December 19th

Well…running early today with getting up early and I’m just shrugging about that….have been sleeping okay lately but that ended last night with another up and down night….feel kinda crappy today and I think it’s the calorie restriction that is doing it….should be able to tell for sure later in the day….have been fighting cracks in my right heel and it is starting to hurt when I walk…this happens every winter and I am pretty tired of it….oh, I did win at pool yesterday and had  a nice drive out and back….I still like that crude old car….didn’t get anything else done yesterday but today I will…going to wash the car and then clean a little around here but that is about it….more later…

December 18th

Well…not running early or late today…hmmm..so I guess that means I’m on time? But, for what? I just realized I haven’t had a watch on for 15 years…I wonder if the one I have still works…probably not…oh, well…slept okay last night but it was another boring day yesterday that I really didn’t do anything….should have cleaned some but just couldn’t get motivated but I will have to do some things today with it being a pool day…and, I want to get my hair cut but that will be about it for the day….I do need to work out to try to stay in shape this winter….I think I’ll do that every day from now until March…don’t have a lot of energy today with the calorie restrictions that I have to do over the winter and I can tell it’s going to get pretty annoying trying to stay around 1,000 cals a day….but, I guess it’s just like the early start to the winter…I’ll just have to live with it….more later….

December 17th

Well…I’m already tired of it being so damn cold lately…I’m almost in hunker down mode and have started to count the weeks until March…slept okay last night but still feel worn out today so it looks like I’ll just take it easy for a while until the coffee starts to work….have been fighting cracks in my heels already this year and that normally doesn’t start until later in winter…it’s not even officially winter yet and it seems like it has been snowing and cold forever…okay…no more obsessing about that….it’s warm in here, after all, and I really don’t have much to bitch about….didn’t get a lot done yesterday but laundry so today I’ll have to clean some…no cooking since I have leftovers and I am trying to limit calories, again….more later….

December 16th

Well…sitting here waiting for soccer to start and thought I’d get this one done….it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get a lot done…slept okay last night and don’t feel anywhere as bad as I should…I was not good last night, as you can probably figure out….and my back is still not hurting at all so maybe I can stop thinking about it….I did cook a big ham that I got Thursday…I know ham is not good for me but how can you pass up a spiral sliced one for 97 cents a pound? I can tell I’m going to be grumpy with the weather being so crappy I can’t ride the bike….not sure if I can start to hibernate yet but it’s looking more and more like I am going to have to…..not much to do today…going to clean a little but no cooking today…and I have laundry to do…another kind of boring day….more later….

December 15th

Well..running a little later today since I didn’t get up until after 7 today….and that is a little unusual…slept okay last night and I am wondering why there have been no dreams for months now…oh, well….have been feeling slow with not being on the bike for a week now and it looks like I’m done for the year….winter just started way too early this year and I’m not really happy about that…I did get over 3100 miles in for the year and that makes it a good one….I am going to buy the new bike in January but I still need to take the Motobecane apart and strip the good parts off it….and find a place to store them…not too much room around here….not much to do today…I did clean the kitchen some yesterday and I hope to continue the cleaning today….more later….

December 14th

Well….running normally for a Thursday…even possibly a little early since it is before 8…it is damn cold out there with the temp only 5 degrees but my car started fine so that was cool…okay, the temp has just dropped to 3…brrrr….slept okay last night and feel pretty good this morning with getting the grocery run done…I’ve never seen my fridge with less food in it than this morning…and that worked out just right since I bought a 9 pound spiral sliced ham and that will keep me going for more than a week….I do need to vary what I’ve been eating…going to make pasta today and may even wait to heat the ham until tomorrow….didn’t get a lot done yesterday but I think I do need to clean today…but, coffee first and some news…more later…

December 13th

Well….running a little early today with wanting to get up to read the news about Alabama this morning…but, I’ll talk about that later today…slept okay last night and don’t feel too bad today so that is a plus….had a nice day yesterday with getting out to have HH with T…it was nice to see her and we had lots of laughs and a good conversation….but that meant I didn’t get anything done yesterday and might not today, either….won’t be going anywhere until tomorrow and that is probably good thing since we are supposed to get 5+ inches of snow today….and it’s supposed to get down to 5 degrees tonight so I’ll have to warm the car up in the morning…way to damn early for it to be this cold but it’s Michigan and almost winter so I guess we’ll just have to endure it….more later….

A few things…

Well…it’s another day where I have a bunch of thoughts but none of them fleshed out enough to make an entire post…and, with not riding the bike, my time that I use to think is not there…so, you get this mish mash that might even be a little lucid. First, the big deal today is the senate election in Alabama, where a qualified dem is running against a pedophile repub who is not qualified to be dog catcher and the race is too close to call right now….but, I’ve gone off about this before so I won’t go over it again….Space X is going to try to launch a completely used booster and capsule tomorrow around noon and that should be cool to see…this is not the Falcon Heavy that is going to launch Musk’s Tesla roadster but is should still be nice to see the launch and landing. Just read an article that says all of the smart speakers like Alexa constantly listen in to everything going on in the houses where they are installed…and that google and the rest of them actually keep all that data on their servers for some reason…now, I may be a little paranoid but I sure wouldn’t want anyone listening in to my place 24 hours a day…this is one of the reasons I keep the camera on my computer covered with a piece of tape…it has been shown that they can be hacked and used to watch anyone using it…way too creepy for me….more later…

December 12th

Well…running quite early today with getting up way too early but that is turning into the new normal….feel a little crappy today with my lungs still itchy and coughing some and it looks like I’ll be dealing with this crap all winter…at least it didn’t snow much last night when we were supposed to get 5 inches so getting out today will be easy….didn’t shoot pool yesterday with Tom having a bug so I didn’t win or lose….I am going to get out of here for a while today to meet up with T for a few minutes and that will be fun…I’ve driven my car less than a mile in the past week and I do need to at least get it up to temp…it’s not good for it to have all the short runs….not much to do today…after the meet up with T, it will be just a normal day…maybe some soccer this aft but that is about it…more later….

December 11th

Well…running a little early today and that’s okay….just to get moving is a good thing…slept okay last night but woke up to all the bedding strewn across the bedroom again…must have had a toss and turn night but I really don’t remember it…didn’t get a lot done yesterday and today looks to be the same with pool this aft…and no bike ride again and that looks like the pattern for the rest of the year….so I will need to work out every day so the guilts don’t take over….I really don’t want to have to get into the calorie restrictions that I know I have to do…it is annoying to only have one meal a day….not much to do today…I am easing into the day with coffee and a little tv…I think I have a problem with my right eye since it has been watering for the past day or so….I know it’s allergies since it stops when I take my allergy stuff…darn…I hate getting older…more later….
