Well…another month gone and the most hated day of the new one comes…I just hate having to pay the rent…slept okay last night and don’t feel too bad this morning but I either have a bug or the allergies are the worst they have ever been…coughing like crazy today and my sinuses are concrete so I guess I’ll have to try some allergy stuff before the bike ride…the cool thing is that as soon as I finish this I can go out since it is already warm enough….and it is supposed to get to 70 today so top down out and back for pool with no fleece….I am sore and limping, too, and I’m not sure where that came from other than the bike….I did get my hair cut yesterday since they had a half price sale going on and I am getting to be a little cheap…not much to do today…might have lunch with T and then out for pool but that is about it….more later…

April 30th
Well….running a little late today for some reason that I don’t know…oh, did the grocery run today…slept okay last night but no dreams again and that is getting boring…feel okay this morning, though, and that is strange in itself…I am a little disappointed that the Wings lost last night but I’ll talk about that later…didn’t get a lot done yesterday but fix two flats on the bike…got a little shard of metal in the sidewall that just missed the tube protectors and then had the new tube fail at the seam where it is welded together…what a pain…so I cut the ride short and got back here before it went flat which saved me a 5 mile walk back here…going to do a long ride to day to make up for it….not much to do today…might get my hair cut in a few since they have a half price sale going on but that is about it…more later…
April 29th
Well….it has been a sorrowful morning this morning with news that one of T’s kitties died last night…not sure if anyone here has lost a pet friend but I know it’s tough on some of us when it happens….especially when you are a cat person….not sure if I want to do the normal schtick today but I guess I do have to….I did get the car done yesterday with the needed oil change and a new set of spark plugs…yeah, nope….not ready to do this right now….will be back in a while….
Okay…back for a while now..it has been a somber morning and I have tried to do all I can to support T….but now, it’s time to get back to it…slept for crap last night and then I had a flat out on the bike….some tiny little shard of metal pierced the sidewall where it’s not protected but I did get to ride it all the way back here before it went totally flat…so that was something…and the car runs so smooth with the new plugs in it I wonder why I didn’t do it earlier…and it is good to have oil pressure again….not much to do today…I’m basically done for the day and need to rest and reflect a little before the Wings tonight….more later…
The sucker got me today…
Well…as you know, one of those damn geese tried to attack me yesterday but I was able to avoid him pretty easily…well, not today….he was just sitting there as I rode by and then came at me from behind…no damage and I laughed a bit when he did it but now I know this bird is crazy…might have to take another route for a few days…I wanted to add the park back in anyway to get to the full 15 miles and it is going to be warm enough starting tomorrow so I guess I’ll try that…just too damn weird…
April 28th
Well…running a little early today and there is no reason for it…woke up the same time and went out for the papers at the same time so I’m not sure why…slept okay last night but feel a little crappy with the allergies today…and that the Wings lost and now they have to go back to Tampa for game 7…but I’ll talk about that later….my back has been hurting this morning and I am walking with a small limp with the pain….oh, well…should go away after the bike ride…looks like lunch with T today and I am looking forward to that and I need to get out and get the stuff to work on the car but that won’t happen til Thurs now so maybe I can wait a couple of days for that….or maybe even next week….not much to do today…just the bike ride and lunch so far but I should get some stuff done around here…more later….
Kamikaze geese….
Well…I almost forgot about this one from earlier today…out getting the bike ride in and the day was pretty uneventful….not a lot of wind but a little cold…but, when I got to the final leg that runs through the parking lot of the church behind me, the amusement started. It was another attack of the Kamikaze geese that are protecting something there…or are just out of their minds…not sure which. But, this time, I spied the big one coming in and just had to do a little swerve for him to miss me…I could hear his wings beating as he passed behind me, but the funniest damn thing was he couldn’t stop and whacked into a tree that is next to the lot…I laughed out loud when I saw that….but, this is not the first time this has happened…probably won’t be the last, either…stupid, stupid birds….
Some musings…
Well…it has been a while since I have just let my head wander around for a while here and, with being behind for the month, I think I’ll need to do one of these every day for the next few….I am a little excited about the gay marriage arguments that will go on at the Supreme court tomorrow…I just don’t see how they can not ensure that everyone in the US has the same rights…and it will be cool to see the heads explode on the right when it happens…I am a little disappointed in the weather this month…when is it going to stay warm? When the clouds rolled in when I was on the bike it was almost too cold to be out without gloves…maybe later in the week…I do have to work on the car tomorrow since it is going to rain Wed and Thurs…need to do the yearly oil change and change out the plugs since they are three years old….and I have the money to do it right now so I need to…..I am a little excited about the Wings game today and I need to get the gear out again…they could move on to the second round today and I have suspended my no cocktail rule so I can relax and enjoy it….more later…a trail weirdness one….
April 27th
Well….it was an okay day yesterday and I did get a few things done…washed and waxed the car and cooked a big ham for lunch…okay…so I didn’t get a lot done…slept okay last night but no dreams to speak of again….I don’t feel too bad today but my head is plugged up so it looks like the allergies are kicking in and I will have to use the medicine to tolerate it….I did get out on the bike for a nice ride yesterday and I hope to do the same today…need to get my lungs back in shape after being off it so much last week….I do have an errand to run this morning but that is about it for the day…and the Wings later…and cleaning a little so that’s it for my day….more later…
April 26th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I think I’m in a rut with not getting anything done…slept okay and had some dreams but nothing really interesting so I’ll just ignore them…didn’t even get out on the bike yesterday….I did go out but going into a 20mph wind was just too much and I came back home…I think that is only the 2nd time I’ve done that…usually, when I get out I just keep going but I just didn’t feel like that yesterday….I should feel worse today but maybe it’s the coffee….not much to do today…Man U is playing right now and then there are are races on the rest of the day…so I’m going to settle in and watch a little sports…more later….
April 25th
Well..it was an okay day yesterday and I won at pool so that was cool…and I was able to have the top down out and back and that was a plus…and I finally got a bike ride in after being off it all week…it felt good to get some exercise after being a slug all week and that will happen again today…just waiting for the temp to come up…I can’t wait for the weather to finally warm up so I can go out when I’m ready…it looks like it will be almost 80 by the end of next week so that will finally allow me to get out at 9am…..I feel a little crappy this morning after the long day that Fridays are and I think I slept okay but can’t be sure….I know I didn’t eat enough yesterday…down around 1400 cals for the day and that’s not enough with a bike ride…not much to do today…going to do laundry and clean a little but that’s about it…more later…
