July 14th

Well…running late today with getting out on the bike before coming here…and it was not a good idea to go out without having coffee first…made the ride just torture but I’m glad I got out before the storms come in…had huge cramps in my hands the whole way and I’m not sure what that is about…they normally go away after the first few miles but not today…slept okay last night but got up early today…it is strange to get up at 6:50 and be on the bike by 7:10….didn’t get a lot done yesterday and today looks to be the same with the tour on now and then going over to watch the third place match from the world cup…the game that no one wants to play so it may not be a good one….I do need to do some laundry in a few minutes but I am trying to get some coffee in first…this is just not the right sequence with the coffee….don’t think I’ll do that again…didn’t even get a full glass of water in before the bike ride and that didn’t help…more later…

July 13th

Well…man, I feel like crap this morning and I think it may be the new allergy medicine I used last night….wanted to try something other than the red dots I had been using but I think these are not going to do it….slept okay last night but feel tired as heck today so I think I’ll have to ease into it with more coffee…I did get the car cleaned yesterday but it may have rained last night so I may have to do it all over…but, probably not…geez…my lungs are congested today and I wonder where that came from…just not feeling too hot….I did run the ac in the car yesterday and it is still cold so I can run it out to pool Monday in the storms….I did get a few things done yesterday and I should do more today but I’m not sure how much I’ll do feeling like this….just want to hit the couch and veg but I do have a couple of things to do this morning….and have some cleaning to do later but need to let the coffee work first….more later….

The spandex boys are back…

Well…you’ve heard me rant before that no one, and I mean no one should ever wear spandex…at least I’ve never seen anyone who looks good in it…but, the spandex is blooming again now that the Tour de France is going on…this happens every year when groups of newbies decked out like cycle teams infest my trails. It started Sunday when I saw the first one….a guy about my height but weighing approximately 250 pounds went by…and every roll of fat stuck out like a balloon that is being squeezed…and he had the seat of the bike so low that he could barely pedal…now, I normally don’t comment on people’s looks but damn, didn’t he look in the mirror before he left his place? There is still two more weeks to go in the tour so I guess I’ll just have to look the other way….

July 12th

Well….running on time for a Thursday and that means it’s a little late for a normal day….not sure why but I feel pretty crappy this morning…probably from not eating enough but I am going to fix that today…going to make a taco casserole and then some chicken thighs so I hope that fixes it…slept okay last night but my bed looks like a hurricane hit it so I must have tossed a bit…I had both earplugs in when I got up so that was new….I am a little disappointed that England lost yesterday but it should still be a good final…and I found out the Ukrainian woman at the checkout is actually from Croatia and she is happy that they are in the final……I did get a bunch of errands run yesterday and I may even clean the car today but I need to get the bike ride in first…not much to do today….going to just cook today and then veg it out…more later…

July 11th

Well…running on time today and I really shouldn’t be…haven’t been feeling that hot the past few days and I’m not sure what it is…slept okay last night but have this feeling of fatigue today so I think I’ll ease into it…I did have a nice lunch with T yesterday and it is funny to see her turning into a soccer geek like me…but, Belgium lost yesterday and that is a little depressing…but I still have England to root for this afternoon and then the final on Sunday…and the premier league starts back up in a couple of weeks so that will give me something to watch…didn’t get a lot done yesterday but have errands to run after the ride today that will take me to lunch….need to figure out what to cook but nothing looks too appealing so that may be a chore…more later….

July 10th

Well…feeling a little crappy today with my stomach still giving me fits and I’m not sure what that is about…slept okay last night but no dreams to speak of but that is the new normal around here…it was a pretty nice day and had a great ride out and back to pool…which I lost for the second week in a row…and I got out to have a couple with G who I haven’t seen in a couple of months….and that started my night out a little early and could be why I feel a little slow this morning….I am looking forward to the Belgium/France game this afternoon and to having lunch with T….haven’t seen her for a few weeks and lunch should be fun…I do need to run some errands but I guess that will have to be moved til tomorrow….more later…

July 9th

Well…running a little early today but there really is no reason for it…with the world cup on last week, I had to get out on the bike by 7:30 every day…but no game until tomorrow afternoon so I can kind of ease into the day today…my stomach gave me fits yesterday but it seems okay right now….not sure what that was about but it may have been from not eating enough….have to remember that even a big salad is not enough for a meal….still don’t feel that hot right now, though, but I’m sure it’s not from not eating enough….well…not sure but maybe….didn’t get anything else done but laundry and dishes and today will be the same with pool this aft…just can’t get started…I may have to take a day off the bike soon to let the legs rest….have been on it every day for almost 3 months now and that is a bit much…more later…

July 8th

Well…as you can see, I’m running really late this morning with doing the bike ride first to get back here for the F1 race that starts in a few minutes…slept okay last night and felt really crappy when I got up and that made for a long bike ride…and only having a half cup of coffee before I went out didn’t help…didn’t do much yesterday but watch sports with soccer and races on…and I just remembered that the Tour de France is on, too, so I need to remember to watch that later….so today will probably be another veg day…at least for a while….I did get my berries for the traditional ice cream and berries this morning but that will wait until later in the week…more later….

More daily deals…

Well…you know that I’ve talked about the store, Daily Deals before when I got 6 pounds of ground chuck for 6 bucks…and today, another deal came across my phone that I had to check out. They had 5 pounds of  fully cooked, smoked pulled pork on sale for 5 pounds for 5 bucks…and it even has bbq sauce in it already…so I got a 5 pound brick that is now thawing in my fridge so I can cut it up and put it in storage bags….when I did the math, and using a quarter pound per sandwich, that makes each one about 40 cents and that will make a meal for me…hope it tastes good, but how can you ruin smoked pulled pork?

July 7th

Well….need to be running early today to get back here before F1 qualifying at 9…and then soccer starts at 10 but it is only 55 outside right now so I need to wait until 7:30 to go out…it was an okay day yesterday with all of the sports on and today looks the same…identical, actually, so it will be a good day….other than the sports, didn’t get anything else done but I will get some cleaning done today….the kitchen and bathroom need to be done and I should go on cobweb patrol, too….I just need to get motivated and that is the hard part….my back has been giving me fits the past few days and it is starting again this morning…not too bad so far but just annoying…okay…need more coffee and to read a little news…more later…
