Well..it’s after 9 and that is really late for a weekday…no excuses, really…just haven’t had much to say…slept like crap last night and the damn phone had a software update come through at 4:45 that sent the alarms dinging for a half hour as it updated the apps…I finally did remember that you can turn the ringer off but the damage had already been done…the phone seems to be faster now so that is cool…I think I may be getting over the bug that I had for the past week since I haven’t been coughing nearly as much since yesterday….I did have one thought that popped into my head this morning as I lay there trying to get back to sleep…what would be your theme music? What music would you have them play when you walk out on stage for “the Daily Show?” I’ve been leaning toward “Pretzel Logic” but that builds really slow…maybe something from Led Zeppelin or Neil Young? Or, something obscure from Lee Michaels?
Have to think about that for awhile….you can see I have too much time on my hands…and that is going to continue today with not much to do…more later…

Well…sitting here running late again and there is no reason for it other than I’m just not too motivated right now…it was just another long Sunday for me yesterday some good news that Man U and the Wings both won but then the boredom that usually marks my days flooded back in and I had to shift back to enduring mode…but, I survived it and now we have Monday to deal with…and the coffee isn’t really helping yet…the wind was blowing so hard when I went out for papers this morning I had a hard time walking straight and now it is blowing even harder…I can feel it running through this place like I have a window open….I’ll have to watch to see if any of the patio stuff takes off and I have to chase it…not much to do today…and this time I mean it…I can’t think of anything right now so I think I’ll go back to “Flying Down to Rio” and try to escape for a while…

Well…not sure where this is coming from but a thunderbolt just hit me with an idea for one of these…and I’m not sure if it is from my advancing age or if the daily overload of meanness and injustice that comes from reading as much as I do…but this just popped into my head….”why?” It is an interesting word and I think it goes to the core of what make us human…why? Why do religions that purport to follow the peaceful Jesus hate so much? Why to they ignore the rest of his teachings like taking care of the sick, loving your neighbor, or feeding the poor? Why does the Catholic church especially hate gays so much? Why do they think so little of women that they try and try to take away their basic human right to control their own bodies?

Why do politicians who purport to be religious people go out of their way to hurt the poor by cutting and cutting the safety net? Why do they then spend so much time and energy protecting the rich?

Why do the people that hire have to go out of their way to reject people like me? Why is age so bad? Why is being unemployed so bad? Why, why, why…….I don’t have any of the answers, but the questions are starting to corrode me…they are starting to hollow me out from the inside….and they are starting to make me think that maybe there isn’t another job out there for me….and that is the worst thing I’ve ever felt….

Well…running normally today and I have had the coffee and paper but, with cocktails and the bug I have, I feel a little crappy this morning…had a nice day of talking to T yesterday and I feel bad about her broken thumb…something she just didn’t need at all…fell asleep on the couch last night and I have the stiff neck to show for it…it was a pretty boring night so that was it…I am going to make a home made pizza for lunch today and I have been looking forward to that for a couple of days now…yeah, I know, my life is really, really boring if that is all I have to look forward to…oh, and Man U plays this morning so that is something, too…and the Wings play this aft…geez…my memory is going today….other than those things, not much to do today….got most of the cleaning done yesterday so this morning is going to be soccer, coffee, and couch….not a bad way to spend a Sunday….more later…

Well…waiting for the car to melt so I thought I’d get to this early for a change…it was an okay day yesterday but the bug is still killing me so it will be a total veg day today….I did get a chance to get the car out on the road for the first time in a couple of weeks and that felt good for me and the car….I think I slept okay last night but I can’t breathe too well so that was a little problem and my energy level is quite low…so I guess I’ll have to shift into the low gear I use when I don’t sleep…I so have to go over to Meijers in a couple of minutes…I have been craving a salad for a couple of days…yeah, I know, most people crave bacon or ice cream…you know I’m weird…more later…

Well…it was a long day yesterday with waiting for the snowmageddon to happen…that didn’t….we did get 6-7 inches of snow but for Michigan that is not a big number…already have the car cleared off and I’m waiting for it to heat up so I don’t have to scrape the windshield….the bug has bitten back today and I am coughing with my head plugged up so I think I’ll just take it easy today and just watch a couple of movies…it didn’t help that it was a cocktail night last night but the Wings won so that makes it a little better…need to shower and go out for the papers…more later…

Well…getting an early start today since I was good last night and have a little energy this morning…I did win at pool yesterday so that was okay but it is still crappy to be broke…but, I am going to the grocery store this morning to lay in supplies for the snowmageddon that is supposed to happen later today…if it does, I’ll just hunker down here and wait it out with the slow cooker pork tenderloin and fresh baked bread that I just took out of the freezer….I may be getting over the bug that I’ve had for the past week but I’m not sure of that yet….if the snow does happen, I’ll just clean around here all day and then look forward to having a cocktail night and some tv later…more later…

Well…not running as late as normal and part of it is that I was good last night…so how I feel today is all bug, all the time and I am exhausted..but, I do feel better than yesterday so maybe I’ll be better tomorrow…said that yesterday, though, didn’t I? I did sleep okay…I think…but I am still struggling with the conundrum of eating…if I eat enough to not feel tired, I gain weight like crazy without being able to ride the bike…and I refuse to go back to running and the pain that comes with it….so, I guess I sit out the next three weeks and just live with it…life is no fun on a thousand calories a day….not much to do today…leftovers in the fridge so no cooking today so I guess I’ll clean and get out more resumes….ick…

Well….it was just another day of trying to get over this bug but I do feel a little better today so maybe there is light at the end of the tunnel….and maybe it won’t be a train coming at me….had to start the car and leave it running for a while since it is an ice block and it is only 4 degrees outside…my lungs are killing me and the coughing is starting to get old…okay, that’s out of order…but I’m not going to edit….not much to do today….might have a couple with G later and clean the kitchen before that but if the energy levels don’t come up soon there won’t be much of anything…so, I need to make coffee and shower before I go out for the papers…

Well…running really late today and I’ll blame it on the superbowl…it’s as good as anything, I guess, and that means I feel like crap today…but most of it is the damn bug I’ve been fighting for the past week….my lungs are starting to get quite bad but I guess I’ll live through it…slept okay last night…the weird power outage at the game was compounded by the same thing happening at the Man U match Sat….I wonder if it’s aliens or something like that…that was a joke…my tin foil hat is at the cleaners…not much to do today…I do have to do the bathroom and then clean up the kitchen some and cook, too….I will be back for another one later if I can come up with a topic…
