December 23rd

Well….it was another disappointing day yesterday with the Lions playing the worst game I’ve seen all year….and another year not making the playoffs….50 some years and counting for a championship…slept okay last night but I am depressed mightily about being broke…not much I can do about that, though….other than the game, it was a really, really boring day yesterday and I didn’t accomplish much other than getting the ice off the car…the weather has me down some with the snow piles getting so high that I can’t see over them in the car and the incessant cold is just a bit much…oh, well…not much I can do about that, either…not much to do today…I am going to clean some and that’s about it…I do need some topics so I am going to go back to the papers to try something new…more later…

One last thing..forgot to talk about the power outages around here…the church right behind me has been out since Sat…and T’s has been out since the same…mine blinked a little yesterday but it never went out…maybe something to smile about…

More filler….

Okay…just did this one to see if the counts are correct…can’t remember how I got two behind….thought I’d done enough to get caught up the past couple of days…oh, well….just haven’t had anything to say really…and I’m not sure why that is….maybe I should write about the “war” on Christmas? Just can’t figure out why these so-called christians feel so put upon this time of the year just because some people say happy holidays instead of merry christmas…..and the whole damn society celebrates their holiday even atheists…so what are they bitching about? Of course, it just going to be wednesday to me and I may not even cook this year…maybe just some venison tacos…I did get the the half inch of ice off the car…but I don’t have anywhere to go so that’s kind of a moot point…geez…now I’m just rambling…so, I think I’ll stop…more later…

December 22nd

Well…it was just another day yesterday and I did get a little work done so I feel good about that…but, I didn’t feel good about getting up to a car with 3/8 of an inch of ice on it…need to go out in a minute and try to get the rest of the ice chipped off so I can get the headlights to open…slept okay, I think, but don’t really remember…I was up early again today and that is getting to be a pain…did have a weird thing happen at FF this morning…going through the self checkout, I put a 10 in and got 16 dollars back from buying my 2 dollar paper…now, if it was a real person doing the checkout, I would have noticed and given the extra cash back…but, to have to go through talking to the person at the counter and explaining just wasn’t going to happen…it was hard enough just getting the ice off the car and driving over there…not much to do today….just a veg day it looks like with the Lions coming on later….more later…

Okay…just one filler…

Well…haven’t really been thinking of any topics today but I know I have to do another one today so I guess I’ll just give it a try…probably something I’ll have to do for the next couple of weeks while congress is gone and no one is doing anything stupid for me to comment on…so, here we go…first…the new battery for the walkman is working like new…charged it once Wed and after using it for three days, the indicator still reads full…so that is cool….there is something weird going on with my site that I noticed a couple of days ago…it is underlining some words for a reason I can’t figure out…might have to go into the guts to see what is going on…it has been a lazy day for me but I did get the bathroom done while I wait for State to come on at 4…after that one starts, it will be all sports the rest of the day with Michigan and the Wings playing later…I do hope the storm stays to the south…it has been hard on the Miata with all of the ice…it was so slick going out this morning that it was actually dangerous even with the snowies on….okay, that’s enough for now…

December 21st

Well…it was just another day yesterday and I stayed in since Tom’s back is bad and there was no pool…didn’t mind, though, since I was not really in too social of a mood….so, that meant a day of tv and reading which was okay…slept okay last night but again no dreams to speak of and I was up really early…so, I do feel a little worn out today but I know some of it is from not eating enough…haven’t gotten the no bike calorie intake down yet and it appears it will be a chore….not much to do today…I do need to clean the bathroom and will get on that after I finish my coffee…just not too motivated right now…more later…

December 19th

Well…it was another day yesterday but I did find the new battery for my Walkman buried over at the post office…it had been here for almost a month, came by registered mail so I had to sign for it…and, they were supposed to leave a notice if I wasn’t here but that never happened either…I am also here all the time so there was no reason for them to not knock on my door for the signature…just lazy I guess…but the guy at the battery company was really helpful in finding where it was so that was cool…and now, I have been playing it all day yesterday and today and it hasn’t used any juice…looks like the beat up, old thing will go on for another couple of years…not bad for 14 bucks…I did sleep okay and I may have found the reason for the constant stuffed up head…in cleaning the other day, I found some black mold that was growing on my bedroom window…so, I cleaned that up with a bleach solution and I’ve noticed that I am breathing better in bed…we’ll see…not much to do today…I did buy some ground chuck at the store this morning since I am craving burgers after not having any beef for the past couple of months and that will be lunch for the day…then, I need to clean to at least do something….more later….

December 18th

Well…it was another day yesterday and I only slept about three hours last night so I am tired and grumpy this morning…had some weird dreams that centered on the 4th amendment and police abuses of it that were troubling to say the least..and, I got an e-mail from the battery company that the battery was delivered here on the 23rd of November but it never showed up in my mailbox…so, I have to go up to the office in a few minutes to see if it was left there…and then, over to the post office if it isn’t…the last entry on the tracking said there was a notice left but that never happened so I am a little pissed about that…and the battery is so small that you could put 5 of them in a standard envelope so I’m not sure why they would put it in something that won’t fit in my mailbox…other than that, it was just another boring day in the apt with not a lot to do…I did find some mold that was growing on my bedroom window and cleaned that all up with bleach…wonder if that was why I am so stuffed up all the time? Not much to do today…battery searching and resumes but that is about it…more later…

Okay…here’s an update on the battery situation…finally found it buried in the distribution center over in Kentwood…had to sign for it since it came from Singapore and they think it might be terrorist related….have installed it and it is charging so, so far so good…and it has been charging for a half hour when the old battery showed full charge after 5 minutes…can’t wait to get it back in the car…

December 17th

Well…it was a kind of nice day yesterday with lunch with T and lots of laughs…and more trips down memory lane….we did have fun….slept like crap and up way too early today but there is nothing I can do about that so I won’t think about it…I did scrape together 5 bucks to get in on the Mega for tonight…586 million dollars would be okay and it is fun to have some hope for one day anyway…still feel like I have allergies or something since my head is still plugged up and I am sneezing..don’t feel too bad other than that so I guess I’ll stop complaining….I do have to get some stuff done around here today…need to get the summer wheels cleaned and put away to remove some of the clutter….not much to do today…resumes but that’s about it…only have a buck in my pocket so that keeps me in all day but that’s normal anyway…more later…

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…
