Well…I know…took a couple of days off to just chill out and do nothing except have a bunch of beers…still feel like crap with no energy that has been going on for a couple of weeks now; haven’t even gotten on the bike in a couple of days since my legs have been so dead. Did go over to K’s yesterday to get some sun and out to the winchester last night but didn’t stay out late.
Might go over to K’s again today but the radar shows that it is going to storm here in about an hour or so and last for a while so I may just stay home…more later…
Well…another kind of normal day but have felt kind of out of sync all day…no energy in the legs for the bike ride but that may be that I just need to take a day off…have ridden every day for almost 3 weeks and now with the left knee starting to pop, a rest may be in order. I did get the coffee table, end table, and a lamp from G yesterday and I will say that I think I can get used to having more furniture. I know, I’m still not a furniture kind of guy but the coffee table works great for a foot stool. It looks like I have plans for the weekend after all…over to K’s tomorrow to sit around the pool and then a reunion of the Taps people at the Winchester Sunday. I don’t know if I’ve shared it but Taps was the place I met most of the friends I now have and it will be good to see some people I don’t see much any more.
That’s about it…no outrage at anything right now so that is why no extra posts lately, plus I’ve been busy doing other things…maybe more later…
Oh, there is the Indy 500 Sunday, too, that is a tradition for me so I’ll have to watch it…
Well…getting ready to go out to Ada for pool and beer again…so far, an uneventful day with just the regular stuff in it…great weather, though, and it looks like it is going to be good the rest of the week. Stayed in last night to get some rest although G and I took it easy Monday; it’s the damn sleep thing again, as always. I am so worn out from tossing and turning that I think I’ll have to get some more of the otc sleeping pills even thought they make you feel like crap the next day. Have to try to figure out what I’m doing for the weekend since it is the first holiday of the summer…might put the bike on the back of the wreck and just go somewhere to see some new trails…or if G and M are still having some conflict, I may be able to get 18 holes of golf in with her…probably not likely.
Hmmm…it’s 2:19 and I have to be out in Ada by 3 so, so I think I’ll stop here…I do have a comment on Stevie Y. leaving the Wings for Tampa but that will be later today or probably tomorrow….
Hmmm….you know that I’ve talked previously about becoming invisible as I age and to me, that is just part of the disconnect that I feel about society and how I fit into it..well, the great revelation was in the shower (I know, don’t put that image in your head) after I got back from the bike ride today. I don’t really know if it was a revelation so much as another crystallization of the vague feelings I’ve been having for quite a while of the new state of my life…that is that it all feels temporary, like I’m just marking time or idling; looking for work and hoping that there may be something for me here in Michigan. In an earlier life, there were the concrete foundations of family, job, and owning a home…that were then replaced by the great group of friends I had for a number of years that have largely gone away; most of them getting into their concrete lives that I had already done….so I feel like I’m starting over again…just like when the marriage crapped out…
This is part of the confusion that I mentioned in the first post to this page…and it is something that I am not having any luck figuring out…as time goes on, you’ll see how this fits with the posts on change….
Well…what a gorgeous morning to be out on the bike in the fog and haze…out before 8 and over 20 miles and now I’m already bored and it is only 10…oh, well…not much going on today..no Sunday Funday as far as I know…at least I haven’t heard from anyone yet.
Not much more to say right now so I’ll stop…more later..
Well..I’m starting to feel better from Wednesday…although, going out for beers last night didn’t help. Today has been quite busy so far…grocery shopping, working out, lunch with Teresa, and just got back from a ride. I know, quit bitching, most people would love to have my life and I kind of like it, too. No plans for the weekend so far, except watching Indy 500 qualifying tomorrow..kind of a tradition with me and I am looking forward to it.
I promise some outrage tomorrow or later today…just have to comment on Jay Ambrose in the GR Press..who thinks that Michelle Obama wanting to do something about childhood obesity is an indoctrination of children to be socialists..geez….
Well…feel quite a bit better than I should…this one is going to be short since I do need to work out and get a bike ride in to get rid of the toxins…more later..
Well…busy morning so far, had to go out for coffee of course, then a haircut, washed the car, worked out, and took a long ride. Not a lot else to do until it’s out to ADA later this aft…I feel like I’m going to win at pool again this week…don’t ask me why, I just think that. Having a hard time lately working up outrage about anything but I have to be able to write without it I guess. I do have some comments on the primary elections from Tuesday but they are just musing more than anything since I didn’t see anything that looked like a trend except incumbents had a hard time in some of them. More later….
Well..I was just guessing on how much the car was going to cost, remember, I said that it would be 200 bucks? It actually is only 199…yay! I hope you get the sarcasm. But since having a loud car is one thing I can’t stand, it’s a good deal to me. It was a good decision to put the bike on the carrier and ride home to wait for the car…got the chance to work out and I’ll have some lunch before I ride back to get it. Have had this weird taste for chili dogs for the last few days so that is what I’m going to have.
No other plans for today other than to clean again…did a bunch of stuff around here over the weekend that made quite a mess so I’ll have to get on it. Should make enough cash this week to get the new rear tire for the bike and buy a cable modem to get rid of this damn unreliable DSL. More later…
Been kind of a strange day today…well..like all of my days are strange, I guess. Did get the workout in and took a long bike ride but the damn wind was ugly..oh,well. Have to take the wreck in to the muffler shop again tomorrow..it seems like at least once a year, I have to have something replaced; another 200 bucks down the drain…I need to find a job so I can buy a new car.
The LC is still closed so I don’t know where Monday out is with G is going to be today..it has to be somewhere that has Keno since that is a large part of of our night and is fun when we win sometimes. Probably Florentine’s since it is half way between our places and they have keno…hmmmm…well, that’s about it for now…I’ll get to the GRP and columnist thing later or tomorrow…
