December 9th

Well….running on time this morning and wanted to get this done before soccer starts in a few minutes….feel pretty crappy today and have been coughing all morning so I’m not sure what that is about….just got over the last bug and hope it’s not another one….we’ll see after coffee…slept okay last night but got up early again…not sure what early is anymore…I’m always up around 6 or so so maybe that will be the benchmark for early….didn’t get a lot done yesterday but, with the snow today, it looks like I’ll be in all day and will get some things done…..not sure what that will be but it will be something…after coffee and soccer, that is….more later….

This is weird…

Well….was sitting here swimming in guilt from not riding the bike so I thought I’d go out and just take a look at the trails to see how bad they were…they had snow on some of them but were mostly passable…but I was thinking I needed to be really careful being on the skinny tired road bike….but the weird thing was, when I came to snow covered parts of the trail, the bike went through them better than my mountain bike used to…so, through 10 miles out there, it only slid once where the mountain bike would have been all over the place…not sure if I’ll take it out again until next week with the snow that is coming but it was kind of cool to be able to get a ride in today….

December 8th

Well…running a little late today and just can’t get started…but I’m not sure if I need to….slept okay last night but feel a little slow today since I wasn’t good last night for the first time in 4 days…..didn’t ride the bike yesterday with the snow and it looks like today will be another one without the bike…I’m already feeling guilty about that and need to get into calorie reduction mode now…so, I’ll be down to one meal a day from now until spring and that is a little annoying…but necessary….didn’t get a lot done yesterday but I need to do a few things today…need to get the winter clothes out and put the summer ones away but I’m not sure if I’ll do that today….think I may just take the day off and veg….just like most days….not much to do today…I should clean and I might and I have a chair full of papers that need to go to recycling so that might be a project for today….more later…..

December 7th

Well…running a little late today with doing the grocery run…how the heck do you spend 77 bucks and get nothing? Oh, well….and there was ice everywhere on the road this morning but the old, worn out Blizzaks are still doing their thing and the drive out to groceries was uneventful….feel pretty good this morning with getting everything for the day done already…except cleaning, that is….slept kinda crappy last night and have been up since 5 but I don’t feel like it…have some energy again and part of it is the cold is finally gone…my head is almost clear and I have been able to breathe for the past couple of days and that was a long one…almost a month of the low-level infection and that was no fun…I did get a bike ride in yesterday but today looks like a bust with the snow out there…so I guess I’ll just work out instead….more later….

Idiots….

Well….the world seems to be infested with idiots lately and I have a flooded bathroom to prove it….just having a nice afternoon watching some soccer and I go into my bathroom and there is water everywhere…so, of course, I call the maintenance guys since my ceiling fell in the last time the tub upstairs leaked…but this time it wasn’t a leak…the idiots upstairs just ran the tub over onto the floor…and that is kind of weird since my tub doesn’t seal anywhere near well enough to have it even fill up…let alone run over….cripes…is everyone an idiot?

December 6th

Well….running a little early today and there is no reason for it other than I got up early today….and I was good last night so I feel okay today…finally figured out that the constant pain I am usually in is from riding the bike…took the day off with the crazy wind yesterday and woke up pain free today…that is kind of cool since I was thinking that it was just getting old….slept quite well last night and feel like I think normal people feel when they get up in the morning….have a lot of energy and that is before coffee even….not sure how I’ll use that today but I do want to get out on the bike later if the wind cooperates but so far it looks like another day off…..not much to do today….there is more soccer on…and Man U won yesterday so they are into the knockout stage of the champion’s league….and I am going to cook and clean today….more later…

December 5th

Well….running kind of on time today and feel really tired this morning…slept really crappy last night…it took hours to get to sleep and then I was up and down all night…so that will mean a nap later today….and it looks like no bike ride today with the wind steady over 25-30 mph with gusts of up to 50….and that makes it way too brutal to go out…so, I’ll just have to settle for working out today…oh, and I won at pool and had the top down out and back for the last time in December since the temps are going to be in the 20′s for the rest of the month….didn’t get much done yesterday so I’ll have to make up for it today with no ride…and Man U plays later today so that will help fill the day….I think I’ll get at the dust in the living room today and maybe do the kitchen floor, too….more later…..

December 4th

Well…it’s been a normal morning so far today but I need to get the coffee working…feel a little slow and it might take a while to get going…slept okay last night but the damn cough has come back today and I’m not sure what the heck is going on….this week will be a month and that is way too long for a cold…so it must be allergies and that could go on all winter….and winter is going to start in the next couple of days with the temps in the high 20′s starting wed….but, today I will be able to get out in shorts for the last time since it is already 45 outside…didn’t get a lot done yesterday but repair the bag on the bike and watch sports…and I won’t get a lot done today with pool this aft…..but, that’s okay…really don’t have that much to do….more later….

Another 3,000 mile year….

Well…when stopped for the light at Kalamazoo this morning, I looked down at my bike computer and noticed I had hit 3,000 miles for the year today…along with doing a 100 mile ride, this was my only other goal for the bike this year….and I’ve put 650 miles on the old bike since I got back on it with only 350 more to do to get to buying a new one….it will be nice to get back to the trigger shifters again and the disc brakes….I like riding the old one but the new ones are just so convenient to ride I can’t wait until I can afford one….more later….

December 3rd

Well….running a little late again today and I think I’m in a lower gear this morning….really don’t have to get going until around 10 when it will be warm enough to get out on the bike….just can’t go out when it is 25 degrees yet…but, it did hit me yesterday that I am starting to get used to the cold and I hope my feet get the message…even with double socks on yesterday they were cold….slept okay last night and don’t feel that bad today…the cold is finally in it’s end stage…I hope….didn’t get a lot done yesterday but making soup that came out good and watching some sports…might clean a little today after the bike ride but maybe not….the Lions play at 1 so I’ll have to have things done by then….not much to do today….just a little cleaning and a lot of vegging and that’s okay with me….more later….
