January 13th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I was busy from 8 in the morning until three in the aft and that felt good…got a lot done around here and ran a bunch of errands so today looks like it is going to be a little letdown from that…slept okay but the tooth woke me up again but I went to bed with it hurting some so it’s my fault for not anticipating that it was going to get worse over night…the car barely started this morning at -4 so I think it will be trouble tomorrow at -10…I may have to start it up and let it run for a half hour or so before I go to bed to ensure that it will start…but, there is a warm up coming Thurs and into next week so just one more day of stress….it has been a long two weeks with T out of town and the lack of human contact but it is getting easier so that is a good thing….not much to do today…have to continue to clean this place up and get rid of the cobwebs to make me feel a little better about it….more later….

January 12th

Well…running a little late this morning and I’m not sure why…woke up feeling a little off today and my body is telling me there is something wrong in a big way….slept okay last night but the tooth is hurting this morning but nothing out of the ordinary so I guess I’ll just wait for the ibuprofen to kick in….didn’t get much done yesterday but I did get a few things that needed to be done done…and more of the same today with a couple of errands to run then some more work around here….then there will be a lull that I am going to use to send more resumes…yay….not much to do today….need to get a workout in and then run the errands…have to get the trash out today since it is piling up and I need to get all the bones out of the fridge before I cook more…mote later….

Getting bored….

Well…I have been thinking and feeling guilty about not doing these as regularly as I should and I think I’ve hit on why…I’m getting bored with me…bored with my life, bored with going two days without talking to a single human being…and I am really bored with looking for work all day every day. So, what’s to do about it? Have been thinking about a few things but some of them cost money and that’s just not a viable plan right now….I might start that third novel and put the pages up as I finish them…that would be something to do at least and it would make the time go by but I’m not sure I want to do that much work right now….I think part of this whole malaise is the coming below zero weather and the fear that the car won’t start when it’s 8 below Tuesday morning or when it’s 6 below Wed morning…I’m already really tired of the cold and the snow that is keeping me off the bike…I just feel cranky and you can see it in this post….okay…time to watch some football….and be bored some more…

December 11th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I did get a few things done so that was a bonus…slept okay but still no dreams so it seems like only half sleeping….but it was nice to have clean sheets and pillow cases for the night…still tired this morning, though, and I think it may be a veg day today with soccer starting right now and continuing until around one…and man U plays at 11 so that will be two hours of couching it at least….not much to do today….I am still trying to get the kitchen cleaned and I may get to part of it this aft but I am still down from the cold weather and no exercise and I may need to get out for a walk or something….

January 10th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I won at pool so that was okay, too….up early again today and had to do a short grocery run so I am running a little late but not too bad….didn’t sleep as well as I wanted but that still normal for where I’m at right now….didn’t get a lot done yesterday but I will fix that today with getting the kitchen cleaned and doing the shower…have all kind of grease spots that need to be removed and I’m not sure where they came from…must have been when I was working on the bike last time….I am going to cook today…making some venison tacos for lunch and then leftovers for later….not much to do today….just going to veg around a little and then clean…and there is soccer and football  so I shouldn’t be too bored….

One last thing…..happy birthday to Donadl Fagen…67 today…oh, and Rod Stewart, too…70 today….

 

January 9th

Well….it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t do much….slept crappy again but that is pretty normal and the no dreams are, too….the tooth is acting up again today but I think it’s more from grinding my teeth than anything else…got the whole day in yesterday with almost no pain so that was a good one…may have to take some ibuprofen this morning to head the pain off but that’s not bad if I only need one….and the flu is over but I still am low on energy that I hope will go away in a few days….I am a little depressed with the snow last night but it doesn’t look as bad as forecast so that was a little cool…but, I was plowing snow with the bottom of the car on the way out to get the papers…..not much to do today…pool, of course…and I am looking forward to it after missing last week…but that is it….have a bunch of free movie channels this weekend so that will make it a pretty veggie one…more later…

Oh, forgot to say happy birthday to Jimmy Page…71 today…

January 8th

Well…running early today since I’ve been up since 5 or so and thought I’d get this done before the grocery run….it was an okay day yesterday but so damn cold all day that I should have just let the car run all day since I had errands to do and then went out to have a couple with G….slept a little crappy last night but still better than normal so I’m not going to bitch too much…but I did lose one of my pairs of reading lasses here in the place somewhere and it is irritating the heck out of me since this place is not the Taj Mahal….just too strange but I’m sure I’ll find them some time today….I am finally completely over the flu and that feels good…probably should have said that….not much to do today…have the grocery run and then I’m going to kind of hibernate the rest of the day since it is suppose to snow this aft and I don’t have anywhere to be anyway…at least it’s up to 10 already so I know the car will start today….more later…

January 7th

Well…running early today since it is 7 and I am already bored….slept okay last night and feel okay today but I think it’s more that I’m being good this week than anything else…I am getting tired of the cold weather…just mind numbing and I am not sure if the car will start since I think the battery is getting weak….at least it will moderate by the weekend and get back to normal….I do have some errands to run to get supplies today but that is about it…I think the flu is finally going away but I’ll update that later this morning….even the tooth is cooperating today and there is just a little pain so I’ll take it…not much to do today…errands, of course, but then some cleaning and work around here but that is about it…..still going to hibernate a little today since the energy levels are still not normal…more later…

Oh…forgot about the dreams that had kittens, again, but they started as small as caterpillars then there were old Chryslers and movable houses…yeah, this was a weird one…and the kittens were even dressed up in clothes….yep, it’s weird in my head….

December 6th

Well…running late today since I had a couple of errands to run this morning…was out of food so I had to do the grocery run and then another place looking for tools that I need with no luck…slept okay last night but still feel run down this morning…might have to take another day of recovery and I’m not sure if I like it or not….it was an okay day yesterday but I still didn’t get much done and that is starting to wear on me…but, when I hit the grocery store and end up sweating through your clothes, there is still something wrong and I guess I can’t get too down about it…not much to do today….need to try to clean a little but have a bad headache this morning that is going to interfere with that….so, it may be another lost day as I recover…more later….

The flu chronicles…part 4

Well…I am a pretty optimistic person usually and that carries over into my assessment of how the flu is affecting me….as you remember from yesterday, I felt that this flu was getting over quickly and I was thankful for that…well…I was wrong….or maybe not wrong since I felt that this was going to take a week or so to get over and, with how I feel today, I think that initial assessment was probably right. Woke up this morning back to the feeling of extreme fatigue…so much so that just getting my hair cut was way too much exertion and the pain and coughing has returned….I knew the relapse was coming but wishful thinking had me believing it was almost over…oh, well…at least it will give me something to talk about the next few days until politics gets back in full swing….
