Well…up late last night for no reason other than “Top Gear” was new and I wanted to see it….but that didn’t mean I slept in…no matter what time I crash at night it’s always up at the same time…between 6 and 6:12….no dreams either and that means the sleep was quite crappy. Oh, well…didn’t do a lot yesterday..no G so it was a night off for me…still feel kind of crappy and that is with being a good boy…have to take a while to figure that one out. Got everything done I wanted to yesterday but that only took until noon so the boredom came back quite strongly in the aft….need to get started on the next novel just to think I’m accomplishing something and I may get tot hat today…it’s not well fleshed out yet but I do have the kernel of an idea that might be a good one…won’t know until I get into it….not much to do today….might have lunch with T but haven’t heard from her so maybe not….going to take it easy out in Ada today if it happens…just not feeling well enough to do more….more later…

Well…a pretty much total veg day yesterday after the newspapers…just couldn’t get motivated to do anything…I did get out for a while since it was so warm and that was nice…it looks like the winter thaw is coming this week and I am going to get out on the bike Thursday since it is going to be around 50….just need the melt to happen before that so I can get on the trails…not anywhere near enough room to ride on the roads with the big snow piles out there. Need to wash the car this week, too so I can see out of the windows again…got reminded by T this morning that it is Valentines’s day today and I don’t know how I feel about it…it would be nice to have someone to go out to a nice dinner with…and the rest of it but it’s been so long since I’ve dated that I may have forgotten how it’s done. Oh, well….not much to do today…have to go out for supplies and the normal stuff of course….and the daily grind of resumes, resumes, resumes….but I am getting behind in my posts so I’ll try to do three today…including this one of course…more later…

Well….had a fun day yesterday…hung out with some of the old group at Logan’s and laughed a lot then came home to watch the race….fell asleep during it but that was okay..it looks like racing with the new car changes that nascar has done over the winter is going to be even crappier than last year…oh, well…there is always the Wings. Not much to do today…no SF since K is going to riverdance tonight but there is a Wings game this aft so I think it’s going to be a lay low day even though I don’t feel that bad….more later…I have to have my coffee and read the paper…I will be back later for another one…I hope…

Okay..waiting for the Wings to get to the last perlod and I still feel like crap this time of the day…it’s warm enough to go out on the bike if the trails were clear today an I am a little antsy to get out again…and I may take it out this week on the streets if it keeps getting warmer. No political stuff today I don’t think….finally watched the entire documentary “Supersize Me” about the guy who only ate McDonald’s food for an entire month and the effects it had on his body….not pretty….okay, worn out again and I’m heading to the couch to watch the rest of the game….still have that damn bug and I will be really thankful when it is finally over…I’ll look at the paper and see if there is anything for a topic…

Well…running late this morning for no reason other than I have been watching the documentary “the Cove” on my roku about the dolphin slaughter in Japan that won the oscar last year….not quite done yet but I needed to make coffee and get my newspapers. Had a fun day yesterday…did meet up with K for HH and she was the one who wanted me to watch the cove so we could talk about it the next time we meet up. The Wings looked good last night and finally played like they can and having a couple of cocktails watching them was fun…feel okay this morning so I must not have gone overboard…meeting up with C this aft to have a couple and it is nice to have some plans for a change. So, on that note, I’m going to get a cup of coffee and watch the rest of the movie before I tackle the papers…more later….oh, one last thing….it’s already almost 30 degrees already…yay!

Well…kind of a a good day yesterday…got the taxes done and a few things cleaned up around here and the fact that it is not 9 degrees this morning gives me hope that I’ll survive this winter. Okay, I know I’ll survive it but it is nice to see that it is going to be warming up some…yeah, when you get older, for some reason the weather becomes important…I would like to wash the car without it turning into a block of ice, though, and it would be good to be able to see out of the windows again. Did go out for a couple with G last night and it was good to see her…need to text K to see what she has going on…maybe a happy hour with her tonight would start the weekend out on the right foot. I do have some stuff to do today…groceries this morning and then the normal routine and it looks like the job market is picking up so I need to revise the resume and get a bunch of them out before I go completely broke….and cleaning, too…I’m surprised how much cleaning I have to do living alone….way too many cobwebs…oh, one thing, I found a live ladybug in my bathroom the other day…where do they come from in the winter? I guess I could ask the same thing about the spiders I still see…more later…

