Well…sitting here waiting for the ice to melt off the car and thought I’d get an early start today…for a weekend, that is….it was a cocktail night last night so I’m a little cloudy right now…and it was a long day yesterday with trying hard to keep the boredom at bay was hard work but I survived it…and today looks like another one but there are sports to help…Man U plays this morning and then there is a race…nope, two races on this aft so I may be able to get through it…I’ll be back in a while to add to this one…need to go to Meijers to get food and cocktail materials…
Okay…the third cup of coffee has worked wonders and I feel almost human…slept okay last night but no dreams to speak of but that is okay since none of them have been very fun lately….I am just getting tired of waiting for spring to come and the trails to melt so I can get back on the bike…I think my body misses the abuse and I know I miss the fresh air and exercise….and I feel fat with the 10 pounds I’ve gained….all that on 1200 calories a day…weird…okay…Man U is starting and I need to see it…more later…oh, one last thing…T is leaving for Atlanta for a few days and I am going to miss the texts we send every day…she sure keeps my spirits up….
One other good thing…just found out that Ian Darke and Steve Macmanaman are doing the match this morning! It’s like listening to Ken and Mickey do the Wings….
Well…it is the first of the month and I just hate these days…oh, said that in the last one…and it was a cocktail night last night so I feel crappy this morning and not very lucid so this one is going to be short…slept okay…I think, but who can tell when there are cocktails involved? Okay…as always, not feeling it right now so I think I’ll go back to the couch and have some more water…
Okay…back for a few…feeling much better and came across the movie “Airport” on AMC this morning…I think it’s dating me but I saw this 1970 movie in the theater when it came out…kind of soapy but I think it’s still a good movie and is making the transition into the day a little easier…not much to do today…I am going to do a total veg out today just hang out here and watch movies…so there is not much to talk about right now…I will be back later for another one…don’t want to get behind for the month and I do need content for my DailyKos account…
Well…even though I’m ahead by two for the month, I felt like I wanted to come back for a recap…maybe not a recap but just to muse a little…it has been a frustrating week and, as you know, the last day of the month is one of the worst ones for me since I have to pay the rent tomorrow…so, it is going to be a cocktail night tonight to try to shut the brain off for just a little while…and as a reward for being good all week…I do think I may need to stop reading the Miata forums since there are people talking about all of the failures in their cars…it makes it look like the Miata is the least reliable car that has ever been built and give me just a few more things to worry about that I don’t need right now…and, mine is reliable, now. But, the forums do help me pass the time and keep the crushing boredom at bay so I guess I’ll just have to take them with a grain of salt…and, no one writes to the forums to say that nothing has failed so I have to remember that….and, they like my car so that reinforces how much I like it. I have also been spending time out on DailyKos but I’m not sure how long that is going to last…it is nice to have like-minded individuals to talk and listen to but I would like some reasoned argument for the other side once in a while…okay…that’s it, it’s not cocktail time yet but it’s only 45 minutes to go and I guess I can amuse myself until 7….
Well…it was a long day yesterday and I lost a pool but really can’t feel bad about it with the run of wins I’ve had….and I did sleep okay but really short again but I think that may be what has been wrong lately…I just need to let the natural sleep patterns take hold again and not feel bad when I sleep 4-5 hours a night…doesn’t work when I force it so let’s try something different…I am ready for the snow to be over so I can get back on the bike and get the toxins out…I am getting really bored with the nothing that has been going on lately and I need to think of some new techniques to help alleviate it…not sure what those would be but I think it’s worth some thought anyway…not much to do today….I do need to make the grocery run but that is about it….more later…
Well…sitting here trying to watch tv but the dish is screwed up from the snow so I had to go to Netflix and the Roku….it was an okay day yesterday but I did have to pick G up when her truck died…it was good to get the car out on the e-way for a run and all of the rain cleaned the salt off it better than the car wash…I was up late and up early so I am a little tired this morning but I was good last night so that’s not it…slept okay without a lot of tossing and turning for the short time I was in bed and there were dreams that I don’t remember….I am really tired of the snow and I can’t wait for spring to come but it looks like another week at least until we get weather above 30….not much to do today…will probably just hibernate here with the snow and get some reading done….
