A wasted day…

Well…it has been a wasted day today…have felt exhausted and crappy most of the day and I still feel that way…and, I took a hacksaw to my thumb yesterday taking the old chain off my bike since the connecting link wouldn’t come loose…and to top that off, I couldn’t get on the bike today since the rear sprockets are too worn and I am waiting for the new ones to come….so, I am grumpy today without exercise and feeling crappy…and I’m not sure if I’m looking forward to the debate tonight…or even the Wings game that is on in  awhile…I probably should have gotten cocktail materials for the night tonight but I know I need to be good to keep my liver from exploding…so, I guess I’ll just take some ibuprofen for the pain and just settle in for the night…I’m bored….

October 13th

Well…it was a long, busy day yesterday with lots of running around…made a little cash so that was cool, though…but, I had a chain fail on the bike and after getting a new one, the same thing happened as last time…it showed me that the rear gears are worn out again so the bike will be down for a few days while I wait for the new ones to come….only 16 bucks this time so that was cool…slept okay last night and was good so I feel okay this morning with some energy so I may have to get  some stuff done around here since I can’t ride….I do need to work on some stuff around here and clean the bathroom and kitchen but I’m not sure which I’ll get done…and the Wings play tonight along with the dem debate so I will be working the remote again today…not much to do today…cleaning and reading some stuff the my daughter sent me to look at…more later….

October 12th

Well…it was a long day yesterday and I got through it feeling pretty crappy…didn’t get anything done but cooking but I feel good that I even got through that…woke up with the chills this morning and I’m sure that is the bug…and my lungs feel like they are full of something so today will be a low key day…I still plan on getting on the bike in a while since it is warm enough out there already and I don’t want to miss the last few good days that we have….slept okay last night but even with it 75 in here I was under the comforter….so I guess I have an excuse for taking it easy today….I am down to about a hundred miles left to get to 25K so that may happen later in the week….not much to do today…I think I’ll just do the normal stuff to try to burn the virus out and if that doesn’t work, I’ll just take it easy and rest…I will come back for a couple more of these today since I am behind…more later…

October 11th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but busy with going out to meet up with C and then out with K….and I think I’ve got a bug since I am sweating like crazy and coughing and feel like crap….so today looks like an easy one….I may even take the day off the bike….okay…not feeling this right now so I’ll come back later and try again….

Okay…I’m back for a few minutes anyway…I’m sure it’s a bug now since I am warm and coughing like crazy…I did get out on the bike and took a long ride but that didn’t help much….just exhausted and need to go back to the couch for a while…just getting up to do this has taken all my energy…so, there wan’t be much accomplished today…should do the bathroom but that’s just not going to happen….maybe more later….

 

October 10th

Well…it was a long day yesterday and I am feeling it today…had lunch with T and then out to pool…which I lost…and then back here for the Wings and cocktails…today should be easier…slept okay last night but I had to get going early so I can watch F1 qualifying that is going on right now…need more coffee….I did forget to come back here for another one so I do need to do a Red Wings one later today…I usually do one of those to start the season but I just was so worn out yesterday that I couldn’t think…didn’t get anything else done yesterday and today looks much the same with C coming into town and going out to watch the first half of the Michigan game….have to try to find my Michigan gear to wear….it looks like a huge sports day again with Michigan, State, and races going on today…there isn’t any soccer with the international break this week so that will make it a little easier…I do need to get back to F1 so I’ll do that now…more later…

October 9th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I did get a few things done,,,washed and waxed the car but then it rained…hope there was not enough time to get dust on it and leave it spotted….the car started a little slow this morning and I just figured it out…had the doors open and used the compressor to air up the tires and the last time I did that the battery went dead…I do have my new booster so I don’t have to worry about that any more….slept okay last night but feel a little slow this morning since I was not good last night…but, it was the first time since Sat so I feel good about that…today is the first day of the Wings season and I am ready for that…have the chips and dip ready and I am getting excited with all of the changes that have happened this year…but, I am going to do one on that later today….going to have lunch with T today and I am excited about that, too….looks like a full day today with pool..I think…too, so I need to get going and get on the bike right now…more later…

October 8th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get much done…didn’t really have to so I guess I shouldn’t feel bad about that…running late today since the papers are really thick on Thursdays and I did do the grocery run….spent 32 bucks and didn’t get anything, really….will have to eat out of the freezer this weekend but that is okay…have plenty of stuff in there so I’ll replenish it next week….slept kind of crappy again but feel okay today…have been good since Saturday but I think that will end today…might have a cocktail or two tonight….I am getting excited with the Wings starting the season tomorrow and I have the traditional chips and dip for it…along with cocktails…I will have something to watch now that the season has started…might have to get caught up on my shows on plex today so they don’t build up…not much to do today…going to clean the car and the normal stuff but that is about it…more later….

October 7th

Well…running early this morning since I got up to see T on tv really early…so, I thought I’d come here and do this one while I wait for the papers to get to the store….it was an okay day yesterday but I had the computer fail on the bike so I had to go out and get a new one to keep track of the mileage I ride…not a lot of money but still a pain….that is number 3 in 8 years on the bike and I think they should last longer than that…slept pretty crappy last night but that is normal…have been coughing again and have had to take antihistamines to be able to breathe at all…not sure if it’s a cold or what but it is annoying….doing these before coffee is kind of weird…the brain is still not clear yet so I’m wandering around and not making the best of sense…not much to do today…going to do the car…maybe…but then just a little cleaning…..no cooking today..still on the leftover ham for the next few days so that is okay…more later…

October 6th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I got some more stuff done so that was cool…and I was good last night so I feel okay today and even have a little energy…I think the coffee is helping with that, though, so we’ll see how that works out later….not eve too sore today and I have relief in my elbow that I wasn’t expecting…weird…it is pretty cool that I will be able to get out on the bike in a t-shirt again today since it is already 57 outside and it looks like it will be this way til Friday….every day without snow is a bonus…I’m still working on getting the shifter to work right, though and it is getting annoying…going to soak it in penetrating oil before I go out today and see if that helps…and, I do need to get a squeak out of it again, too…not much to do today….after the past few days of work, I think I may take it easy today and just get some laundry and cleaning done…more later…

October 5th

Well…running late today since I didn’t get up until 7:30…and that puts everything back a little…slept okay last night but feel a little crappy this morning with the coughing and my head being plugged up….so, I think I’ll take it a little easy today after the workout and bike ride….I do have a bunch of stuff to do around here again today so there will be no rest until after noon…I did get a lot done yesterday but the 3 1/2 hours on my feet have left me a little sore today with using a bunch of new muscles…but, it was stuff that needed to be done so I guess it’s okay…the bike ride yesterday was better with less wind and wearing gloves but I discover the gloves have holes in them so I need to run out today and get a new pair…not much to do today…work around here and then taking it easy for the rest of the day….and then the Lions later but I’m not sure I want to see them lose again…more later….
