Well…it was a long day of news yesterday and then the debate…I am so disappointed in Obama…he just didn’t punch ole Mitt enough…but that is a topic for later…I still feel crappy today and I’m not sure I want to do anything today…the bike is broken again and I’m not sure I even want to work out…I may just take the day off….

Well…it was just a wasted day yesterday and I don’t really feel much better today…not quite as tired as yesterday so maybe I’m getting over the bug….not sure though, since my head still feels like it is full of concrete….I did try to eat more yesterday and I am going to do the same today to see if that has some effect….I do need to hit the grocery store and use up the rest of the cash on hand since I do want a cocktail for the debate tonight…so, I think I’ll get moving and get that done..more later…

Well..feel like crap today so this one is going to be short…this is the worst the allergies have ever been and I am really thinking of skipping working out and the bike ride today…..just want to go back to the couch and rest for a while….so that is what I’m going to do right now…I’ll be back later for more…

Okay, I’m back and it is later…I did get the bike ride in and worked out so I do feel a lot better…I think I haven’t been eating enough for the past few days, too and that contributed to me feeling so terrible this morning…the bike did crack the seat tube again but I am using JB weld to try to keep it from breaking off completely and we’ll see tomorrow if that worked….I am going to take a short break and come back for a political one but I skipped the papers today so I have to go and read them online…more later…

Well…another month is gone and another night of no sleep is not the way to start a new one…no cocktails last night but I feel like I had a day long bender…it must be the bug that I’ve had for the last week or so…or the fact that we are one of the highest pollen cities right now and that might be triggering the allergies…I’m not sure but I do know that I am miserable today and it is going to be a real chore to get ready to go out for coffee…but I need to since I haven’t done much in the last couple of weeks…on the other hand, I’m broke and should save the 5 bucks that it costs to go out in the morning…but, how much do I have to continue to sacrifice? My life is already so small that it feels claustrophobic in here…oh, well.,..more later…

Well…running late again today and it is an easy explanation this time…just decided to read the paper and have my coffee first..and I did so now I’m here for a while…it was just another day yesterday and really didn’t do much except watch sports…trying to not spend any money since I don’t have any right now…I did hear back from the guy in Greenville that has the winter tires and I am going up there today to pick them up…looks like I’ll have to put two of them on the top with it down to get them back here but that should be okay…I am going to bag them in garbage bags so they don’t get everything dirty…. and who can pass up free stuff…oh, I said that yesterday didn’t I? I am glad I’ve got navigation on the phone…going to see how well it works today…and I have maps, too so it should be okay…so, that’s what I’m doing today…I will try to get back later for more since I’m short for the month…

Well…running late as always…have been watching the Chelsea/Arsenal match and with shooting pool and having cocktails last night, I am really worn out today and am taking it easy until the temp comes up enough to ride the bike…slept okay but up early again and that doesn’t help…but, as I said before, not going to bitch about that anymore. I may have to make a run to Greenville later today to pick up a set of snow tires for the car that one of the guys on the Miata board is giving away…I’ll take free stuff any time…more later…

Well…another day of not much happening and it appears that that is going to be my lot for a while….just can’t seem to muster the energy to do much and I hope it is the bug I’ve been fighting over the past week or so…but, I know it’s probably not…I think it is just a down time that I have from time to time and these need to be endured….so, I’ll just grit my teeth and keep going forward until this stuff lifts and the Miata makes me smile again…..

Okay…I feel I’ve been shortchanging you guys for the past week or so so I thought I’d come back for some caffeine fueled additions to this one…have stopped the melatonin to see if there is really any difference to using it…and I’m not sure there is…slept okay lat night but it was a cocktail night so that kind of skews the results…and there were dreams about nonsense that seem too trivial to mention so I won’t….I do feel a little better and am glad that I didn’t get the worse part of the bug….ran into one of the cashiers at Meijers that I know and she was almost down for the count and went home just after she got there…it’s almost color tour time and doing the first one in the Miata should be fun…have to go up to Mt P next Friday for C’s birthday bash and then I have G’s birthday Sat that I think I may have to skip…costs too much to go out to dinner…what else? Nothing right now so I’ll end here…

Well…I still feel pretty crappy for another day and I know now that it is a bug…but that doesn’t help…maybe I’ll take the day off today and just veg to try to get over it…but it is going to be such a nice day that I may want to take a drive in the car…I did get the grocery shopping done and made a pork loin in the slow cooker so I don’t need to cook today…okay….heading back to the couch for water and a little rest…more later…

Well…as you know I’ve been really wrapped up in the election stuff over the past few months and that has dominated my postings here and I am starting to feel that toxicity in my life so today I am going to change it up and go back to one of my favorite topics, trail weirdness, since it really was weird on the trail today. I have been feeling a little under the weather for the past week and have taken it easy on the bike..but, today, I am feeling a little better so I decided to get some sprints in and a really strange thing happened…almost 30 squirrels and chipmunks must have run out in front of me like they were on a kamikaze mission, just missing the front tire as they did…but, one of the chipmunks was not so lucky…I caught him by the tail and he flipped about a foot in the air in a really cool looking back somersault….as he flipped, he kept running so when he hit the ground he just shot off into the woods and disappeared…one of the neatest things I’ve seen in a while. Then, as I was leaving my last water stop at the park, I was just crawling along enjoying the colors when a swarm of 25 or so orange and black butterflies swooped in and flew around me for about 50 feet; circling me like they were trying to figure out what the heck I was….after about 15 seconds, they just exploded away from me and into the air…looking like something you’d see in a Disney animated film….days like this really do make me smile…

Well…it was another regular, boring day yesterday and I felt like crap all day with no energy…even skipped playing pool I was so tired…I’m sure this one is a bug but the 2 hours of sleep didn’t help at all…not much better sleep last night so I guess I’ll have to live with it for a while…sitting here and feeling about the same right now and I want to go back to the couch and get ready to muster the energy to do the grocery run this morning and then the normal stuff…so, I think I’ll do that and come back later for more of this…
