14 more to do…

Well…as I said before…I am trying to get to 100 for this month and there may be a filler or two in there…and, here’s one….just sitting here doing nothing…even though I should be doing something…so, I thought I’d just noodle around for a while…skipped the bike ride today and will probably skip tomorrow, too…just too wet and cold to go out today and I just can’t get motivated to get going to do anything….so, I may just declare this a wasted day and get rid of  the guilt….still think I may have a little bug since I still feel warm but I’m not coughing much so it can’t be too bad….I’ll probably know tomorrow morning and I hope it’s not too bad….I do have work to do around here and I should clean my bathroom but that is usually for the weekend…even though weekends don’t mean much to me….okay…this is a little depressing so I’m going to stop here…need more ice water and no one is going to get it for me….

February 24th

Well…feeling pretty crappy today and it is both mental and physical….and that’s why I’m running late today….falling back into a little depressive episode that started yesterday on the bike and that continues this morning…I wonder if I should wallow in it for a while and just let it run it’s course or try to force it away….hmmm….I did get some stuff done yesterday…got the car cleaned and ran some errands…made a little cash, too, so that was cool but had to make a run out late in the evening that wasn’t….okay…it’s 35 degrees out and I’m hearing thunder so I’m going to go take a look at it and have some coffee….more later….

February 23rd

Well….thought I had a bug coming on yesterday but it appears it was just under eating again…feel okay this morning and haven’t been coughing so that leaves me a little confused….I still feel warm, though, so I am not sure how that fits in….okay, maybe a little bug but I thing I can work through it today….didn’t get a lot done yesterday but today will be different….already have the grocery run in and am going to wash the car in a few minutes so I can wax it after it dries off…then the normal bike ride and then errands…and I have a late errand to run tonight and I hope it is still warm enough to put the top down…..it’s fun at night with the top down and the lights on…and I am going to make a little cash today and that will give me enough cash for next week so I can buy groceries again….but, first, I am going to have more coffee and read a little news so I can get a few more of these out today…more later….

Not sure what is going on….

Well…after getting through the winter without being sick once…I think my luck has run out…have been feeling like crap this afternoon with no energy and I’m sweating like crazy…and a cough has just started so I’m pretty sure it’s not from not eating enough…we’ll see in the morning I guess…crap…was hoping to get through to spring without any bugs this year….and I have a lot to do tomorrow and Friday so I guess I’ll just have to suck it up and shift down a gear to get it all done..wanted to get the car washed and waxed tomorrow….oh, well….I guess it will wait…..

February 22nd

Well…another night of being good and that puts me here early today….feel a little sore but my legs were much better on the bike yesterday with most of the burning being gone….and it looks like I’ll be able to get out early today since it is already over 50 right now at a little after 7 in the morning….I made a little cash yesterday so I will have money for groceries this week and that takes a load off….but, the funny thing is I don’t have a lot to get this week…going to clean out the freezer and use what I have in there…lots of chicken and ribs so that will be the meals for the week…oh, and it was a top down run for errands yesterday so that was cool….don’t have a lot to do today but work around here…no cooking since I have so many leftovers…man, my allergies are terrible this morning and I think I may have to take something for it before the sneezing drives me nuts….more later…

February 21st

Well…I think doing a double ride so early in the year may have been a mistake….my legs were burning throughout  the ride yesterday and most of the afternoon after….and they still hurt some this morning and I may take the day off to let them heal….and it’s raining right now so that makes it easier to rest….feel okay today after the second day of being good but I still need to add calories…but, I’m back in the mode that nothing appeals to me to eat so I think I may have to spice everything up so I can taste it….going to make some slow cooked pork chops this morning and I hope that helps….don’t have a lot to do today but some work around here and I should do some cleaning so I won’t be too bored….but, that will wait for a while until I have some coffee….that even tastes odd today and I can’t figure that out….more later….

February 20th

Well….running late this morning and I just can’t get started…maybe the coffee will help…had an okay day yesterday and got 30 miles in on the bike so I should be more sore than I feel right now…but, I haven’t moved around a lot so maybe I just haven’t noticed the pain…I do like the weather we’ve been having…I mean, 62 degrees in February…and that is going to continue…almost 70 wed? But then snow sat? That’s Michigan for you….didn’t get anything done yesterday and I may do the same today….I do need to get the state taxes done and pay my car insurance today…and cook something…should get the pork chops in a marinade this morning so I’ll have a choice what to eat later….and I do need to start eating more if I’m going to be on the bike….was really short on cals the past few days and I can really feel it…more later….

A new contest…

Well…just finished up my second 15 miles of the day and I am thinking I’ll be pretty sore tomorrow…but, that’s not what this one is about….after doing all the work on the bike yesterday and feeling how good it rides now, a thought popped into my head….I never replace cars until I have used them up so why am I thinking about replacing the bike when it still has life in it? So, I think a new contest is in order…I think I’ll do the car thing with the bike and just see how long I can still ride the thing until it dies. Only have about 750 miles left to get to 30K and then I think I’ll update about every thousand miles…will give me something to do….

February 19th

Well….woke up feeling pretty crappy this morning and I’m not sure why…I sure hope it’s not allergies this soon in the year….I did get out on the bike in shorts yesterday and that’s the plan for today but I’ll have to wait until the aft since it is too cold right now….and I do want to see ManU play at 11…and the race that was rained out from last night…I did get the bike cleaned and re-shimmed yesterday…and I switched the brake pads from front to rear since I didn’t have much rear brake and that is the one I use the most….it is kind of cool to have the new computer running on the battery…sitting on the couch doing this one and that is pretty cool…don’t have a lot to do today other than the bike ride so I think it will be an easy one….I should clean some but I don’t think I will….can see that I won’t be too motivated today….more later….

February 18th

Well…sitting here waiting for the coffee to finish and thought I might as well do this one….had a pretty good day yesterday and had the top down on the car out and back to Ada for pool and that was a little fun…and it is already 50 degrees outside right now so I can get out on the bike any time and go in shorts…I had a moment of clarity yesterday and wonder how that will play out today…oh, and I won at pool….have had the Cars music running through my head for the past few days and last night I went out to youtube to see them live for the first time…pretty good band…the ones I saw had them playing in a club in London with only about 50 people in the audience….my back is better this morning but I need to take something right now so it will help on the bike….not going to do a lot today….just ride the bike and watch some soccer…after coffee, that it…more later…
