Well…it was an interesting day yesterday and the rift with G was repaired so that was something…got to go out and see her new house and it is pretty nice…slept okay last night and I am starting to get used to the new sleep patterns and think that the key is to not get frustrated by waking up all night…that lowers my stress levels significantly and I think that helps…didn’t ride the bike and I think I’m going to skip again today since it is only 24 degrees outside and I just can’t get motivated to get out the full thermasuit…I did figure out that I have a cd player in the car and have gotten away from just listening to the radio…and I found a cd that I have been looking for for two years and that made me smile…didn’t look too hard since it took two years but it was still a pleasant surprise…feel pretty good today with having 5 days now of being good but that will end today and tomorrow…trying to get out of the habit of cocktails and it looks like with some success…not much to do today…pool, of course, but I’m broke so I may have to skip…it is hard for me to be a mooch… more later….

Well…it was a normal day turned ugly yesterday with a huge, huge argument with G again that is making me reconsider whether I ever want to see her again….so there will be no dinner party with her Sat and that will save me some cash and allow me to just relax around here…I did get the snowies on the car but the one that I left flat all summer is not sealing too well…I did add some of the tire sealer that I carried in the trunk all summer but had to let it thaw to be able to do that…the damn can was frozen solid and it took about 3 hours to make it usable…and, the tire was up this morning so maybe I have it fixed…and the newly painted wheels look okay from about 20 feet…the car was not starting too well yesterday but I think it was leaving the radio and fan on for an hour as I put the tires on…started okay this morning so maybe that was it…slept okay last night and am still in the same pattern of sleeping for a couple of hours and then up but I don’t feel too bad today….probably since this is going to be the 5th day of being good…looks like no bike ride today since the wind is already blowing over 20 and I got to the goal for the year yesterday….I do need to work out so I’ll end here…more later…

Well…it was a boring but okay day yesterday and I did get a few things done so that helped me get past the disappointment of not getting any resume responses or the battery for the walkman….still fighting the poor sleep but I think I may be okay with what is going on now…I seem to have slipped into a pattern where I do sleep for over an hour at a time and that is progress…and there were dreams but they were so jumbled I can’t recall or make sense of them….I do think I’m starting to feel a little better but I think it may be allergies since no cold take 4 weeks to end….and with being good since Sunday, I think my body is starting to thank me…I know I’ve lost some weight and have more energy and that is a good thing….not much to do today…going to do the workout, of course, and then get out on the bike after it warms up a little…should put the snowies on the car but I just don’t like the way they ride…I guess I’ll have to see if I can wait until next week…more later…

Well…it was just another normal day yesterday but I did get a bike ride in so that made it much more tolerable…slept like crap again but that is the new normal for this week so I guess I’ll just have to get used to it…and I am really sore from getting back on the bike after 10 days off but they are new pains that I haven’t had before so I am a little confused about that….it looks like there is another really cold snap coming so I should get the snowies on the car before it snows a lot….probably won’t happen before next week, though, since I’m not going to wash the car until after G’s on sat…dirt road an all that and I want the summer wheels to be clean before I take them off…not much to do today…I do have an errand or two to run this morning and then the normal day…and a few things to do around here, too, so at least I’ll have something to do until noon….more later…

Well..it has been one of those really depressing days that just take all your energy away and I am not coping with it as well as I wish…so, just can’t work up the outrage to do a political one today….so it’s going to be another meander through what is left of my mind and the things that are in there…at least the Wings have won four in a row and have started to play again…and the damn cough I’ve had for a month now is still here…I thought getting back on the bike might clear it up but it hasn’t…it has been nice to ride again, though, even without music…don’t feel so damn guilty eating when I ride that day…might have an eating disorder but I think it’s more that I’m broke and don’t want to spend any money on food….feels good to lose weight, though, but I guess it doesn’t work too well to stay healthy….still haven’t gotten the battery for the walkman and it is almost 4 weeks now…and that isn’t even irritating me today…don’t have the energy for it…okay, need to stop writing this now….too depressing…

Well…not sure how I am already behind for the month other than I had nothing much to say yesterday…and, I really didn’t do much so that is no excuse..oh, well…slept really crappy again and it is starting to be a pattern again…there wasn’t even any football to watch so that made it even more boring…and no races, no movies…I did get out on the bike and survived the ice on the trail and it was nice to get out and get some exercise…going to try to do that again today since I have about 30 more miles I need to do to get to the goal for the year…not much to do today….just the normal stuff and I won’t describe that here since you’ll be bored…more later…

One thing I forgot to mention…my last aunt on my mother’s side died last week…so that means that entire generation is now gone and we are the oldsters…kind of weird…she was the nicest one of my mother’s three sisters and always had a smile and a laugh for you…sorry to see her go but she made it to 86 and that’s not too bad…

Well…it was a disappointing day yesterday with Michigan losing again and nothing really happening the rest of the day…and today is the 1st which is always the worst day of the month for me…I did meet the goal for the month so that is something but not much…feel a little worn out this morning but okay…the bug is still hanging on for over three weeks now and I am getting tired of it..slept pretty crappy and have been up since before 6 so there will be a nap in store for later and I think I’ll even get out on the bike since it was warm enough to melt the snow on the trail yesterday…but, right now, I am going to watch a movie and veg on the couch for a while….more later….

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I lost at pool for the first time in a long time so that’s okay, too…other than pool, I didn’t do much yesterday and today looks about the same…slept okay last night but, I feel worn out so this one is going to be short…I don’t think I need a new thermostat for the car since the heat worked fine going out to pool…but, it might be that it was just warmer or that I had jeans on for the first time this winter…not much to do today…just going to do laundry and clean since I do have to wait for the trails to melt so I can take the bike out…and, I do have to do one more of these to make the goal for the month but I’m not sure if it will be a good topic or not…more later…

Well…running really late today and it’s not my fault this time…the server where my site resides went down until right now so that’s a pretty good excuse…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t really do anything but watch football and eat…and cocktails so I am a little worn out today…but, part of that is still a damn bug that I have since I am still coughing and my head is plugged up…other than that, I feel okay….did sleep okay but I have to remember that I had the heat down from cooking…It was cold last night and I was up and down most of the night…I am finally going into jeans today since it is after t-day and I made the goal so that will help…still think I need to change the thermostat in the car since it doesn’t heat up like it used to…we’ll see after a long drive today out for pool…other than that, not much to do today..the Wings are playing this aft but that will be after pool…more later…

Well…it is a really, really slow news day today so this one is just going to be another one of the meandering ones that I have been doing a lot of lately…..oh, there is one bit of news…comet ISON didn’t make it around the sun…they watched it going in but it didn’t make it around the back…that is a little disappointing since I was looking forward to trying to find it next week…oh well…the turkey came out okay but I don’t think I’ll use cranberry juice next year…there were parts that were a little bitter….but, it was kind of nice to have the whole thing done and cleaned up by half time of the Lions game….one that the Lions won for the first time in 10 years…yay….and now I can just sit here and let the food digest until later…when I get to make a sandwich…and then, cocktails again…so, on that note, I am going back to the couch and have some more water….