Okay…forgot to talk about the snow that fell last night…had about 8 inches of the wettest, heaviest snow all winter on the car this morning..but the car took it well on the trip out to get the papers….and it looks like some of it may melt today so that will be a good thing…more later…
Well…it was a day yesterday and I did go out for a few with G that I shouldn’t have since I can’t afford it…slept okay but I am sore for some reason almost everywhere…and that is without being out on the bike…hope it’s not the normal state of things from now on…and we are getting another huge storm tonight which will put getting back on the bike back a few more weeks…that may be what has been making me so grumpy lately….so, it looks like hibernating tomorrow if we get the 6 plus inches of snow that is forecast…not much to do today….and that is the truth…I do need to go out and get the papers so I can get the brain working and have coffee…more later…
Oh…one thing, I did have the top down on the car yesterday…twice and that was fun but it looks like that will be the last time for a couple of weeks….I do need to get out and wash the salt off soon but I’m not going to do it today with the snow coming…
Well…trying to get moving this morning and it should be easy since I was good last night…but, didn’t get to be until one and then was up every hour all night and I’m not sure how to calculate how much sleep that really is…can’t be more than about 3 hours and I do feel it right now…so, I’ll have to shift down to the conservation gear that I use to cope when I don’t sleep. It was an okay day yesterday but somewhat boring…with the race being the most boring part of that boring day…but, the Wings did win in a blowout so that made it a little better…I did watch the Oscars last night and it was not a very good show…slow moving, lots of lame jokes, and too long….made me remember why I stopped watching a few years back…not much to do today…just the normal stuff and maybe a nap later to catch up….more later…
Oh, there is one thing from sleeping…woke up so violently from a dream last night that I hurt something in my right thigh…and it still hurts this morning…how lame is that? Well…maybe not lame but certainly strange…
Well…it was a day yesterday and, again, it was a cocktail night so I feel crappy today…but, it was the last one for the week so the recovery process starts today and I feel good about that…there was a youngster hurt in the stands at Daytona yesterday and as I said earlier, it is putting me off racing some…but, with the boredom that is so suffocating, I am going to watch the race today…maybe there will be some good news on the injuries…okay…not feeling this so I’m going to stop…
Okay…back for a sec…have a huge bout of cognitive dissonance going on this morning…I’m rooting for Chelsea to beat Man City…and I always root against Chelsea…but, if they win today, the BPL title will almost certainly be Man U’s….
Well…I’m sure you’ve grown tired of my rantings about the right here in the US and I really do think that the act of writing about the crazy is contributing to the malaise that I feel…so, I ‘m going to give myself and you a break today and not write about it….so, what else to write? There was a race on today where one of the cars almost went into the stands and spectators were hurt…that was like a punch and is moving me closer and closer to giving up racing….I did have a nice lunch with T today but I am a little concerned that my depressed state is going to make her not want to do that much any more…and that would be a shame…it’s like I was telling Tom the other day…I just don’t feel like I fit anywhere anymore…like I’m living outside of time and just observing no matter where I go or what I do…yeah, I know that sounds strange but it is as close of a description as I can give….okay, this one is deteriorating into a “poor me” so I’ll stop….I’ll be back for more tomorrow and probably back to the crazy…
Well…sitting here waiting for the Man U game to start so I thought I’d get one of these done so I don’t have the huge waves of guilt that I normally feel when I don’t do my job…it was an okay day yesterday but didn’t really do much other than cook the pork shoulder…might have to stop using garlic for the rub since it burned in the bottom of the pan and this place smells like it this morning…I think I slept okay but all of the nights run together so I can’t be sure…kind of worn out so maybe I didn’t….oh, it was a cocktail night so maybe that was it…not much to do today…I do have to meet up with T later for a couple of minutes but that is about it…I really should get the kitchen cleaned but lack the motivation to get started…I guess I’ll just go back to the couch, have another cup of coffee, and watch some soccer…
