Well…am  going to be talking about this for the next couple of days….it looks like I may be retired but I’m not sure yet…still think I have something to offer to an employer out there and I am going to continue to look for work that would make me smile….but, what a relief to have money coming in that I can live on until then….was completely out of food other than the last container of ham soup that I thawed out yesterday and spent 76 bucks for groceries this morning….and then 20 bucks for gas since the car was empty…and I owed C some cash so I’m already 300 bucks down…but that leaves me 700 for the month and I think I can live on that….just have to not go crazy this month…..going to make a home made pizza for lunch today and I can’t wait….more later….

Well….up at 5:07 again today and I’m sure I know what it is….way too much stress lately….but, that is over…checked my bank this morning and the first SS payment is there so it is retirement day…and food day…and gas in the car day….and the stress is gone…even did a little happy dance when I saw that the money is there…didn’t do much yesterday but today will be different…I am going to cook today…making a home made pizza for lunch and then Man U plays at 3 so I will have something to do this aft…and maybe drinks with K to celebrate….I did do some cleaning yesterday to take my mind off of everything…I should dust and remove the cobwebs and I just might….more later….

Well….It has not been a good day for me today with the uncertainty of my first SS payment being made on time tomorrow….I just know there is going to be a glitch and I am going to be scrambling again to just survive….I did make a little cash yesterday so I can pay the electric bill next Tuesday but there will be no food until I figure out the glitch and get it fixed…okay, that’s not true… I do have 11 dollars for food but only have 11 days to get things fixed so I can pay my rent on the 1st…. and didn’t sleep at all last night and tonight appears to be the same….oh, well….I guess I’ll take it as it comes…

Well…running really early today since I’ve been up since 5 or so….still worried about the  cash ending up in my account tomorrow….not sure what I’ll do if it doesn’t….slept okay last night and woke up with a sore right shoulder so I must have slept on it….didn’t get much done yesterday but have a nice HH with T….always fun to hang out with her…lots of laughs and good conversation….but then back here and did nothing for the rest of the day….the Lions did win last night so that was cool but I didn’t get through the game…just not interested enough to stay up til 12:30….not much to do today….might just clean some today but it looks like it’s going to rain so I may take the day off the bike….more later…..

Well….feel really crappy today and I’m not sure why…okay, I am sure why but I’m not sure about the severity….didn’t do anything out of the ordinary so I guess I’ll just have to live with it….I am getting a little nervous about my SS payment that is supposed to be Wed….if it doesn’t happen, I’m not going to be able to eat…or do anything else….the car is out of gas and I need to get out to have lunch with T today….hmmm….had an okay day yesterday but didn’t do much….today will probably be the same but I do need to work out and ride the bike…..more later…..

Well…had a nice day yesterday with hanging out with the guys but it took a lot out of me…and I am feeling it today…and it was a 70 mile round trip out and back…it did charge the battery in the car so that was cool….but I am down to 3 dollars in my pocket until wed and that is not cool….and the past month with no cash has been a trial…I really am hoping that the money will be there wed since I don’t know what I’ll do if there is a screw up….the F1 race is on in a few minutes and it looks like a wet one so that should be interesting….I do need to get out on the bike right after the race since Man U plays at 11….and it is against Everton with Wayne Rooney coming back to Old Trafford after being traded…but I need more coffee first….more later….

Well…running really early today and the weird thing is I’m waiting for the sun to come up to get on the bike…need to get it in early so I can watch F1 qualifying at 9….and there should be soccer on, too…haven’t looked at that yet…Man U isn’t playing until tomorrow…didn’t get anything done yesterday…that’s not right…I did get the car cleaned and I am wondering if it will start….probably not but I can deal with that….feel a little crappy this morning and I hope the coffee will help with that…I am going out to hang out with the group for  the first time in a long time and I wonder how that will go….it will be a nice ride anyway and I have to remember to put some sunscreen on and get my Michigan gear ready….more later….

Well…..it didn’t start this morning…so I guess the battery will need to be replaced in the near future….I’ll have to put the starter box in the trunk until next week….I wonder if I still have the receipt in the junk drawer? I did get the car washed and waxed this morning so I guess that is something….more later….

A bit of good news…I found the receipt for the battery and it is only 17 months old…and it has a 36 month free replacement guarantee…so, if it is bad…I’ll get another one for free….yay….I’ll see after the long run out to Spring Lake tomorrow if it is the battery…..still think it’s from not driving it…but, if you run this type of battery dead, it essentially destroys them….

Well…feeling a little slow this morning and I guess I earned it….but, I did sleep better last night so maybe that’s a good trade off….it was an okay day yesterday and I did get the bathroom cleaned so that was better than nothing…and I am going to clean the car today after I get more coffee in me….okay…need to go out and see if I can find…nope…the Cassini death is on now…..so I’m going to watch that…be back later for more…

Well…that was poignant moment when the signal from Cassini ended….will do another one on that later today….but, right now I need more coffee and to get going and wash the car…sure hope it starts…more later…

Well…with the fog this morning, I hustled to get out on the bike early to be out in it since it just looks cool….but there is one really cool thing about fog….it makes invisible things visible…normally, you never see the spider webs that are in the weeds along the trail but this morning, the droplets in the fog made the hundreds of them visible…and some of them were really cool…just the perfect designs that I marvel at….one thing that happened made me laugh out loud with it’s absurdity….when I was heading across the bridge that leads into the woods, I noticed a couple of deer at full speed off to my left that were going to cross in front of me…the first one made it, flying in one leap across the trail and into the woods…but the second one saw me just as it was getting to the trail and put on the brakes…or tried to put on the brakes…it looked just like a cartoon with the deer backpedaling furiously but with it’s momentum carrying it across the trail until it hit the other side and then took off running…and the only thing that went through my head as I laughed was the deer thinking “I meant to do that”….just too cool….
