May 11th

Well…I think I’m running on time today since it is only a little after 7…..slept a little crappy last night and I wonder why that would be…it’s been okay lately so that’s disappointing….it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get much done but today will be different…not going to get on the bike with it being in the 40′s and rainy all day…in the 40′s in May? Cripes, that’s cold….so that will mean I’ll need to do something around here to keep the guilts at bay…vacuuming should be done and the kitchen could use a once over….I do need to run an errand this morning but that’s about all I need to do…going to marinade some more fish to have tomorrow but not until the coffee starts to work….more later….

May 10th

Well…running a little late today with having to go to 2 grocery stores to get what I needed…and it started to rain again so I’m not sure when I’ll get out on the bike today…and the high is going to be 50 tomorrow with rain so I do need to get out today since I may take the day off tomorrow….slept okay last night and even slept in til 6:45 which puts me behind for grocery day….but, I have my coffee and news now so I guess it’s okay….the bike has been working perfectly for the past couple of weeks so I think I have the shifter fixed…and it is nice have it working right…didn’t get anything done yesterday but I will get the vacuuming done today before Man U plays…it is the next to last game in the season and they need to win to ensure 2nd place and the Champions league play this fall….not much to do today…just the normal stuff and cooking for lunch….more later…

May 9th

Well….running a little early today and it is cold in here since I forgot to put the heat on last night…haven’t needed it for a few nights but will for the next few days…slept okay last night and feel a little better today….not sure what is going on but felt pretty crappy yesterday and was stuffed up and couldn’t breathe so I think the allergies are flaring up again…I think I need to try to find a new medicine for it…or take more of what I have been using….got a nice ride in yesterday but skipped working out…I’ll get back on the machine today and it will have to be soon since it is supposed to rain around 10 or so and thenĀ  continue off and on the rest of the day….didn’t get anything done yesterday but I am going to vacuum and get rid of the cobwebs today…they are annoying the heck out of me and need to be gone….more later…

May 8th

Well…running a little late today and just can’t get started…and I feel pretty crappy this morning and I don’t know why….oh, and I lost at pool for the fourth time in a row…didn’t look to see if that is true but I’ll get to that later….I did have a nice ride out and back with the top down so that made up for it….didn’t get anything else done yesterday and I think I won’t get much done today….I think I may take the day off feeling like I do….I did talk to C last night and he may be coming into town in the next couple of weeks so I won’t have to drive to Mt. P….I do have errands to run today but I’m not sure if I’m going to do them….even getting on the bike may be too much work today….but. we’ll see after the coffee starts to work….more later….

May 7th

Well…I think I’m up but I’m not sure….feel kind of off this morning and I hope that goes away soon…slept okay last night but I think I didn’t eat enough yesterday so that is going to have to be fixed today or I’ll be out of energy by noon…I did get the bathroom cleaned, finally, and even worked on the kitchen some so not doing anything today won’t make me too guilty….I did get a nice bike ride in yesterday and went pretty hard and I’ll try to do that again today…and the wind was almost calm so that made it even better…and today is calm out there so I’ll go as soon as it warms up enough…it is still only 42 out there and I need at least 5 more degrees….not much to do today… pool, but that’s about it….but, I need more coffee and some news first….more later….

May 6th

Well…I think I’m on time this morning but I can’t be sure…slept okay last night but do feel a little slow today and I am thinking of taking a day off the bike…just thinking about it…will probably get out when it gets a little warmer but there are showers coming in and I don’t think it’s warm enough to get wet….I think my heel is on the way to being healed with the new cream and pumice that I have been using…it doesn’t hurt at all this morning and that is the first time for that in almost 4 months…..it is weird to walk almost normally and I keep waiting for it to hurt….and, my back doesn’t hurt, either so I am a little confused….didn’t get a lot done yesterday and I should do my bathroom today…that could happen but I’m not sure if it will….just can’t get moving so we’ll see when the coffee starts to work….more later….

A funny morning…

Well….had a nice ride this morning that ended up with seeing something I’ve never seen before in this part of the state. When I got to my last water stop at the park and was just sitting there looking at the baseball fields that are in the upper part of the park, I saw some people playing what I assumed was baseball since I wasn’t paying too much attention…but then I saw the pitcher use a really strange windup and I realized that they were playing cricket…so I decided to go take a look and it was a group of men from India who had set up their cricket equipment and were playing a game….talked to one of them and mentioned that I had never seen cricket played around here and he just laughed…you would never have seen that when I was young….pretty cool….

May 5th

Well…running a little early today with getting up at 5:30 and I am getting tired of getting up so early…feel okay this morning and I am not too sore so that means a hard ride on the bike today…but, I am going to take some ibuprofen before I get out…my right thigh has been hurting the past few days and I want to get ahead of that one…went out early on the bike yesterday to beat the wind and just did it…it started to blow hard just after I got back here…the gusts got up to 58 mph yesterday and that took a branch down at T’s and punched a hole in her garage roof…that kind of sucks….I did get some cleaning done yesterday and will continue that today….my microwave is clean and that took some work and I did get to the counters and stove, too….not much to do today….I am going to get out on the bike as soon as the temp comes up and then the Kentucky Derby is on later along with a race so I won’t be too bored….more later….

May 4th

Well….running a little late today with the realization that today is the anniversary of the Kent State shootings and needing to reflect on that a bit….it was a little weird that I slept through the night without waking up last night and I can’t remember that happening in a long, long time….but, I still feel a little slow this morning since I wasn’t good last night…I did have a good day yesterday and had the hardest bike ride of the year so far….sweated through everything and my hat was dripping and that made me feel good…but, I paid for that later in the day…was just dead in the aft and I hope that goes away soon….it was pretty cool what the rain and warmer weather did to the trees and flowers..they just exploded yesterday and it is nice to see some colors after the drabness of this spring….and it is already over 60 so I can get out as soon as the coffee starts to work…not sure if I’m going to do much today but I should…there is some cleaning to do and I might do it…or, I might not…who knows?

May 3rd

Well…running a little late today with doing the grocery run and not getting up til late….and I got wet with it raining now and for the next few hours so it will be a late start on the bike today…had a pretty nice day yesterday with getting out to have a couple with T and had quite a few laughs…it’s always fun to see her…and I had the top down over and back with SD on the player…felt happy for the first time in a while….but, I didn’t get much else done so I’ll have to do some work today….I do need to clean and get some computer work done but that will wait until later after I have coffee and read some news….I’m not sure where Meijers gets the split chicken breasts they sell…they are mutants wherever they get them…I got three and they were almost 5 pounds…can get three meals out of each….weird…more later….
