Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I did a total veg so today will have to be different…there are spiders in the bathroom again and it needs to be cleaned…so, I am going to try to get that done today….slept okay last night but still have a bug that is bothering me and I am tired of it…it seems I have been sick most of this winter…just low grade stuff but still annoying….I did get the chance to watch the movie “Flight” last night and I came away a little confused about what the point of it was…will still have to think about it…it looks like a good sports day today with Michigan, the Wings, and the super bowl on today…so, maybe I’ll clean the bathroom tomorrow? Not much to do today…going to have another cup of coffee and stare at the tv for a few the try to get on with the day…more later….

Well…a thought came to me last night but I thought I’d wait til today to get it down, especially since it was a cocktail night and sometimes those ideas aren’t quite as good as they appear at the time. With being broke and unemployed for so long, I think I have almost forgotten that there are other lives out there…and that other people are happy, successful, and smiling…I seem to have fallen into the trap of seeing everything through the lens of my situation..which is really not too happy right now. I have forgotten how to smile, I think, and to understand that there could be better times ahead…not sure if there are, but could be…and I have to explore and understand this fact, to see life through a new lens that puts unemployment and lack of money in the back for a while…not sure how it will go but there’s nothing to lose to try it…might even be fun…

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I lost at pool but had fun so that was cool…and, it was a cocktail night last night so I feel a little crappy today but that’s okay…have already been out to get what groceries I needed and now I am hunkered down here for the day as the snow starts…supposed to get almost 8 inches today and I just don’t want to see it anymore…slept okay last night but I am sore almost everywhere and I can’t figure that out…both elbows especially so I guess I need to take something for it…not much to do today…I am going to clean today…maybe…but first I need to have my second cup of coffee and hit the couch for a while….more later…oh, I do have a second one for the day that came to me last night but I wanted to save it for this month…

Well…it was a long day yesterday but there wasn’t anything in particular that made it that way…maybe it just felt that way? Didn’t do much but clean a little and get rid of the papers and I think I’m finally over feeling guilty about it….slept okay last night but I know I’m down on calories for the day so I’m running a little low on energy…so, it’s a good thing that it’s Friday and I don’t have to work out today….it looks like another semi veg day today but there is pool so that will be something to look forward to…I think the clutch may be going hinky on the car again..felt a little weird going out for the papers this morning but maybe it’s just that it isn’t below zero…hope so…more later…

Well…running early today and it is probably because I woke up really early…and there is nothing else to do until I go to the grocery store…a 15 minute window that I thought I’d use…it was an okay day yesterday and I got a start on the kitchen…need to finish it up today and get on the bathroom…probably should get on the leaning tower of papers but the snow piles are so high I may not be able to get to the recycling bin….slept okay last night even with another no cocktail night and I am really starting to enjoy having energy when I get up in the morning…and, for the first time since November, there is no snow on the car this morning…not even any frost but I’m still going to warm it up since it will frost over as soon as I get in it….not much to do today…I do need to clean and write some but that is about it….I do need to find some things to do to beat back the boredom….more later…

Well…have only been up for about a half hour and I am already bored,,,and my router is going brain dead that is starting to get irritating…have had to unplug it twice in the past two days to get it to recognize that it is supposed to be working….oh, well….at least it’s not 5 below this morning and that is something…I did have to go out and run an errand yesterday and the roads are still ridiculously slippery with the salt not working…and I am at the end of my tolerance of the cold and snow…might have to start having cocktails again just to survive it…slept okay last night but no dreams to speak of…I even skipped the SOTU speech last night which is not normal for me…I usually love that political stuff but not now, just don’t really care….not much to do today…I am going to clean some but I can feel the day is going to be an almost total loss…but I am going to try to do something….not sure what that will be yet…more later…

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…

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…

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….

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…
