February 21st

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get much done, again, even forgot to come back here for another one even when there were topics for me to write about….didn’t sleep for crap last night and was up at 5 or so but I did get back to bed for an hour or so and that helped…now I’m waiting for soccer to start and will be getting some stuff done while I watch since Man U is not playing today….still feel a little crappy from the flu but I am mostly over it…still coughing some, though, and that has gotten really annoying but what can you do? The one thing I will say for it is that I haven’t been gaining as much weight as in a normal winter and that is a good thing…not much to do today…going to do the bathroom since it is getting grungy and probably a little kitchen work since I won’t be cooking for the next few days….more later…oh, and a few more of these since I am way behind for the month…

February 20th

Well…it was an okay day and I won at pool so that was okay…but, with Tom’s broken hand it is just okay…slept okay last night but had to get up twice to start the car but had a nice surprise when I got up at 3:45…the Beatles “A hard day’s night” was on so I had something to watch for the half hour I let it run….started right up this morning so I guess that was successful….I am tired this morning though so there will be a nap in the near future….other than pool, I didn’t get much done yesterday but I hope to at least do the bathroom today…I may finally be over the flu…well…not really…still coughing with lowered energy but I feel okay….not much to do today…it’s weird to not play pool on Friday but that gives me today to clean and cook so that is a good thing…more later…

Explain this to me…

Well…you know that I bitch some times about how stupid people war when they drive in winter around here…and normally, it is because they drive too fast and endanger my poor Miata….but today, with the only inclement weather being that is colder than crap…everyone was driving like it was a blizzard…and the roads were completely dry…I had to follow two idiots that were driving 40 in a 55 just because it was windy and cold…that was just way beyond my comprehension why anyone would do that…if you are that damn scared just go home until spring and get the hell out of the way…geez…

February 19th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I got a few things done so that was cool…slept okay but had to get up early to start the car…barely…but it did start so that was another good thing…but, tonight, I will be up starting the thing all night so tomorrow will be a low energy day…shooting pool today, though, so I will be able to just laze through the day and recover…had a nice lunch with T yesterday and it was good to see her such good conversations and found out that she was a Star Trek fan when she was a kid…something I didn’t know even though I’ve known her for 17 years…I am starting to feel better but still have the tobacco taste with the toothpaste…I may have to get some gel to try that and see if it is the toothpaste….not much to do today…pool, and then back here for the races later tonight…and keeping the car running…just one more day….more later…

I hate the cold…

Well….I am getting really, really tired of the cold weather around here and the worst is yet to come over the next two days…I may as well just leave the car running for the next two days since I will have to go out all night and start it if it is going to start Friday morning at 11 below….it just wears me out having to go out all night and start the thing but it’s better than taking the battery out and bringing it inside….just want this crap to be over….

February 18th

Well….it was a strange, long day yesterday without coffee and getting out of my normal routine….but, there were things that needed to be done so I did them…I did get out to see K and C for a couple and that was fun but too short….slept okay last night, too, but now I’m getting greedy that I want to sleep through an entire night just one more time…I did get a bunch of other stuff done yesterday, too, so there has been progress…I hesitate to mention that my tooth has been good for a week now since that will trigger more pain…and I am getting over the flu that I’ve had for over a week now and feel okay today…not much to do today…going to meet T for lunch and that will help the fact that nothing still tastes good…it has been good for my weight over the winter but not for how I feel….going to go big on flavor over the weekend to try to make it easier to eat…more later….

February 17th

Well….running really, really late this morning since the pressure switch on the well failed at C’s so I had to be the good person I’m trying to be and go over to fix it…only three trips out and it is fixed so that is a good thing…slept okay last night, too, even with being good but my stomach has been giving me fits for the past few days and I don’t really want to eat anything…it all tastes crappy…threw away half a chicken sandwich since I couldn’t force it down….not much to do today…..C is coming into town so I have to meet up with him later and have a couple and then I have a bunch of stuff to do around here…more later….

Some developments…

Well…just haven’t had the desire to do many of these lately with the bug and it being so damn cold that all I can do is worry whether or not the car is going to start. But, today, there have been some developments that I wanted to share and I hope that the act of writing will make it easier for me to continue….first, the best thing that happened is that my toothpaste no longer tastes like tobacco and I am starting to get the rest of my taste straightened out….the burning on my tongue seems to be subsiding, too, so maybe there is a light at the end of the tunnel? I did get a bunch of stuff done today all the while waiting for the energy level to fall off so far that it would put an end to it but it didn’t happen so I think that’s another sign I’m getting better, too….so, I am going to hope this translates into getting my brain working better, too, so I can get back to at least trying to do more of these and get caught up….more later…

February 16th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I felt like crap all day and today is starting out the same…just want this bug to be over and for me to get back to what passes for normal for me…I need to be able to taste, too, which is keeping me from eating enough and that is compounding my feeling like crap…and, I need to get a bunch more of these out in the next day or so since I’m way behind here and everywhere….not much to do today…I do have stuff to do but I’m not sure how far I’ll get feeling like this…going to have to be good for the entire week just to see where I’m at and I am looking forward to that….more later…

February 15th

Well…it was a crappy day yesterday and it looks like today will be the same…feel so rotten this morning that it is a huge amount of effort to just do this…I should be on the couch and that is where I am going in just a minute…the car did start this morning but that is because I let it run for an hour last night before bed…and I am getting really tired of that, too…..okay…that’s it….need to go back to the couch and rest…flu is not over yet….
