Well…another long day yesterday with nothing much to say about it…I woke up, did stuff, then had cocktails and went to bed…the Wings did look like a team last night and crushed the Bruins…so that was something to see…slept okay but kicked all of the covers off and woke up freezing…but I’m not as sore today so that is okay…I did brine my turkey in cranberry/apple juice and it turned out red…can’t wait to see how it tastes…not much to do today…going to continue my coffee…have the pie baked already and will be putting the turkey in around noon or so…then football and gorging….more later…

Maybe I’ll wander today…
Well…have been sidetracked a little today with Man U playing…and winning to my surprise…but, I need to make sure I don’t get behind this late in the month so I may just do some wandering today….it has been a depressing month with not making any cash all and that has made my already pretty small life even smaller since I can’t spend cash I don’t have….but, I am going to enjoy tonight with the Wings playing and still working on the “Dexter” marathon that I have been doing the past couple of days…one thing I just don’t understand is all of the stores that are opening on T-day…when polls that have been done show that only about 10% of the people are going to go out and shop…and, having the food courts open? I guess there are people who don’t cook and need to eat out…but, I would guess there are not that many…I’m even making a turkey just for me…trying a new brine with apple/cranberry juice that I’m hoping will be good….and how much cheaper can you buy protein? See, I am wandering….it has been a chore trying to get rid of all of the leftovers before tomorrow but it looks like I will be successful…only two more bowls of homemade soup to go…and, with that…I think I’ll go have soup…
November 27th
Well…it was another lazy day yesterday and I just didn’t feel like doing anything..so, I didn’t…did do a mini “Dexter” marathon and that was fun since I don’t really remember seeing them when they were new…slept okay but woke up with my right big toe hurting and I think I may have kept it flexed all night just like I have been clenching my teeth…have to stop doing that…and, I am still sore all over except my legs and I am at a loss to know what that is about…can you get sore everywhere just from sleeping? Not much to do today…I do have to get the turkey in the brine this morning…am using apple and apple-cranberry juice for the liquid this year…have been using orange juice but last years turkey was sub-par so I thought I’d change it up…other than that, I am going to go back to “Dexter” today for more and just veg it out until cocktails later….more later…
November 26th
Well…it was just another day yesterday and I didn’t get much done but I really don’t have much to get done so that’s okay….slept okay and didn’t get up until after 7 so I guess I needed it…there were dreams but they were pretty amorphous so I can’t report on them…..I did just get back from the final grocery run before the holiday but I forgot potatoes so I may have to go back tomorrow….did get to try out the summer tires on snow and they are not terrible…I am still going to put the Blizzaks on since I did paint the wheels and they have one more winter in them….not much to do today…just going to work out but no bike ride since it is slick and I don’t want to fall off and break myself….more later…
November 24th
Well…it was a disappointing day yesterday with both Michigan and the Wings losing and the Dr. Who 50th anniversary special being less than stellar….I did get the couch torn apart and cleaned so that was something…but that was about it for the day…I think I may have to put a new thermostat in the car since it just doesn’t seem to have the heat it had last year…but, that is pretty easy so no big deal…or, it could be that it is 17 degrees outside….slept okay but still feel like crap today and I am really tired of it…it may be a new bug on top of the old one….not much to do today…I do get to watch the last formula 1 race this morning and then the Lions…after than, it looks like just another veg day for me….more later…
November 23rd
Well…running as normal today since it is only 9…had an okay day yesterday but didn’t do much…even took the day off the bike and my legs are thanking me…and it looks like I’ll be off it for another couple of days with it being so cold…maybe if it gets sunny I can go out but I am not going to beat myself up if I don’t…I did have to adjust the calories I took in but I think I may have re-think that…don’t want to start the winter weight gain yet but 1200 cals is just not enough for me to feel good…slept okay and the ibuprofen seems to be helping the elbow so things are looking up…it is going to be a less boring day today with lots of sports…Michigan, State, and the Wings all play today and there is the Dr. Who special on around 3 so I will have things to do…I am going to clean too, and do laundry etc. so I can at least keep busy and keep the boredom at bay…no cooking today since there are leftovers and I need to make sure I have all of the food gone before thurs….more later…
November 22nd
Well…it was just another day yesterday and nothing happened…to me anyway…and that is what my life is like now…slept okay but no dreams…that’s getting repetitive, too….running late…that’s getting repetitive, too….oh, well…didn’t do much yesterday but get the bike ride in and got some cleaning done…and that looks like the same for today…other than pool, that is…the Wings finally won a game last night and that was cool…not much to do today…I’m just not feeling this right now so I am going to go finish the coffee and look at the radar to see if I can get out on the bike…might be nice to take the day off from riding since the lack of music is pretty de-motivating….only got out the door yesterday before the thing died…I am starting to think I may have been taken by the joint in Hong Kong that I bought the battery from since it’s been two weeks and it is still not here…oh, well…
November 21st
Well…it was just another normal day yesterday but the boredom was cut by the Doctor Who marathon that was on BBC…slept okay but tossed and turned all night…there were some dreams but I don’t remember them…well.. some of them…big old houses, lots of water leaks and weird people…and, as you can see, I am here early today since I just felt like doing this now instead of later…I am starting to feel like the bug is leaving…as it should be after 3 weeks but the lungs are still a little bit of a problem…still waiting for the battery to come for the walkman and I am now moving from irritated to pissed….I am so tired of only having 4 songs on the ride…not much to do today…I do have to make a short grocery run here in a few minutes but I do need to try to not spend much…haven’t made any cash in a month so brokeness is fast approaching…more later…
November 20th
Well…running really late this morning and the reason is that I just forgot to do this one…did a long one over at Kos and then straight into the workout…and the power went out, and the dog ate my homework….heard enough excuses yet? It was an okay day yesterday but didn’t get much accomplished….the Doctor Who marathon on BBC is drawing me in and I just did some vegging…oh, one last excuse…when the power went out, I restarted the computer and it had 27 programs to update and that takes forever…slept okay and had weird dreams about Singapore…yep, strange to me, too….my elbow seems to be getting more sore as the weeks go on and I am getting really tired of it….can barely pick anything up if I have to squeeze it…maybe I’m just getting old…not much to do today…I am going to wait a while to go out on the bike since my hands and feet got really cold yesterday…and, I’ve got the whole day so what’s the rush? Should clean some but I don’t want to do the kitchen until after thanksgiving since I will make a huge mess…more later…
November 19th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday…didn’t get much done but I did have a nice HH with T that lasted a few hours and it was nice to get caught up and have an adult conversation….slept really crappy again and I have to remember to turn the heat down at night….no dreams but lots of tossing and turning and I am getting frustrated again….I did get started on getting the new printer set up…well.. I took it out of the box and started to read the instructions….looks like a neat little unit for 35 bucks…and I got the papers recycled so the room looks less crowded…not much to do today…I do need to get back on the bike since I took the day off yesterday with the wind blowing so hard….I ca take the cold but not the wind….more later…
