June 17th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I got a few things done so that was kind of okay….back to the crappy sleeping…or still sleeping crappy so again, I feel worn out today…and, with the rain, I may have to skip the bike ride since I so want to see the Mexico/Brazil game at noon…there was good news with the US winning their first game last night…oh, going to do a sports one later so I’ll wait to talk about that until this afternoon. I do need to get some stuff done around here again today but feeling as I do, I think it won’t be much…and with eating peanuts again, my guts are screaming at me to stop being such an idiot….more later….

A fun one…

Well…after that last one, I really do need to do a fun one and this one has been fermenting in my head for a few days now….parts of my ride every day take to the roads that connect the trails that I use and a funny thing struck me…there are quite a few car parts that I have been seeing in the road that I think would be essential to the operation of the car…I wonder how long it took for the owners to notice they were missing? Saw an oil dipstick yesterday, a radiator cap today, a tie rod end clamp last week, and always a lot of lugnuts that hold tires on….even found a tire on the rim next to the trail along M6…nice wheel, too, but a few days later it was gone….even saw some brake pads a few weeks back…I know those would be missed…..maybe not…who knows?

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but, as you can see, I was way too lazy and didn’t come back for another one…going to try to fix that today…slept pretty crappy again but that is pretty normal and I am getting used to being tired….the soccer has been fun, too, and today the US starts at 6 so that will be a nail biter…they need to win or tie today or they won’t get to the knockout stage…and Germany and Portugal play at noon so I need to get a bunch of stuff done before then….not much to do today….need to work out and get the ride in and then some stuff done here and then get ready for the games…more later…one last thing…T is finally gone from my life after 17 years…and I am still struggling some with that…how do you just stop talking to someone you’ve known for so long? Will probably have to write about that a little over the next week or so until I can really accept it….more later…

June 15th

Well…it was just a boring, boring day yesterday but I guess there was the 24hours…and soccer…okay, so it wasn’t that boring…slept kind of okay but I have been up since 5 or so and that makes only about 4 1/2 hours last night…oh, well….but, it looks like it is really nice outside this morning so the bike ride will be a good one…I think there is little wind, too, so that will make it quite pleasant….and, I am up to almost 750 miles for the year so far and I am quickly coming up on 20K miles on this bike and that should make me feel good but I’m not sure it does…hmmmm….not much to do today…going to just laze around here today and eat leftovers and watch more soccer…oh, and there is a race on, too, so maybe today won’t be too boring….more later…

Gonna cheat early…

Well…haven’t found anything to write about today so I’m going to start cheating early this month…have been without any energy today so it has been one of those days where you just hang out and be…not accomplish and that is okay for today…I am waiting for the England/Italy match to start in a few minutes and I hope I’m not already bored of soccer….maybe when the US starts to play Monday it will be better….I do have to start getting out in the sun to even out the biker tan that is forming up….and it looks quite strange….okay….just don’t want to do this right now so I’m going to go back to the couch and have some more water before the game…

June 14th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I won at pool so that was cool….and I had the chance to go out and have one with K and that was fun….and I am getting into the world cup so that gives me something to do…slept crappy, crappy, crappy last night but that is the new normal so I guess I should accept it….I am worn out again today so it is going to be a low key thing all day with races and soccer all day…might even clean a little if I get some energy back but I’m not holding my breath on that one….I will have to come back here for two more today to get caught up so I may even have to make the brain work today…not sure if that is possible…now it’s time for more coffee and the 24 hours of LeMans….more later…

June 13th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but didn’t get much accomplished…still sleeping crappy and feeling it all day but I did eat enough for once so that is a plus…but, it was a cocktail night so that is adding to the malaise I feel this morning…and my back is still hurting and now it  spikes every time I take a step…think I’ll have to take something for it before I get on the bike…with the wind blowing as it is, the bike ride is going to be a pain but I need to do it…can’t take two days off in one week…not much to do today…pool, of course, and world cup but that is about it…more later…

June 12th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I was not good last night so I feel a little less than perfect this morning…but, that’s okay…I made a little cash so there will be groceries again and supplies that I need but have been putting off getting….slept okay but not back to the good nights I had a few weeks back and that is frustrating….thought about how many rpms I did trying to sleep…that made me laugh a little…the world cup is starting today so that will be something to keep the boredom at bay for a couple of weeks…not much to do today…I have some errands to run and some stuff to do around here but once the matches start, that will be it….more later…

June 11th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get much done again…slept okay but had dreams about poppies and traveling all night that kind of tired me out…and getting up at 5 doesn’t help…it’s going to be another one of those low energy days that I am just going to survive…I have run out of groceries so I do need to make that run today and, with the rain, it looks like I’m going to take the day off the bike to try to rest the back for a day and get rid of the pain…I did go out to have a couple with G last night but I think that is going to end…it is just too much work and not a lot of fun anymore…more later…

June 10th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I did get a few things done…made a little cash, too, so I can buy groceries this week and have a little money for newspapers…slept pretty crappy again, and now I am nostalgic for the few days that I did sleep…but, that’s just how it goes and I should be used to it by now…was good again last night and I hope that will lead to feeling good today but I was under on calories again so it looks set up to run out of energy before noon…oh, well…not much to do today…C is coming into town so I may have a couple with him before the concert he is here to see but that is about it…and a few things to do around here…more later…
