January 16th

Well…it was a day yesterday and I had a little fun going out to hang with G for a couple and watching the Wings scrimmage on tv….and T is back in town so things are right again…I did sleep okay even without the Melatonin last night so I may try to go without it and just see how it will be…I was up at 5:30, though, so there may be a nap in the future since I didn’t get to sleep until about 1 or so…and Man U plays this aft to stay in the FA cup so that will be something to do…there was a weird smell coming from the car when I got home last night so I do need to check that out today…it could have been from another car…at least I hope it was…I guess I’ll find out this morning…not much to do today…I do need to get the summer clothes put away finally and get out some of the warmer stuff since there is a big cold spell coming later in the week….more later….

January 15th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but didn’t accomplish much…and I was good last night so today is starting out better already…it looks like it is cold outside so it will be a warm up day for the car…and I am running out of dimes so it looks like I may have to start using my debit card to buy the papers which I just don’t want to do…don’t want to go to nickles…60 nickles? Nope…not going to do that….but I’m not spending any other money so I could probably afford 3 bucks on the card a day….and I don’t want to give up the last thing that makes my life have a semblance of normalcy…not much to do today…I do need to get back into the fitness routine and get some cleaning done…and get rid of the papers, again…but that is about it…I will be back later for another one if I can get my brain working better…

January 14th

Well…it was a bore of a day yesterday but Man U won so that was okay…and I am running late today just like a weekend day and the reason is that it was a cocktail night and I just haven’t been feeling it yet today…I did sleep okay but no dreams but who cares? I do feel a little crappy today and might even skip the workout this morning and just watch a movie….other than that, not much to do today…the car was an ice block this morning and it was a pain to get the door open but that thawed so it’s okay…I will be back later for a political one or something else…

Okay…starting to get off the mark and feel better but I’m still not motivated for some strange reason…well..the reason is clear to me but I don’t want to whine about it here so I won’t…I am going to do a political one right now so wait a couple of minutes and it will be done….

January 13th

Well…it was a day yesterday that really didn’t have anything memorable in it…I’m even having a hard time remembering what I had to eat…so, is it my memory or is it that the days are still running together? Who knows? I am watching the Man U match right now and they are up 1-0 over Liverpool which is unusual for this year…they are normally playing from behind this year so this is a pleasant surprise…not much to do today…it looks like a soccer day and continuing to clean the kitchen that I started on yesterday and watching for the freezing rain that is supposed to happen later….wow….that just reminded me of “Dark Side of the Moon”…the same phrase was used in “Time”…how lame is that? For me, that is…not the song…

Okay…I know I’m lazy today…

Well…just sitting here waiting for cocktail time to come and thought I’d sit down here for a few minutes and try to be lucid…as you know, that’s been a little difficult for me lately and I think it’s being so broke…but, I’m going to try to not let that affect me as much…I have been easily distracted today with having HBO and Cinemax free previews going on all weekend so I haven’t gotten much done…didn’t even take the car out for a ride since I need the gas to warm it up if the weather gets as nasty as it’s supposed to and after taking it out yesterday, the point was kind of moot….I do like the car better with the top down, though….okay…this day just seems to be a total waste so I guess I’ll just give into it and look forward to Man U in the morning…

January 12th

Well…I had a somewhat fun day yesterday and I want the fun to continue today…I did have the top down coming back from Meijers so that’s a good start…I could live with this weather all winter but the depression is coming back with it getting cold again starting tomorrow…I am going to get out on the bike in shorts today and I have to remember that it is not summer and to enjoy the ride, not just endure it as happens sometimes in the summer…..but, right now, the coffee is done and I do want to read the papers and watch the rest of the match…more later…

Just an update…

Well…as I said earlier, I am considering a change to the subject of the posts here but I am such a political junkie that, realistically, politics will always be a subject here. But, I think I am going to give myself a break from the requirement of having to do a topical one every day…so, I did want to do just a short one on the day I’ve had so far…it was really cool to hear from T this morning and that she did get through her interview….and I did get out on the bike today with the legs feeling supercharged after having three weeks off…I’ll probably do 30 miles tomorrow since the weather is going to go downhill after then….I did get out for a drive with the top down, too, and it was not too bad…not cold at all with the heater on…even took some photos to post to the MOMM site…okay…not feeling it right now…I’ll try to come back for another one later….

January 11th

Well..it was another day yesterday and I won at pool so that was good but it was just a little too cold to put the top down…but today is different…I am going out on the bike in shorts in a few minutes and then taking a cruise in the car with the top down later in the day…and it looks like tomorrow will be warm enough to go out again…yay….I do need to get some stuff done around here today but that is going to take a back seat to having some fun…and I do need to acknowledge that I am running late today and the reason is that I have been doing some thinking about a format change here…I have been harping on the political stuff for too long and I just might shift over to some philosophical musings for a while…after all, that is why I started doing this in the first place…more later…

January 10th

Well…sitting here waiting for the dish to complete a scan that I have never seen before and i have no faith that it will work after it’s done….kind of par for the course with me lately and even that is starting to get old…it was an okay day yesterday and I did take the bike out but only got about a mile before the ice and snow on the trial got too deep…I’m hoping that the warm rain on Friday will melt it enough so I can get a whole ride in…I do need the exercise…it looks like tomorrow will be a top down day and I am looking forward to it….slept okay last night but I think the melatonin is starting to not work too well…damn….but, I guess I’ll live through it….I so need to make a grocery run today and it will be nice to have some different food to eat for a change….other than that, not much to do today….I am still working on getting the kitchen cleaned but still looking for the motivation to do it….maybe today…more later…

January 9th

Well…another day of hibernation here and guess what? I’m still broke….I did sleep okay last night and I think the being good is a good thing with how I feel this morning…I will be able to pay the phone bill today (only one day late) with an emergency deposit into the account….I may even be able to get out on the bike today since it is already 40 degrees and that is plenty warm in full therma suit…just hope the trails have melted enough…and it does look like I will be putting the top down on the car Friday and Saturday with it getting to be around 50…and I do need to take pictures to post on the MOMM site….not much to do today….I do have to do kitchen surfaces and a few other things around here but that is about it…more later….

Okay…waiting for the coffee to finish and thought I’d come back here for a minute…it is already pretty nice outside and I really like these kinds of winters where is there is very little snow…I know, it’s only the first week of Jan but every day without a snowstorm is one day closer to spring…a weird thought for someone used to Michigan winters but I just don’t need another reason to be depressed…there are too may already….more later…again…
