January 28th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I spent most of it just digging the car out of the snow…it did start this morning but it was a struggle so I will need to start it later today and let it run for a half hour or so just to get some heat in the battery since it is going to be 3 for a high today…slept okay last night and I am inching closer and closer to skipping cocktail nights all together..I feel so much better when I do…but, part of it is that I think I ate enough yesterday, too, which I have been struggling with lately…got all the way up to 1400 cals yesterday and I am going to try to do the same thing today…maybe even more but it is hard to eat so much…today looks like a total veg day with lots of cleaning in it after I work out…other than that, just need to get caught up here and I have an idea on the whiny conservatives and how they can say whatever they want but no one has the right to criticize them for it…hypocrites…more later…

January 27th

Well…running late again this morning and the only reason is that I forgot to come here after doing the post over at Kos…and I got the workout in, too…it was an okay day yesterday and got a few things done but I am getting so, so tired of the damn snow…it is getting hard to even get around and tomorrow the high is going to be zero…still haven’t achieved hunker down mode so I will stop thinking of the weather…maybe this week….I do need to go out later this morning to meet up with a friend but after that, I will be hibernating the rest of the week….not much to do today…I am going to clean the kitchen since it is a mess from the last time I cooked and I just don’t like the way it looks…more later…

Another part two…

Well…it has been kind of a busy day today and I still haven’t figured out a political one to get caught up so I think I’ll just do an update or a part two again today…I did get over to close up C’s house today and the drive over was one of the most unnerving I’ve had in the Miata…the roads looked clear but with the cold, the salt wasn’t working and there was a glaze of ice and when I let off the gas, the back of the car wanted to come around from the compression in the engine…and I must have seen 30 cars in the ditch or in wrecks just over to Leonard street and back…and the trip back was out in the unplowed lane just to get some traction…and not over 50 mph all the way home….so it felt pretty good to get home and parked back here with no damage….other than that, it has been a normal Sunday and all I’ve done is laundry…and that looks like all I will do since the Wings are on and there are bobsled races on another channel….

Part two….

Well…there have been happenings in politics that have been making my job here a little easier but I didn’t get out to get the papers today with all the damn snow, so I don’t think this one is going to be about politics…I did get the car out of it’s parking spot this morning but I hate it when it snows on the weekend…the rest of the idiots here are too lazy to go out and move their cars so the guys can remove the snow so that makes only one spot that was plowed this morning that I can park my car in…and, as soon as I move it, someone will run out and move their car into it…geez…I can’t wait to find a job and buy a house…and, I will have to go out and let it run for a while later to make sure it will start in the morning…racing started today and I’m just not able to get into it…maybe I’m finally over it? Nope, no politics today unless something pops up on twitter later and I get motivated to come back…

January 25th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I lost at pool….and now I wake up to a foot of snow on the car which isn’t helping my mood at all…can’t even get out to get the papers since they haven’t plowed the lot yet…didn’t do much other than pool yesterday and it was a cocktail night that is not helping my cold at all….don’t have any ambition for today, either, so it looks like a day of cooking, races, and vegging…just poured the first cup of coffee and that doesn’t even look good to me…probably should just go back to the couch and watch some soccer until this foul mood goes away….more later…

January 24th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I did have a bunch of stuff to do that I got done…so, the baby steps are working…slept okay last night but this low level infection I have is getting wearing and I am tired today….part of that could be that it has been so damn cold for so long…putting gas in the car this morning was an ordeal and I know it is wearing on the car, too…having to let it run every morning is not good for it and it looks like that will go on for another 10 days or so…will need to change the oil as soon as it warms up a little since I am seeing a drop in oil pressure…not much to do today…if it storms like they are predicting, I may have to stay home today since there are blizzard warnings up for today and into tomorrow…getting really, really tired of this winter….more later…

January 23rd

Well…running late this morning since I had some errands to run and figured I’d get all of them done while the car was warm…and, it started kinda weird but I am going to try to not think about that today…it was an okay day yesterday and I did get a few things done so that was progress, anyway. The Wings finally won one in a shootout in a game that I couldn’t see since it was on a stupid channel I don’t get…but, I just saw that they are re-running it on NHL network this aft so that will be something to look forward to….and Michigan and State are playing hockey tonight so that will give me something to do later….and, I feel pretty good today with having 4 days in a row of being good and am going to make it 5 tonight….I did go out for a couple with G last night and it almost got out of hand…especially since the inside of the car windows froze up and didn’t really thaw until I go back here..I am getting so frickin tired of the cold and it looks like we have two more weeks in a row of it…oh, well…not much to do today…I do have some stuff to get done around here after I work out but that is about it…more later…

January 22nd

Well…it was kind of a lost day yesterday with getting no sleep the previous night…but, that didn’t translate into the afternoon nap that I was looking forward to…my sleep patterns have become so weird that I am just going to stop thinking about them…slept okay last night, though, so I feel pretty good today…this being good stuff is really starting to pay off and I think it is going to be the habit from now on…didn’t do a lot yesterday but I did get a few things done and I hope to continue today…actually started to eat more veggies yesterday and have found a salad dressing that makes salads palatable so that will help in eating more healthy…I didn’t say healthy because I still like to eat meat…not much to do today…I am going to clean some and then try to figure out what to cook for lunch….spent 23 of my last 75 dollars on food yesterday but that should get me through the weekend….not sure if I’m going to have enough money for cocktails this weekend but that is not a bad thing…more later…

January 21st

Well..this damn software lost another one yesterday so this will have to be a combo of today’s and yesterdays…it was an okay day yesterday and I did have a bunch of stuff to do with helping C on getting his water flowing in his house again and generally getting dirty which was okay…slept really, really crappy and have been up since 4:30 but I still have energy so maybe it will be okay..have already gone out to do a little grocery shopping since I was out of food but spent 23 bucks that I don’t have…oh, well…I do need to eat…have been thinking about cutting it down to every other day, though, just to see how the body will fare….I used to do that all the time when I was trying to lose weight so maybe it will work again? Not much to do today…I do have a bunch of stuff to do around here today so that will be on the agenda…more later…

Not getting further behind…

Well…it has been a long day and a busy one but I can’t get farther behind so I am going to cheat a little and get a short one out…and try to redeem myself tomorrow with some really great ones….and if you believe that, I have a wonderful bridge to sell you…have been working with C all day trying to get the water going in parts of his house again and got most of it done….had to dig out the insulated boots I haven’t worn in two years to keep from freezing and it worked somewhat…stayed warm and got things done…and now I am waiting to hear from G to see if she wants to go out and have a couple…it will do me in if she does but I need to get back in the habit of going more than just hanging out here…okay, need to rest some before going out again so I need to end here…
