December 23rd

Well…sitting here a little disappointed that I got distracted and forgot to put the water in the coffee maker and now I have to wait for it to cool down so I can start it….luckily, I did have a leftover cup in it so I can have some coffee while I wait…slept okay last night and really don’t feel too badly this morning….I am sore from riding the bike the past couple of days and it looks like I’ll be able to get out again today…will take some ibuprofen before going out today to keep my legs from getting worse…hope it’s dried up some on the trail today…it was wet with the perfect temp for ice formation on the bike and by the time I got back here, the small front sprocket was unusable with ice buildup that covered the teeth….my shoes were even blocks of ice when I got back here and it took most of the day for my feet to thaw….not much to do today…going to make some pork stir fry for lunch and do a little cleaning but there are soccer matches on all day with Man U finishing it up at three this aft and that may keep me busy….more later….

December 22nd

Well….just got the first cup of coffee but it isn’t working just yet…hope it starts soon since I feel a little slow today…slept okay last night and didn’t get up until late so this one is a little late…but, again, late is just relative these days….I’m not as sore as I expected today and it didn’t snow as much as expected so I think I’ll get out on the bike again today….but I have some errands to do today first….don’t want to be out in the stores after today….didn’t get a lot done yesterday but today will be different…okay…it MAY be different but I’m not going to promise anything….don’t have to cook today but I am going to make a pork stir fry tomorrow out of some pork loin that was in the freezer….not much to do today…going to clean a little but that is about it….more later…

On a lighter note…

Well…have gotten almost all the bile out of my system with today’s posts so I think it’s time to end the day on a lighter note. I got out on the bike today! I really was thinking that I was done until March of next year so today was a nice little bonus….and I can’t believe how fast my fitness level regresses…I was only off the bike for two weeks and it feels like the I’m just starting out in the spring…my legs and lungs were burning today and I can still feel the pain right now…might even have to take something for it to keep the inflammation down…but, I was still was grinning the whole time…and, I may be able to get out again tomorrow and Saturday if it doesn’t snow tonight….

December 21st

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but the only thing I got done was the grocery run…and I think I’m getting a sore throat which will mean there is some kind of bug coming and that is a little disappointing…just got over oneĀ  a week ago and that one lasted a month….slept okay last night but feel a little slow today and I’m not sure what I’m going to do today…probably some cleaning and I do have to cook today since there are no leftovers left…think I’ll make some venison tacos to have something different than the ham I’ve had for a week….and I’ll make some pork stir fry tomorrow….not much to do today…going to just ease into the day and then get a workout in to start….more later…..

December 20th

Well….running late today with already doing three errands….did get the grocery run in but had to stop and put gas in the car and then to FF for vermouth…I wonder why Meijer’s never has the stuff I like? Slept kind of okay last night and didn’t get up until almost 7 which put me scrambling since I like to get out to get the groceries by 7 am to beat the crowds…and I went today instead of Thursday just for that reason with the holiday coming up…I did get the car washed yesterday and I swung by the site of the old car wash and it’s gone as I expected….not sure if I like the one I used yesterday since the dollar bill slot wasn’t working but someone had left two dollar coins on the ground so it was free and that was cool…I did get some stuff done yesterday and today I should be able to continue that….more later….

Found my thermometer!

Well…not sure if I mentioned this or not, but a few weeks ago I lost my meat thermometer somehow…in a little place like mine, that is some doing…I had assumed that it had gotten caught up in some plastic grocery bags that I had thrown away. But, today, while I was fishing out some bags to recycle my newspapers, I found my thermometer stuck in the handle of a bag….that made my day not having to buy a new one…I know they’re not expensive but even at 10-12 bucks, I just didn’t want to spend the cash….little things can make me happy….

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 hadĀ  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….
