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….

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….

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…

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….

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….

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…

Well….haven’t been on the bike in three days…just can’t take the cold right now but I think I’ll try tomorrow….have been feeling crappy enough that I just want to rest….I am waiting for the coughing to start from this bug…not bad yet but I know it’s coming….and I have been out of the world now for two weeks…and it just dawned on me that this is the longest time since I was five that I haven’t read a newspaper….but, it’s already saved me 52 bucks so I guess I can live with it…I am going to really try to get back to topics that mean something in the next few days…at least I hope so…

Well…it keeps getting worse and I feel pretty crappy this morning….and the thing I don’t understand is that I’m never around people anymore so how do I continue to get these bugs? I wonder if my immune system is compromised by not being around people and being exposed to the bugs? All I know is that I’m going back to the couch and having more water…need to rest….more later…

Well…earlier, I couldn’t figure out why I hurt again…now I know…have been going down hill all day in how I feel…now I am exhausted and hot and feel pretty crappy….so, it sounds like flu to me…..ick….

Well…it was a busy day yesterday and I made some cash so that was cool…I think I have enough cash in the drawer now to get through December and that takes a load off…I now know that my morning back pain must be caused by how I’m sleeping…the pain was gone yesterday and now it’s back this morning…and I skipped the bike ride yesterday so it can’t be that…and it looks like I’m going to skip again today with it being cold and really windy and I’m just not ready for that yet…I will try to find the entire thermasuit today, though, so I can get out tomorrow…..was in the car for three hours yesterday and that is tiring but today looks like just sports and vegging…I do need to clean the kitchen to get ready for thurs and that sounds like all I’ll do today….more later…
