Well…with the trouble that T is going through…just want to share this lyric from Phil Collins..”the roof is leaking and the wind is howling…the kids are crying since the sheets are so cold…woke this morning and my hands were frozen…tried to fix the fire but the damn things’s too old…but me, I’m getting stronger by the minute…” I want this for her right now…….

Well…sitting here watching “Leaving Las Vegas”, one of my favorite movies…and remembered I hadn’t come back here for the second one today…it has been a hard, depressing day today with the troubles that T has been having that I can’t get out of my head…and that has caused me to lose interest in politics…and everything else, really…so, I think this one is cheating to keep the numbers up…there are a few topics that need to be addressed, like the Menendez non-scandal…and the idiot O’Keefe paying out 100K to someone…and there was one other one that I just can’t remember right now….and now, I’m just waiting for it to get to cocktail time….so, on that note, I am going to go back to the couch and watch more of the movie…

Well…running late again today but, this time, I have a reason for it…made up a brine for a pork loin I’m cooking today and when I put it in the fridge, the damn bag came open spilling the brine all over the inside of my fridge…including the thyme leaves that I had in it…those tiny little things are just a huge pain to clean up and it took me almost 20 minutes to make it presentable…so now I’m back to soccer and coffee and this…slept okay last night but must have been spinning all night…found one pillow across the room and the top sheet was wadded up into a little ball at the foot of the bed….but, there were no dreams and I can’t figure that one out…it was an okay day yesterday but didn’t do much but read…not a bad day…and I did get 6 resumes out…still no response but at least there was something…not much to do today…going to just watch soccer, races, and the Wings so at least I will have something to do…along with cleaning, that is…more later…

Well…running late on a Friday and the only reason for it is that I just don’t care…okay, that’s not entirely true but life has become this overwhelming burden that I deal with by shifting down into a lower gear and into survival mode…that said, I did sleep okay last night but I know it was the cocktails and not any peace that I have found…okay…need to elevate the mood here and stop the whining…it looks like it is going to be a nice day today with sunshine and temps in the 40’s…so that is something to enjoy…and the car is working okay so that’s a plus…yesterday was just more of the same but I am still healthy and can think a little…not much to do today…I am going to have more coffee and watch Graham Norton…but, from there, I have no plans and think I will just let the day flow as it will…more later…

Well…it was another day yesterday…not too interesting but okay…I did lose at pool again but that is okay, too…it was close but no cigar….I did sleep okay and had dreams that included big trucks, lots of snow, and parties…and T was in it, too, but I can’t remember anyone’s role….I did get the top down on the car out and back yesterday so I do have my March day in already and that takes the pressure off…I do need to do the grocery run this morning and then come back here for more resumes! That was supposed to be sarcastic…hope it came through that way….it’s just that the frustration with not hearing a thing from anyone is getting to be a bit much…I did win some tickets to see a Zep cover band next week at the Intersection and since it’s free, I’ll be going…not sure who with yet….finally something to look forward to…more later…

Well…I have been sitting here for a while now trying to find a topic and work up some outrage to fuel the writing but I’m just not having any luck…that seems to be the pattern to my life lately and it is getting frustrating to keep on trying and trying and getting no results…kind of like the job search…there just seems to be this huge weight sitting on me that I can’t get out from under and even driving the car is not helping at all…so, what to do? Not sure….I’m sure cocktails are not the answer…and riding the bike used to be but the weather is just not cooperating…I used to know that if I could just hibernate, things would be okay…well…need to get ready to go shoot pool….

Well…another bore of a day but I did get the surfaces cleaned in the kitchen so I feel okay about that…and it is nice to have a semi cleaned kitchen…slept okay last night even without cocktails so maybe I’ve turned the corner on that….but, I was still up early and think that maybe 6 hours or so is enough for me…I did read a study that people that sleep less than 7 a night have all kinds of hormonal changes that are similar to being under stress all the time and I do feel that way…but that has been my whole life so the damage is done….I should wash the car today to get the salt off and since it is already over freezing, I may be able to do it…have to find two more quarters, though, since I have no cash….not much to do today…have to keep being good since I do feel much better…and I should clean the bathroom…but, who knows….

Well…another just normal day but I am getting started early today so that’s something, isn’t it? Oh, the normal day was yesterday, not sure what today is going to be but I can guess that it will be more of the same…slept okay last night even with being good but I was still up at 5:30 and I should have somewhere to go…but no luck yet on the resumes…okay, not going to think about that right now…Looks like a huge storm is going to miss us to the west and I am really ready for winter to be over….but, we will get some snow here so I guess I just have to suck it up and take it…not much to do today….just the normal stuff…but I do need to clean the kitchen and make it presentable to me….more later…

Well…running really late on a Monday and it is just from the depression..or maybe the cocktails? Nope, just don’t feel like doing anything right now and that is bleeding over into this now…it was an okay day yesterday and I got a couple of photos from T in Atlanta that brightened it quite a bit but I think that just brought it up to tolerable…the Wings lost which dampened it back down after that…okay…need to work out….then I’ll be back later…

Okay…just finished up working out and feel somewhat better…I have been having fun with the posters out on Miata.net…never knew there were so may weird people in the world but I guess the definition of a Miata owner is that they are somewhat weird…just like me…I am getting really frustrated with the job search and, as you can see, it is bleeding through here and makes my brain feel like it doesn’t work too well anymore…so, I’m going to go read the online papers and try to get it to shut off for a while…

Well…it was another long day yesterday…kind of getting to be the new normal and I’m sure I don’t like it much…I am running late today since I wanted to get the coffee and paper done first and I did…so now it’s time for this. there was a funny thing that happened during the Man U match yesterday…one of the commentators, Ian Darke, mentioned Grand Rapids during the game…not sure why he knows that GR exists but I thought it was pretty cool….Slept okay, I think…but I’m not sure…and no dream at all…crap…it was kind of fun hearing from T from Atlanta yesterday and having a nice running text conversation….didn’t expect to hear from her until she gets back into town….not much to do today….looks like a sports day with the Wings, a race, and then Michigan and MSU playing later in the day…so that will be it…total veg with sports…more later…
