December 24th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but a little too busy for my taste…got the grocery run done and then the exercise, then out to have lunch with T and then out to have a couple with G….too much for one day but I lived through it so that was cool…getting a head start on the night leaves me a little slow today, though, so there will be much coffee today…slept okay last night but had no dreams again so what’s the point? Got through the night with no pain in the tooth and that is a big plus and it looks like that is continuing today…there is still a little pain but nothing like it was so I’ll take it….not much to do today…going to get the workout in and a bike ride and then basically nothing for the rest of the day…I do want to do the bathroom so I can do the kitchen tomorrow but we’ll see if that happens…more later…

Alone at Christmas…

Well…have been thinking about something to write today and just came up with an idea to talk about being alone at Christmas…now, most people have the idea that to be alone at Christmas is a lonely, bad thing and something needs to be done to make sure no one is alone on this supposed “special” day. Let me tell you this….I am spending my 8th or 10th one alone and could not be happier…since I’m not a religious person…the whole idea of celebrating something tied to religion is anethema to me…it seems like doing it would be an acceptance of the religious underpinnings that are clearly fake…if there even was a Jesus, he certainly wasn’t born in December…but, that wouldn’t matter anyway….all of this stuff is just fairy tales concocted by ignorant goatherders whose superstitions are being treated as fact by many of the people in this country…okay…that’s the end of my screed on religion…all I want to say is that I get to lie on my couch and read the paper, while I’m having a relaxing coffee and then get a nice bike ride in on Thursday…and, then make venison tacos for my dinner with the possibility of a nap thrown in there…I’ll bet my Christmas would be the one that many people would have if they could…I’m going to be relaxing…how about you?

December 23rd

Well…running early today with the crappy sleep and getting up early so I thought I’d get this one done before I have to get going….it looks like a kind of busy day with doing the final grocery run before thursday and getting the workout and bike ride in early this morning before I may have lunch with T….I do need to get some degreaser today to try to clean up the shifter on the bike and get it to shift again…the dirt and sand that got in it last week has made it a pain and just lubing it has not worked so far…but, I won’t get to that today…I think I’ll save that for tomorrow or do it after lunch….the tooth hurt again last night and I’m not sure what it happening with that….I must be sleeping on it or something since it doesn’t hurt at all during the day….not much to do today…well…that’s not really true…but, I’ve already talked about that so I won’t do it again…more later….

December 22nd

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I made a little cash so that was cool…slept okay but still feel a little sluggish this morning so I may have to take it easy for a while….didn’t get much done yesterday but I did get the bike ride in…I do have to work on the shifter since I rode in the rain last week…sticks both up and down so I need to clean it so it works again…just annoying….can’t remember going out that late…it was almost dark when I got back here…but, the work gloves inside of the insulated ones helped…hands were only half frozen when I got back…not much to do today…and that is true…I am going to clean the bathroom and the stove if I can work up the ambition…more later…

December 21st

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and it was fun to get out and see K for a couple….slept okay and the tooth didn’t hurt much so that was a plus….no dreams to speak of and I wonder what the point of sleeping is if you don’t get a movie to go with it? I did get out on the bike yesterday but froze and that was not good…had a hard time getting warm after it and the effects lasted most of the rest of the day…couldn’t use my hands for about a half hour after I got back here and they still have a little pain today…but, I’m still going out today and do it again…yep, pretty stupid but I need the exercise….not much to do today..I have to eat more today since I was under the goal by about a thousand calories yesterday….I do have to run an errand this aft but that is about it…I am a little excited about the Lions game today since it will be  good to see them beat the Bears twice in one season…more later…

December 20th

Well…running a little late today and there is really no reason for it other than I’m just taking it slow today…it was an okay day yesterday and I got a care package of venison so that was cool…even had some steaks for lunch that were so tender I couldn’t believe it…slept okay last night but no dreams to speak of again but that is okay, too…I did get the tooth to not hurt overnight for the first time in months and that made for better sleep than it has been….I am a little irritated with T since we were supposed to meet up for HH yesterday but I never heard from her…not even an “I can’t make it” text and I think that shows a lack of respect for me that I am getting tired of….especially since it is the second time that happened this week….not much to do today…have to watch Man U play at 10 and I am making a ham dinner for lunch so that will be good…then a run out to Tom’s in the aft but that is about it…need to get on the bike if it gets warm enough before I need to go…more later….

December 19th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I lost at pool…and that was not even a bad thing since it came to a championship game….but, I am still screwed up since I woke up this morning thinking it was Saturday…and my tooth is throwing fits of pain this morning that I can’t understand…slept okay but no dreams to speak of…oh, and I’m running late today since Brian dropped off a care package of venison and that always turns into a half hour of just shooting the bs….I now have about 5 lbs of burger and steaks that I will need to find room for in the freezer….I am enjoying the no snow weather we’re having….didn’t even have to warm the car up to get the frost off and it was only 21 degrees when I went out for the papers…not much to do today….might have HH with T later but that is about it…I may get out on the bike later, too but with meeting the goal for the year, I am a lot less motivated to freeze my butt off…more later….

December 18th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I did get a few things done so that was cool…slept okay last night but had to get up to take some ibuprofen for the tooth again…should have just taken it before bed to ensure no pain overnight but I needed to know how bad or if the pain would come back…had some dreams about another Miata being stolen and  wrecked…not mine since it was red but I still owned it…yeah, that’s confusing I know but I think it has to do with the fact that I wanted to buy a red one when I bought mine….slept okay, too, after I got up at 3 and went back to bed…I am a little tired today but feel okay after being good for so long…but that will probably end tonight since we are moving pool day up to today…not much to do today…I do need to do the grocery run this morning and get a workout in but probably won’t get on the bike again….just won’t be warm enough until after noon and then I’d feel rushed….and I hit the goal in miles  for the year a couple of days ago…more later….

December 17th

Well…running early today since it is 7:16 and I am bored already…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get much done…again….but I don’t feel bad about it…slept okay last night and had dreams that had to do with a wedding at a run down resort that was at a mall…can’t remember who was getting married but Randy Quaid was in it…yep, pretty damn random and it ended with me walking over a newly tarred roof and ruining my shoes…..it was nice for one last day to get out in half thermasuit yesterday but today will be cold so I may not even go out…looks like the car is a solid block of ice after the rain and the freeze so I may have to use some hot water to get it open again…not much to do today…going to try to clean again and I finally get to cook  after having leftovers for days and days….haven’t been eating enough and need to correct that to get more energy…more later….

December 16th

Well….it was an okay day yesterday and I got a few things done so that was cool…and got out to have a couple with G and it was nice to get out of here for a change….slept pretty crappy last night and woke up too many times to count with dreams that I don’t remember…and the tooth hurt like crazy which is not normal and I had to take something for it at 3:30….so, I’m running a little slow today and I’m not sure what kind of day that is going to make it…probably just more coffee and then on the bike before it starts to get colder today…it has been a nice run of weather for December and it looks good but cold until next wed when it starts to snow…but, it is Michigan so we should expect some snow…not much to do today….the bathroom is crying out for a good cleaning and the kitchen could use it, too, so that will be on the agenda for today…and I have a topic for later so there will be another one of these for later today…maybe even two if the brain will allow it…more later….
