November 2nd

Well…damn, the string broke this morning and I didn’t sleep in…up at 4:54 and I went to bed late so about 6 hours of sleep and I’m feeling it today…didn’t get much done yesterday but I do need to do the grocery run this morning and try to get a name of a tree service from my brother so I can get in the queue and get my yard cleaned up…it is going to make me cringe driving the perfectly clean car in the slop this morning since there is still snow on the roads that they never plow up here…but I do need things and I can’t wait til tomorrow with the doctor appointment at 9…I do need to get on the bike today since I took the day off yesterday but I just don’t feel like it right now…so maybe after I do the grocery run…might be able to ride outdoors tomorrow and Saturday with the highs in the 50′s…it’s only 36 right now so I’ll be inside today….not much to do today…just need to get moving in an hour or so but I’m not motivated at all…and I do need to clean more today but that won’t happen til this afternoon…more later…

Insurance doesn’t cover the trees…

Well…after another tree fell and hit the house this morning, luckily no damage to the house, I called my insurance agent and she passed it on to my insurance company…whatever you do, don’t use Frankenmuth for your home insurance…they don’t cover trees falling unless it falls and damages your house…so, it looks like I’m on the hook for 2-3000 dollars to get the other half of the rotted tree taken down and get all of the branches cut up and get the sagging ones cut off…and it’s going to be almost 7 weeks before anyone can get here…fun, huh?

November 1st

Well…damn, at least the power stayed on last night…but I lost so much of my big tree that I’m not sure it will survive…and it’s 16 frickin degrees out there on the first of November when the normal lows are in the mid 30′s…and we got 13 inches of snow yesterday so that means I can’t even get out to do the grocery run…have a doctor appointment Friday morning and I’m not sure if I will be able to get to it since they never plow the streets out here…so here I sit…depressed as hell hearing more and more branches fall outside and knowing I’m going to have to spend thousands to get my place cleaned up…so today is going to be just sitting here and doing nothing…don’t have the energy to clean and don’t want to ride the indoor bike…crap, I’m getting too old for this shit…more later…
