Well…that was a little better…slept through til 5:31 and I don’t think I’ll ever do better than that again…and that sucks…at least I’ll get back to my routine today with getting a ride in and then doing the grocery run…may even hit the beach again but I do need to pay the water bill on the 2nd ride…so I need to write the check after I get this done…and get on the bike in 30 minutes to get the day started…I really do need to clean today and it may be the fridge that has needed a cleaning for a month…need to get some meal planning done, too…and I want to make some chicken soft tacos this weekend and maybe some more potato salad so I’ll be getting a tray of chicken at aldis…and I need to use up what is in the fridge…still have corn on the cob and eggs in there and I may be getting turkey bacon at DD at 2 bucks a pound…turkey bacon? Have never had any good turkey bacon but at that price, I can take a chance…and DD has braunschwieger at 99 cents a chub so I’ll be buying some for my yearly really bad food meals…not much to do today…it will be nice to get back to my routine for the next few days until they tell me I’m dying…oh, well…I’ve lived 16 years longer than my father did so I guess that’s something…more later…

Well…what a day…it started way too early having to be in GH by 6:45…but the ultrasound was easy and I had a very nice tech…one concerning thing was they did every damn organ in my body except my left kidney…gall bladder, liver, spleen, pancreas, and right kidney and I wonder what the heck they are looking for and I wonder why they haven’t told me….I guess I’ll find out in 5-7 days when the results are in…so here I sit, waiting out another set of tests that could seal my doom or at least make my life worse than it is…I’m just tired of dealing with health problems…it is so damn wearing…after that I got the rides in and even went to the beach for a bit but I still had 100 sunscreen on from riding so I didn’t get any extra color…but I did get a swim in and the water was still warm enough to be in for as long as I wanted…okay, tv time…and I’m late for that today…

Well…it’s 4:50 am and I’ve been up since 4:30 and I guess I need to get started getting ready for the ultrasound that I have to be in GH for at 6:45…slept really crappy and the no food or drink thing is getting old…as are all of the damn doctor appointments and tests…after this one, no more…I’ve had enough…it stayed almost 70 overnight and it will be warm enough to put the top down on the car for the GH run and I’ll have the headlights on in the car for the first time….and I may have to wait til tomorrow to do the grocery run since I don’t think the ultrasound is going to take more than a half hour and Aldi won’t be open until 8:30 so the timing doesn’t work…so maybe I’ll just get back here, eat something, and then get the rides in…and then get back to my normal life what there is of it…I am going to heat up some coffee and put it in the contego cup along with a hydro flask of ice water for the trip back…this is going to be a long day…it is so humid I’m sweating just sitting here…ick…more later…

Well…I was a little stressed out about finding the medical facility where they are going to do the ultrasound tomorrow way too early…but I chose 7am since the next available appointment was three weeks out and I sure don’t want to wait that long…and I’m glad I did the run since it took me an extra 20 minutes to find it that I won’t have tomorrow morning…have to stop eating and drinking in the next couple of hours and, of course, no cocktails tonight but I will have my contego cup filled with hot coffee for the ride home along with one of my hydro flasks filled with water and ice…it did rain a bit today but the next is not coming until Sat but it will be warm enough to put the top down for the run to GH at 67 for a low…and I’ll have to put the lights on for the first time in the car and that will be cool…okay, time for the weight work…

Well…up early again today and I’m really getting tired of it…I mean 3:41? But I didn’t get out of bed to 5:38 so I guess that’s a little better…it got down into the 50’s last night and it’s still only 58 out here right now so I’ll have a light fleece on when I head out on the bike before 7am….tomorrow is going to suck with having to be on the road to GH at 6am and trying to find a new place I’ve never been before…loads of stress from that…but I will get to see the lights on in the car for the first time so that will be cool…today is going to be an easy one with just the rides to do…no beach time or anything else but I am going to clean the bathroom and get started on the kitchen…I am so damn tired of the medical crap going on and I wonder what the ultrasound is going to reveal? Just more crap to do and more treatment and more doctor appointments….damn, I hate getting old….need to get moving soon but I am going to have more coffee first…more later…