Well…felt like crap all day yesterday and I’m not sure that Tuesday was the cause….I hope I feel better today but I think that I have overlapping viruses since I have new symptoms that weren’t there when this crap started 3 weeks ago. Oh, well….it’s kind of like last year when I had this low level thing that lasted for almost a month. Didn’t really do much yesterday but go out for coffee and work out…watched another British show called “Wire in the blood” that is okay…and now have three more seasons to watch so I won’t get bored as much as normal. The chicken that I made yesterday came out really good and I will have to keep the carcass to make chicken soup next week….well, not next week since I do need two carcasses to have enough flavor…not much to do today…I do need to get the taxes done since I need to get the cash so I can pay the rent in April….and maybe out with G later but I’m not sure…I promise that I’m going to get more topics out almost everyday and I guess I’ll do the same today….More later…

Well…long night last night and I won at pool…finally, had a lot of fun but, like almost all Wednesdays, I feel a little crappy today. Was up and down all night starting at about 3 or so and I think that has something to do with it…still really tired right now so this one is going to be short and I will come back to add to it later…not much to do today anyway….might even skip coffee this morning but that is the only thing that keeps me going so doing that could just compound the problem….more later…

Okay…I’m back and feeling almost human again after coffee…I am getting really tired of the cold here in Michigan and my car isn’t faring much better….I think it may be time to replace it…but it’s going to be hard on me since I’ve had it for over 10 years and it has been a part of my identity for that time…but, the next one is going to be a convertible of some sort and that is good to look forward to…I know, canvas top converts are not the most practical things to have in Michigan but I lived with a Fiat 124 for 3 winters with a top that was held together with duct tape and didn’t have the heaters that the newer ones have…and rear wheel drive in the snow is a heck of a lot of fun…as my son has found out with his Genesis coupe…I think I have topics for later but have to work out first to keep from feeling guilty…and I have to check to see if the chicken I’m brining is thawed….

Well…was really bored last night after being in for 3 days so I thought I’d go out and watch part of the Wings game…oh, no G last night since she was a little under the weather and I do miss her…but, it was nice to have a little cash so I could go out and have a couple…the Wings won and I won 21 bucks at Keno which almost paid the tab and tip…only out 4 bucks for the night so that was fun. Had to go out since the Wings were on Versus…and only stayed for about half of the game…the new season of “Top Gear” started on BBC American and the show makes me laugh so much I couldn’t miss it. Needless to say…I feel okay today since I was good when I got home but my damn back is acting up again and I’m having trouble sleeping with the pain coming and going all night. I know, I could take some ibuprofen…but I just forgot…I am getting old after all. Not much to do today…have to to the taxes and send out some resumes…and of course, out to Ada for pool later….no snow today but it is going to be cold and I am getting tired of it…where the hell is our January thaw? Okay…I know it’s Feb but that’s no excuse…going back to the couch now to watch the last two episodes of “Californication”…I have been up since five….more later…

Well…not much of a day yesterday…just couldn’t get that interested in the super bowl and with GB winning, the Lions can say they beat the SB champs…a small consolation but a consolation…and I was wrong in my prediction of the winner….the Steelers just looked like crap and gave the game to the Pack..oh, well…no money on it for me so no big deal. I just couldn’t get into the 6 hours of pregame nonsense so I watched movies instead…and just took it easy most of the day…have made progress in the battle against cobwebs and I still have a clean microwave so the small victories are the ones I’ll have to celebrate. Still love the Roku…but I think I’ll need to just keep it shut off or only music to get some things done…not much to do today…I was good last night so I feel good this morning and might even be able to accomplish a few things. I will promise that I’ll have some political stuff out today…and maybe some other ones, too…but I’m not sure what those will be just yet. You’ll just have to come back to see…today could be a day of creativity…who knows? More later….

Well….running late this morning….have been up since dark, though, so there really is no reason for it other than I forgot….another shut out for the Wings last night and I just can’t understand those guys…I think it’s the feb slump that they go through every year…at least I hope it is. Didn’t do a whole lot yesterday…did make the pork loin roast and it came out so good….I even had two whole pieces…those of you out there that know me know how unusual that is…still having a hard time eating enough, it seems as though I’m stuck on about a 1,000 cal a day and I know that is not a good thing for me….I felt guilty about eating such a big meal so the rest of the day I had an apple…no real dreams since I got up early and they normally come in the hours between 5 and 7….I did get quite a bit of cleaning done in my kitchen and I’m no longer scared of using my microwave…I think it had it’s own ecosystem going in there….not much to do today..going to continue the cleaning later but right now it’s to the couch for the newspaper and some coffee…more later…
