December 13th

Well..running really late today and there is a reason for it…not sure if it is a good reason but I stayed up late watching the concert and had one too many cocktails so I do feel like crap today…I did have a fun happy hour with T yesterday and we laughed so much…certainly a highlight of my week….I slept okay last night with the combo of the melatonin and cocktails but there were no dreams to speak of that I can remember…I do think the car rides much worse with the snowies on it but that might be pressure so I’ll have to check that later today…and I do have things to do today…out to shoot pool in the aft then HH with K later…but I am so broke that I am going to have to skip the papers tomorrow….oh, well…I will be back for more later but I do need to work out and get the bike ride in this morning…

December 12th

Well…it was and okay day yesterday and the melatonin is working quite well, I think…much less tossing and turning but I still feel a little tired when I get up….other than that, it was a boring day and i didn’t accomplish much….today should be different with the grocery run first, a workout, putting the snowies on the car, getting a bike ride in and then meeting up with T for a couple….I am still quite depressed that I haven’t gotten a resume response in over 6 months…not sure why that is but I guess I need to figure something else out….I’m not sure what that is yet….more later…

Okay…just had to do a quick comment on the car…with the winter tires and flat black wheels it looks pretty badass….finally, something to make me smile….

November 11th

Well…just a quick one before I get going to take the car in, again, it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t really do much….so, I have to make up for that today….errands to run and work to do around here…I hope the car only takes three hours or so…more than that and I think the boredom of waiting will just about kill me…more later…

Okay…just got back and I’m not sure if the car is fixed yet…still smell coolant but that could be from spills when they were working on it…I am going to be really pissed if it is still leaking and I paid 200 bucks to repair something that wasn’t leaking…at least it was 90 bucks less than they estimated and it took an hour less to get it done…why can’t anyone do anything right the first time?

December 10th

Well…feeling like crap today and there is only one reason…but, tonight will be different so that is something to look forward to…I did win at pool yesterday so that is a plus….but I am still suffering from the malaise that I am in the grips of and even this is a monumental effort…so, I am going to go have coffee and read the papers and then come back for more…

Okay..back for a few…a little disappointed that lunch with T got canceled but I didn’t have any cash anyway so the few bucks I have in my pocket can stay there….and I can just stay here and lick the wounds a little…slept okay last night and I think it just may be the earplugs…I should put the snowies on the car but it looks like it will be nicer later in the week so I’ll just wait until then…not much to do today…I do have to get caught up here and now have to figure out what to have for lunch….but that will be later….right now it’s water and a little work…

December 9th

Well…just sitting here waiting for the Manchester Derby to start and thought I’d get this one done….it was a day yesterday and didn’t get the car fixed since the part is not here yet…but, that’s no big deal….I did have an okay day yesterday once I got back home but didn’t do much…haven’t been on the bike in three days and I think it’s part of the whole malaise that I have been feeling lately…will probably not go out again today since it is going to be so cold and the wind is already blowing about 15…not much to do today…I may be shooting pool but that will be determined by how much coolant the car is losing…will check that in a while but right now, the match is on…

December 8th

Well…up early and getting ready to take the car back in for a 4 hour ordeal….so, as you can tell, I’m not in too good of a mood right now…so, I’m not going to write a lot until later when I get back here…

Okay…I’m back and the car still isn’t fixed…the part I needed didn’t show up so the next date is Tuesday morning….not sure I mind that much…I did find out that the car is very cozy in the wet snow that I had on the way out this morning…but, it is only 8:49 and I have everything done I wanted to do so the boredom is going to come early….I guess I could clean and I think I will…not sure if I can take the car out tomorrow…I’ll have to check and see how much coolant it’s losing and judge from there…but, right now…there is soccer on and I’m going to veg a little and have more coffee….

December 7th

Well…just a quick one..getting ready to take the car in and need to get going…

Okay, just got back and the car isn’t fixed….they didn’t have the part and it is a much bigger job that I thought it would be…290 bucks and they have to remove the intake manifold to replace it…so I have to take it back in tomorrow morning and wait for it for 3 hours or so…it will be nice to just have the damn thing done…but, that price depresses me somewhat…what can you do? So, who knows if I’m going to be in the correct mood to do another one of these today…right now, I’m not so sure…

December 6th

Well…running late this morning and this time I know why…too many cocktails last night and I feel pretty crappy right now..but, I think I am coming to the realization that I don’t really want to do that much anymore…I like getting up in the morning and feeling good so I think that this weekend will be the last time….okay…I’m only half way through the papers so I’m going back to that and I’ll come back here in a while to finish up…

Okay…I’m back for a few after getting the workout in and reading the papers…I do feel a little better but the lack of energy I felt yesterday is continuing today and I’m not sure what is causing it….probably not eating enough, again, but the habit of keeping to under 1500 cals a day is pretty strong and it is a lot of effort to eat more…I did feel it on the bike yesterday with flat legs but my lungs were giving me fits, too…just don’t want another winter where I’m sick all the time…okay…that’s enough for now I’ll be back later for another one….

December 5th

Well…another day…more boredom and I am getting tired of it…at least I slept okay…well…not really, but not bitching about that….didn’t do much at all and today looks to be more of the same but I do have to do the grocery run today since I am out of food here except the fish in the freezer and I just am not in the mood for it…I guess I could clean and do some things around here but have not been able to get motivated to do that lately either…I will try today and see where it goes….I did have to make an appointment to have the car fixed Friday and I hope it will be under a hundred bucks…just have gotten tired of working on it and want it to be normal again….I will be back later for more since it is about the only thing I can afford…

December 4th

Well…up at the normal time this morning and slept okay last night so I am a little motivated to get to this early…and it was a no cocktail night so that helps, too….I am sore today, though, and it is that same neck problem I’ve been having for the last couple of weeks and I think it’s from sleeping on it wrong…or from sleeping better so I don’t toss and turn as much as I used to….still haven’t figured out the car but I am going to look at the last place the coolant can be leaking…but the bad news is that there are 5 things on that small part that can be leaking…at least I’ll take a look to see if there is something I can see….not much to do today…might have pool with Tom but he sounded really sick last night…if he feels like I did, the only thing he will want to do is hit the couch…more later…