Well…you know, I was thinking today that I am always busy and I wonder if everyone is like that…I mean two rides, a run to the library and an errand, mowed the front part of the lawn, and then made the chicken stir fry for lunch…didn’t really get done with everything until 1:30 and that was steady moving from 7am…don’t think I’ll be as busy tomorrow but I do have to do the grocery run since I have a 7am doctor appointment down in GH Wed morning…or I may just not do a grocery run this week since there is nothing I really need and I have plenty in the freezer to go with the 4 days of stir fry I have in the fridge..even have 2 full gallons of milk so I can make that last til next week…okay, time to read…

Well…damn, I’m running so late this morning…woke up at 5:07 but went back to sleep til 6:13 and I won’t be out on the bike til almost 7 so I’ll be running all morning…need to hit the library this morning and mow the front of the yard…and make the stir fry for lunch…so I won’t have any time to relax until after noon…it is a little cool this morning and that’s okay…it’s getting down into the 50’s for a low tonight so I’ll have to close this place up…or put a blanket on the bed…I guess we’ll see…didn’t get anything done yesterday but I am going to clean today and put stuff away…the dining room table needs attention…damn, only have 15 minutes before 7am and I am struggling to get going….I am old after all and I wonder when it’s going to happen that I just can’t get going anymore? Not today…so I need to get off my butt and prep for the rides…so damn tired…more later….

Well…we didn’t get the inch of rain that was in the forecast but it did rain for about 20 minutes this afternoon…not enough to fix my lawn but it may limit the damage some…I am going to have to mow the front of the lawn tomorrow but not anything else since it is completely dormant…so, I didn’t do much today…even skipped dinner since I didn’t feel like cooking so I’ll make the stir fry tomorrow…just don’t have any appetite anymore and I wonder if that will ever change…I did get two rides in this morning and I’ll try to keep that up with how warm it stays overnight…it was 76 with 87% humidity when I want out and I still didn’t sweat much and I wonder if that is a part of the dehydration I’ve been feeling or if it’s from losing 30 pounds? Haven’t even sweated through my hat to get it dripping at all this year…hmmm…okay, need to finish a book before the USA plays in the Gold Cup final at 7…

Well…another morning up before 5am and I’m so damn tired and I wonder why I can’t take a nap in the afternoon like I used to be able to? And the weather forecast of rain is just frickin laughable since it never rains here…twice in 90 days? Didn’t sleep for crap last night and that is getting to be a pattern…I mean how long can you sleep only 5 hours a night before it starts to affect your health? I did make whole bean coffee for this morning and it really sucks that I can’t taste it anymore….and I have 6 more pounds in the drawer that I won’t be able to taste either…not sure what I’m going to cook today…have chicken thawed for a stir fry but then chicken tacos got into my head…maybe I’ll get more chicken and do the tacos later in the week….need to get on the bike to do two rides before 10 when the F1 race is on but I’m losing interest in it…like everything else…still have the feeling they are going to find liver cancer with the ultrasound  Wed and that will be the end of me…so I need to get my life in order over the next week or so…not much to do today..just the rides and races and reading…and trying to enjoy my last few days of no cancer…more later…

Well…damn, it got up to 92 degrees out here today so I really didn’t do much but the two rides early this morning and then sat in the shade of my fan all day and read…just finished the 4th of 5 books I picked up Wed…on more James Patterson to do and that will be tomorrow…but there are 3 races on, too, so that will fill some of the time…not sure when I’ll get the rides in tomorrow since it’s supposed to rain off and on but I’ll believe that when I see it…so it could be a wet ride if it’s not storming…didn’t eat much today but I did make a pork loin fillet along with some weird popcorn cauliflower that I got at DD for 99cents…so now all I have to do is finish the race that’s on now and then try to find a movie to watch on plex…tv time…
