December 18th

Well…it was a busy day yesterday and I did get a bunch of stuff done so that was okay…and I was good last night so I feel okay today…and it looks like a busy day again around here with some work to get done….I just realized I didn’t come back for a second one so that means two more for today but, as always, I have no clue what the topics will be…I did get three resumes out yesterday and hope to get a few more out today….it would sure be cool to get a bite and find a job….but, I still do need to have coffee and we are getting to that point…going to have to use change to buy the papers today since I have no cash at all in my pocket….which is kind of weird….but I will probably live through it…more later….

Okay….just a short update…one of the guys that work here just brought me a grill that had been abandoned by a tenant that had moved out….can’t be much more than a year old and is in great shape…just need to clean it up a bit…he is even bringing me a big tank for it tomorrow….doesn’t take much to make me happy…

December 17th

Well…it was another bore of a day yesterday and that is starting to get old…didn’t do much but hang out and watch the Lions stink up the place again….and without hockey, there are no teams from around here that are any good…oh, well… I did sleep okay and with being good I feel okay today…I did spend my last two dollars on the paper yesterday so it looks like I’ll have to dig through the change drawer for today’s….or, I guess I could skip the papers and save the money….I’m even down to my last coffee filter but I do need my coffee….okay…going to start getting the change ready and make coffee…more later….

December 16th

Well…running late as always on Sunday and I blame it on the paper and the fact I stayed up late watching concert videos and having cocktails…so, needless to say, I feel a little crappy today but the coffee is starting to help…if it stops raining, I may even get out on the bike in shorts today…that will have to be the extent of things today since I spent the last 2 bucks I had on the paper this morning…so it looks like a week of laying low…and that’s not a bad thing…and we are halfway through December with no snow storms so that is a good thing, too….slept okay last night but I was up late and up early so there may have to be a nap involved sometime today…and some cleaning since I have been lazy….more later…

December 15th

Well…still reeling from the tragedy in CT and that makes being broke and unemployed seem kind of trivial….I did get the chance to meet up with C for a couple last night and I drove the car across town on the e-way with no smell and I am starting to think that they may have fixed the car….I did check the coolant levels yesterday and it is still full but I am going to continue to check it periodically for the next couple of weeks…I did wash the car and it just looks pretty cool with the black wheels….that’s the last time I’ll mention that…didn’t sleep well at all last night…right back to where I was a couple of weeks ago and that is frustrating to say the least….but, it’s not like I’m not used to it…not much to do today…going to get out on the bike but that will have to wait until Man U plays at 10…no hurry today….

December 14th

Well…it was an interesting day yesterday but I lost at pool, again, and that is starting to irk me somewhat…well…not really….I did have fun meeting up with K for a couple and having a good talk….and I think the car may be fixed but I still can’t bring myself to lift the hood to check…I haven’t smelled any coolant for the last day or so but that may be that there isn’t any in it….I guess I’ll have to check it today….or maybe I’ll wait until Monday so I can have a weekend not thinking about the car…I did have the top down on the way out an back to Cascade yesterday and the stocking hat really helped keeping my ears from freezing…so, I’m leaving one in the car so I’ll have it when the mood strikes me to look like an idiot…I do like the badass look of the black wheels and the bigger tires and I can even take off in the wet without spinning the rears….oh, slept like crap last night and I’m not sure why…had a run of almost a week where it was okay and I can’t pinpoint anything that changed so I am just chalking it up to the vagaries of age….not much to do today…C might be in town later and I may meet up with him for a couple later and I do need to wash the salt off the car…but that is about it….more later…

December 13th

Well..running really late today and there is a reason for it…not sure if it is a good reason but I stayed up late watching the concert and had one too many cocktails so I do feel like crap today…I did have a fun happy hour with T yesterday and we laughed so much…certainly a highlight of my week….I slept okay last night with the combo of the melatonin and cocktails but there were no dreams to speak of that I can remember…I do think the car rides much worse with the snowies on it but that might be pressure so I’ll have to check that later today…and I do have things to do today…out to shoot pool in the aft then HH with K later…but I am so broke that I am going to have to skip the papers tomorrow….oh, well…I will be back for more later but I do need to work out and get the bike ride in this morning…

December 12th

Well…it was and okay day yesterday and the melatonin is working quite well, I think…much less tossing and turning but I still feel a little tired when I get up….other than that, it was a boring day and i didn’t accomplish much….today should be different with the grocery run first, a workout, putting the snowies on the car, getting a bike ride in and then meeting up with T for a couple….I am still quite depressed that I haven’t gotten a resume response in over 6 months…not sure why that is but I guess I need to figure something else out….I’m not sure what that is yet….more later…

Okay…just had to do a quick comment on the car…with the winter tires and flat black wheels it looks pretty badass….finally, something to make me smile….

November 11th

Well…just a quick one before I get going to take the car in, again, it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t really do much….so, I have to make up for that today….errands to run and work to do around here…I hope the car only takes three hours or so…more than that and I think the boredom of waiting will just about kill me…more later…

Okay…just got back and I’m not sure if the car is fixed yet…still smell coolant but that could be from spills when they were working on it…I am going to be really pissed if it is still leaking and I paid 200 bucks to repair something that wasn’t leaking…at least it was 90 bucks less than they estimated and it took an hour less to get it done…why can’t anyone do anything right the first time?

December 10th

Well…feeling like crap today and there is only one reason…but, tonight will be different so that is something to look forward to…I did win at pool yesterday so that is a plus….but I am still suffering from the malaise that I am in the grips of and even this is a monumental effort…so, I am going to go have coffee and read the papers and then come back for more…

Okay..back for a few…a little disappointed that lunch with T got canceled but I didn’t have any cash anyway so the few bucks I have in my pocket can stay there….and I can just stay here and lick the wounds a little…slept okay last night and I think it just may be the earplugs…I should put the snowies on the car but it looks like it will be nicer later in the week so I’ll just wait until then…not much to do today…I do have to get caught up here and now have to figure out what to have for lunch….but that will be later….right now it’s water and a little work…

December 9th

Well…just sitting here waiting for the Manchester Derby to start and thought I’d get this one done….it was a day yesterday and didn’t get the car fixed since the part is not here yet…but, that’s no big deal….I did have an okay day yesterday once I got back home but didn’t do much…haven’t been on the bike in three days and I think it’s part of the whole malaise that I have been feeling lately…will probably not go out again today since it is going to be so cold and the wind is already blowing about 15…not much to do today…I may be shooting pool but that will be determined by how much coolant the car is losing…will check that in a while but right now, the match is on…
