Well…the day didn’t turn out as I expected….the nascar race was kind of boring and with the water being off here all day, I didn’t want to take the bike out and get all muddy. No night out with G, either, since she had a work function but that was okay..running low on cash and didn’t really need to spend any. I’ll bet you’re getting tired of me saying I feel crappy but I still do and I know it has to be a new bug…I did get the car washed and feel good about being able to see out of the windows again. Not much to do today…groceries this morning and then lunch with T which I’m really looking forward to…another Wings game tonight and I think it will be home with a couple of cocktails…oh, and the Wings won convincingly last night…have not seen them play like this all year and it looks like a good playoff run is going to happen this year…yay! I will have topics for later with all of the controversy here in Michigan…as you know, the repubs are trying to give the state away to business while taking more and more from the rest of us….more later….

Well…not sure why I have feeling so lousy lately but I do have hope that today will be better….yesterday was a veg day almost…did get a few things done around here but wasn’t really motivated to do more….didn’t even cook and If you know me, that’s like not breathing but maybe today I’ll fire up the slow cooker for some chicken….today looks kind of busy with the warmer weather…I am going
to wash the wreck to get the salt off and try to get out on the bike if it’s going to be in the 50’s….then there are the qualifying races from Daytona and maybe meeting up with G for a couple…then the Wings play later so finally, I have a day that I don’t have to think, I can just do the mindless things that most people do. I am really looking forward to that….I will get a couple out later since it is looking like the repubs have taken their stupidity to the next level and I will have to comment…do you expect anything less? More later….

Well…. a little bit more fun last night with taking it much easier…I did win at pool again but I know I can’t keep shooting well and Tom won’t keep giving me games forever….have not been sleeping well so I have to try something here in the near future…can’t keep going on every day being exhausted…but, I’ll figure something out…always do….at least the weather is better and I can almost see over the snow piles and it should get much better here in the next couple of days..it is treacherous out there trying to walk with the snow melt freezing when I go…have bunches of new muscles that hurt with the slipping and sliding…still want to get the bike out tomorrow and at least get a little muddy…will probably wear shorts, too, but it is a pain that the trails are not melting at all and I’ll have to use the streets….not much to do today….I’m not going to bore you with describing the same thing you’ve heard for the last year….so, if there is something new, I’ll pass that on…more later….

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….
