December 15th

Well…it was a day yesterday and I never set foot out of this place…but, that won’t be the case today….it was okay, though, with the “Heroes” marathon I was on….it really helped pass the time and it is not a bad show….might even make paying for Netflix this month worth it….and with it being a no cocktail night…I feel okay and I’m looking forward to the day…not much to do today…I do need to go out for groceries in a few minutes and I skipped working out yesterday so I’ll have to do that…and I may have a couple later with K…haven’t seen her for a couple of weeks and that would be nice….it is going to be hard to spend the money for groceries today, though, since I’ll be spending money I don’t have….but, I do need to have food that is not fish…more later….

Oh, I do have another one for later….about the latest attempt to shred the constitution…and this one is bi-partisan…

December 14th

Well…another night, another good Wings game that made the night go by pretty fast…I was the text hub for the game last night and it was a little fun…but slept like crap and feel pretty lousy this morning…and it looks like I’ll be staying in today since I only have 6 bucks in my pocket and going out for coffee would take it all….so, I’m going to hunker down here today and clean to take my mind off being broke…maybe watch a couple of movies, too, but I just looked through Netflix and there is nothing I want to see….I guess I’ll figure something out…not much to do today…have to try to find something to cook but there is nothing in the freezer but fish and I am getting tired of it…maybe some turkey soup….more later…

December 13th

Well….as I add the titles to these, I get this feeling that my life is slowly slipping by in those numbers…..and it is 5 in the morning again and I am up; sitting here trying to make my brain stop and not having a lot of success. Today may be a lost day again…I can’t see it being a success at all…maybe a survival day….trying to smile and make it all go away but I’m getting less and less certain that that is possible anymore. So, I’ll be back later to try to add to this one but I can’t promise that it will happen….

Okay..two days of wallowing and that is just enough…so, it’s time to get going again and stop this nonsense. it has been an okay week but the car is still not fixed right….only got one day out of the gasket this time but I’m not going to take it back until tomorrow or thurs…did get the bike ride in and it was a good one…it does make a difference when I eat before I go…had some energy today and it felt pretty good. Not much else to do today…I was up at 4:40 so I may take a nap and not feel guilty about it…or I might…still not completely out of the black hole yet…more later…and I mean it this time…

December 12th

Well…it was an excruciating day yesterday and I am now just beginning to see the light again…but I have been busy this morning..took the car back in again and I think they may have fixed it finally…that is one thing I won’t have to think about for a while now I hope…but I’m still broke so that is another problem that has to be dealt with..but not right now…I do need to get back into the fitness routine since it looks like I have 4 days that I can still ride the bike…my eyes have been bad all morning and I can’t see too well even with my glasses on…that is kind of weird but I don’t think it’s anything serious….not much to do today…geez…even my fingers aren’t working too well so maybe I’ll keep this one short and come back later for another one…I do owe you one on politics, after all…

Okay…I’m back for a minute…it’s been a whirlwind day with going out the door at 7:30 to have the car fixed and then have been working on some resume revisions for a contract job that I applied for….so, I may not get to the political one today…but I will promise that I will get caught up tomorrow and have a couple extra ones….

December 11th

Well…this is going to be a short one…have fallen off the cliff again and I am having trouble just writing this little bit…the car broke again yesterday and I am so broke that I am going to have to beg off the friends Christmas dinner with G since I can’t afford the 50 bucks or so the food would cost….it feels like my life is a black hole that is slowly consuming itself…so, I won’t make the promise of coming back later…

December 10th

Well…another night of boredom but I think it was okay…I survived it, after all, and I’m back to do this for a while…it was a pretty good day yesterday…made turkey soup from the carcass of the t-day turkey and it came out a little strange…the orange juice that I used to brine it really came out in the soup so it has a kind of citrus taste that I didn’t expect…but it is still good and I have 3 containers in the freezer. Looks like another day of no riding and I am not looking forward to it…oh, well…not much to do today…might have a couple with K later but I haven’t heard from her so it may be another day of staying in…saves cash so I guess I shouldn’t complain…okay, going to go watch W.C. Fields in “The Bank Dick” and veg….more later…

December 9th

Well….another night of the normal stuff but the Wings won so that made it a little better….I am running late today and just looked outside to see that there is snow on the car which just depresses the heck out of me…I know it’s December in Michigan but it doesn’t make it any easier…oh, well…looks like no bike ride today but that may be okay…the wind yesterday was just brutal and I am sore everywhere….not much to do today….and I really mean it this time…I will go out for coffee but that’s about it…and I will be back here for a couple since I don’t have anything else to do….more later…

December 8th

Well…another night and no cocktails for 5 in a row…not having all of those calories is a good thing and I feel quite good so far toiay….it was another bore of a night last night with no Wings but today will be different so I have something to look forward to….no dreams to report either so this one is going to be really boring for you, too. I did get a ride in yesterday which put me over 2700 miles for the year and there even may be more coming later in the week or weekend…..and I guess I am appreciating every extra day that I get…and I did feel so much better after the ride…oh, well…not much to do today…that’s not really true…I have to do the grocery run, make a nice lunch of roast pork, and then out for HH with K and V…it will be nice to get out of here and talk to some humans for a change…and there is a Wings game tonight so it will be quite a full day for a change….I will have more later that will be better but those damn politicians aren’t helping….

December 7th

Well…another night, another Wings loss and that depresses me some…but it is a long season and they will come back out of this slump….but the rest of the night was a bore as always and I was watching the clock just waiting to go to bed…but the problem with that is that you get up the next morning and it starts all over again. Sounds like a Pink Floyd lyric….but, it is another day and I will have to make the most of it…I did get some cleaning done yesterday and that will continue today, too….there are spiders to be removed and food to be cooked so that is something to look forward to. It is supposed to be 35 today so I may be able to get out for a ride, too, but that’s what they said about yesterday and it never got over 32….not much to do today….going to just do the normal routine and then come back here and try to get a few of these out….and I may even have something relevant to say….or maybe not, who knows?

Just noodling…

Well…it as been a long day of nothing really…maybe why it felt so long..at least I did get some cleaning done including getting the cobwebs off the road bike and finally putting the papers out to recycle. It looks like a long stretch of not seeing anyone this week and it’s not getting any easier….oh, well….and it is a no cocktail night for the next three to rest the liver and cut down on the calories…I’m still feeling quite guilty about not riding the bike everyday and that is compounding this malaise I feel…I guess I could feel good about getting four of these out today but then the guilt of not saying anything erases that completely….so, maybe I should just stop here and wait to see if there is any lucidity in my future…
