March 7th

Well…it was another day yesterday…not too interesting but okay…I did lose at pool again but that is okay, too…it was close but no cigar….I did sleep okay and had dreams that included big trucks, lots of snow, and parties…and T was in it, too, but I can’t remember anyone’s role….I did get the top down on the car out and back yesterday so I do have my March day in already and that takes the pressure off…I do need to do the grocery run this morning and then come back here for more resumes! That was supposed to be sarcastic…hope it came through that way….it’s just that the frustration with not hearing a thing from anyone is getting to be a bit much…I did win some tickets to see a Zep cover band next week at the Intersection and since it’s free, I’ll be going…not sure who with yet….finally something to look forward to…more later…

Can’t find any outrage..

Well…I have been sitting here for a while now trying to find a topic and work up some outrage to fuel the writing but I’m just not having any luck…that seems to be the pattern to my life lately and it is getting frustrating to keep on trying and trying and getting no results…kind of like the job search…there just seems to be this huge weight sitting on me that I can’t get out from under and even driving the car is not helping at all…so, what to do? Not sure….I’m sure cocktails are not the answer…and riding the bike used to be but the weather is just not cooperating…I used to know that if I could just hibernate, things would be okay…well…need to get ready to go shoot pool….

March 6th

Well…another bore of a day but I did get the surfaces cleaned in the kitchen so I feel okay about that…and it is nice to have a semi cleaned kitchen…slept okay last night even without cocktails so maybe I’ve turned the corner on that….but, I was still up early and think that maybe 6 hours or so is enough for me…I did read a study that people that sleep less than 7 a night have all kinds of hormonal changes that are similar to being under stress all the time and I do feel that way…but that has been my whole life so the damage is done….I should wash the car today to get the salt off and since it is already over freezing, I may be able to do it…have to find two more quarters, though, since I have no cash….not much to do today…have to keep being good since I do feel much better…and I should clean the bathroom…but, who knows….

March 5th

Well…another just normal day but I am getting started early today so that’s something, isn’t it? Oh, the normal day was yesterday, not sure what today is going to be but I can guess that it will be more of the same…slept okay last night even with being good but I was still up at 5:30 and I should have somewhere to go…but no luck yet on the resumes…okay, not going to think about that right now…Looks like a huge storm is going to miss us to the west and I am really ready for winter to be over….but, we will get some snow here so I guess I just have to suck it up and take it…not much to do today….just the normal stuff…but I do need to clean the kitchen and make it presentable to me….more later…

March 4th

Well…running really late on a Monday and it is just from the depression..or maybe the cocktails? Nope, just don’t feel like doing anything right now and that is bleeding over into this now…it was an okay day yesterday and I got a couple of photos from T in Atlanta that brightened it quite a bit but I think that just brought it up to tolerable…the Wings lost which dampened it back down after that…okay…need to work out….then I’ll be back later…

Okay…just finished up working out and feel somewhat better…I have been having fun with the posters out on Miata.net…never knew there were so may weird people in the world but I guess the definition of a Miata owner is that they are somewhat weird…just like me…I am getting really frustrated with the job search and, as you can see, it is bleeding through here and makes my brain feel like it doesn’t work too well anymore…so, I’m going to go read the online papers and try to get it to shut off for a while…

March 3rd

Well…it was another long day yesterday…kind of getting to be the new normal and I’m sure I don’t like it much…I am running late today since I wanted to get the coffee and paper done first and I did…so now it’s time for this. there was a funny thing that happened during the Man U match yesterday…one of the commentators, Ian Darke, mentioned Grand Rapids during the game…not sure why he knows that GR exists but I thought it was pretty cool….Slept okay, I think…but I’m not sure…and no dream at all…crap…it was kind of fun hearing from T from Atlanta yesterday and having a nice running text conversation….didn’t expect to hear from her until she gets back into town….not much to do today….looks like a sports day with the Wings, a race, and then Michigan and MSU playing later in the day…so that will be it…total veg with sports…more later…

March 2nd

Well…sitting here waiting for the ice to melt off the car and thought I’d get an early start today…for a weekend, that is….it was a cocktail night last night so I’m a little cloudy right now…and it was a long day yesterday with trying hard to keep the boredom at bay was hard work but I survived it…and today looks like another one but there are sports to help…Man U plays this morning and then there is a race…nope, two races on this aft so I may be able to get through it…I’ll be back in a while to add to this one…need to go to Meijers to get food and cocktail materials…

Okay…the third cup of coffee has worked wonders and I feel almost human…slept okay last night but no dreams to speak of but that is okay since none of them have been very fun lately….I am just getting tired of waiting for spring to come and the trails to melt so I can get back on the bike…I think my body misses the abuse and I know I miss the fresh air and exercise….and I feel fat with the 10 pounds I’ve gained….all that on 1200 calories a day…weird…okay…Man U is starting and I need to see it…more later…oh, one last thing…T is leaving for Atlanta for a few days and I am going to miss the texts we send every day…she sure keeps my spirits up….

One other good thing…just found out that Ian Darke and Steve Macmanaman are doing the match this morning! It’s like listening to Ken and Mickey do the Wings….

March 1st

Well…it is the first of the month and I just hate these days…oh, said that in the last one…and it was a cocktail night last night so I feel crappy this morning and not very lucid so this one is going to be short…slept okay…I think, but who can tell when there are cocktails involved? Okay…as always, not feeling it right now so I think I’ll go back to the couch and have some more water…

Okay…back for a few…feeling much better and came across the movie “Airport” on AMC this morning…I think it’s dating me but I saw this 1970 movie in the theater when it came out…kind of soapy but I think it’s still a good movie and is making the transition into the day a little easier…not much to do today…I am going to do a total veg out today just hang out here and watch movies…so there is not much to talk about right now…I will be back later for another one…don’t want to get behind for the month and I do need content for my DailyKos account…

Last one for the month…

Well…even though I’m ahead by two for the month, I felt like I wanted to come back for a recap…maybe not a recap but just to muse a little…it has been a frustrating week and, as you know, the last day of the month is one of the worst ones for me since I have to pay the rent tomorrow…so, it is going to be a cocktail night tonight to try to shut the brain off for just a little while…and as a reward for being good all week…I do think I may need to stop reading the Miata forums since there are people talking about all of the failures in their cars…it makes it look like the Miata is the least reliable car that has ever been built and give me just a few more things to worry about that I don’t need right now…and, mine is reliable, now. But, the forums do help me pass the time and keep the crushing boredom at bay so I guess I’ll just have to take them with a grain of salt…and, no one writes to the forums to say that nothing has failed so I have to remember that….and, they like my car so that reinforces how much I like it. I have also been spending time out on DailyKos but I’m not sure how long that is going to last…it is nice to have like-minded individuals to talk and listen to but I would like some reasoned argument for the other side once in a while…okay…that’s it, it’s not cocktail time yet but it’s only 45 minutes to go and I guess I can amuse myself until 7….

February 28th

Well…it was a long day yesterday and I lost a pool but really can’t feel bad about it with the run of wins I’ve had….and I did sleep okay but really short again but I think that may be what has been wrong lately…I just need to let the natural sleep patterns take hold again and not feel bad when I sleep 4-5 hours a night…doesn’t work when I force it so let’s try something different…I am ready for the snow to be over so I can get back on the bike and get the toxins out…I am getting really bored with the nothing that has been going on lately and I need to think of some new techniques to help alleviate it…not sure what those would be but I think it’s worth some thought anyway…not much to do today….I do need to make the grocery run but that is about it….more later…
