Well…it was an okay day yesterday with the heat breaking a little and finally getting some rain…I do feel a little crappy since I had the first cocktails of the week but I took it easy so it’s not too bad….slept okay for me but that is not saying much…I think I may have eaten enough yesterday so I hope the energy levels will be up over what they have been…I did get the kitchen cleaned yesterday so I feel good about that…that’s about it for now…may meet up with T later today so I am looking forward to that…more later…

July 19th
Well…it was a long day yesterday but it appears that the weather has broken for at least a little while with it raining right now and some comfortable temperatures….I’m still running on empty but I know it’s from trying to survive on 1,000 calories since I still have no appetite…I may have to try some really spicy foods to jump start my taste buds but nothing even remotely interests me so that is going to be problem….I have been good the past few days and I don’t feel any better for it…well….I do feel a little better but the boredom of the nights kind of cancel that out and I’m not sure if I want the trade off….it a conundrum that I will wrestle with until I have to go to the grocery store this morning….not much to do today…it may be good if it continues to rain…might skip the bike ride and let the legs heal again…but, probably not….more later…
July 18th
Well…it was a little disappointing this morning at 5:40 when some storms rolled through with a lot of noise but nothing else…it did trigger some dreams afterward that included riding my bike with a long neck in my hand and a collage of places I’ve been mashed together….and it was a crappy night of sleep so I am a little worn out right now….and there were hundreds of cars parked on the lawn here for some reason….I am getting tired of the heat and I hope it breaks today…it is wearing to be sweating all the time and it is almost too hot to put the top down on the car….not much to do today…more resumes, of course, but I do need to clean this place up since the spiders are taking over and I just don’t like the looks of it….and I am going to try to cut the deficit in half today so come on back and take a look…
July 17th
Well…it was a day yesterday and the day got away from me but you know that since I didn’t come back for a second one…I am exhausted today and not thinking too clearly so this one is going to be short for now…I did have dreams that had T in them but I don’t remember them very well so I won’t report them right now….not much to do today…I am going to try to get out for coffee since I think the lack of coffee yesterday has something to do with the tiredness….and I do need the papers to get back on track….more later…
Okay…that was a HOT ride on the bike and it’s been over for a half hour and I am still dripping…just read an interesting fact in one of the newspapers…we have, on average, 11 days in Michigan that are over 90 degrees every summer, but, so far this year, we are already at 19 and counting…it looks like we will be over double the number by the end of the week…I can’t remember a summer this hot and I’m really old…going to need to put the air on later and run the electric bill up…
July 16th
Well…it was a day yesterday and I was successful doing nothing for my birthday…but, I have lots to do today so I need to get at it here in a couple of minutes…even going to skip coffee and the papers today which means that I will have to be creative for the second one for the day…I do still have the online papers but won’t get to that until after I get some work done around here and then get cleaned up….and then out for pool later so it will be a full day…I’ll be back later for more but should get to it right now…
Another one?
Well…I have been pretty successful at doing nothing today and I have been trying to remember a couple of topics that I wanted to write about but haven’t had any luck…I could muse a little about aging but I don’t feel any worse than I did 10 years ago so I shouldn’t bitch too much…I could use a break from this weather, though, it is getting a little trying when every day is over 90…and I don’t even want to see the electric bill after running the air every day to cool off enough to sleep at night…it looks like everything is set for my daughter’s wedding but it is going to cost me almost a grand that I don’t have but it looks like one more of the kids is coming so that will be cool…and, who knows, I might have a job by then….I wish there was something in politics to talk about…maybe I’ll go and re-read the paper for a topic…
July 15th
Well…running late today and at least this time I have a good reason…read the paper and got the bike ride in before it gets too hot…and, I didn’t come back for a second one yesterday since I got such a late start on the day…and, you know how weekends are…this is a somewhat special day…it’s my birthday and I’m not sure how I feel about that…it is good making it to another one, but is also another one…and they are piling up at a greatly accelerated rate it seems…there is one good thing, though…my birthday is the one day of the year that I allow myself to do absolutely nothing and not feel guilty about it…of course there are other days I do nothing, but I’m always guilty on those days….not much to do today…as I said, I’m going to do nothing today but watch races and take a nap…and maybe one more of these…but, don’t hold your breath…
July 14th
Well….it is the afternoon so that is pretty late huh? I had some things to do today…met up with the Miata owners club for a while out a Fallasburg park and it was fun but they all seem to be Obama haters and that will probably be a deal breaker for me…we’ll see…I did get a bunch of cool stuff for the Miata so that was neat…one thing, though…they all seem to be older than I am and most of them can barely move…weird…I am now just getting cooled off from being out in the sun for 3 hours and that feels good…but I do need to eat something since it is almost 3….so, I’ll be back later for more if I can get the brain working better….oh, and I do have one of the most rare Miatas…in color that is…so that is cool…
July 13th
Well…it was a day yesterday but didn’t accomplish much other than getting the car washed and waxed…but, I hope today will be different with what I hope will be a trip to Mt P and then getting a bunch of other stuff done…feel a little crappy today with the allergies going crazy and that led to no sleep last night…which really is not unusual lately…just realized it’s Friday the 13th…whatever that means…okay, going to come back in a while and continue…not feeling it right now….
Okay..been in the car all day and that has taken all of the energy I had….drove almost 250 miles today and I am tired and sunburned…so, I may just leave this as it is and come back for more tomorrow…but you never know…
July 12th
Well…it was a long day yesterday but I won at pool so that was okay….with that long day, I feel a little crappy today and slow so this one will be short for now…not much else to report….today looks like a car cleaning day since I need to head up to Mt. P tomorrow…okay…I need more ice water and couch so that’s where I’m going..more later…
Okay…got the bike ride in and waxed the car so I feel much better and the brain is starting to show signs of life so I thought I’d come back and add to this one…haven’t had the tv on yet today and it is after noon so I feel good about that…but I did eat way to much salty foods yesterday and I look like a blow up doll…could hardly get my shoes on this morning…oh, well…ice water should help that and I’m on my 5th glass of the day already….there are many things to comment on later but I may have some lunch first…
