October 31st

Well…it’s been an early morning with getting up around 5 and the crappy sleep again is starting to wear a little but I knew this was going to be a consequence of taking it easy on myself….and even with the little sleep, I still feel better than I did….so, I’ll keep it up for the rest of the week and see where it goes…have been laying low waiting for the new radiator to come and it is funny that I was feeling trapped with being broke last week but I haven’t spent any money this week even with having some…I do need to try to get out of here and do some new stuff and meet some new people…it is getting a little boring being by myself all the time…I may have lunch with T today so that will be fun if it happens…and then I do need to continue the cleaning and writing…I have met the goal for the month with this one but I want to do a couple more today…

October 30th

Well…another no cocktail night and I feel okay this morning…I think skipping the week is going to be good and I even slept okay…only about 5 hours but I guess I’ll take what I can get….I am at this one early today so that is one good thing…I did get the radiator ordered for the car and I really do hope that is where the coolant is going…but, getting it diagnosed would have cost me the same as the new radiator and the old one is pretty gunked up so it will be a benefit no matter what…it should be here Friday so I may even have it fixed by the weekend…the big storm Sandy has arrived here with lots of wind and rain so it looks like no bike ride today…still worried about my son who lives in NYC…talked to him yesterday in the aft and the wind had already gotten to about 40 with gusts of 60…waiting for an update that I hope comes today…not much to do today…it looks like a hibernation day after I go out and get the papers…so, that means I will come back least for at least one more…

October 29th

Well…..it was a day yesterday and I was good last night so I feel okay today…I think it is going to be a week of being good since I do need to take a little rest and take care of myself better…I did win at pool yesterday and broke the losing streak at 5 weeks so that was something…there were some really weird dreams last night that included my roller blades, a covered bridge that turned into a factory, my car in the rain with the top down, and lots of other small details that are already fading….pretty cool, though…and I think the melatonin may have helped…I do have some stuff to do today…did get the check back from the state and need to get it deposited so I’ll have some cash and I need to order the new radiator for the car….other than that, I need to get back on the bike today to see if I have it fixed…and do another one of these…more later…

October 28th

Well…it was another day yesterday but there was some good news in that I got the check from the state I was waiting for and that means I can eat again for a while and get the radiator ordered for the car so I can replace it next week…there was bad news, too with the Tigers losing and I have now officially given up on them for another year…I’m still working on the bike to get the creak out of it since it is so annoying…going to move to the front of it today and lube everything since I did the back earlier…there are still a few points in the rear, too, so I’ll need to get to that before I go out…it’s going to be too cold to go for a while so it will give me something to do….and I will try to come back for another but it is pool day and you know that takes away my desire to write usually…

October 27th

Well…it was a crappy day yesterday but I really can’t comment on why…or, I don’t want to right now so I’ll get on to other things…it was nice to hear Ken and Mickey do a Griffins game last night but the Griffins really looked bad…up 4-1 and then losing 6-4…oh, well…I’m hoping that it warms up enough to get a bike ride in and see if I did get it fixed…I may have to put it on the back of the car and take it to the car wash….slept okay but had dreams of radiators…yeah, you know I’m weird but that one even made me laugh…I am going to come back…maybe right now about the scare tactics that ole Mitt is using in Ohio…

October 26th

Well…it was an okay day but I am not watching the Tigers any more…down 0-2 and I just can’t take it…I did get out in the car for a drive yesterday but made it a short one…just wasn’t feeling that hot and I know it’s from not eating enough…makes me so damn tired that I just want to curl up on the couch…but, yesterday was better and I feel okay today…I may have a lunch with G today but I’m not sure yet…I’m having problems with the bike creaking and I can’t find out where it is and it is driving me crazy…I’ve lubed everything but it’s still there…might have to take the rear shock off and clean it…I will be back later with a political one even though I’m ahead for the month…and I think I’m coming up on number 2,000 of these…and some of them were even good…more later…

October 25th

well…running really, really late today since I just remembered that I didn’t do one of these yet today…it’s been a busy morning with getting a haircut and the normal exercise and I think I’m taking the car out for another drive today since it looks like the last good day….it was an okay day yesterday but the Tigers stunk and I think I’m done watching them for now…I did get a drive in yesterday, too and found out where Kalamazoo Ave. ends….okay…I need to read the news since I skipped coffee and the papers today…back for more after the drive…

October 24th

Well…I am having a heck of a time getting going today…as you can see…but, I do need to run one errand today so I can watch the World Series tonight with a cocktail…and a snack…so that means a run to Meijers this morning and I need to get to it…so, I will…and then come back in a few minutes for more of this…

Okay…got the coffee and papers done so I’m back for a few…it was an okay day yesterday and I got to put the top down on the car again…just like I did on the run to Meijers…I did lose at pool for the 4th time in a row and that is starting to concern me….no, not really….no dreams to speak of but I think I slept okay…getting pretty geeked up about the World Series starting tonight but it is causing me a little stress…not sure I like it when the Tigers are the favorites…just more disappointing if they lose and especially if Verlander loses…but, I need to get to the workout and bike ride so I need to get moving…more later…maybe…

October 23rd

Well…it was a long night last night and I feel a little crappy for it…but I think I slept okay so that is something…it was fun to go out and hang with G for a while and I think the stop leak may be working on the car…I’ll have to check it again this morning but it looks promising…I hurt everywhere for some reason so I need to go take some ibuprofen to see if that will help…I will comment on the debate and other political stuff later today but right now I need more water and couch before I go to Meijers for the second day in a row…

October 22nd

Well…I didn’t come back for a second one yesterday, as you can see, and there is no excuse other than I just forgot…the election fatigue has something to do with it, too, but the biggest factor is being broke and the resultant depression that comes with it…but, I do need to keep moving forward so I’ll try that today…almost gassed myself yesterday when I was cleaning the grout in my shower with a bleach cleaner…had to dive out of the bathroom to be able to breathe and the effects linger today…just not too bright but the shower is clean and that makes me smile a little…not much to do today..I do need to get to working out and riding the bike so I’ll end here and get to it…more later…
