Well…I had a somewhat fun day yesterday and I want the fun to continue today…I did have the top down coming back from Meijers so that’s a good start…I could live with this weather all winter but the depression is coming back with it getting cold again starting tomorrow…I am going to get out on the bike in shorts today and I have to remember that it is not summer and to enjoy the ride, not just endure it as happens sometimes in the summer…..but, right now, the coffee is done and I do want to read the papers and watch the rest of the match…more later…

Well…as I said earlier, I am considering a change to the subject of the posts here but I am such a political junkie that, realistically, politics will always be a subject here. But, I think I am going to give myself a break from the requirement of having to do a topical one every day…so, I did want to do just a short one on the day I’ve had so far…it was really cool to hear from T this morning and that she did get through her interview….and I did get out on the bike today with the legs feeling supercharged after having three weeks off…I’ll probably do 30 miles tomorrow since the weather is going to go downhill after then….I did get out for a drive with the top down, too, and it was not too bad…not cold at all with the heater on…even took some photos to post to the MOMM site…okay…not feeling it right now…I’ll try to come back for another one later….

Well..it was another day yesterday and I won at pool so that was good but it was just a little too cold to put the top down…but today is different…I am going out on the bike in shorts in a few minutes and then taking a cruise in the car with the top down later in the day…and it looks like tomorrow will be warm enough to go out again…yay….I do need to get some stuff done around here today but that is going to take a back seat to having some fun…and I do need to acknowledge that I am running late today and the reason is that I have been doing some thinking about a format change here…I have been harping on the political stuff for too long and I just might shift over to some philosophical musings for a while…after all, that is why I started doing this in the first place…more later…

Well…sitting here waiting for the dish to complete a scan that I have never seen before and i have no faith that it will work after it’s done….kind of par for the course with me lately and even that is starting to get old…it was an okay day yesterday and I did take the bike out but only got about a mile before the ice and snow on the trial got too deep…I’m hoping that the warm rain on Friday will melt it enough so I can get a whole ride in…I do need the exercise…it looks like tomorrow will be a top down day and I am looking forward to it….slept okay last night but I think the melatonin is starting to not work too well…damn….but, I guess I’ll live through it….I so need to make a grocery run today and it will be nice to have some different food to eat for a change….other than that, not much to do today….I am still working on getting the kitchen cleaned but still looking for the motivation to do it….maybe today…more later…

Well…another day of hibernation here and guess what? I’m still broke….I did sleep okay last night and I think the being good is a good thing with how I feel this morning…I will be able to pay the phone bill today (only one day late) with an emergency deposit into the account….I may even be able to get out on the bike today since it is already 40 degrees and that is plenty warm in full therma suit…just hope the trails have melted enough…and it does look like I will be putting the top down on the car Friday and Saturday with it getting to be around 50…and I do need to take pictures to post on the MOMM site….not much to do today….I do have to do kitchen surfaces and a few other things around here but that is about it…more later….

Okay…waiting for the coffee to finish and thought I’d come back here for a minute…it is already pretty nice outside and I really like these kinds of winters where is there is very little snow…I know, it’s only the first week of Jan but every day without a snowstorm is one day closer to spring…a weird thought for someone used to Michigan winters but I just don’t need another reason to be depressed…there are too may already….more later…again…

Well…it has been a weird day…miscalculated how much cash I had left in the checking account and now can’t pay the phone bill today….looks like it will have to wait until tomorrow….I’m starting to get real tired of being broke…I did have dreams last night and the funny thing was they were filled with Miatas that were the same color of mine…which is not likely since, in the 6 months I’ve owned it, I’ve not seen another one in Laguna Blue….In another sign that Obama hatred is still running strong with the repubs, the right is going crazy with the nomination of Hagel for sec def…a republican hawk and they can’t support him? The repubs are still in “defeat Obama at any cost” mode….and I think he should translate the hate into never negotiating with those thugs…I’m not sure I’m excited about the NHL coming back…it is my favorite sport but I’m used to not having it and the short season should have an asterisk next to it….and now Homer is retiring and I’m going to miss him…..I am a little curious with how the team is going to look with all of the new Wings…okay, that’s it for now….too depressed to continue to think…

Well…it was another day yesterday but I did have a little fun with going out to have a couple with G but that put me back to completely broke again so this week looks like laying low here and not much else….there is a free movie weekend on HBO this weekend so that will help ease the boredom and I did make real popcorn in a pan last night with real butter…can’t figure out why I have been making microwave stuff for so long…it’s expensive and I think the pan stuff tastes better….not much to do today…and that is true this time…I even have to drink tea today since I’m out of coffee and broke…oh, well…maybe I’ll get out on the bike or start the new novel….who knows…

Well…running really, really, late today and it was almost like I forgot to come here and do this…and that would be weird with all of the time I’ve spent here over the past few years…it was an okay day yesterday but I lost at pool, badly, just couldn’t get in synch and that is continuing today for some reason….I did sleep okay last night and didn’t even get up until almost 8 which is weird in itself…and I had dreams that I was really hated by everyone for reasons that were never revealed to me…I wonder if that is real? I did have to go out to get batteries for the remotes and I also bought real butter and popcorn to try to save some money but have snacks since I know I’m not eating enough….okay…I need to get a workout in before 11 so I need to get going…I will be back later for more…

Well…running late again this morning and this time it’s by choice…I chose to read the papers and have my coffee first and I don’t feel bad about it….it was a nice day yesterday with getting out for a while over to J and K’s and having some drinks and homemade sushi that J made…it was pretty frickin good and it was just nice to get out of here for a while…and then I broke down and had cocktails last night so that might be another reason I’m running late…but, I really don’t need a reason, do I? I did get the bathroom cleaned yesterday and it is surfaces in the kitchen for today if I feel like it but not much else to do today…Man U played yesterday so there are just second tier teams to watch today and I guess I’ll just use it as background noise as I re-read the papers later….but, I need more coffee right now so that is what I’m going to do…I will be back for more later…maybe…

Well..Sitting here waiting for the car to thaw so I can go out for the papers and thought I’d get this done before that happens….it was a day yesterday and I had a little money so I actually bought food for the first time in two weeks and I am looking forward to cooking again…I do need to get going, though, since the under 20 hockey world championships are on in a couple of minutes and the USA is playing and that goes with Many U playing right after so the morning is pretty much covered…I am trying to re-use the coffee grounds from yesterday in an austerity experiment since they were still in the coffee maker and I’m not a coffee snob…just as long as all of the caffeine is not gone, it might be okay…more later…
