Well…running early today with having to get out on the bike by 7:30 to be back here for F1 practice at 9….slept okay last night with no chills or sweats so that was a good thing…thought I had a bug but still have a sore throat so maybe I do….my lungs are better today and I haven’t coughed yet but it will probably come when I’m on the bike…got some stuff done yesterday but today is going to be a veg day with the heat coming in…supposed to be in the mid 90′s today and upper 90′s tomorrow so I think I may have to put the air on to cope with it…not usually an ac person but it is nice to have the option…not much to do today…going to cook but that is about it since I am not too motivated right now…need more coffee….more later…

Well….yeah, if you’re anything like me…and if you’re reading this you probably are…you are in shock about the rulings that came down this week killing unions and allowing racially drawn voting maps to stand in Texas, and with Kennedy retiring, it is even going to get worse. So, I’m not going talk about that today as I try to keep my brain from the damage that is being done to this country that will last until after I’m gone. Let’s talk about something else…like how much work I got done this morning…it all started with getting the grocery run done…and it’s about time they got the road into Meijers done….I mean, two weeks to pave a quarter of a mile of two lane road? They are also rebuilding the inside of the store so you can’t find anything and that has been going on for a month now…way too long…I did get the bike ride in with a little distress from my lungs after all the coughing and congestion that I had last night but it wasn’t too bad…I did get the car repaired this morning, too…just a re-repair of a small hole in the top and then some paint on the trim pieces along the windows…will have to do more once I put it away for the winter but I think that will hold it for now….and I even got a load of bedding done today with feeling crappy last night and alternating between freezing and sweating….it is always nice to have a fresh bed…and now, I am waiting for the England/Belgium match that starts in about a half hour….so the rest of the day is going to be vegging and diversions to keep my mind off how badly things suck right now….

Well…running  a little early today with coming here instead of reading the paper first…geez…it’s humid right now…I’m sitting here sweating already but I’m not sure if that is a bug or not….had the chills in bed last night and was coughing like crazy most of the night…feel okay today with having 3 nights of being good behind me but I think that will end today…I did have a strange dream that I took the old, empty cue case out to shoot pool by habit, leaving the cues and the new one behind…strange…..did get a bike ride in yesterday but got soaked since it started to rain about 3 miles out…but, it was almost 70 when I left so that was okay…really didn’t mind getting wet….I’ll probably get just as wet today with the humidity so high….didn’t get a lot done yesterday but I do need to do some detail work on the car and patch the top in one spot before the England/Belgium match this aft….more later…..

Well…just got the new pool cue case that I ordered last week and it is nicer than I expected it to be….it’s actually a hard case to protect the cues and has storage pockets for a towel, chalk, and anything else you need to carry. A great bargain for $22.95….now I may need to buy a new cue to put in it…but it will be hard to give up the one I bought in 1972….

Well…running a little early today with having another one of those nights where I was up and down all night….but, I don’t feel too badly this morning with being good for a second night in a row….it was an okay day yesterday but the storms that came through were pretty disappointing…still waiting for a good one this year…didn’t get much done yesterday but order the brake parts for the car and started getting rid of stuff around here…I do need to get my hair cut today and that will come between working out and getting on the bike…have felt like I have a bug or something the past day or so…just a little off but that could be allergies, too…my lungs are kind of iffy but they clear out when I’m on the bike so I guess it’s no big deal….not much to do today…haircut and maybe an errand or two and then back here for more soccer…in the final days until I have healthcare that kicks in Sunday…that is going to be weird after 16 years without it…more later….

Well….just about on time this morning and I even slept in until 6:37…and it got cold enough that I am going to have to wait for the temp to come up to get on the bike today….slept okay last night but I feel fatigued today and it is probably from not eating enough yesterday…only had three tacos and some stir fry chicken…oh, and a piece of pizza out at pool…which we tied…so maybe I did have enough….it was a nice ride out and back but I do need to order the brake parts today since I am really annoyed at the noise that the fronts are making….should get the part next week and it will only take an hour or so to replace them….didn’t get anything else done yesterday but I am going to try to do some cleaning today…along with cooking some fish that I have been marinating overnight….more later….

Well…woke up this morning with a little bit of depression and I can’t figure that out…the timer got changed on the coffee maker and I can’t figure that out either….slept okay last night but don’t feel that hot right now…maybe it’s a good thing the coffee maker started early….it was a pretty gloomy day yesterday and I hope there is some sun today…I think I need that to feel better…didn’t get anything done yesterday and today will be the same with shooting pool later…I do need to get the fish that I thawed in a marinade this morning so I can cook some tomorrow…I think I may be able to eat out of the freezer for a couple of weeks…still have two more pounds of fish and 4 pounds of ground chuck along with some chicken in there and need to use it so I can buy some pork chops at 99 cents a pound this week….okay….need to have coffee and just sit here and be depressed…more later…

Well…cripes, almost forgot to come here again and I think I’ll think about why it only happens on Sunday…slept okay last night but was up early again…I guess I’ll just get used to it and move on…feel okay today and only hurt in my thighs but it was weird to have cramps in my calves just sitting here yesterday….need to figure that one out…don’t think it’s from not eating enough but it might be since I’ve been down around 1200 calories the past couple of days….I do need to start cleaning out the freezer since there is way too much food in it…I think I’ll make stir fry chicken today since I have some in the fridge that needs to be used or frozen and there is no room to freeze it….I did use some yesterday to make a big salad and still have more for that…damn, have to stop buying food…but, 99 cent a pound pork chops? Need some of those…..and I need to marinade some fish that I am thawing…and I need to watch soccer…not sure when I’ll ride the bike today…need to get out in the next 20 mins to get done before the F1 race…too much to do….more later…

Well….running kind of on time today and slept in all the way to 6:23….and I was going to get out on the bike before soccer starts at 8 but that is not going to happen….just poured the first cup of coffee and just can’t get moving….I did have a nice lunch with T yesterday and it is always good to see her…and it is good to see that her health problems are finally ending….but that was my only meal yesterday since I had a big olive burger and felt full all day….so I am curious to see how I feel on the bike…there is way too much sports on today with F1 qualifying and the Mexico match on a 10 so I’ll be doing some channel flipping today….not much to do today…I do need to cook…oh, not really…I have tacos already made and a leftover chicken breast so I’m good for today…more later….

Well….running a little late today and just can’t get started…again…I hope it’s not from getting old….slept okay last night and didn’t get up until almost 7 so that is sleeping in to me…still have cramps in my calves this morning so I may have damaged them on the bike yesterday….haven’t taken any ibuprofen for over a week now and that will change today…and yesterday was my left calf and that never hurts…I wonder if pain is going to be normal as I get older….I did order a new pool cue case last night after Tom’s new carbon fiber cue popped into my head…the old one is 46 years old and I am tired of repairing it….and it only cost 23 bucks so I couldn’t pass it up…I did get some cleaning done yesterday but I’m not sure about today…going to have lunch with T and that may set me on a vegging path…more later….
