December 4th

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…

December 3rd

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…

No politics again…

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…

December 2nd

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…

December 1st

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….

November 30th

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…

November 29th

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…

Nothing much to say…

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….

November 28th

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…
