June 2nd

Well…running early today with getting up at 5…again…and that is getting to be pretty darn annoying….slept okay, I think, and don’t feel too badly so far today…my back did crack yesterday so that pain is gone but both of my thighs hurt like crazy this morning…it’s good that today is a no sprint day…need to take is easy so they can heal up…and I’ll take something for it before I get on the bike….didn’t get a lot done yesterday but didn’t really need to and today will be filled with lots of races so I’ll probably veg it out after the ride….I do need to go to Meijers to get some eggs today with them on sale for 49 cents a dozen…can’t pass that up….might do that before the bike ride….more later….

June 1st

Well…have been up since 5 and didn’t sleep at all last night so I am feeling it today…just feel crappy right now and I am hoping that the coffee will do it’s thing right now….but, my back cracked yesterday afternoon so I guess that’s something…I am getting a little tired of the humidity and am looking forward to it cooling off some this weekend….my allergies are off the charts today and I have a dull headache that has been here for almost a week…the little allergy tabs seem to be working less and less so I guess I’ll have to try something else soon…or maybe take the suggested dosage of two at a time…didn’t get much done yesterday but I have some errands to run this morning after the bike ride…will probably get out early today since getting up so early has started my day way too early….more later….

May 31st

Well…running on time this morning and feel good that I didn’t spend as much on groceries this week…I did get some healthy food so there will be salads in the future…slept okay last night but I am disappointed with the storms that came through yesterday…just rain and no lightning or thunder…I need to be entertained…other than that, it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get much done…I think I need to do some cleaning today but I am already sweating with the humidity so I may wait until it goes down some…it should be a nice bike ride today since my back just cracked and the pain in my left leg is gone…have been waiting for that to happen for a few days now and it is a relief….not much to do today…just going to ease into it and have more coffee before I decide what to do…more later…

May 30th

Well…running early today with getting up at 6 again…that seems to be settling in as the new normal and I’m okay with that…but, I may have to reset the timer on the coffee maker so it will be ready when I get up…had a pretty nice day yesterday with getting out to have a couple with T and having the top down over and back…always fun conversation, too….slept okay last night and don’t feel too badly this morning but haven’t gotten the back to crack yet and that hurts a little…the bugs are invading this place and I’ll need to spray for them today….huge ants and lots of spiders and that is just annoying….I did get a nice bike ride in yesterday with no shortness of breath so that is a relief…was a little concerned with how I felt on the bike Monday but I guess it was just a passing thing….not much to do today…might run an errand this morning or I might not…not sure yet…and I do have some fish to cook so that will give me something to do…more later…

May 29th

Well….running a little early today with getting up at 6:05…and that made me laugh…if you know Steely Dan, you’ll know the significance of that time…slept okay last night and don’t feel too badly this morning…just a little slow waiting for the coffee to start working…my back has been a little hinky the past couple of days and I am going to work on getting it to release later this morning…I am still a little geeked that I am getting my second credit card in a week or so and the credit repair moves forward….can’t believe the deal they offered but I’ll take it…not even any interest until August of next year….I may be having lunch with T today if she feels good enough to do it….I worry about her sometimes….not much to do today…the normal stuff and an errand, and then lunch but that will be about it for the day….more later…I’ll get back to politics today if I can come up with a topic…

Good news but feeling beat up….

Well…I think I damn near killed myself on the bike this morning and I am still feeling pretty beat up from it…not sure why it was such a struggle today but I was having problems catching my breath at times…this happens a couple of times a year and I think I may have not eaten enough…just a small burger for lunch and three tacos for dinner…so I may have done it to myself…we’ll see…oh, the good news…just got approved for my second credit card! It’s from capital one and has a 5K limit, no annual fee, 1.5% cash back, and I get 150 bucks back if I spend 500 dollars on it in the first three months…something that will be pretty easy if I stop using the secure one and put all my groceries on it…maybe even a new set of tires…they would be almost free…yay!

May 28th

Well…running about on time today but I am feeling a little slow so the coffee needs to start working soon…slept okay last night but on my right shoulder and it hurts today…but, nothing else does so I guess that’s something…it was a wasted day yesterday with all the races on and that means nothing got done but I am going to try to do some cleaning today…it’s supposed to be almost 95 again today but it was almost that warm yesterday and it stayed comfortable in here so no air again today…didn’t have to cook yesterday but I am going to make some big ribs today and then some leftover tacos later….no pool today with it being a holiday so I guess I’ll just veg out the day and take a long bike ride…more later….

The dreaded boredom starts….

Well….only about halfway through race day and I am starting to get bored a little so I thought I’d come here and noodle around for a bit…I am still pretty geeked that my car started fine this morning after sitting for three days unused…that’s the first time that has happened since I put the new battery in it last fall…I even had my battery booster box all charged up and ready to go if it didn’t…I did get out on the bike for a nice ride at 7 this morning and I remembered to have coffee first and can’t believe the difference that made…lots of sprints and sweat that felt good…and the bike is still working perfectly, too…now that I think of it, everything I use every day is working great including the phone…weird….it’s already up to 90 outside getting to 93 or so today but it is still comfortable in here at about 76 degrees….no air until later if it gets too warm…okay, part of the boredom is trying to multitask and I need to stop that..so, I will…more later?

May 27th

Well…running quite early today with getting ready for the biggest race day of the year…starting at 9 we have Monaco, Indy, and the Coke 600 to watch today so there will be racing and napping all day…slept okay last night and had some good news already today…let the car sit without starting it with the battery connected since Thursday morning and it fired right up today so I guess it was the battery last fall after all….and now the car is back to normal and that feels good…didn’t get anything done yesterday and with today being race day, I won’t get much done today, either….and that’s okay since I really don’t have much to do….I am going to get the bike ride in before the 9 am start of Monaco and I am getting some coffee down today before I go…I didn’t yesterday and it was torture on the bike without it….more later…

May 26th

Well…sitting here waiting for the rain to stop so I can get out on the bike before F1 qualifying…but, that is not looking good since it starts at 9 and it is already 7:24….slept okay last night but feel a little slow today and I hope that the bike ride will help with that…I do need to take some ibuprofen right now since my hands cramped up like crazy on the ride yesterday….didn’t get a lot done yesterday and probably won’t today, either….just haven’t been motivated lately and that’s okay….I am going to make some tacos today but I’m not sure for lunch or dinner….I think I’ve had too much beef lately and it’s hurting my digestion…okay, need to get on the bike…more later….
