July 4th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get anything done….slept okay last night and had some dreams that I can’t make sense of…just bits and pieces of unrelated stuff….weird…..I did get a good bike ride in and it looks like a long one today since I’ll have to take a detour with the July 4th parade going on in Kentwood which runs along my route….they have the streets blocked off so I’ll have to add a couple of miles….don’t hurt anywhere so that won’t be too bad…don’t think I ate enough yesterday so the legs may be a little heavy today….finally got rid of the snacks that I was binging on…almost fell back into that bad habit but now that they are gone, it makes it easy to keep the calorie count under 1500….not much to do today…going to get the bike ride in and then just take it easy for the rest of the day…I do have some stuff to get done around here but that can wait if I don’t feel like doing it…more later….

July 3rd

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I got a few things done so that was cool…slept okay last night but I am still feeling a little under the weather with all the coughing and that is getting annoying….the ibuprofen worked on the bike yesterday and my hands were better….the ride was good one and I am not sore at all today….other than the little sunburn I got trying to even out the bike tan….I do need to get a few things done today but I’m not sure I will…there is a 6 hour sports car race that starts at 10 so I’ll have to get the bike ride in right after the F1 race…..and I do want to see Iceland play later today so I’ll have to get everything done before that….not much to do today…just going to veg out and see what happens…everyone is out of town so it will be another day of just hanging out…more later…..

July 2nd

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I made some cash so that was cool….slept okay last night but wasn’t good so I don’t feel that hot today….have been coughing again so the bug is still here and it has been a week so that is a little frustrating….not sore anywhere else but had massive cramps in my hands yesterday so I need to take some ibuprofen before I get on the bike….no pool this week so I didn’t win or lose….didn’t get anything else done yesterday so I will have to try to get moving some today….I do have some errands to run but I’m not sure if I’ll do them or not….just don’t have any motivation today….not much to do today…I am going to grill today but there will have to be a nap later…the wheezing in my lungs kept me up a lot last night so I’m pretty tired….more later….

July 1st

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I made a little cash so that was cool…slept okay last night and feel better than I should this morning but I’ll take it….have had some problems with my left foot the past few days with some pain in the bottom of it when I walk…not sure what the heck that is but I hope it’s not where the pain has decided to settle this year….I did put the top down on the car on the way out to get groceries today and it is still down since I have to make a run out in about an hour…..didn’t get much done yesterday but I did clean this place up for the repair guys so I don’t have a lot to do today…not much to do today…errands this morning and then just the normal stuff for the day….have to use up the leftovers so there won’t be any cooking today….more later….

June 30th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I got a few things done…had to wax the car to get the water spots off it that didn’t come off washing it the other day….and I had to clean a lot around here since the guys are coming to service the furnace today…and that made for a lot of work for me….slept okay last night and feel okay today but I scorched myself trying to even out the bike tan yesterday…can’t figure that out with only 25 minutes front and back but I was pretty white….I did make a nice lunch yesterday that I am going to do again today..steak, portobello mushroom cap, and corn…yummy….haven’t used the grill in a while but I think I will this weekend since I have burger to use….not much to do today…have to wait for the guys to come and then the normal stuff for the rest of the day….yeah…sounds boring to me, too….

June 29th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I got a few things done so that was cool….felt pretty good in the morning and had some energy back but that ended early in the aft…and I feel a little slow today but I have some things to do so I need to have more coffee…slept okay last night…finally….so that helps a little….no pain today so far but there will be ibuprofen before the bike ride since it helped me avoid the cramps in my hands yesterday….I did get the car washed again yesterday and the water spots came off but I need to do the glass again since there are streaks on the windshield that I just can’t stand….still coughing this morning so I guess that means the bug is still here and that is part of feeling slow today…hope it ends soon….not much to do today…need to get my hair cut this morning and then get some allergy tabs along with a stop at the bank to deposit a check I got a few weeks back….then, just a normal day…more later….

June 28th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get anything done….did get out to have a couple with G and that was not awful and it was fun having a top down run…slept okay last night but still feel a little down from the bug but it is getting better…not as much coughing so that is a good thing…a little sore today from riding yesterday so the ibuprofen will come out today before I get on the bike….they are tearing up the lot here and it is just a huge mess…had to park my car a few hundred yards away so I can get it out if I need to…do need to wash it again since it got watered yesterday and it is just one big spotted mess….might wait until tomorrow to do that, though….not much to do today…I did buy food this morning but I have leftovers that need to be used first…bought myself a couple of small steaks to grill later in the week along with some portobello mushroom caps that I have to marinade before the grill….more later…

June 27th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but the bug kept me laid low for the day and today looks much the same…still feel pretty crappy and the cough is still here so I don’t think I’ll be too ambitious today…I did talk to K yesterday and she said that her whole family had this bug last week so I don’t have to think about what it is…slept okay last night but I am so tired of feeling sweaty…I know I bitch about the cold in the spring but we could use a little relief right now…and I wish I felt good enough to go to the beach…maybe tomorrow….not sore anywhere today but that will change after I get out on the bike today..skipped yesterday and feel guilty about that…and I need to work out to start to burn the virus out…not much to do today…going to try to take it easy and watch more soccer after the bike ride but that is about it…just don’t have any energy….more later…

June 26th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get anything done…again….slept okay last night but I know I have a bug with my lungs being filled with crap and coughing like crazy…I knew there was something wrong yesterday since I felt weird and warm….oh, well….not sore today so that is something….but, I do have a sore throat, too…so today looks like a day to lay low especially with the rain that is coming in about an hour or so…have been wanting to take a day off the bike just for body maintenance so today looks like a good one…yeah…probably not…I’ll just wait for the rain to move through and then go later….not much to do today….should clean a little but feel so worn out that I probably won’t….just need more coffee but only had a cup and a half left in the maker…could make more, I guess…but it seems like too much work….more later….

June 25th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I lost at pool, finally, and that was okay, too….slept okay last night and don’t feel as bad as I should so I guess I’ll take it…no dreams to speak of and I am over the idea that it is disappointing…just normal, I guess….the cut on my finger has healed up some and doesn’t hurt anymore so I am going to let it stay in the air without a bandage and hope it doesn’t get infected….not sure if I like the new knife…my old Henkel is still a better one but I did need another one….not sore at all today so the bike ride will be a long one again…I do have to reset the pins in the rear shifter since they are working out again and the shifts are not right….should put the new one on one of these days but it just seems like too much work right now…not much to do today….I think I’ll just veg out and watch soccer…no motivation right now…more later….
