Well…not really running late since it is the weekend but I feel like I am….just finished the paper and I’m working on my second cup of coffee while I root against Chelsea and try to feel better after a cocktail night. I am so disappointed in the Wings that I think I’ll just not watch them anymore…after all, I’m already used to not seeing them so it won’t be too big of a deal…I am going to have to hibernate for a few days here with the cold weather coming along with 3-6 inches of snow overnight….it is January in Michigan so I’m pretty used to it after so many years…and, it has not been a bad winter so far so I shouldn’t bitch too much….I did sleep okay and I think it is the earplugs that I have been using….not much to do today…don’t have to cook since I did that yesterday..oh, just remembered Man U is playing in a while so that will be cool…and the weather in England is almost as bad as it is here…cold and snow…so that will be neat to watch…

Well…it was a day yesterday…not much else to say for it but I guess it’s okay…I am sore from walking the bike back when it died on me and I think it’s weird that walking just two miles did such a number on my legs…didn’t sleep well at all last night and I may have to use the last melatonin tonight just to try to sleep a little…and I am running late today as always, and I’m not going to apologize for it this time…it’s normal for a cocktail night….I am a little out of sorts today since there was only one paper to buy and that is just not enough for me to get the brain running…so I guess I’ll have to read the online papers early…I am a little excited that the Wings are starting tonight and I have to get my Hank shirt out to make it official….okay…need to read more papers so I can get the cobwebs out….

Well…it was a long day yesterday and I am running late because of it…and, it didn’t help that it was a cocktail night and the depression from spending 100 bucks yesterday just piled on the top if it….so if I’m not too lucid today I do have a pretty good excuse…I did think that karma had gotten back at me this morning when I went out to get the papers…when I stopped at the store and parked the car, a light was on on the dash that, with my just up eyes, I thought was the check engine light…but, when I got back in the car, it was just the light for the handbrake…yay for that….It would just be too much to have the car and the bike down at the same time…not much to do today…I am contemplating skipping working out this morning but I know the guilt will be too much since I’ve already gained almost 10 pounds without riding the bike…yeah, that is adding to the malaise that I am feeling but I am down to 1,000 calories a day and can’t go lower without some health effects….oh, well….

Well…today has been one of those days where you just shake your head, smile, and marvel at how things work. It started out fine with getting out to get groceries and coming back here to work out…then, the sun came out and that little thing spurred me to get out on the bike to try to get some exercise…and set the rest of the day in motion. First, I get out about 2 miles and the bike starts to act a little weird and all of a sudden the chain breaks and I’m left to walk it back the two miles into a 15 mile an hour wind…when I got back, I went over and spent 21 bucks on a new chain that installed quite easily. Then, I got back out on the bike to test it and found that the broken chain (or wear) had torn the rear shifter up so it wouldn’t hold in any gear….so, I had to get online and spend another 27 bucks to buy a new one…I guess that 14,000 miles is not bad for the shifter or chain so I shouldn’t bitch too much….but, after removing the old shifter, all of the grease and dirt that had collected over the years fell off and some of it stuck to the bottom of my foot and I tracked the sticky, black, crap all over my place and had to spend an hour getting it out of the carpet and off my floors. So, after all that, I am really looking forward to a cocktail and some relaxing tonight…at least the car is running great….for now.

Oh, one last thing I forgot…while I was working on the shifter, I jabbed a spring all the way through my finger…in and out and it is still bleeding 3 hours later….but, other than that, not that bad of a day…I did get my fridge cleaned, too…

Well…it was a day yesterday and I won at pool so that was okay…and I slept okay…well…it was tolerable anyway so I thought I’d get this one done before I get ready to go get some groceries…I am feeling so much like a slug with not being able to get out on the bike that I think I’ll go out today even if it’s snowing…and I think I’m going to start the new novel today…have been kicking the idea around for a while now and I need to give it a shot just to get my brain working again if for nothing else…and I do need to clean the fridge today since it is starting to look like a garage fridge and that just won’t cut it….okay…need to make the coffee and get ready to get the groceries…more later…

Well…it was a day yesterday and I had a little fun going out to hang with G for a couple and watching the Wings scrimmage on tv….and T is back in town so things are right again…I did sleep okay even without the Melatonin last night so I may try to go without it and just see how it will be…I was up at 5:30, though, so there may be a nap in the future since I didn’t get to sleep until about 1 or so…and Man U plays this aft to stay in the FA cup so that will be something to do…there was a weird smell coming from the car when I got home last night so I do need to check that out today…it could have been from another car…at least I hope it was…I guess I’ll find out this morning…not much to do today…I do need to get the summer clothes put away finally and get out some of the warmer stuff since there is a big cold spell coming later in the week….more later….

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but didn’t accomplish much…and I was good last night so today is starting out better already…it looks like it is cold outside so it will be a warm up day for the car…and I am running out of dimes so it looks like I may have to start using my debit card to buy the papers which I just don’t want to do…don’t want to go to nickles…60 nickles? Nope…not going to do that….but I’m not spending any other money so I could probably afford 3 bucks on the card a day….and I don’t want to give up the last thing that makes my life have a semblance of normalcy…not much to do today…I do need to get back into the fitness routine and get some cleaning done…and get rid of the papers, again…but that is about it…I will be back later for another one if I can get my brain working better…

Well…it was a bore of a day yesterday but Man U won so that was okay…and I am running late today just like a weekend day and the reason is that it was a cocktail night and I just haven’t been feeling it yet today…I did sleep okay but no dreams but who cares? I do feel a little crappy today and might even skip the workout this morning and just watch a movie….other than that, not much to do today…the car was an ice block this morning and it was a pain to get the door open but that thawed so it’s okay…I will be back later for a political one or something else…

Okay…starting to get off the mark and feel better but I’m still not motivated for some strange reason…well..the reason is clear to me but I don’t want to whine about it here so I won’t…I am going to do a political one right now so wait a couple of minutes and it will be done….

Well…it was a day yesterday that really didn’t have anything memorable in it…I’m even having a hard time remembering what I had to eat…so, is it my memory or is it that the days are still running together? Who knows? I am watching the Man U match right now and they are up 1-0 over Liverpool which is unusual for this year…they are normally playing from behind this year so this is a pleasant surprise…not much to do today…it looks like a soccer day and continuing to clean the kitchen that I started on yesterday and watching for the freezing rain that is supposed to happen later….wow….that just reminded me of “Dark Side of the Moon”…the same phrase was used in “Time”…how lame is that? For me, that is…not the song…

Well…just sitting here waiting for cocktail time to come and thought I’d sit down here for a few minutes and try to be lucid…as you know, that’s been a little difficult for me lately and I think it’s being so broke…but, I’m going to try to not let that affect me as much…I have been easily distracted today with having HBO and Cinemax free previews going on all weekend so I haven’t gotten much done…didn’t even take the car out for a ride since I need the gas to warm it up if the weather gets as nasty as it’s supposed to and after taking it out yesterday, the point was kind of moot….I do like the car better with the top down, though….okay…this day just seems to be a total waste so I guess I’ll just give into it and look forward to Man U in the morning…
