February 4th

Well…running a little late today with having to do a grocery run to get some things I forgot and then making a marinade for some pork chops I thawed over the past few days…and, I got some ribs for only 1.49 a pound but I’m not sure when I am going to make them….had a pretty good day yesterday and slept okay last night…something weird about the day that I really can’t put my finger on…but I won at pool so that was cool….and, I’m not really sore anywhere so I am just going to enjoy that for now…it was only 5 degrees when I went out this morning so that is about the coldest it’s been this winter so far…but it’s clear so we will see some sun in a little while an that will be a good thing…it has been way too gloomy lately…I am going to try to clean my bathroom today but that will be about it…think I’ll just kind of veg it out and watch some soccer….more later….

February 3rd

Well….it is just too damn cold out there right now…had gotten used to it being kind of mild and now shifting back to normal for Michigan in feb is kind of brutal…it even feels cold in here and I have the temp set at 75….made a little cash yesterday so that was cool…so at least I don’t have that to think about…didn’t do anything else yesterday and today will probably be the same…think I’ll let cleaning go until tomorrow….slept on my right shoulder last night and it hurts like crazy from it….will probably need to take something for it later if it doesn’t get better….but, my back is better so I guess that evens out…I should get out for more allergy stuff today since I am running really low and my allergies are really bad right now…more later…

February 2nd

Well…running really late today with getting up a little late and then having to do the grocery run….it’s kind of a pain to not be able to do my normal routine in the morning and I feel like something is off from it….I did make some cash yesterday and got to see T for happy hour and that was a lot of fun…nice to have cash for the next month in the drawer…..and I am going to make a little more this morning….slept okay last night but I am having some problems with the earplugs hurting my right ear so that is a little troubling since I do need to use them….might just have to use another pair….don’t have a lot to do today after I run my errand this morning…I should clean but might wait until the weekend…I am going to make tacos for lunch and I bought some avocados to make guac and chop some to put on the tacos….just sounds good…more later….

This is weird…

Well…nothing about politics right now just a weird thing that happened to me as I was running errands this morning…was out on the e-way and “Country Girl” by Neil Young came on and it immediately flashed me back to listening to the same song at this time of the year in my 1965 Ford Galaxie back in 1971….flying along the e-way just like this morning…and if you remember the heaters in Fords of the period, itwas much like the marginal one in the Miata and you always had to dress for the winter, even inside the car….kind of a weird flashback but it did make me smile….

February 1st

Well…it was a good day yesterday and I got to hang out with my youngest son forĀ  a while and catch up….and I made a little cash so that was cool, too….the allergies are really bad this morning and I think I’ll have to go out and get more allergy stuff today or tomorrow….just feel worn out again this morning and I think it’s the combo of the allergies, not eating enough, and bad sleep…..so today will be a veg day while I try to rectify all of that…other than lunch with T, that is…..the coffee needs to start working pretty soon or I’m going to take a nap….not going to do a lot today feeling like I do…hope it’s not a bug…more later….

January 31st

Well….they finally came to clean the dryer yesterday so that makes my life a lot easier today…..and they fixed the broken vent pipe so it shouldn’t fill the place up with moisture when I run it…might have to test that out today…slept okay last night but feel sore again today but I think it’s working out as the morning goes on…..looks like I won’t be on the bike in the near future with all the snow so it’s back to calorie restriction for me for now….have been doing okay lately with that so it will probably be no big deal……they are clearing the lots here now but I refuse to clean my car and move it this early….just too darn cold and I haven’t had any coffee yet….maybe later….don’t have a lot to do today but clean the bathroom so it looks like an easy one…more later….

January 30th

Well…another wasted day yesterday and I didn’t get anything done….and today looks the same as I wait for the maint guys to come and work on the dryer….what a pain….and I feel a little crappy this morning with that damn low level bug I’ve had for a while now…my lungs are kind of clogged up and I am coughing some…oh, well….at least my back doesn’t hurt so I guess that’s something….didn’t get on the bike yesterday and I don’t think I will today, either….just don’t want to be cold right now and it looks like the rest of the week is going to keep me off with the snow….not going to do a whole lot today…should clean some but I feel the need to ease into the day and have more coffee…. so I will…more later….

Thanks everybody…

Well…after having my son here yesterday and going through all the stats for this place, I just wanted to say thanks to all of the people that come here to read my stuff every day. Over the past month, I have had over 1500 discrete IP addresses access this site and I was a little surprised with the self-imposed two month news blackout and the resulting lack of topical posts. You’ll be seeing some changes to the site over the next month or so with my son working on putting a few ads on to try to pay some of my bills and make me an actual paid writer for the first time in my life…I hope they are not too annoying and you guys keep coming back…and, if I’m getting paid, I will have to do a better job here posting lucid comments that mean something….thanks again…

January 29th

Well…woke up again feeling a little off today and I think it’s from not eating enough yesterday…only had the steak for lunch…well, a half steak and then just didn’t feel like eating more…so I’ll have to do better today….just have no energy this morning and I think I’ll just take it easy today and watch the race and some soccer with Man U playing at 11….couldn’t get the old roku working on the new tv so I just put the antenna on it….probably won’t watch it too much but I may when I work out….okay…almost forgot to go out to get a paper…the days just run together and I forgot it’s Sunday….not too much to do today other than I have to run out to mail some bills later but that is about it…more later….

A nice visit….

Well….just had a nice visit from one of my sons and I am still smiling from it…lots of laughs and talk and he brought me an extra 37 inch tv for my bedroom…and it’s a 1080P flatscreen which is nicer than the 42 I have in the living room….so now I have a spare if mine quits. He is also going to get me a new laptop from the school where he works since they have almost new ones that were purchased by some kind of a grant so they can’t be resold…just discarded and they normally just end up being recycled….so that will be cool since I have worn the letters off the keys of this one….oh, he has also started to put ads on my site so I can make a little money for doing this every day…had 1500 individual visits to the site this month…..much more than I expected…pretty cool….
