January 29th

Well…the first thing that popped into my head this morning was this Pink Floyd lyric..”the sun is the same in a relative way but we’re older….shorter of breath and one day closer to death…” yeah, it’s pretty depressing but that’s how I feel this morning…slept okay even so that can’t be it…I think it’s that another month has gone by without a bite on a job and with the money just going out it feel like tiny pieces of me keep going out with it…when the money runs out, I think I’ll probably just disappear into the ether…and leave no trace…I do have a few things I should do today but I’m not sure if I’ll do them or not…just don’t have a lot of interest in it at this point so I guess I’ll just let the day roll and see what happens….more later…

January 28th

Well…another crappy night of sleep and I am just exhausted this morning….up almost once an hour and that is not good at all…oh, well…it happened and it’s time to live with it…it was a lazy day yesterday that was dominated by waiting for the stormageddon that was forecast all day for last night but it doesn’t look like we got too much ice so that is good….don’t have anywhere to be anyway so I’m not sure why I care…I do have some things to do today but I’m not sure what they are yet…just can’t get the brain going yet and that’s even without cocktails last night….more later…and I mean it this time…

January 27th

Well…it was just another day yesterday but I did make some ham bone soup that came out good but that was about it…sitting here watching Chelsea losing to Brentford…which would be like the Tigers losing to a high school team…and I really don’t like Chelsea so that is pretty cool…I do feel a little crappy today but I know it’s a bug so I guess I’ll just have to live with it…okay…can’t think at all right now so I’m going to go back to the couch and have another cup of coffee…

January 26th

Well…it was a day yesterday with lunch with T and then over to K’s for a couple to hang out with C…then it was just back here for the Wings game…which they won, finally, and that made me smile a little….there was a weird thing that happened this morning…when I was out to get the papers “Mississippi Queen” by Mountain came on the overhead….and I just laughed out loud at the weirdness…I mean 3 minutes of the best rock and roll ever played, on the speakers at Family Fare? It brightened my morning even with it being a cocktail night last night….today looks like an easy day…I am making ham bone soup…well, it’s actually pork and ham bone soup since I just discovered that two of the three bones are from pork shoulders, not ham, but I think it will be okay…I hope so anyway. It is a sports day, too, with Man U playing this aft and then the 24 hours of Daytona starting at 3 so I will have something to nap to…and I will come back later for another one….more later…

January 25th

Well…it was another boring day yesterday and another cocktail night so I feel like crap…well…not really like crap but a little tired…and I do need to make a run out for groceries since I do want to make some soup tomorrow….it looks like another day of snow today and I think we’ve already had more than all of last year…not happy with that since I want to get out on the bike…I’ve already gained 10 pounds and that feels like crap….I may have lunch with T today and that is something to look forward to…kind of excited about that, too….and C is coming into town so I may have something to do all day…more later…

January 24th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I am starting to have a lot of fun driving the car in the snow…I think it’s getting up there with the best ones I have owned…but I think it’s probably the tires that make the difference…I did win at pool in the last game so that was cool but I was up 5-1 and then barely won so I probably shouldn’t be too happy….I did sleep okay last night but, with it being a cocktail night, I am running late today…I did get the new shifter on the bike and almost have it adjusted but the fine tuning will have to wait until I can ride it…I’m glad it is done since the old one was so greasy that every time I worked on it it left grease and dirt all over….will have to get that cleaned up today…not much to do today…it looks like I will just take it easy today and get the kitchen cleaned…I am baking bread later and that will be cool to have that smell in the place…

January 23rd

Well…it was a day yesterday and I did have a little fun with having a couple with G…the car barely started with it being -1 but there is a heat wave today and it is 6 so it should be okay….need to go start it up again here in a minute to warm it up for the trip to Meijers since I am out of food….slept okay last night with some dreams but they were about not finding work so that is not something I want to dwell on right now…I think I may be coming down with another bug with all of the sneezing and coughing but I don’t feel that bad so it can’t be the flu…I hope so anyway….I do have things to do today…it is a pool day with Tom but that is about it…more later…

January 22nd

Well…it was just so fricking cold going out to get the papers…the car was struggling to start and I left it running for almost a half hour since I could barely shift it into neutral…once it was a little warm it was okay and I do love the Blizzaks…I am starting to have fun sliding the thing around and using some of the skills I built in my younger days…and the Miata is so much more responsive that you can hold a slide quite easily…today is T’s big day and will be presenting for her new job in about an hour…I’m kind of excited for her and hope that maybe, someday, I may be able to find another job…the Wings almost disappointed me again last night but they did look better than the pounding they took Sat…not much to do today…an that is the truth… feeling crappy with a new bug so I need to lay low for the next couple of days…

January 21st

Well…it was a long day yesterday and I am surprised that I watched football games that I’m not interested in…probably from boredom or from T being interested in them…who knows? Didn’t really do much all day but just hang out here…it did snow last night but it doesn’t look like as much as predicted…I will have to clean off the car and let it warm up, though, since it is cold and that looks like the pattern for the week….not much to do today..as of this point, I can’t think of one thing other than getting the papers and having coffee…and working out…but that gets me done with everything by 10…oh, well…

January 20th

Well…not really running late since it is the weekend but I feel like I am….just finished the paper and I’m working on my second cup of coffee while I root against Chelsea and try to feel better after a cocktail night. I am so disappointed in the Wings that I think I’ll just not watch them anymore…after all, I’m already used to not seeing them so it won’t be too big of a deal…I am going to have to hibernate for a few days here with the cold weather coming along with 3-6 inches of snow overnight….it is January in Michigan so I’m pretty used to it after so many years…and, it has not been a bad winter so far so I shouldn’t bitch too much….I did sleep okay and I think it is the earplugs that I have been using….not much to do today…don’t have to cook since I did that yesterday..oh, just remembered Man U is playing in a while so that will be cool…and the weather in England is almost as bad as it is here…cold and snow…so that will be neat to watch…
