Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I am starting to have a lot of fun driving the car in the snow…I think it’s getting up there with the best ones I have owned…but I think it’s probably the tires that make the difference…I did win at pool in the last game so that was cool but I was up 5-1 and then barely won so I probably shouldn’t be too happy….I did sleep okay last night but, with it being a cocktail night, I am running late today…I did get the new shifter on the bike and almost have it adjusted but the fine tuning will have to wait until I can ride it…I’m glad it is done since the old one was so greasy that every time I worked on it it left grease and dirt all over….will have to get that cleaned up today…not much to do today…it looks like I will just take it easy today and get the kitchen cleaned…I am baking bread later and that will be cool to have that smell in the place…

Well…it was a day yesterday and I did have a little fun with having a couple with G…the car barely started with it being -1 but there is a heat wave today and it is 6 so it should be okay….need to go start it up again here in a minute to warm it up for the trip to Meijers since I am out of food….slept okay last night with some dreams but they were about not finding work so that is not something I want to dwell on right now…I think I may be coming down with another bug with all of the sneezing and coughing but I don’t feel that bad so it can’t be the flu…I hope so anyway….I do have things to do today…it is a pool day with Tom but that is about it…more later…

Well…it was just so fricking cold going out to get the papers…the car was struggling to start and I left it running for almost a half hour since I could barely shift it into neutral…once it was a little warm it was okay and I do love the Blizzaks…I am starting to have fun sliding the thing around and using some of the skills I built in my younger days…and the Miata is so much more responsive that you can hold a slide quite easily…today is T’s big day and will be presenting for her new job in about an hour…I’m kind of excited for her and hope that maybe, someday, I may be able to find another job…the Wings almost disappointed me again last night but they did look better than the pounding they took Sat…not much to do today…an that is the truth… feeling crappy with a new bug so I need to lay low for the next couple of days…

Well…it was a long day yesterday and I am surprised that I watched football games that I’m not interested in…probably from boredom or from T being interested in them…who knows? Didn’t really do much all day but just hang out here…it did snow last night but it doesn’t look like as much as predicted…I will have to clean off the car and let it warm up, though, since it is cold and that looks like the pattern for the week….not much to do today..as of this point, I can’t think of one thing other than getting the papers and having coffee…and working out…but that gets me done with everything by 10…oh, well…

Well…not really running late since it is the weekend but I feel like I am….just finished the paper and I’m working on my second cup of coffee while I root against Chelsea and try to feel better after a cocktail night. I am so disappointed in the Wings that I think I’ll just not watch them anymore…after all, I’m already used to not seeing them so it won’t be too big of a deal…I am going to have to hibernate for a few days here with the cold weather coming along with 3-6 inches of snow overnight….it is January in Michigan so I’m pretty used to it after so many years…and, it has not been a bad winter so far so I shouldn’t bitch too much….I did sleep okay and I think it is the earplugs that I have been using….not much to do today…don’t have to cook since I did that yesterday..oh, just remembered Man U is playing in a while so that will be cool…and the weather in England is almost as bad as it is here…cold and snow…so that will be neat to watch…

Well…it was a day yesterday…not much else to say for it but I guess it’s okay…I am sore from walking the bike back when it died on me and I think it’s weird that walking just two miles did such a number on my legs…didn’t sleep well at all last night and I may have to use the last melatonin tonight just to try to sleep a little…and I am running late today as always, and I’m not going to apologize for it this time…it’s normal for a cocktail night….I am a little out of sorts today since there was only one paper to buy and that is just not enough for me to get the brain running…so I guess I’ll have to read the online papers early…I am a little excited that the Wings are starting tonight and I have to get my Hank shirt out to make it official….okay…need to read more papers so I can get the cobwebs out….

Well…it was a long day yesterday and I am running late because of it…and, it didn’t help that it was a cocktail night and the depression from spending 100 bucks yesterday just piled on the top if it….so if I’m not too lucid today I do have a pretty good excuse…I did think that karma had gotten back at me this morning when I went out to get the papers…when I stopped at the store and parked the car, a light was on on the dash that, with my just up eyes, I thought was the check engine light…but, when I got back in the car, it was just the light for the handbrake…yay for that….It would just be too much to have the car and the bike down at the same time…not much to do today…I am contemplating skipping working out this morning but I know the guilt will be too much since I’ve already gained almost 10 pounds without riding the bike…yeah, that is adding to the malaise that I am feeling but I am down to 1,000 calories a day and can’t go lower without some health effects….oh, well….

Well…today has been one of those days where you just shake your head, smile, and marvel at how things work. It started out fine with getting out to get groceries and coming back here to work out…then, the sun came out and that little thing spurred me to get out on the bike to try to get some exercise…and set the rest of the day in motion. First, I get out about 2 miles and the bike starts to act a little weird and all of a sudden the chain breaks and I’m left to walk it back the two miles into a 15 mile an hour wind…when I got back, I went over and spent 21 bucks on a new chain that installed quite easily. Then, I got back out on the bike to test it and found that the broken chain (or wear) had torn the rear shifter up so it wouldn’t hold in any gear….so, I had to get online and spend another 27 bucks to buy a new one…I guess that 14,000 miles is not bad for the shifter or chain so I shouldn’t bitch too much….but, after removing the old shifter, all of the grease and dirt that had collected over the years fell off and some of it stuck to the bottom of my foot and I tracked the sticky, black, crap all over my place and had to spend an hour getting it out of the carpet and off my floors. So, after all that, I am really looking forward to a cocktail and some relaxing tonight…at least the car is running great….for now.

Oh, one last thing I forgot…while I was working on the shifter, I jabbed a spring all the way through my finger…in and out and it is still bleeding 3 hours later….but, other than that, not that bad of a day…I did get my fridge cleaned, too…

Well…it was a day yesterday and I won at pool so that was okay…and I slept okay…well…it was tolerable anyway so I thought I’d get this one done before I get ready to go get some groceries…I am feeling so much like a slug with not being able to get out on the bike that I think I’ll go out today even if it’s snowing…and I think I’m going to start the new novel today…have been kicking the idea around for a while now and I need to give it a shot just to get my brain working again if for nothing else…and I do need to clean the fridge today since it is starting to look like a garage fridge and that just won’t cut it….okay…need to make the coffee and get ready to get the groceries…more later…

Well…it was a day yesterday and I had a little fun going out to hang with G for a couple and watching the Wings scrimmage on tv….and T is back in town so things are right again…I did sleep okay even without the Melatonin last night so I may try to go without it and just see how it will be…I was up at 5:30, though, so there may be a nap in the future since I didn’t get to sleep until about 1 or so…and Man U plays this aft to stay in the FA cup so that will be something to do…there was a weird smell coming from the car when I got home last night so I do need to check that out today…it could have been from another car…at least I hope it was…I guess I’ll find out this morning…not much to do today…I do need to get the summer clothes put away finally and get out some of the warmer stuff since there is a big cold spell coming later in the week….more later….
