December 16th

Well…I was right…it was another boring day yesterday and the only thing I did was binge watch “Lillyhammer” to get through the 8 new ones…pretty good show and the last one had lots of tongue in cheek “Sopranos” references including the theme song…slept like normal and feel okay today but it’s only 3 degrees outside and that just adds to the layers of things to be depressed about…the car did start so that was a good thing and it appears that the heat works fine…we’ll see….might have lunch with T today but it looks a little iffy and, as much as I’d like to see her, I just don’t have the cash to be spending going out…not much to do today…I do need to work out since I can’t ride anymore and that is making me even more depressed…gaining weight already and that will be a nice set up for further depression…just full of laughs today…more later…

December 15th

Well…another day gone by and not really anything to show for it…and, I’m running really late today since I had to make two runs out to get the paper…wasn’t there at the normal time and that threw me off for the morning…didn’t sleep okay last night and I think part of it is that I fell asleep on the couch and I am sore from doing that…oh, well…didn’t get much accomplished yesterday other than cooking…didn’t even clean at all so I do need to do the bathroom today….and there are no Lions on today so this day is shaping up to be a bore…maybe a Netflix marathon is in order? Made some of the crappiest coffee in a long time yesterday that I am finishing today…trying to save money and make the coffee last is just not working…it is more like brown water…I can’t afford to buy coffee so I guess I’ll just have to live with it…I do have tea in the cupboard but that gives me terrible heartburn and I’m not fond of the taste…more later…

December 14th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I lost at pool for the 3rd week in a row and I’m not sure how I feel about it..okay, I do…don’t care…slept okay last night but got up really early so there will be a nap at some point today…or maybe not…who knows? Have been out already this morning and I really do have to remember to dress warmer…it was just damn cold putting gas in the car…but, I am all set for the weekend now so it looks like hibernation is going to be the order of the day…I should clean my bathroom and I think I will after coffee…other than that, not much to do today…Michigan plays Arizona in basketball at noon so that might be something and the Wings play later so I will have something to do…more later…

December 13th

Well…it was just another day yesterday and i didn’t really accomplish much…and the 12 degree high for the day just took everything out of me…made me depressed about the whole world and T not feeling well didn’t help…I did sleep okay and there were dreams of breaking my phone in half which was just odd….I did get to cook a ham that I bought yesterday and the addition of some protein to my diet was a good thing but I still feel sluggish without being able to get out on the bike…and now, both elbows have started to hurt and I am just so tired of it…should go take some ibuprofen I guess…not much to do today…should be a pool day but since I am broke, I think I should take a pass…I am tired of being a mooch…more later…

December 12th

Well…it was another long day yesterday and I did get out to see C for a few minutes but couldn’t afford to spend any money so it was water at the bar…kinda weird but I may be able to get used to it…and the lunch with T was canceled since she is not feeling well and I am starting to worry about her…I know the stress from being out of work and the constant knot in the stomach is something I really want to go away….slept okay but I am finding that I no longer can sleep in my left side…just won’t sleep until I shift over and it is really strange since it has never happened before…I did have to spend what little I had in my checking account to buy food since I had cleaned out my freezer and there was just no food left…even without riding the bike I have been losing weight and I know part it is I can’t afford cocktails so that saves a thousand calories a day…I did buy a nice ham today for 11 bucks but that should last me through next week…going to cook that today with the glaze that came with it…haven’t had much protein in the past week so that will be good…not much to do today…going to hibernate with it being 12 degrees outside and no money….more later…

December 11th

Well…it was just a normal day yesterday but I did get some cleaning done so that made me feel good…and slept okay last night but no dreams but that is okay…I do like the entertainment value but sometimes it brings up things that I really don’t want to think about…like being broke and it being winter and I’m already tired of it…but, I do need to slide into the endurance mode that gets me through most winters but it is almost too early to do that…not sure if I can do endurance for 4 months..we’ll see…it is kind of funny when I look at my computer and how much I use it…the letters on the keys are starting to wear off and the e and d are gone…I can type without knowing but there are times that brain freeze has me starting at the keyboard and wondering what they are….not much to do today….might have lunch with T and then out for a couple with C later…but, might have to just have water since I am broke again…more later…

December 10th

Well…it was another long, long day yesterday and I think I’m getting into the bunker mentality that normally doesn’t come until Jan or Feb…and, 12 degrees this morning? It’s not even winter yet and it’s colder than it was all of last year…at least the car is starting and the trans is shifting well with the new fluid in it…it was the second no cocktail night in a row last night and I think I’m really starting to like it…feel so much better…wonder if I’ll eliminate them completely? Never thought that would be an option but it has started to creep into my thoughts…would really help keeping the weight down over the winter and save a bunch of cash…not sure if the boredom will be bearable, though…..slept okay but the strange thing was I could only sleep on my right side…normally, I flop back and forth all night…not much to do today..I do have to clean since my brother is coming over today and I am not looking forward to the cleaning…it needs to be done, though, so I guess I should just get to it…after coffee, that is…more later…

December 9th

Well…it was another long day yesterday and the Lions lost, again, so that made it even worse…but, I shouldn’t be surprised at that….slept okay, I think, since the blankets and pillows are still on the bed and not the floor but I am a little tired this morning…I am looking forward to another week of no cocktails…I was pretty good last week and felt so much better…so, I’ll keep it up to try to keep my weight down now that I can’t ride the bike….not too motivated this morning but I do need to work out at some point…but, I think I’ll have my second cup of coffee first….not much to do today…I am going to clean some since the kitchen really needs it and the bathroom could use some work, too…so, another boring day…more later…

December 8th

Well…it was a long day yesterday and the party at G’s was lots of fun…did come home pretty early…at 10, but 5 hours of wine and food was enough for me and the drive home was quite easy…and, the drive was only 15 minutes by back road so it was not a bad one…slept okay last night, I think, but feel pretty crappy today with getting up at 5:30 so there will be a nap sometime in the future…the bean dip I made for the party was a hit and it really did come out good for just winging it…okay…need to hit the couch for a while and have my coffee…but first, not much to do today…going to just veg the day away and watch foot ball…more later…

December 7th

Well…it was a long day yesterday with going out for pool…which I lost again…and then out to meet up with K and V for a couple and then having a cocktail night…feel okay this morning, though, which is a little bit of a surprise…and it looks like today is going to be another busy one with meeting up with C this aft and then the big dinner party at G’s…I am looking forward to the party but it will be nice to be home when it is over..I am glad I put the snowies on the car this week…they are just so much better than the summer tires and they do look kind of cool….and it looks like snow later today so the trip down to Dorr will be safer….not much to do today…other than what I’ve already said that is…just going to hang out and wait to hear from C and do some reading this morning…low key stuff…more later…
