A better day…

Well….the day didn’t start out too well but it has gotten better…I did get under the car and couldn’t find what is making the noise so I’m not sure how to go forward on that….darn….but, I did get out on the bike in shorts and no gloves and this one just has to be the last day like that….and I got the headlight bulb changed out with it being so nice outside…it is almost 60 right now and I knew I had to take advantage of that…I did just notice that I have the front tires rotating the wrong way and never noticed it all summer…oh, well…putting the snowies on in the next week or so so that won’t matter….I wonder how I didn’t look at the rotation arrow when I put them on in the spring? It looks like I may not make the goal this month since I would have to do 7 tomorrow and that is not going to happen…I have an excuse so I don’t feel too bad about it….

November 29th

Well…running late again today…just can’t get started…again…and I’m not sure what that is about…..can’t even think too well today and that could be a problem….maybe it’s not having coffee until now…this whole news blackout thing is still screwing up my mornings…I would normally get the papers and have my coffee by 7:30 but without the papers…I just don’t get going….didn’t even get out on the bike yesterday and I don’t feel bad about it…and that is the problem…I think my guilt system is out of whack…and that usually keeps things in check…oh, well…..not much to do today…haven’t said that in a while…I do have to work on the car here in a few but that is about it….more later…

Wasted days and wasted nights…

Well…yep, stole that one from an old country song but it is such a good descriptor of my day today that I just had to use it…was paralyzed all day today an just couldn’t get moving at all and I have leftover cocktail material to use tonight so it will be a waste, too…not sure what is going on but I am sure I don’t like it….still haven’t even looked at the car to see what is wrong with it and really don’t care…well…that’s not true….but, whatever it is is going to cost money that I don’t want to spend right now….a conundrum to be sure but tomorrow will be another day and warmer so I will get under it and take a look….not sure if I can survive another day like today…yeah…there is some hyperbole in that but the guilts from this one are killer….

November 28th

Well…finding it almost impossible to get started this morning…I think part of it is how gloomy it’s been lately…can’t remember the last time I saw the sun and that doesn’t help my mood any….I did get a bike ride in yesterday but that was just about it…and today looks the same with it raining already so I probably won’t get on the bike today….I am going to try to clean some but not for a while…Man U stunk up the place yesterday and that didn’t help and there was really not too much else to watch….I don’t hurt today so I guess I should be thankful for that….I do need more coffee so I think I’ll do that right now and just veg for a while….more later….

November 27th

Well…another disappointing day yesterday with Michigan losing in OT and all the rest of the things that are happening….started coughing again and I wonder if it’s still that bug I had last weekend….I did get a bike ride in yesterday and it was a pretty good one…and I am going to have to go out early today with Man U playing at 11:30 so I think I may have to double glove it with my hands freezing like crazy….but, my back doesn’t hurt today so maybe I’m past that….someone won the 400 million in the powerball last night so that can keep my hopes up for another day or so…..okay, need to get the coffee and hit the couch for the last race of the year…more later….

November 26th

Well….note sure if I like these after holiday days…they seem to be a license to be lazy and just veg….oh.well….don’t really have a lot to do anyway so maybe I can get past the guilt today…didn’t shoot pool yesterday since Tom is still sick and I think I still have a little bit of the bug with coughing all morning but I still feel okay…didn’t get out on the bike yesterday with it raining most of the day and I just couldn’t muster up the energy to get out in the cold….might be able to get out today after F1 qualifying but it will have to be right after since I want to watch Michigan/Ohio State at noon…..might even get the gear on for that one…..I do have to get under the car to see what is going on but I took it out this morning and it’s not as bad as it had ballooned in my mind so there really is no sense of urgency…..next week will be fine….need coffee and the couch right now so I’ll end here…more later….

November 25th

Well…it was a slow, relaxing day yesterday and didn’t do anything but cook and watch sports…the turkey came out great again but I’m not sure I’m going to do one next year…just can’t see the point anymore….there was good sports news with the Lions and Man U winning and the Lions doing it on the last play of the game again…it would be nice if they would win big for once….I did get a bike ride in in shorts yesterday but today will be half thermasuit if I go out at all…it’s raining right now so I’m not sure if I’ll get the chance….not too sore today and I feel okay so it might be a good one to get out…just not too motivated right now so I think I’ll get more coffee and watch F1 practice…more later…

November 24th

Well…damn, broke something under the car yesterday when I went out to meet K for a couple….sounds like a pipe hanger or a motor mount since something bangs when I start it….oh, well…car still drives fine so I’m not going to worry about it today…had a nice lunch with T yesterday that lasted quite a while and had a lot of laughs in it…but didn’t do anything else all day until I met up with K….and today is going to be just cooking and watching football…I did go out and get the 10 pound newspaper that was a waste of time and money…..never going to read one again….didn’t win the powerball last night so Saturday’s will be over 400 million….I need to win it….more later….

November 23rd

Well…running a little late today with getting the turkey in the brine a few minutes ago….used rosemary, thyme, sage, garlic, brown sugar and some veggie broth this year just for a little change….haven’t used sage before but it smelled so good that I had to add it….we’ll see tomorrow….feel quite a bit better today but I was recovering yesterday enough to get out on the bike…it was a chore and my lungs felt like they were at half capacity but had lots of energy when I got back….and I slept well last night….all of the covers were still on the bed and I don’t remember tossing too much so it must have been a good night…..I did get out and got everything I needed for t-day so I don’t have to do anything else but just cook tomorrow…I do have lunch with T today and I will be making some cash so that will start the weekend on a high note….but I am going to take it easy this morning and just have my coffee…oh, and work out but coffee first…more later….

November 22nd

Well…this damn bug is confusing me…I thought it was the flu but started feeling better after 3 days and today I feel okay…even got out already to get the rest of the stuff I need for t-day…just a little cough and sweating so I hope I continue to feel better…even feel good enough that I am going to dig out the thermasuit and get out on the bike today…going to have lunch with T tomorrow and I am looking forward to that…and I am going to make some cash, too, so that makes it even better….I didn’t get to t-day in shorts since I put jeans on this morning with it being 21 degrees and having this bug…and I knew I needed to put fuel in the car and that wouldn’t have been good….one good thing is that my back pain is gone and I wonder if it had something to do with the bug….maybe I was sick last week and just didn’t recognize it…I do need to clean out my freezer today to make room for the turkey carcass and get all of the dishes cleaned for Thursday…one of my storage containers has disappeared and I can’t figure out where it went…oh, well….more later…
