February 6th

Well…it was a long, long day yesterday and I am feeling it right now…it started out with pool with Tom at 2:30 and I didn’t get back here after drinks with G until after 7….then cocktails here and that was just not a good idea….went to bed early since I can’t take the pace anymore…slept okay but still feel like crap today so, after the errand I have to run later, I will be doing a total veg today….I think I’ll start that right now with watching some EPL soccer and finishing my coffee….not much to do today…going to just lick the wounds for now but I may take a bike ride later…have to look at the trails to see how they are when I get out later…..more later…

February 5th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday…I wonder if I should change that up? It was a non descript day yesterday…just like the rest of them….nope…don’t like that….slept okay last night but the Wings lost again so that was not cool….I am still sore everywhere but the good thing is that the ibuprofen works to help that and I only needed to take one so I guess I shouldn’t complain too much…it is annoying, though, and for the first time I am starting to think I’m old…and maybe that’s how I’m going to feel from now on….didn’t get a thing done yesterday and today looks the same with a pretty busy schedule of errands, pool, and then out after pool…I’m going to need a rest tonight for sure…..and then tomorrow I have more to do but I can use the cash…..not much to do today….that’s not true…I will be running starting at 10 and going the rest of the day….it is going to feel good getting home tonight….more later….

Februaruy 4th

Well….it was an okay day yesterday but I spent the day sore and coughing…and now my tooth has even gotten back in the act and it hasn’t hurt in months….even my neck and shoulders are sore so now I’m hoping it’s not the flu…it could be getting back on the bike but I feel pretty crappy this morning so that can’t be it…and I was good for the past three days so that shouldn’t be it either….slept what is normal for me which is crappy and I am just exhausted this morning…I did get the grocery run done this morning but forgot a bunch of stuff so I may have to go back sat morning….and I have been skipping that the past few weeks and would like that to continue….all I know is that I feel like there is something coming on so I guess I’ll take some ibuprofen this morning and see if that helps…not much to do today…going to lay low and see how I feel but that is about it…more later….

February 3rd

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I got a few things done…had a really nice lunch with T that still has me smiling…it is nice to have a conversation that doesn’t have any land mines in it…slept okay and feel okay today since I was good last night…and the car didn’t leak a bit even with all the rain last night…must have been an inch of rain and I can’t wait to see the flooding out on the bike ride that I am going to take today…..it’s warm enough to go out by 9 so that is my plan so far…do need to work out first to keep up the fitness plan and not feel like a slug….I am going to listen to SD for the first time since I heard Donald got arrested and I’m not sure how long that is going to last….not much to do today….pool, maybe, but that is about it…..should do some cleaning but I’d rather ride the bike….more later….

February 2nd

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I made some cash so that was cool….and I got back on the bike for a nice ride but that has left me sore since I haven’t been on it since around Christmas….slept crappy last night and feel a little worn out today but I think that will pass after the coffee…my back is hurting again but not too bad so I can live with it…I may try an experiment later by taking some ibuprofen to see if it might help….the worst pain on the ride was in my wrists that cramped like crazy from about 4 miles out and that continues today….oh, well…did get out to have a couple with G last night and it was not terrible but it was supposed to be a beer free day and I do need the 4 days a week with being good….I am hoping to get out on the bike again this morning after it gets warm enough to melt the ice…it’s supposed to rain like crazy today so I may not be able to get out…not much to do today….have a lunch with T…maybe…and then I have to do a recap on Iowa, so come back later to take a look….more later….

One last thing…happy birthday to Graham Nash who turns 74 today…

Back on the bike…

Well…was trying to think of a political one to do today but until the caucases are over today, there really isn’t much news…but, I did get back on the bike today and got a good 12 miles in with only about 50 yards of walking over the ice….and that Ice may be gone tomorrow with all of the rain we are supposed to get…but, more cold and snow later in the week will probably take me off it again…I am sore everywhere but it is a good sore…and I don’t feel guilty about eating lunch….more later….

February 1st

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I made some cash so that was cool….slept pretty crappy…again…so I feel a little worn out today….didn’t get anything done so there will be things that I need to do today….still coughing like crazy but I am hoping that it will get better today…not sure if it’s allergies, too, since the antihistamine I took last night helped to get rid of the sneezing and congestion….I am thinking that the pain in my back is actually my hip and that is not good…don’t want any new pains that I haven’t dealt with before…and if it’s degenerative, I’m not sure I can wait two years to have it looked at….okay…enough of that…..one weird thing came up yesterday…I just can’t seem to get the seat in the car adjusted to my satisfaction…just irritates the heck out of me….might have to do with wearing a winter coat…not much to do today….just going to try to feel better and maybe clean the kitchen but I’m not sure about that…more later….

Some noodling…

Well…since I have two more of these to do today, I thought I’d just noodle around and cover some small tidbits…one of our guys, Dylan Larkin from the Wings won the fastest skater at the all star game yesterday…beating a record that had stood for 20 years and it was pretty cool to see…that makes him the fastest skater in the league…or of the ones there anyway….have been watching the race since yesterday and it has been pretty good…and the first two cars are within one second after 21 hours so that is cool…might turn into a shootout for the last three which might keep me interested….Man U won their FA cup match yesterday but looked like they have all year…no energy or excitement…I have been hoping for a while now that they would replace Van Gaal as the manager and it looks like that may be coming if they lose their next match this week…the Iowa caucases are this week and I am really glad they are going to be over soon…after all, the 120,000 people who will vote on each side could set the nominees and I don’t think that’s right…just because they are first? Okay…that’s enough for this one…I will be back to do another one later….

January 31st

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get much done….slept okay last night but the bug is still here and that is starting to get annoying…have been coughing again like a two pack a day smoker and can’t figure that out…my back is hurting again and I’m starting to wonder if it’s my hip instead of my back…hope not…the backĀ  can deal with but if it’s my hip, I’m not sure what to do…haven’t been taking any pain killers so maybe that’s the next step…I should get to the kitchen today but I’m not sure if I will….I do need to do laundry but that will only take a few minutes…the race has been a good boredom killer for the past day but I need to do something else…Everton plays inĀ  a few minutes so that will be good to change over to…not much to do today…I do have to do two more of these today but that will be about it….more later…

January 30th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I even got a little done…slept last night and I think I’m making up for the few days this week that I didn’t…didn’t get up until 7:30 this morning and that is an hour and a half later than normal….did have some dreams that had free beer in them so that was cool, too….still have the bug, though and spent the night last night coughing like crazy…and that has continued this morning so I guess I’ll need to take it easy today to try to heal some…my back hurt yesterday, too, and I’m not sure why that would be…it felt healed earlier in the week and I’m sure I didn’t do anything to stress it…oh, well….I did get to watch the new James Bond movie last night and I’m not sure what to think of it….it was really long at 2 1/2 hours but kept me interested throughout it so I guess I’ll have to say that I liked it….not much to do today…I am going to clean the kitchen and watch races but that is about it..oh, and the FA cup, too….so that means I’ll have soccer for the day…..more later…
