it’s 6 am and I have no motivation at all yet…just need more coffee and some news…more later….

Well…okay…screed of the day is done so I’m going to noodle around a little with some short stuff that wouldn’t make a whole one of these…it was pretty cool yesterday when I just got started on the bike and flushed 3 yearling deer who were lying down next to the trail…they paced me along the fence for quite ways even when I was moving pretty good…and I thought I could keep up until they decided that I was too close and just jetted away even with me going over 20 on a downhill…pretty fun to watch…I did get some work done on the rust on car and may do a little more before winter if I get a couple more 50′s days….oh, I did get out and got some of the 77 cents a pound turkey breasts at my daily deals store…I mean, 7 pounds of boneless breast for 5 bucks? I just couldn’t pass that up and it was even low sodium so that was a bonus….I even got some Dean’s guac for a big container for 99 cents so I am going splurge with some of that tonight….I know, it’s bad for me but I can afford a little of that….

Well…running early again today…ick…up at 5:37 and that is getting old…I think I’ve said that many, many times lately and I’m getting tired of even writing it…I did sleep okay, though, so I guess that’s something…had a pretty good day and got a few things done…got the surface rust on the car taken care of and had a nice ride out and back to pool with the top down but those days are going to end here soon…oh, and I won at pool…I think….didn’t get anything else done yesterday but I have a few things to do today…need to get my hair cut and then make a run out to the daily deals store to look at fully cooked turkey breast they have on sale…only 77 cents a pound but I do need to check the salt content so I’m not surprised like I was with the ham a few weeks back….I did make some fish for dinner last night but my stomach was queasy all night after that so I wonder if the fish was bad or if it was just from not eating enough…I guess I’ll find out when I have the other two fillets today….more later…

Well…just noticed that I didn’t come back for a second one yesterday and I’m not sure why that is…didn’t have anything to do but watch sports so there was plenty of time…hmmm…not sure how I slept last night but I feel like it was crappy so I’ll go with that…my neck has been killing me the past few days and that’s another one I can’t figure out…must be that I’m sleeping wrong but it should work out if that’s what it is but it continues all day….another puzzler…didn’t get a lot done yesterday other than clean the stove top and the controls for it…I do have to stop wearing my glasses around here since I see how dirty things are when I wear them…and that makes me need to clean when I don’t want to….probably won’t get to much today with pool this aft…but, I do have to work on some surface rust on the car again this morning but that will have to wait til the temp comes up some….more later….

Well…after that bad news, I still do need to do this one before I get on the bike this morning…yeah, running really late today and just can’t get started even though I slept in til almost 7…and even with that, I still feel a little worn out today and I shouldn’t be since I didn’t do much yesterday…I did get out to have a couple with K in the afternoon but that made sure I wouldn’t get anything done…and, I’m not sure what I’ll do this aft with two races on and the Lions playing so I guess I’ll play it by ear….I really don’t like having to wait for the temp to come up to get on the bike but I guess I’ll have to get used to it as we get deeper into fall…I do need to do a top down color tour at some point in the next week or so before the leaves are all down but I’m just not in the mood to go today….not much to do today…I should clean the kitchen some but that’s not a morning thing to me so I guess I’ll just have to finish the coffee and watch some bad sci fi movies for now…more later…
